Full October Week: Worship, Radio, Woodworking, Art

The intensity of this week has been insane! All exciting stuff, but boy am I feeling it now! I pushed the limits this week/weekend singing Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday…and now I’m recovering on the couch with a blown voice…yikes! So thankful for this moment before the week kicks right back in high gear!

On Thursday night we were invited to share our song “So Free” at the Victory 91.5 Fall Concert, which turned into a great night of worship! There were about 10 other bands there and it was so great to spend time with other worship leaders and songwriters and praise Him together! We are looking forward to the release of “So Free” to iTunes any day now! It has been submitted and now we are just in the waiting process…always the hardest part right? In the meantime, if you would like to hear it you can listen right here on Sound Cloud!:)

I had a busy week also woodworking to prepare for selling at these events for our Guatemala Mission trip that is soon to be here! Thanksgiving week…..eeeek!:) I’ve been cutting out birds, mountains, trees, and now even little pieces like guitars for necklaces! Loving every minute of the woodworking biz! Next week I have a lot of work to do in my Etsy Shop, getting more things added and organzied…it’s gotta happen this week so keep checking!:)

We had a great time at our Home Church Friday night…love my folks so much! Then Saturday night I led worship and shared my testimony at a women’s night of worship, hosted by The Gathering church in Dawsonville, GA. God intervened in so many ways, helping my struggling voice, giving us a sweet time of worship. And then the small group of people there blessed us so much financially by giving toward our Guatemala trip, and purchasing art from me…and we have nearly met our goal! Praise The Lord! So thankful for giving hearts that give like that when you least expect it! Thank you Gathering church for your love and care for us and the mission God has called us to!

That’s all for now folks! Gonna eat some gluten free pizza and get ready for Monday!
Have a blessed week!

New Prints on Etsy Shop!

Just wanted to share with you real quick tonight the link to my Etsy Shop! I’ve been posting some of my graphic art prints today for sale and I’m quickly adding more! I’ll also be adding more acrylic paintings that I currently have in stock as well!

I’ll go into more detail in the next day or so about the direction I believe I’m headed in for my little art biz! It’s gonna take a little help from my great friends and family helping to spread the word, but I believe my goals are possible!

One of the main reasons I’m pushing a little harder in this season and in the seasons to come is for our missions and studio recording. Again, I’m gonna talk about this a little more in a few days, but I want my followers and buyers to know that every penny I make is going to fund our Guatemala mission trip and the needs down there, and any extra is going straight into our recording fund for the songs we are working on in the studio.

These are exciting, but trusting times. We are putting on faith, and trusting that God is in control!

Please check out my Etsy Shop and pass along on your Facebook pages, Pinterest, or whatever media avenue you enjoy! I so appreciate every one of you!

Be blessed!

Father’s Day Art!

Guys like art too! Did you know this?! Anyway, I have found this to be true as an artist, and sometimes feel bad for the dudes because so much art is created pretty girlish…(I’m guilty!) Obviously there’s a lot more you can do with art that appeals to the gals, BUT I accidentally stumbled across this form of art recently that I am CRAZY over!!! You may have seen some of my posts about it, and I hate that everyone can’t see these pieces in person! The photos are a little hard to capture because of all the dimensions and glossy shine of the the finish!

Basically, this is what I’m simply calling “Aluminum Art”…because that’s what it is! I get these thick chunks of heavy aluminum, paint the face (I like the black), and once the paint is dried I use some sharp metal tools to etch (scratch) my designs, revealing the metal underneath! Such a fun process! Then I put a really thick and glossy acrylic clear coat over the top to seal it from scratching and really make it shine:) Most of these are really thick (about an inch on average), and are made to stand alone on a desk, shelf, counter top, table, or wherever you like!

And for some reason, I am really hung up on the deer theme lately. Maybe because I’m a woodsy gal, but in any case, I’m hooked for the moment.

They range in prices according to their size! Let me know if you’d like something special for the guy in your life…Father’s Day, or any day!:)

Have a blessed weekend!
