Send someone a note to say hello with a cool stamp

Hello everyone! I wanted to share something with all of you.  Next time you send a letter in the mail - that is if you still do that sort of thing....:)  Seems like everyone only emails or texts anymore.  Anyway, why not send a photo stamp instead of the boring old stamps everyone else has.  Take that favorite photo and make a stamp - it's very inexpensive and so much fun.  You can either do that on my Zazzle shop or just click on the cute baby stamp logo below and have some fun.  On my zazzle shop you can create all sorts of personalized items such as, a special "mouse" pad for that special person who is on the computer all day.  Or, you can create a cute personalized mug, t-shirt, poster, even an I-Pod cover, the possibilities are endless.  You can even create personalized tennis shoes - yes you heard me correct - amazing.  So have some fun creating unique and special gifts today.




My favorite verse today is Psalm 33:6 which says:

"The Lord merely spoke and the heavens were created.  He breathed the word and all the stars were born".



He is all around us, all we have to do is take the time to look and enjoy his creations! I do hope that your day is filled with the Lord's presence and he is with you in all that you do - Blessings to you!

Spring is in the air here on Whidbey Island

Ok so it is still pretty chilly here in Oak Harbor now, but the sun is shining and believe me that is a very welcome site! We have had so much rain in the past few weeks and not to mention the snow.  We had about 9" here a few weeks ago.  So all of that is behind us now and we can look forward to spring - yahoo!  Which brings me to my newest hub on hubpages "Springtime is tulips time".  If any of you have ever visited the Skagit Valley Tulip fields - you know what I am talking about.  They are simply amazing.  Each year the tulip festival has more and more activities for children and adults alike.  So in this hub I captured a few of my favorite photos of those very beautiful tulips that I wanted to share with you - possibly to entice you to go there yourself.  So happy Spring everyone and enjoy yourself at whatever the Lord is leading you to do.  But remember take time to stop and see those tulips along the way - you will be so glad that you did, and don't forget the camera. Blessings to you!

During trials remember we have Jesus!

I read a very good hub this morning that I felt I should share with anyone who is going through some tough times.  Let's face it this world is not in very good shape right now.  This hub explains in great detail how the enemy - Satan can have strongholds on us when we believe the "bad" things and not focus on the word of God.  So my prayers are that it will give you hope and inspire you to keep on reading God's amazing word and believing it in your every day life.  Blessings to you! Here is the link to the hub.

10 Valentines Day gift ideas and tips

10 Valentines Day gift ideas and tips

Greetings everyone, since Valentines Day is just around the corner I thought this would be a great time to remind everyone that the people we love need to be told just that “I Love You” from time to time.  Well they made this special day to do just that, but in creative and unusual ways to spice up the relationship.

Tip #1:  Leave small post it notes on the fridge or on the mirror where your significant other will see them.  Get creative and funny if you want to with the messages, they will get a giggle and feel very special.

Tip #2:  Plan a special outing, whatever you both like to do, whether it’s hiking,  have a special picnic with wine and take out, make it easy and fun and not a lot of preparation involved for you to have a special day together.  Toss some ideas around in your mind and then talk it over with him or her.

Tip #3:  If your loved one likes a good meal then prepare a special meal for him or her and include both foods you and him love, dress up in a sexy outfit if you have one. He will love it. Free Shipping on Healthy and delicious meals at MagicKitchen.com

Tip #4:  Bring her flowers or a gift that says how much you care, it can be just one rose but when you give it to her with a smile and let her know how much she means to you well that’s all this gal will need, plus a kiss of course. Or why not a gift that is personalized - make it extra special at Personalization Mall. Show them how much you care with a gift made just for them. Shop now at PersonalizationMall.com Personalized Wedding and Anniversary Gifts from PersonalizationMall.com -Free Personalization and Fast Shipping!

Tip #5:  Take her to her favorite movie and then dinner for the evening – just the two of you, leave the worries of everything else behind when you are spending time with her so she feels she has all your attention.  The same goes for women, make him feel he is the only person in the world right at that moment.

Tip #6:  Valentines gifts doesn’t have to cost anything, you can get creative and make a beautiful card.  Add a special note to the card with a special treat they will be getting as part of their gift like for instance,  a long soothing massage after dinner or any other activity you both will enjoy.  You can really get your creative juices flowing at this point and think of ways to show your love for that other person in ways only you both can understand and enjoy.

Tip #7:  If you are married with children make sure to plan your getaway ahead of time and line up a sitter for the kids on your date with your spouse.  I believe it’s very important for married couples to take time away from their kids and spend quality time together getting to know each other when life gets to crazy and busy.

Tip #8:  Chocolate is a lovers delight – I have often heard it said.  If she loves chocolate be sure to try this website, they have some amazing treats she will love.  Or how about a personalized gift, there is a website called Personalizationmall.com that has so many ideas it will make your head spin.

Tip #9:  If you are a man and don’t want to cook, then you can have the meal delivered to your door.  Yes you heard me correct.  MagicKitchen.com does just that. These are gourmet meals fit for kings.  If you don’t tell her, I won’t either.  She will love it.

Tip #10:  Flowers are a wonderful gift for any occasion has some arrangements that will make her glow.  It is easy to order online and have them delivered at just the right time for her on Valentines Day.
I know you have other ideas and tips that I haven’t even touched on.  I hope that these will enlighten and encourage you to do something fun and loving for the one you love.  Remember love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or  proud. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.  It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. I Corinthians 13:4-7.

May all the love you hold so dear in your hearts overflow to those around you each and every day.  As God has loved us, we too should love others. 

Blessings to you on Valentines Day!

Just wanted to share this very cool and exciting website. They are in the beginning stages of creating another way to purchase online such as paypal or Google merchant. Right now they are gathering opinions and comments from individuals to be able to give the general public exactly what they would like to see in an online payment service.

You can also vote on the "debit" card that Paybox is getting ready to implement. This debit card will allow each paybox user to use at any of their favorite merchants in their communities.

Pray for our nation

Hello and welcome once again to my Faith Nuggets!  Today I want to call upon everyone to pray, for our Nation and our government, for our young children and teenagers and for families struggling in this very tough economy.  I wish I could say that things are just peachy with me and believe me when I say this, I wish they were, but they are not.  After Christmas some very heavy burdens have been placed on our family and I know it's the enemy at work trying to distroy marriages, relationships and finances.  But I will not let that happen, the Lord is faithful and he will meet all of my needs according to his riches and Glory - Amen. 

So, I urge you today right now take a few minutes and pray.  I have included a wonderful website that is called the World Prayer Team where you can sign up for "free" and then just add up to three prayers within a given time frame,  or you may start a prayer session and pray for others. The Lord says in his word that if we pray for others our prayers will be heard, so when times get tough the tough get on their knees.

I know these obstacles in my life will get better because I have lifted them to the Lord and I trust in Him.  So if you have anything you would like to be rid of for this New Year - then get on your knees - in our weakness He is strong -  blessings to you and yours!
