Tarps and flying stickers

My kitchen is a flurry of a craft zone this evening. I have been hard at work raising money for Haiti by panting canvases. I will add some of the ones I've completed. I am asking for a donation of $10 and in return, you get a canvas size of your choice designed by me with whatever quote, verse, etc you prefer. The amount of people ready to support the cause is STAGGERING! So, so thrilling. I love to do this for those in need and to give personal gifts to my dear friends. It is a fun and completely win-win for me.

In the process however, I am head to toe in paint, much to large tarps, and STICKERS. Oh the organization must kick in because the amount of stickers I have and half used sheets, and unused sheets, and unopened sheets and almost empty sheets is... out of control. Oy!

It is almost two a.m. My days fly and are so jam-packed. The good news is, I am going to Chico this weekend, and so a) this week will fly by and I will be picked up by my lovely roommate! and b) I will enjoy a nice (somewhat relaxing) vacation. Ahh I am so looking forward to it.

To all of you accepting prayer requests, I have a couple!

+ Cash is a little boy who is 16 mo. old. One of my dear friends is his nanny, and Cash and his family live in Seattle. The doctors have just found a tumor at the bottom of Cash's neck, and they are doing extensive tests to see the severity. Please keep Cash and his family in your prayers. Let's do our best to support the little man in his tough fight, and place him and his family in a cradle of love!

+ I am starting a children Bible Study this Wednesday, February 10th. I am SO thrilled to get started and I would love it if you have a youngster that would like to join. We will begin with dinner and then jump into crafts, stories and songs. We will be together for a little over an hour and I am so excited. Email me with questions if you are interested (b_jones720@hotmail.com)
Keep this little group in your prayers as right now we will be beginning with two WONDERFUL children. Thank you!

All my love and blessings to you,
Bri

Already Wednesday?

WOW! I can't believe that it is half way through the week...where does the time go?

Tucking two of the little cherubs I babysit into bed tonight reminded me how blessed I am. They are so beautiful and growing so fast! The youngest was six months old when I met her. Now she is four and a half. I have absolutely no idea where those four years went, but getting to be a part of such influential years is such a treat and blessing.

While on the kid topic, Lauren and I did go to the Disney Rockin' Road Show this weekend with success. Pictures are on my facebook, but I will have to add some here. It was a blast. Walking into the arena she said, "Oh Brianna, this is my best day ever!!" Done. All worth it. She was fabulous and SO excited through out. Okay, even I was excited through out! It was really a blast and such a gift to be able to take her.

I have had a really great and exciting project put on my heart. Some of you know, I am painting cavases for Haiti! I just paint away a vision that someone has for me. Whether it's a verse, or a favorite quote, or line from a song. I can also do people's names, etc. I ask for a donation of $10, whether the piece is small or big it doesn't matter. All of my donations, every penny, goes to a disaster relief organization to help those in Haiti. It has been so fun and I have new requests each day! If any of you are interested, I would love to post some pictures here and feel free to contact me.

Blessings to each of you as the weekend is now approaching.
Enjoy Super Bowl Sunday as well (as the Saints... go marching in....oh the Saints go marching in...)
