Life goes on...now that SAF is over!

Four years ago Linda and I went to  Medjugorje, Croatia

with a group of pilgrims, many from my parish.

So every summer when she is down here, we host a luncheon and renew our friendships and catch up.

We have always given a way a little token gift that we make of course!

Last year, after doing the SAF we had plenty of Shrinky Dinks left over, so we die cut some crosses, colored them with copics and then watched them shrink up!

We made bookmarks with a bible verse and added the cross to it,

the ladies loved it!

 

This year when we were brainstorming what to make for them,

we came up with the idea to use an MIM project from earlier this year.  We went to a Dollar store and found notepads for $1.

 

We went to town and each designed a new cover for our notepads:

You can guess that Linda made hers with butterflies!!

I love the "Friends Forever" stamp from SSS!

I think when you travel to a foreign country with like minded people, experiencing the mystery and

awesomeness of people who love the Lord and our Blessed Mary it binds you for a lifetime.

That experience was definitely one that will always be the trip of a lifetime for me and it enriched my relationship with Our Lord.

I chose to use the Beautiful Brushstrokes from PTI.

And because the sentiment reminds me of the bible verse:

"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Psalm 37:4

and to remember who gave us this day we used this one from the same stamp set!

I think the ladies will love keeping this on their desk and using it every single day!

 

Heart Hugs!
