♥Nothing New Under The Sun♥

Now that sounds like a good title.........for whatever reason that came to me. Truely there is nothing new under the sun...........God has seen it all. Things and places and people might come in different sizes, shapes, labels, coverings, colors, brands, catch words, phrases, etc. But, nothing is new under the sun.

Looking back on history, satan is always standing at the door ready to take over...............BUT, GOD............has been there to turn him away, where did satan get the brainy idea he could be like GOD and take over this universe????.......honestly, there is nothing new under the Sun. Well, I don't know where I am going with this..........just rambling on. When I look at current events and see the things taking place I have to just sit back in astonishment....the stage has/is being set throughout history to this very day...........for the great takeover of satan and his regeim.............but how can that be, cause GOD will have the last laugh.....hooray, I am so glad that the outcome will for GODS GLORY!!!! Man can do all he wants to take over, BUT, GOD will show his power and glory in the end.

So this is my confidence in knowing, that in the end it's not what you know, but WHO you know and I prefer to know Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and to know I am going to heaven. What better insurance than that, and it is FREE, not going to be taken out of your paycheck, or will the price go up because of inflation or go down because of recession. Nope, good for a life time and into eternity. Aflak can't even do as well as that.

Well I guess I better get off that subject............I made some new cards and earrings for St. Patrick's Day March 17th. Following is a sampling. Wow, that took a long time to get the picture on this blog. Well, here goes another one. Do you know how long that took to put the orange card up...............good grief........I started at 1:09 and it is now 1:27............18 minutes to put up one picture.........I guess I will not do another one for now.................takes tooooooooooo long!

I will close this blog for the day, as I have to start organizing my taxes so I can take them in next week. Hopefully we will get some money back, we pay enough taxes out, something should come back. You all have a good day and enjoy the weather............should be getting better...........Spring is right around the corner.

WOW.......Featured on Treasury West!!!

Okay, it has been awhile since I last posted in this blog........sorry! I tend to gravitate to http://www.cards4ubylouise.blogspot.com/ more than I do to this blog for some reason. Been very busy this past month, working, making cards, making cookies, decorating, keeping warm, etc, etc. Oh well, such is life in the big city and little hamlets.

Hey, for the first time ever, I was featured on 'Treasury West' I sure was surprised. Well, here is the shot of the treasury. There, top row, left side of the treasury, is my card.

Pretty exciting I tell ya...................>

Just now showing off the treasury. Just a little slow. Kinda bummed out that my Christmas cards did not sell via my Etsy store. But did sell some Christmas cards to a trucker friend of my husbands. Now I should be able to get my CUTTLEBUG, and make some new kinds, which should be fun.

What else is going on....mmmmm...lets see???? Been pretty busy working my merchandising job. For a part time job they sure keep me busy staying in Appleton, which is very fine with me....when the gas prices were up to $4 it sure was tuff to keep the tank even 1/2 full and when I am criss-crossing across the town of Appleton and into Kaukauna, makes for an expensive job. We still owe $1200 on this car for work done by the service station.........yikes and the car still has a few other flaws........hope it lasts till Jesus returns.

Anyways, gas prices have been pretty good, sitting at $1.71 as of yesterday. Wondering what will happen when Obama takes office where the gas prices will go?????? I am not a Democrat and did not vote for Obama, soooooo we will see where this world goes. I know one thing, when King Jesus comes back to rule this world, things will be just as it should be. PERFECT!!

January begins my Social Security............YAY, RAH, RAH, can hardly wait!!! WE are going out for a steak dinner......what a relief! I do plan on keeping on working as a merchandiser, that will keep me active, and if I could sell some more cards every now and then that would be great too!

Well, I am going to wrap this post up for now, if I don't get back before the new year.......Have a wonderful Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year......2009......WOW! Who would have thought we would make it this far before the return of Jesus........well keep your eyes towards the east cause you just might see his soon return!

Have a great day..........Louise

5th Treasury

Okay........here is my 5th treasury..........Sunrise and Sunsets...........hold on, I am going to try something..........going to copy and paste from my other blog the things I said. Here goes.............

Here is my newest treasury that I got last Sunday, late, very late (1am) in the evening (morning). I love sunsets and sunrises. There is such a sence of peacefulness in the colors brushed across the sky. Then to think how big and how hot that sun is, that we are not scorched and burned alive. The One who created this universe sure did a GOOD JOB.........it's hard to believe in the big bang theory!

I love fall also, the crispness of the mornings, the trees turning their beautiful colors.......every color you can possibly think of is used. How could one not believe there is a God who created this World? I would rather believe there is a God, then not believe there is a God........there is safty in believing and knowing that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and of this world and the world to come. And it was all done at the Cross and through the blood of Jesus, once and for all.......whosoever will, will never die.

You have a great day in the LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!

LeArNiNg......lEaRnInG......=LEARNING

Well, I am learning, there is always something new to learn, learning is what we are here for, it is said that once you think you know it all, what else is there to do but die. Well, I am not ready to die yet so I guess I just will keep on'a learning.

Here's what I learned tonight........................>
Yep, I learned how to take a picture of my store then put it in "paint" then fiddled around and cut and pasted and wala here is what I got. These are the directions I used........Click ctrl and print scree button, then open paint, then click ctrl and V (view) then save as (jpeg). To get just the pictures I cut then pasted, back into paint and renamed again in jpeg..........will have to try it again to see if it works then write it down................ramble, ramble, ramble.

My first two cards are new to the store, "I love Paris" although I have never been there and my "Dried Pansies" happy Birthday cards. I have been really happy with my store, and it's been fun, I would like to see more things sold, not sure what the hold up is. Prices are right in line with most other card stores, guess the right person has not come along yet.

I am going to start selling some of my stamps, a few here and and a few there.......maybe they will be a hot item. Two stamps for the price of one, most of my stamps will be 1/2 price, and there is very little use and they are still in good shape.

Will be adding a few more earrings and a few bracelets, possibly as sets...........lol.........that's if I make them and not want to wear them. I really admire so many of the Etsy jewelery artists, they make such beautiful jewelery PLUS they are able to sell 100's of pieces.........that's the trick you know, to keep your stuff before the customer........using eye catching photography, bright colors, yep...........

Well, I think I will close this blog for today, been rambling on like as if someone will really read this..............so you take care and take JESUS!!!!!!
