A Grateful Heart ... free fall design

Well we are on countdown week till Thanksgiving ... 

I can't believe Thanksgiving is already here .. it just seems a short while back I was watching fireworks shooting into the night sky and bursting into beautiful color..

And..

Here we are but a few months later and the weather has cooled and the leaves have changed to beautiful fall colors and many have drifted on the fall breeze to the earth below preparing for a long winters nap... 

Well we're not quite to winter yet .. although I hear some of you in the higher elevations of the west and the east coast may have a beautiful blanket of white headed your way pretty soon. 

I personally think I would really enjoy a white Thanksgiving this year .. although  I don't think there's any chance of that happening .. we are having an unusually warm fall here in the Ozarks .. I think today and tomorrow we are looking at breaking records today was 78 degrees here ! Looks like that's about to change Saturday much cooler temps are on the way Hooray !

Well now that we've talked of the weather...

I wanted to offer up a sweet little Thanksgiving Design I created this week. Please feel free to use it for your personal use. Print it out and make a cute poster .. or make some charming ornaments .. whatever you would like or just share on your blog or pinterest page whatever makes your heart happy...

And lets not forget to "Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart ..."

"Give thanks with a Grateful Heart"  ..is one of my favorite sayings I guess that's because it refers to so many scriptures in the Bible .. and a favorite praise song of mine that we sang in church..

Psalm 100:4, ESV Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!

Psalm 107:1, ESV Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!

 And these are the lyrics to the praise song I loved singing so very much ..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks unto the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given
Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong,"
Let the poor say, "I am rich,"
Because of what
the Lord has done for us.

Give thanks
Give thanks

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

So do you all have any fun Thanksgiving traditions ... ? One of my family members who has hosted Thanksgiving has a wonderful tradition. They purchased a basic tablecloth many years ago .. and each Thanksgiving whomever is at their table signs the cloth with something they are thankful for as well they have traced the hands of the kids on the tablecloth too. What a fun memory for the kids to look back on .. and to see what they were thankful for and how the size of their hand has grown throughout the years. Traditions are a beautiful thing no matter if you are just on your own or there is 2 or 3 or a dozen gathered for Thanksgiving . My parents and I celebrate Thanksgiving each year just the 3 of us ..by having our traditional favorite Thanksgiving foods .. and then we at some point in the evening sit and go through the Samaritan's Purse Gift Catalog and choose gifts for families in need.  To me that's the best part of Thanksgiving ..  knowing we are able to be bring joy to someone else that they too might take part in having a grateful heart.

 

 

I am so very grateful for all the Lord has done for me ..  It's always easy to be thankful in the good times .. but much harder to be thankful in the tough times .. but from experience I have learned I will thank him and praise him all the time .. 

Wishing you all a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving 

Until next time ..

2nd Round of Vintage Valentines ~ Free Printables Clip Art

 

Well another Beautiful Monday Morning has rolled around once again here at the farmhouse. I hope you all had a beautiful weekend ..

 

I spent 12 hours on Saturday taking a Photography Class. Learning how to get out of "Auto" mode and into manual mode. I had a wonderful day .. Learned so much and can't wait to start applying all I have learned to my photos .. Well needless to say that long of a day and all that learning really tuckered me out so Yesterday I just spent the day resting and playing with Flossie.

 

 Looks like all of you in the South and East are in for quite storm ... well while you are whittling away your hours waiting for the storm to pass this is the perfect time to jump right in and get some cute Valentine projects made.

 

Well we are on the countdown to another fun Holiday ... "Valentines"...  I remember when I was a little girl I loved going to the store with my mom and picking out a pack of valentines. In my era they came wrapped in a little thin cardboard box wrapped in a decorative cellophane outer. I still actually have many that were given to me. In one class my teacher had us make large heart pockets out of construction paper and pasted them together so we had a place to keep all the valentines we were given in exchange in class ..  I still have that heart and all the valentines in it .. Abbey was always such a great mom and allowed me to keep many of the things I made in school. Today they are all tucked away in a trunk .. beautiful memories that I love to cherish.

 

 

 

So today here are 4 more Valentines that I found in our collection that I thought were just charming .. and I think these would be so great mixed with the other 4 I offered last week HERE ... for making valentine banners .. Print and cut them out and punch holes in each side and string them with some pretty ribbon or bakers twine ..  Or how about some simple placemats .. Print them on cardstock cut them out .. and then paste them into the center of a piece of construction paper or one of those paper doily placemats you can pick up at Wal-Mart etc.  There are so many ways to decorate with Vintage Valentines just let your imagination Soar ...

Well it's another beautiful day here at the farmhouse .. ready to kick off a full day's work ..

 

Since we are a little less than a month away from Valentines Day .. I thought this was the perfect time to offer you all a few of our Vintage Valentines..

 

As I was going through the manila envelope marked Valentines yesterday ..I was shocked at how many we had .. it's been several years since I have peeked in that envelope ... so I'm excited to have these 4 to offer and more to come ..

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy !

Free Printable ~ Dress Form, Mannequin "How To Look Your Best:

 

 

So are Dress Forms still Popular ? I know for a few years now they have been all the rage .. ! But I wondered if the fire for them is still burning or has slowed down ?

 

I  fell in love with them the last few years and can count five that I have sitting here at the farmhouse that I use either at markets , or in photos for the shop , or just because I enjoy looking at them.

 

So have you all collected dress forms ?

 

I found this cute vintage Dress Form Card... I think it was probably an advertisement. I have had this saved away in my scans for several years now. I think I once used a copy of it on a cute decoupage project that I made. It's been a while and the brains a bit foggy on exactly what the project was ..LOL !

 

Anyhow it's now yours for the using and the enjoying.

 

 

 

I have also included it on the "Free Printables" page in Black and white and with the background removed and made it aqua blue for your pleasure !

 

 

This would make such a charming Pillow front wouldn't it ..

 

Enjoy !

Free Printables ~ Violets Scripture Card

 

 

Hi Everyone .. Well it's been quite a week here in the United States ..and Abbey and I would Like to say our Prayers are with all those in Boston and now in Waco TX,  Sometimes as individuals we feel or even say .. "All we can do is Pray" .. Prayer is one of our most powerful tools .. so it's not just "all we can do"  ..it is without doubt one of the most important things we can do. It's such a blessing to know that there are people near these situations full of schooling and wisdom to help those who are hurt or in need ..and it's a blessing to know that for those of us around the world that cannot be there to help physically we have prayer.

 

***************

 

This week we are offering up as a free printable this beautiful Violets Scripture Card.

 

I love these old scripture cards... they are truly one of my favorite ephemera collections we have.

 

Each scripture card has a lovely bouquet of flowers or depicts a scene of birds or a house in the country etc and has a scripture from the Bible inserted somewhere on the card.

 

Be it My Bible, My Devotional, a Scripture Card such as this one .. Or the Beautiful Stairwell walls in our house that hold Framed  Antique Samplers with sayings such as Amazing Grace ~ It is Well With My Soul ~ or the decorative Iron crosses that hang with them .. it truly soothes my soul and reminds me that my hope is not in what is here on earth which is fleeting but my hope is in Christ and my eternity with him. This life rather it be short or long ... what matters in the end is how it was lived .

 

This would be beautiful framed ...Or couldn't you see this image added to the fronts of sweet little sachets filled with Lavender ..

 

I also have included this image changed into Sepia ... and I also did a little aging job to this original for your pleasure...You can find both the additional ones on our "Free Printables" page.

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy !
