From Trash to Treasure Pallet Sign

I love a good DIY! I had this pile of scrap ends from a pallet project I made. And it just so happens I was needing to make a pallet sign for an upcoming event.

I made sure the wood was all cut to the same size (these we're all 18inches). I then fitted them together with screws and wood glue.

Once the glue was dry I sanded. I love the color difference of the scrap wood and rough edges.

I then painted the white heart...

... the word "love"...

...and added the arrow.

The wood is just gorgeous!

This beauty will be used as a guest book of sorts for a special, close to the heart event that is coming up... I don't want to spill the beans as to what it is but for those of you who know our family I'm sure have an idea.

5 Ways to stay Motivated this Week

Motivation: the state or condition of being motivated or having a strong reason to act or accomplish something.

Do you ever have a hard time staying "motivated"? I've heard that phrase several times through my life in all different situations. Motivation is something that can be part of all walks of life short term as well as long term. To conquer a small task to taking on a big week.

5 Ways to Stay Motivated this Week

1. Mission Focused Monday: Each Monday morning set 20 minutes aside to reflect on what your tasks at hand are for the week. What you want to accomplish. Write them down on paper so you have a firm vision.

2. Weekly Quote: Find a quote to use as your screen saver or write on an index card that you can keep close to you that will inspire you throughout the week.

3. Be Social: Share your goals with your spouse, friend, business partner that will help to encourage you and hold you accountable to accomplishing your goal.

4. Move it: Have you ever heard a body at rest tends to stay at rest but a body in motion stays in motion? This is true! Move that body - stay in motion and you'll be much more motivated to physically and mentally stay motivated.

5. Turn up the Tunes: Music is very uplifting and motivating. Think of painting a room, it's much more fun and easier to finish the job if you have some good tunes to listen to.

Here's to Staying Motivated!

Spring White Barn Treasures Sale

I had so much fun at the Spring White Barn Treasures Sale! Good friends, good food, perfect venue!

It's so fun to create with my hands and build, re-purpose and make things beautiful again. Below are a few of the things I created along with the fun Sugar Scrub the girls made.

Every time I create something I have this verse in mind...

"...whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God".
He has given me this gift and I chose to use it to glorify Him!

Build Up

Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. - See more at: http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Building#sthash.NEzi6FZk.dpuf

This scripture speaks to me...

Therefore encourage one another and build up one another,

just as you are also doing.

1 Thessalonians 5:11

Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. - See more at: http://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Building#sthash.NEzi6FZk.dpuf

I find peace and fulfillment out of building and creating. The above scripture reminds me that just as I am doing, I can teach my kids to do and through it I will be helping to encourage and build them up in the small and big tasks.
