Crafts galore!

We moved into a very old, broken down, extremely
neglected house, which we are busy revamping.  It takes
a lot of energy and effort to go DIY, but room by room we are
making progress. (Thank God!).

Whenever I find a free moment I make necklaces or crosses.
I've sold quite a few Swarovski crosses and beads.  Try to keep
my prices down and are so greatful for the regular customers.
My hobby has now become a second income and a necessity
for sanity...

Bible box

My dad makes the blanks for me,
then I do the decoupage.
I always insert a Bible verse
on the inside

Rejoice

Thank you for signing my guest book (the few that did).

All that I want to share for now is that God created us to have a free will.  You and I can choose to smile, choose to be friendly and choose to develop our talents and bless creation with that. 

I asked the Lord to show me where I must go with my life after having two babies close together.  Didn't feel like teaching any more.

And it all started out with cardmaking six years ago...

My mom showed me a few techniques and off I went... Very shy... to our local home industry. 

When my first card was sold, some more followed and then I started doing decoupage...

More to follow on this topic.

I made these keyrings as souviniers for the guests at my parents 40th anniversary party.

Update at last!

oops:Didn't keep my commitment.  But here is my update - rather late than never.  Autumn is peeping here in South Africa. 
Because my mother tongue is Afrikaans I understand the site's origin a little - Afrikaans was derived from Dutch.

Therefore I was in shock when I realised this was actually a blog for the elderly. I am interested to know the age of you who reads this blog. Feel  free to reply.

Very busy with my grade 0  and 1 kiddies. They are a busy joy.God is really doing great things in and through their small lifes. My husband is climbing the corporate ladder and is performing very well at his job.  We praise God for that!.  He and kids went to 'n big rugby match yesterday afternoon (they know by now to count me out... rugby is not one of my passions).  By the way my husband helped out with the Dendermondse rugby club when he was still a teacher...

My mom and dad had their 40th wedding anniversary recently.  It was quite a festivity!  I ( with the help of my husband) created a slide show "surprise" for the occasion.  Was great fun and took me  54 hours to create.  Inserted pictures from their wedding day, youth, etc.; added sound effects which caused a few good laughs.

I will include the poem that I write for my parents.  Take note - I have full copyright!! No publishing without my permission thanks.  The lucky ones that know Flemish and Dutch might understand some of it.

ROBYNE
 
God gee die rooi
vir die robyn
Sy son sal
onwillekeurig deur die
steen se glorie skyn
en die aanslae se
dofheid laat verdwyn
Want
 deur die jare
leer ons fyn kyk
gelowig praat.
-Skerp geslyp.
Want dis nooit
te laat
 om ‘n spatsel wynrooi
te besef
en te weet dis die Meester
se reliëf
wat robyne vorm
en my en jou ‘n
pad saam gee.
Dis ENORM!
