"WE ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP." ~ Ephesians 2:10
Every person subjected to the endless wear and tear of life develops faults and cracks in their life. In God's hands, however, those stresses and changes become His tools for shaping our life for His purpose. As our lives are yielded to and shaped by Him, He creates within us the ability to resonate His presence.
The varied and often difficult experiences of life, given to God, are how He transforms each individual into something beautiful. The Holy Spirit can work wonders on the rough edges of our stubborn wills and hard hearts, conforming them to His own will.
Trust Him to take all that happens to you - both good and bad- and make you stronger and wiser, using you in His great plan. (Excerpts taken from "Tea Time with God."}

I stopped in this past week to visit her and was pleasantly surprised. She made these adorable

As you can see, the dainty roses which are sprinkled all over her frock are 
She gracefully stands with a tiny foot peeking out from beneath her frock. She appears to be dancing and she looks so elegant. Thank you Mum!
A sweet footed birdie soap dish.
...complete with a wonderful bar of soap.
And a little cherub sitting among the ivy.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you all have a very pleasant day.

This is where I put my fairy door; in a little space beside the plant stand in the living room where I wanted to add just a wee bit of whimsy. It is sure to spark some conversation and imagination! I so enjoy the element of surprise, don't you?
I also received some lovely birthday cards including these two; one from my hubby; it's 
And another 
Clouds beneath the plane.
Their doggy Skye, part pit bull, is curled up in her chair which is in front of the bay window so she can keep an eye on things. And she does!!
Baby Zachary in his box. At sixteen months, he has his own drawer in the kitchen where he keeps some of his toys and the odd kitchen utensil, like this potato masher. He pretty much runs the place; he and Skye. Nanny taught him several things while visiting; he can say 'clock' and knows to point to it; among other things.
The Olympic rings below turn colour when night falls.

This is Burnaby, not far from Vancouver. I love the majestic look of the mountains towering above the city. It's quite a sight to those of us who reside on little old Prince Edward Island where there are no mountains at all.
This is spectacular Mount Baker! It sits in the state of Washington which is just across from White Rock, an exclusive seaside area which we drove through after filling our tummies at Ihop.
The entrance to the Suspension Bridge.
The Bridge crosses over the Capilano River which we didn't cross because there were too many of us, and at $30 a head, it was rather expensive. I don't think Zachary would have appreciated it very much. Besides, I wasn't going to cross it anyway! I like my feet on the ground, thank you very much!
Some family photos.
A picture of my son and me. As you can see by his hat, he is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan! 
Hubby accidently cut the head off our grandson in this one, but other than that, I thought it was a pretty good shot of them.
Everyone is dressed lightly except for me. I like my parka and gloves this time of year. Even Vancouver I found cool and damp.
Uh-oh, someone's starting to get fussy! Ok, enough pictures, already!
Cypress Falls. All along the mountain side there were little water falls. This one is much bigger.
