A Blessing A Day...Day 10

I had a couple of opportunities to bless my family members today. Today was Andrew's voice instructor's birthday. He already had a gift for her, but needed something to put it in at the last minute. I found this cute little purse in my craft room and created a birthday tag to attach. It was the perfect size for the pin he had purchased.

Today was also Christina's winter formal for her college. We really didn't think ahead on this one and had to do hair and makeup ourselves. Makeup is no big deal because she does so much of that with the drama productions she is in. Hair, however, is a big deal because neither one of us is creative at all in that area. I watched a couple of videos on youtube today and got some ideas. Here's a pic of her before she left... (Notice that I still haven't deactivated the time stamp on my camera...ugh)

A Blessing A Day...Day 9

Today one of my dear friends welcomed her first grandchild into this world. Is there anything sweeter than a brand new tiny baby?! We had the opportunity to visit this little angel in the hospital tonight...along with her very blessed family. Here are some pics of Olivia Brooke Wesley. (Ignore the time stamp on the pics. I didn't realize that was turned on & my camera was charged today for the first time in a while. She really was born today and not at

Christmas.)

This was obviously a perfect opportunity to get busy in my craft room. So after the details were passed on to me I got busy and made a little gift for Olivia and her family. Here's what I came up with...

I know baby Olivia's picture is just going to be precious in this frame. The blessing challenge continues tomorrow. Hope you will join me in being intentional about loving on those around you!

A Blessing A Day {Day 7}

Today was a double blessing. One for me and one for someone else. I had decided in the morning that I would fix spaghetti for dinner. We had some homemade sauce in the freezer so it was an easy meal to prepare...thaw/heat sauce, cook noodles. Andrew had commented that he was glad we were having spaghetti, but it was sad for Christina (since its her favorite and she would have to eat dorm food that night). Well, guess who showed up at dinner time? It almost never happens, so I was very surprised that she was home for dinner in the middle of the week. I guess my choice to fix her favorite was probably a divine whisper from God, because He knew she would be there to share it with us.

Since I don't have a picture of our meal, or of us eating it, I am just going to post a typical happening at the Graham house. This is Kai, one of our many four legged family members.

Even our dogs enjoy crafts! Hope you are blessed today :)
