    What is #ScrappySunday to me?

    January 29, 2023 /

    Scrappy Sunday is my special day to work on creative, scrappy projects and celebrate the love for crafting I believe I inherited from my Heavenly Father. Yes, I’m a proud follower of Jesus. While I’m not here to force my faith on anyone, I aim to reflect God’s love through my actions and interactions. My goal is to be like a lighthouse—shining His light to guide others to safety and peace. I’m just the vessel; He is the light within. Mark 12:30-31 reminds us: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these.’ For…

However, the urge to create is one of the things that brings me joy {AND} inner peace. So that is the “adventure” I am constantly seeking.  It is important to note though, that we have to plan time and take steps each day so…

    Word of the Year!

    January 6, 2023 /

    There is something about the possibilities that a new year can bring and it’s ability to awaken your soul. I always have the urge to make something but if I am being honest it is not always yarn related. My crafting pulls can vary daily and sometimes, the pull is to a DIY, to play around with stickers in my planner, and even building in a video game. Regardless the outlet, there is a constant creative aspect of my life that I do have to experience daily or I am left feeling unaccomplished for the day. If I am really being honest with you, if it is not being exercised,…
