You know phone calls in the night are never good.
We got a call at 2:30 am, my husband's best friend had
just passed away and they wanted him to come. Its been a long day
but not sleepy yet so thought I would share last weekends things.


Last Saturday I spoke at a little mini day retreat up in the Hualapai Mts.
It was a glorious day, storm clouds off and on with some thunder,
a few sprinkles and a little breeze in the pines. Wonderful
respite from the hot desert. We set
up at a camp site on the mountain and looking over the valley.
We had a wonderful time in the Word, prayer and
fellowship and of course lunch. Pastor's wife asked me to
make up a little take home bible study booklet.I
water colored the front, stamped some flowers
and added the title cut out with Spellbinders,
made a couple little flowers for each and then
stapled it together like a regular book and tied
each one with some fibers.


I also made a booklet with a poem, the scriptures I
was speaking about and a few other encouraging items.
These were decorated with a punched edge and tied
closed at the top. Used a Spellbinder to cut the title and
decorated with a flower. The bottom half of each
front was also embossed. I also made up bookmarks
with a variety of scriptures and

designs for each lady. So in all I made 50 books and 25
bookmarks. Doesn't look like much but it was a lot of work
as there were 21 pages between both booklets plus covers .

Pastor's wife, myself and our new Youth
Pastor's wife stayed and hiked up to the top of the mountain

and enjoyed the fabulous view then went down the Mt
to the lodge and spent a little time showing Michelle
around then back down the Mt and home again.
