{I ♥ Faces} Week 29 – On The Beach

I love taking pics at the beach, so I have tons of beach pics. I really had a hard time deciding. This pic is from Alex’s first trip to the beach. This was off the Georgia coast on Cumberland Island.

Even more interesting…this was taken with a point and shoot camera!

The Shack {the book}

I just read finished finally reading The Shack. If you have not read the book, I would highly recommend it. I don’t want to discuss the book too much, because I don’t want to give anything away. I will say that I really took to heart the biblical teachings and was able to relate them to my own life.

As I was reading I found some quotes that I liked. Here they are:

When all you can see is your pain, perhaps you lose sight of me? -p.96

Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown. – Author Unknown -p.115

Do you think humans were designed to live in the present or the past or the future? -p. 141

You love each person differently because of who they are and the uniqueness that they draw out of you. -p. 213

AFTER reading the book I would suggest checking out theshackbook.com and also the author’s website called Wind Rumors. Do not go to these sites until after you have finished the book!

Here’s my fixed photo. I played around with this picture and didn’t like anything I came up with. Then I decided to see what would happen when I played around with the black/white adjustments in Photoshop and this is what I came up with.

Children’s Drawer Labels {Free Printables}

Children's Drawer Labels {Free Printables}

IMG_6914.JPG

I made some labels for Alex’s clothing chest of drawers. I did this with TV Boy’s drawers awhile back and decided make some new ones for him. I’ve actually made a couple different sets both in black & white and color. I printed out the labels, cut them out, and used packing tape over the entire label to secure them and make sure they don’t get torn with everyday use. I used the template Avery 5376 (Business Cards) in Word with borders. You could even use the actual business cards that come ready perforated to save some time.

The first set I made was for Alex who will be learning to read. He needs a font that is very clear so he can easily read the letters.

I did some with a little fancier, cuter fonts for the older kids. All come in a black & white, which you could print on colored paper as you see in my examples.

All downloads are in PDF format. If you would like the word .doc file just let me know and I’ll be glad to email those to you.
