In doing my project for today, I had the fun of combining two challenges – “blessings” from Inspiration Avenue and “numbers” from Opus Gluei.
Counting My Blessings
I started with a wooden box and used a decoupage mix to adhere various numbers I clipped from some scrapbook paper out of my stash. I inserted a piece of Styrofoam into the box, coming about halfway up. I then topped it off with some coffee beans from our trip to Tanzania.
The picture holders are hand-coiled from some 20g steel wire… except for the red heart; that was from the bouquet Himself sent me for Valentines.
The photos are the largest blessings in my life. The top one represents Himself and my faith in Jesus. Lower and encircling that are three photos of my family. Then my home is on the left. To the far right is a photo that represents the travel I’ve been blessed to do (that photo was taken on St Andrews golf course in Scotland). And the final photo is me with the babies… becoming an Auntie is a wonderful blessing.
That was a wonderfully creative way to create an image about your special blessings.
