It has been a while

Hello again lovelies! It has been a while so I decided to just MAKE SOME TIME to throw some photos on my blog and say hello.

"Hello." :)
This 1st pic is just me playing with a new app called
Cameran Collage. I saw the adorable art floating around FB (sorry no credit was listed), but I changed it up a bit with the tea tag and references (of course!). She has brown hair like me, so, yeah.... loved her!

Next a little fun I had participating in a Valentine Exchange group through FB. Here are my cards.

And here are the cards I received.

I also tried my hand at decorating store bought madelines with white chocolate and sprinkles and M&M candy to resemble an ice-cream sunday. I even sent some to a dear friend in Colorado.

Also on Valentines Day, I offered to host a tea for my daughter and her school mates. She requested a rustic garden tea (very "her"). I believe it was the first time any of the girls had ever been to tea (except, of course my daughter who has been going since she turned 2!) I served seven (yes, I am insane) sandwiches, chai flavored scones with my special crem fraiche & fruit, and a simple salad of spinach, strawberries & finely diced cauliflower plus Green & White Peach Tea from Celestial Seasonings. The girls really loved the tea and it is such a refreshing blend. Breezes blew, vintage music played, prayers were said, and fellowship was shared.

Have been enjoying a few walks around the neighborhood...

and always have my camera phone handy!

This was a walk followed by my everything-but-the-kitchen-sink smoothie!

I caught the stomach flu, so the walks took a pause... but then...

today was a new day, with a new and early morning walk. It was bliss as I played praise and worship music on my phone.

followed by, ahem, tea and toast (hee-hee).

This is an awesome short video of a visit to the UK where we can see teawares actually being made. I love how happy the workers are.
What an interesting job!

Praying you have a lovely weekend

filled with lovely moments

and much gratitude for

the Father.

Hugs and a cup of tea,

AGE OLD QUESTION WHICH CAME 1ST?

Which Came 1st?

The Chicken or the Egg?

As a woman of faith, I have long known the answer to this question, but since this is the week of focusing on eggs (AND CHRIST), I thought I would share with anyone who has pondered this.

[Gen 1:19-21 KJV] "And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good."

Ok, so this question did not JUST pop into my head today. In fact, I was not planning to post today, but it really bothered this morning when I read on a Christian fiction author's newsletter the following:

"According to Canadian researchers, the egg came first. The reason? Dinosaurs were laying eggs and building nests long before birds (or chickens) evolved. So now you know." (underline for emphasis)

What I know is God's Word is unfailing, unchanging and always true. I emailed her in love and pray my words and scripture references are well-received. If you would kindly pray with me, I would appreciate it. Standing firm in our faith is not always easy, but it does help to have a good grasp on the scriptures (speaking to myself here), and these tiny arguments are the kind that help our children. Don't you think?

I pray you are all blessed this Holy week.

In Christ,

Heather Elizabeth
