This wreath was going to be my 4th Alice in Wonderland project but became something completely different when I came across this wonderful old hymn. I love old hymns.

“35 and Still Alive” Photo Memory Tag
It’s my birthday today! I’m 35, and still alive. My Dad died at age 34, and as far back as I can remember that number has stuck in my mind as the age at which my life might end. In fact, this whole year of “34” has been one of silent anxiety […]

A distich is two lines of Jewish poetry. You are probably familiar with distiches if you have read through Proverbs. As our family has read through Proverbs the last few months, I noticed that there were several different ways these two lines of poetry were arranged. Upon further investigation, I discovered […]
A Blank Book for “Illustrated Proverbs 31”
Is there anything as irresistible as a blank book? When I see a plain cover filled with empty white pages, a thousand and one ideas come flooding into my mind. When I saw this one in Hobby Lobby a few months ago, I had to have it. The cover of this book is sturdy […]
