Moving to New Blog!

Hi Everyone-
I have had this prayer blog for 6 months. As a result, I have spent more time blogging and less time for spirituality. I have decided to have everyone just come over to my Whimsical Musings blog where I will be blogging...


I look forward to seeing you on my Whimsical Musings blog!!! (Just click the name and you will be directed there.)


Love,
Cindy

Happy Sunday to You All!


"Friends Week" continues as I introduce you to some
awesome friends you might have seen on here
before. All are amazing artists--and amazing
friends!!!
This is a gorgeous collage that June from the U.K.
just made for me with my precious Jamie!!! I was so
surprised!!! I absolutely love it!

Faye

This is a beautiful collage that
Faye recently created--isn't
it sublime? Faye is from the
U.S.


Here is my friend June (also from the
U.K.!)

June not only creates beautiful art
like this piece above, but she also
has her own online store where
she sells amazing images for altered
art!



Cheryl's creativity comes to life on her blog that is
filled with numerous gorgeous projects--I can't
even pick a favorite! Cheryl is from the U.K. too!



Here is a gorgeous grunge tag from
Chris--I love the colors and rust
embellishments!! Chris is from
Canada!

Now I'll let you in on a little "scoop!" These women
are a constant source of inspiration to me....and
what do I value most? Their friendship!! I can
write to them in the middle of the night and
if I've got a question or prayer request--or
anything--they are there for me.

How is it possible that God blessed me
with so many wonderful friends?

I am certain that so many of these fabulous ladies
have blessed your lives too!!!

If you'd like to meet them, just zip over to their
blogs....If you're pressed for time and would like
to leave a comment here, I'm sure they'd love
to come back and read them.

If you've missed any of my other "friends" stories,
just zip on down the page!

Wishing you all a Happy Sunday!!

Special Friends

Hi Everyone--
I hope you are enjoying "Friends" week here on my blog.
I'd like to introduce you to my friend Kathy from
Creative Home Expressions!

Kathy does interior design and has a
flair for the awesome!

How beautiful is this little nook in her house?
I love it!

And Sissie at Sissie's Shabby Cottage makes the
beautiful things! Including these pillows!

Her blog is gorgeous and she owns her own store too!!

My friend Tammy is a total world traveler!!! I'm
sure that many of you know and love her...
but, I wanted to feature her so you could
visit her blog.


Just look at her here--Isn't this amazing?
Tammy is at T's Daily Treasures and she's
so fun to know!!

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for visiting my blog and to these 3 friends for making 2010 so fun!

This is a fun week for me because I've been able to introduce you to some people who are very inspirational to me and I hope they will be to you too!!!

Smiles Galore!!

Who of us can't relate to the friendship of Lucy and Ethel? Remember all the shenanigans they got into? Well, as I continue "Friends" week to introduce you to some people, it would not be complete without my friends Donna and Linda.

I opened an Etsy store in October--Did I mention that I didn't have a clue what I was doing? Well, Donna and Linda were unbelievable with my 10 thousand questions and emails a day asking, "How on earth do I list this stuff?"

Donna made my "drama" much more fun as we have laughed our way through it all!!! She has been my anchor and confidante as I jumped in "feet first" into this new enterprise.



I talked to Linda non-stop who is the perfect mix of calm and confidence--She is my idol! And no matter what I asked, she walked me through everything...totally amazing!

And the best part? These are spirit-filled women with wisdom and joy...I value them greatly as I do ALL of you.

But, when I saw this picture of Lucy and Ethel, I thought of my antics and how I was like a proverbial "Lucy" asking these awesome friends for advice all along the way as I "set up shop" on a wing and a prayer.

That was only the beginning of friendships that were forged and I have to admit, I'm much more interested in how our lives are going, what we're busy doing, and the ins and outs of every day life. The fun and laughter and sharing is much more important to me!

Thank you, you guys--love and hugs to you both!

And thank you to everyone who is visiting and reading this...Also, if you'd like to read about my
birthday bash, please click here.

Awesome Friends!

I always looked forward to watching "Laverne
and Shirley." Who didn't? They were always
so fun!!!

And I have so many amazingly fun friends.
One is Carol from The Answer is Chocolate.

Carol not only creates beautiful art, but always
bakes amazing deserts as you can see here.

She is always so fun and inspiring to
everyone.

And she refers to herself as "The Head
Chocolatier." How cute is that?

And while I'm busy being grateful for friends, One
Heart is my awesome friend who not only creates
art, but is amazing in the kitchen as well!

Here are some examples from her blog.



Doesn't this look delicious?

But more than that, these friends offer such inspiration,
encouragement, and joy!!! I hope you will go visit
them!

Carol is here.
One Heart is here.

If you go, tell them I sent you!
