I was able to participate in a fun gift box exchange called the
Each month is a different theme
and for the month of January it was
Resolutions.
Amanda had me and she was so kind and encouraging in her emails.
I had a lot of fun answering her questions as she got to know me.
She of course wanted to know if I had any New Year's resolutions
and this is what I told her....
My number one desire and goal for the New Year
is to grow closer to the Lord.
I want to be consumed with Him,
spend time with Him each day and live my life for His honor and glory.
A few of my other goals for the New Year would be to
participate in a craft fair during the holidays.
Catch up on my son's scrapbook - I am 2 years behind!
And last but not least...
I am a big sweet eater - I love desserts :)
I would love to be diligent in eating healthier foods.
So this is what sweet Amanda sent me :)
The first pictures are of a beautiful journal.
Since one of my resolutions for the year is to grow closer to God
she thought this would be a great way to write down devotions, questions, quotes, etc.
What a brilliant idea and I will enjoy using it.
She also wrote in the front of the book my favorite quote by Elisabeth Elliot
and then she scattered quotes from my favorite authors though-out the note book.
She is certainly very thoughtful and creative!
Amanda knows I love anything vintage so she lovingly made some vintage rosettes
that I will enjoy using for crafts.
And she found this spectacular fabric at a vintage antique store.
Isn't it lovely?!
It Is Well With My Soul is my ultimate favorite song
and Amanda took note of that.
She framed the lyrics in this pretty vintage frame
and the rose paper is perfect since I love roses!
This song is also a favorite of Amanda's :)
The Lara Bar is for my sweet tooth since it's a great all-natural snack.
And the scrap booking stuff is for my son's scrapbook that I
need will finish this year :)
Amanda greatly spoiled me and I am thrilled with her delightful gifts.
This was my first time participating in the Cara Box Exchange
and this box will be one I cherish and always remember.
Thank you so much Amanda!
I am grateful for all that you did for me :)
I had such a fun time getting to know her.
She has been a great blessing to me
and I appreciate her deep love for the Lord.
