Today I’m thirty years old. I feel that I should have some deep meaningful reflection of my life over the past 30 years but alas I don’t really. If I find some deep reflections, I’ll be sure to share them with you. For now though, I’d like to share a gift.
I kind of love gifts. Both the giving and the receiving. As I mentioned in my post about my clean island, I was given an amazing gift this year for the big 3-0. My new iPad and speaker are pretty great. I’m afraid that I can’t share something quite that amazing with you so instead I’m going to share a few things made from the work of my hands. Full of love from me to you. Well, only one you because I only have enough for one. But lots of love for all of you.
There’s an acorn garland made from acorns collected by the girls and I. It’s a mix of real acorns and felted wool…super cute. Then there are hand dipped beeswax candle tapers. And lastly, my new favorite scented beeswax melters which are a lovely blend of essential oils in beeswax; I’m calling this one a Christmas blend (think cinnamon, orange, clove and nutmeg).
So leave a comment (I love comments, they’re like gifts to me), tell your friends, and tomorrow I’ll do a randomly selected draw.
I’ve been reading your blog for hours, so enjoying your stories of your girls and your life on the farm. It started by trying to find the beeswax melters which I saw on pinterest.
But when I clicked on the link the page wasn’t there any more. Do you have a way to send me the recipe? I read backwards from 2017-2014 and was enjoying myself so much I almost forgot what started the process until I came upon this specific post.
I live in Florida and run a creative arts studio. (By the way Frog and Toad is one of my favorite books!) I was fascinated by the forest kindergarten idea and am glad you are teaching the girls to sew. I teach girls too, sewing and piano. Look forward to hearing from you:) Thanks also for your missionary story about the pilot. I love the Lord and am intrigued by your family.
