~ Show and Tell Friday~ A Few of My Favorite Things ~

It's that time again...

I didn't think of it when my 1ds15 walked out the door with his camera. ( the one I have been using sense we lost ours. )  So.... that ment I had to be creative with Friday Show and Tell.  

Well,  I did come up with a idea.  I hope this works.

I thought I would share a few of my favorite things.

My Family ( this was taken at Little Bear Wheeler (HS) Family Camp. Oct. 2006.  I think we need to get a updated family pic.)

 

Knitting ( and felting)

Beading

Nature Study ( I love bird watching)

Supporting my boys in Curling

Candle Making

Family Trips

My blogging buddies

Cooking with my boys

BOOKS

And last but NOT least...

Blogging and blog designing

I love your picture-album of your favorite things. I think I might do that sometime!
I didn't know you did template design. No wonder your blog has all the "bells and whistles."

That's a great idea, Mary! Using a collage of your favorite things pulling from your photo books for a good show and tell. Your family pictures are cute. And we'll be waiting for that more current one!

I think I just figured out you have a 15 year old son too. I had the pleasure of seeing your creativity up close as worn by Susan the other day. She wore her blue necklace that you made to lunch. Very nice!

I enjoyed your 'favorite things'. I focused on the red berries on the bird watching photo and wondered, "Where's the bird?" He was camouflaged
being red.

I remember watching curling on tv when I was a kid and we lived in North Dakota. Folks around here tend not to know what it is. You're a 'Curling Mom' and that's not doing your hair!

In Him SSIC,
Marie

Lots of great pictures of your favorite things - I love your booties. I've done felting before by making animals, but not anything practical. I bet they are sure warm. I also love your cardinal picture - I think they are one of my favorite birds.

Oh that was fun!! I enjoyed seeing your favorite things - especially your "crafty" pursuits (I love those candles!!) and curling! Yeah!!!! Not much interest in curling where I live - how odd. LOL

Darling candles! How do you make them into trees? Molds? Are they green inside with translucent on the outside? What do they look like when you burn them? Not that I would be allowed to light one since I caught my hair on fire... *blushes*

Blessings and hugs,
Jen

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 10, and 8. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
