Every little Princess needs a Prince Charming
Ok, I had to make this for all the Prince Charmings out there! The Princess overlay has been so popular i figured there had to be a need for a Prince too! I was thinking that it might be good to do this with the crown on the opposite side, so if you wanted to do a layout with both, they would kinda match. What do yall think? I will do it if I get 10 comments...today saying you want it the other way too! I hope you enjoy, got lots to do today, so not much info on the post. Have a great weekend! Grace for today.... His, Teri
Bet you are wondering where the link is? Well I got a little smarter today and now, all you have to do is click on the preview to get the link! Is this better? Let me know if you would rather have a click "here" to get to the link. I kinda like it simple, so it looks cleaner to just click the preview!

Welcome to our world, Michaela.....
The day has finally come, our first granddaughter arrrives! We are so blessed to have a grandson living close to us and now, to have a grandaughter too! It just can't get any better. We leave in about 6 hours to go see her for the first time. My prayer is that we will be the best grandparents we can possibly be to her and her BIG brother. We want to show Christ to them in the way we live our lives before them. I look forward to holding her and singing to her ( I love to sing ) and just wasting away hours enjoying the fact that our son and daughter-in-law have a new blessed addition to their already perfect family! Thank you Lord, for the gift of life. May we never forget that children are a gift from God! So, since God has given us a special gift today, I have one for you too. I made this several weeks ago and wanted to wait until today to post it on my blog. I bought her a little outfit for a shower gift and on that outfit was the saying " If the Tiara fits..." well I am sure it will. I plan on using this on something I make for her in the near future. I hope you can find a use for this.... and if the Tiara fits.....wear it!

Please, take time to answer the Poll on DSD
My friend Vicky at Digiscrapdepot was gracious enough to let me, a new designer, create the template for her July Starbucks Tumbler Challenge. I have had over 400 downloads for that template, which blows me away. I want to thank you if you downloaded it, for it really was the beginning of me breaking into creating these freebies. But, here is the deal. Only about 6 have entered the challenge over there at http://www.digiscrapdepot.com . She and I both want to continue next month with another challenge, but are a little stumped as to why not too many have entered the challenge. So, first of all, please enter if you want to. I really would like to see this thing move forward and second, and really most important, go over to DSD ( digiscrapdepot ) and go to the forums and respond to the poll. I would be grateful if you would do this. We want it to be something fun and that many will choose to do, so voice your opinion and we can go from there. If you want this template, I am going to repost the link below.
Here is the link reposted if you are interested:
"Be Patient, be patient, don't be in such a hurry"
OK now here is another piece of fruit that is hard for me to swallow sometimes. I want it and I want it now, is more my style. But, I know that this fruit is one, that if we can achieve it, is wonderful. Wouldn't it be nice to have more patience with your loved ones? I know for me it would be. Not only being more patient with others, but showing patience when waiting on the Lord. Again, I want it ( answers to prayers ) and I want them now! But, we know that love is patient. He (God) was patiently waiting for me to come to him, and I am forever grateful. I love the scripture from I Corinthians 13:4, that tell us that "Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant." This was one of the scriptures that was read at my mom's funeral. She was an example of this scripture. I have to tell you a funny, but true story. When I think of this, I remember something my husband has said about me. He would say, when we married, he hoped that I would be like my mom, BUT I am more like my dad! Let's just say, I am not always as patient and kind as I should, and could be. Again, I am working on it! He still loves me though. So as I patiently wait for tommorow, I will try to be more like you, mom. You gals will have an opportuinity to show some patience with me because you will have to wait a day or two for the rest of the fruits! Remember, practice makes perfect. So practice some patience today. Enjoy!Here is your Patience:
A little Princess is on her way!
I made this for my 1st granddaughter who will be arriving in the morning! Since I couldnt use her picture for the preview, I looked for the next in line for the crown, and that would be my 10 year old yorkie, Brighton. She wear's it well, don't you think? I will do a few more with the "diva" theme. Keep checking back to see what I have in my bag of goodies! I also want to thank each of you for your encouraging words. It really means a lot to me to hear how you are going to use some of my things. And to know that you are enjoying them is such a blessing to me. I will continue to do the word overlays in .png unless stated. So for the most part, you png'ers will get them also. Gonna be busy around here for the next few days so if I dont post as often you will understand why, right? Hugging and Kissing that sweet grand-baby! Grace and Blessing to you all.....TeriGrab it here:

My little piece of heaven....and "Hello Dolly"
I just wanted to share a little about where I have been the past few days. This is up by our house in in the hill country near Garner Park. I love the beauty of the hills and the cool spring water. There are all kinds of wildlife, axis deer, whitetail, hummingbirds, exotic animals,bats at night and...oh yeah, and people too! It has become a very popular place to vacation. People love to float the river on tubes and just hang out in the water. My brother-in-law developed a sub division out there called "the Ranch" and we love to swim there. That is where the pics of the river are taken. I just wanted to let you see another piece of my life. I actually bought this place when I closed my store ( I owned a retail boutique ) for 15 years. The house is special to me because I furnished it with things from my store. So, now on to Dolly. Hurricane Dolly hit land about 85 miles south of us. We are fine, lots of rain and wind, but overall not too eventful here. We have good friends who live in Rio Hondo and that is where the eye went over. They are fine but said no electricity, and i think at least 20 inches of rain so far! Thank the Lord,,we didnt get anything like that here because it would have ruined Tom's cotton crop. Anyway...look later on for your next goodie.
How about a little Love today?
" What the world needs now, is love, sweet love....." remember? Well it really is true. It is a fruit of the Spirit we all need more of. If we (I) could love others like Christ himself loves others, our homes would be far better off than they are today. Like I said a few days ago, yall are just getting to eavesdrop remember, so I am not pretending to "have arrived". Far from it. I am selfish, more than I want to admit, and don't always think of others before me. But, like I also mentioned, I am striving to grow. That is the key, desire plus action. Like exercising, it is not something we like to do, but it is a good thing to do. Do you have a friend, neighbor, boss, employee or child that needs to experience God's love? I bet you do. Today, try to see them as Christ sees them, and let Him, love Them, through You. Now, don't worry if you can't do this, because neither can I. Thats why we are gonna let Him do it! 2 MORE DAYS UNTIL MY GRANDAUGHTER ARRIVES! SO THAT MEANS A SPECAIL FREEBIE TOMMOROW!!!! Lot's of Love today, TeriGet over here and get some Love:

Pass me some more fruit, please. And a little goodie too!
How about a little Kindness this morning? I will take some for sure. Thinking about yesterdays post, I had a comment from a really nice lady who said, she likes to try to, instead of saying, "why me, Lord?" she tries to ask "HOW, Lord?" How can I use this for your glory! I love that. I thought about it several times yesterday. I am going to try to look at things like that. Thank you for sharing that with me, whoever you are! My Vacation overlay has been very popular, so for all you gals who go on holiday, this one is for you! I hope you like it! And just a little hint, this will not be the last time you see this. So, you will just have to guess what I have in mind with this for a few more days. I just want to say thanks to all of you who comment, it really is an encouragement! Have a day full of Kindness, and pass the fruit bowl to others! His, Teri

Fruit of the Spirit #4 and a challenge for us all!
"My brothers and sisters, be very happy when you are tested in different ways." James 1:2 Now, isnt that what you wanted to hear? Well, me neither. In fact, as I reflect on what I am going to blog on.....the Lord usually show me something I need to work on and you guys just get to eavesdrop on how God is speaking to me. So, yes, I need to learn how to, WHEN I AM TESTED in different way, to be very happy, or consider it pure joy. I have not arrived, I am sorry to say. But you know what, it is my desire to grow spiritally, so I know I am headed in the right direction. So today, yep, I said today, WHEN you ARE tested, think about me, say a prayer for us both and keep your eyes on the Lord. Together, we are gonna grow.
Step right up and get your JOY here:
