Text of the page (random words):
ent clusters i made using 3 various sized ornaments ribbon and glittery snowflakes after adding some new elements to the top portion of my tree i decided not to use our star we originally purchased years ago since it didn t match anymore so i had to figure out what else to do i saw large white wooden letters and teal glitter at michael s that just happened to be on sale and decided they had to go home with me i dug out the ol mod podge and sponge brushes and coated the front side of the letter with it then sprinkled a generous helping of glitter over the top and brushed off the excess glitter on the side with a clean brush once the mod podge was dry i used clear acrylic sealer to coat the front and sides after all of that dried i hot glued two clothes pins onto the back of the letter in order to attach the k to the top branch of the tree i m soooooooo happy with the result what do you think here are the decorations for my mantle my hubby put the wood together for the merry christmas sign and i printed the text on top after painting it with acrylic paint and sanding it once the touch ups were done with the calligraphy and the merry was filled in using sharpie paint it was sanded one more time to distress the lettering clear acrylic spray was used to coat the entire piece when the desired look was achieved the green pine garland was wrapped with white lights and affixed to a scrap piece of picture mold the length of my mantle this way the garland will sit atop the mantle without falling off to either side and i didn t have to knick up my mantle with hooks or pins i used some of the ornament clusters i had created last year and added some teal poinsettias between each cluster i found the large votive holders a few years ago at kirkland s for under 20 and had them stored in my closet epsom salt and clear glitter were combined to create snow and various loose ornaments were dropped in atop the snow i love the look of the snow when all of the lights are off except the christmas lights it s stunning i also found some medium sized ornaments on teal and green at target for a steal and decided to put them all in one of my glass candy jars at the last minute i found a strand of 35 count white christmas lights at michael s for 1 99 and thought they d look great mixed in with the ornaments and i was right i even decorated the outside this year using items that were either left over from last year or years before or items that were free the wreaths were leftovers from last year as were the ribbons and ornaments that were added to them one went between our garage bays and the others went on the windows at the front of our house the flower pots are holding the roots of my geraniums from this year but they are covered with a thick layer cedar branches i added large teal glittery and glossy ornaments given to me by a sweet friend of mine this year to each pot along with a few pinecones that i stole out of my mom and dad s yard teeheehee and placed one between our two garage bays and the other on our front porch so that s what this momma bear has been up to this year for christmas i haven t even begun to make all of my christmas candy yet i guess i d better get on the ball lol so with that i m headed to the kitchen to make brownies for the yahoos and read a little before i pass out for the night until then let me know what you ve been doing different this year for christmas and or the new year posted by unknown at 8 47 pm 1 comments labels lord have mercy photography sunday december 15 2013 they tied the knot it s official they are now a family wishing many years of love and happiness ahead until later posted by unknown at 8 46 pm 0 comments labels lord have mercy photography sunday december 1 2013 time flies it seems like only yesterday that this precious and beautiful little lady entered our lives and it s even harder to believe that she will be celebrating her 9 month birthday at the end of this week i can t imagine loving her more than i do today but each passing day brings more love and affection with it she s my pride and joy and she s the apple of my eye i m so proud to call her mine and so thankful that she calls me memma god is good all the time and all the time god is good until later posted by unknown at 4 15 pm 1 comments labels lord have mercy photography ramblings sunday march 10 2013 our new addition i would love to introduce you to miss kaylee marie gurley my precious granddaughter her mother jordyn gave birth to our princess this past wednesday afternoon march 6th she was born at 2 20 pm weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and was 20 1 2 inches long she and her mother came home friday both are healthy and perfect our oldest son christian met and fell in love with jordyn when she was already pregnant with our angel i must admit that it was hard as a mom who had become pregnant before i was married myself to accept that my child had fallen in love with a girl who was pregnant with someone else s child and i was also afraid that christian didn t understand the responsibility he would be taking on stepping into the role of daddy but as we began to learn and know more about jordyn we fell in love with her too and of course we began to feel as though kaylee was our granddaughter by blood as well as i ve told many others before once i love you there is no going back i will always love you i am so excited to see what this life has in store for christian jordyn and kaylee although i know that there are rough times ahead and periods of adjustment that they ll go through i am confident that the lord will guide them and help them to raise our new little angel and they will always have us and jordyn s mother kristi to lean on i look forward to spoiling and loving this precious little bundle as long as god allows me posted by unknown at 5 45 am 9 comments labels ramblings thursday january 10 2013 the written word and a new look well the new blog header footer and sidebar elements are up and running i just finished up the new signature badge to complete the transformation all supplies from sweet shoppe designs i m still in love with the simple white background i think it makes the blog look clean and uncluttered just like me lol hope you like the new look as much as i do in my spare time ahem i ve also been doing a little reading i m totally addicted to books that are in a series it s hard for me to order much less read a book that is considered over once you ve turned that last page especially if i feel invested in the story and the characters then again it s also excruciating to wait a year sometimes more for that next installment in the series to be released but becomes so worth it when you realize that the story isn t over and may continue for several more publications this is why you ll see several pictures with more than one book included in the photo here are some of the books i ve recently crossed off of my to read list the divergent series by veronica roth divergent insurgent book 3 coming fall 2013 the kane chronicles series by rick riordan the red pyramid the throne of fire the serpent s shadow peculiar children series by ransom riggs

12 05 am 4 comments labels photography by mercy ramblings thursday october 25 2012 clearing the air howdy from georgia it s been a while since i last posted and i wanted to touch base with all of you for a bit this will be quite a lengthy post so please bear with me as i clear the air about some things that have brought to my attention when i first started blogging a few years ago i did it as a means to share and document some of the paper crafting i was doing at the time i was enjoying perusing the internet other blogs and paper crafting communities to find and try to be some inspiration i met some fabulous ladies and gentlemen in the process of blogging and cardmaking and even got to spend some time with some local ladies that also shared a love of stamping and crafting in general but i also met a lot of individuals who were one thing on the computer and another in real life i guess that s the dark side of the world wide web anyone can act and or portray themselves as anything they wish without being policed or held accountable such an incident happened earlier today while i was checking the comments waiting to be reviewed for publication a certain unnamed stamper left a comment which has been deleted by me stating that she was so disappointed in the direction that my blog has gone since i left the stamping community and that she would not be returning to view my blog again she went on to imply that the posts i created regarding the books that i have read over several months upset her to no end she is entitled to her own opinion and quite frankly so am i so here we go i have always tried to keep my blog posts light hearted and fluffy as to be an inspiration and positive experience for the readers all of the readers unless i needed to vent of course this certain unnamed stamper insinuated that i should be posting more christian things since i had stated over a year ago that i was taking a break to focus on my walk with the lord as a result there were several weeks and months when i didn t post anything to my blog so that i could get my spiritual life on track during that time i sold or gave away every stitch of stamping and crafting stuff that i had accumulated over the years wanna know the whole truth i walked away from the crafting community because of women like this certain unnamed stamper my personal experience in the stamping world is that most not all but most of the people out there are simply looking out for number one and number one only and they don t give a flip who they demolish in the process i have witnessed and been privy to backbiting lying and scheming and deceitful behavior the likes of which would make your hair stand on end all for the mighty dollar and attention and then after months and months of having nothing to do with that community i m reprimanded and belittled for not being christian enough in my posts on my personal blog my relationship with the lord is no one s business but my own but to set the record straight those books were read at night whenever i layed down to go to sleep and i still do the same thing they were read after i had spent the day as a stay at home mom and devoted wife doing all of my chores and household duties for the day they were read after i had spent my quiet time with my bible and my lord they were read in order to help me wind down and fall asleep much like people watch television as they fall asleep yes i could have used that time to read the bible again but i didn t i had a teenager in my home who was reading these books and others like them so i was making sure that i knew exactly what was in them and i enjoyed most of them that doesn t mean that i m any less christian than the next person either i m sure there are people out there who sit on their couches and enjoy questionable television shows when they should be reading their own bibles but i m not about to judge or call out someone when i don t know their heart or their character it s been said that we should guard our character which is who we actually are and we should think less of our reputation which is what people think we are i have walked away from communities friendships and relationships including some of my own family members in order to guard my character and protect my family i was raised here in the south by christian parents who instilled in me that your words should be the truth your walk should match your talk and right is right even if no one else is doing it i m not one who enjoys drama or controversy but i m not afraid to stand up and defend myself when necessary either and when someone threatens my integrity i find that highly offensive you don t have to like me or every single thing that i post on my blog but that s just it isn t it it s my blog i m not gonna be on here every day bearing my heart and soul to individuals who would rather be trying to tear someone down than to lift them up that s not who i am i have made bad decisions just like everyone else but i m at the point in my life where i am making no apologies for who i am or what i stand for to anyone i can t tolerate liars or those who think they are holier than thou and i won t tolerate them all i can do is pray for these people not associate with them and do what s best for me my husband and my children after all they are the ones i answer for if this post offends anyone then you are welcome to stop following my blog i will not lower or compromise my standards simply because they don t conform to everyone else s morals and or beliefs i will not be changing the format of my blog either i will post what i want when i want welcome to america and the south amen posted by unknown at 8 30 pm 17 comments labels ramblings thursday august 9 2012 a little summer
