One Thousand Gifts - Between Sessions

There is Between Session work in the One Thousand Gift bible study.

We are asked to continue to write down our gift list.  To always have a place to write handy - a file on the phone, the computer, a note book and or a dry erase board.

Ten more dots to write down gifts in our guide.  I will share a few from this week.

1. A good result from my tests last week.

2. A visit from my sister.
3. A friend called and we made plans.
4. Fellowship with ladies.
5. My sisters grandson is getting better.

Our ugly-beautiful moments are moments when we can excavate the experience deep enough to see Christ.  Many times we cannot, at times all we can do is cope, at times we can be grateful, and then other times we can be transformed by the moment.

Mosaic Monday - Weekend Treasures

My niece was up for the weekend and there was a large rummage sale on so we hopped into the car and headed out.  Wow!  The prices were very good.  These treasures are from several stops along the way this weekend which included the rummage sale, the re-use center and the thrift store.  The souvenir spoon from Tahiti I'm hoping to turn into at necklace, I love the beautiful texture on the back of the bowl.  The tiny wood books were just too cool to leave, they may end up on a canvas collage.  The pen is heavy, of good quality and made in Germany by Elysee, my plan is to use it as prop in still life photography.  The bud vase is vintage and absolutely gorgeous. I added the bit of rose colored seam binding I found along the way. It is photographed on the 2 navy blue placements I found which will work for my winter decor. The aroma therapy pendant is something I have looked at many times but they are very pricey, this one was not.  I love the colors in the glass.  Yellow striped potholder will fit into the kitchen perfectly.
I am submitting to Mosaic Monday hosted by Judith at Lavender Cottage.

I picked up this stained glass angel for song at the Rummage Sale.  It is quite large and will join the other stained glass pieces in the living room window so I can see it every day with the sunlight streaming through it. I know it has a little crack but don't we all have our imperfections and that is okay.
