New Cards & Notebooks

Beauty

This is my beautiful newly designed picture frame. I really didn't know what I was doing or what I was going to do with it, I know I wanted to do it black and white, and then i decided to cut the butterfly out of the paper and then it all fell together from there. I am very impressed with my results, now I just wish a bigger photo could fit inside (like a 5 by 7). Oh well. Enjoy!

New Photo Frame

Hey guys; this is one of my recently made photo frames. I am selling all of these frames in my online shop at http://amandalarsen7.etsy.com so I hope you will check it out!

It's been a long day and I am exhausted. I worked 11 hours today, and 8 1/2 hours tomorrow so hopefully I will get in a nice nap after work tomorrow. But it has been good. I really enjoy the people I've been seeing and they've kept me happy and greatful that I get to spend time with them. Most of the people I help out in their homes are sooo stinkin' sweet! That's when I can honestly say I love my job as a Home Health Aide (HHA). Well have a great night everyone.

New cards

Here are my wonderfully newest handmade cards I have made! Hope you like them. They're pretty simple so I don't think I need to explain how to make them. If you have questions, I'd love to answer them!!

Altered Picture Frames

I found these cheap picture frames in the $1 bin at Target. Three frames for $2.50. I covered them with paper and added embellishments and they turned out GREAT! I'm going back tomorrow to buy a bunch more!! Good ideas to sell at my craft show coming up in August!!! Enjoy!

God's plans are not mine

I'm amazed at where I am in life right now. A year ago I was getting ready for my first year of Nursing School. My heart was so deep into the thought of me being a Nurse and serving overseas one day. So what happened? Why did I all of a sudden have a change of heart? I'm not sure. All I know was i didn't change out of my own selfish motives, I knew God was somehow telling me that wasn't it, He wanted something else, something better for me. Missions has always been on my heart. Therefore I looked into the Intercultural Studies Program at Grace University.

Well here I am...I have my classes registered for Grace University and am going into the IS Program. Wow. God, how did I get here already? It seems like I was just dragging along in the storm and rain. Now the sunshine has finally brightened up. You brought me over the hurdle like you always do. Like you always will. God you are faithful, no matter how much we don't want to believe it sometimes. Here I'm getting ready to move home for a couple weeks and move into the dorm life. It'll be a big change; a bit scary. I'm ready for it. I'm overly excited about it. So many things have cleared up since I made this decision. When I dropped out of Nursing School officially, I doubted all over again- what was I doing shutting out my "was-to-be" dreams. I guess they were altered, and made better. For God always has something so incredible waiting around the corner for us, but we have to wait and be patient for it. For when we surrender everything, is when we are blessed abundantly!
