Sweet little "Nesting Bird"

This is a close-up of the glitter embossing & texture paste.


I had so much fun designing this sweet little mama bird.  For more information visit my business site at Mercantile & Artistic Paperie on this up coming class.

    She is sitting patiently on her nest in the springtime.  We endure through the winter cold and wait for the blossoms and new birth to approach. Though I hate the cold of winter I love the beauty that it brings. I have found that if we look hard enough we can find beauty. Believing GOD is all around us, HE whispers HIS beauty. Whether it be in the bright color of the cardinal against a fresh blanket of white snow in the dead of winter. How we can see the analogy of our dead selves covered by the blood of CHRIST which makes us new and white, fresh, purified (snow purifies the air of toxins) and beautiful. Our old man is no longer seen, but the righteousness of CHRIST is now evident in our lives. After the winter has passed the....new birth begins.
     May your day be filled with beautiful moments--love Ellie G.

You may be asking,
                   "What exactly is Making Moments Beautiful all about?"

I will reflect a bit and share with you about something recently that occurred.  I had purchased a stamp phrase that says, "I'm going to make everything around me beautiful... that will be my life". (having been through a lot in life -like most people) 
I determined in my spirit this should be my life. So starts the journey. 

Like my introduction says whether I'm art-tist-ing*, crafting, or just living life. I want to make it a beautiful journey. We get one chance to go through a moment. I want to work my hardest at making it worth the trip. Sweet smelling and full of beauty that effects everything around me.  

Join me in Making Moments Beautiful.
