Saint Joseph, Pillar of Families

I didn't use to pray novenas.  I always thought that praying directly to God was better.  But I read this passage from the Bible: "The continual prayer of a just man availeth much." - James 5:16 I thought of the matter more and now I see that novenas are a humble way of praying.  It is asking those closest to Jesus (and holiest) people who walked the earth, to pray for me. This is not a new way of doing things as Moses intervened for the Jews when God wanted to punish them for making a bull with their own hands and started worshipping them. I now think God is pleased whenever I pray a novena.    Since then, I have seen so many SIGNS AND WONDERS in myself and in my circumstances because I prayed a novena.   I credit Saint Joseph for my happy home life and also for helping us with our finances though the best thing for me is the way novenas help us to lead holy lives.  The saints want no applause but rather, they will always draw us closer to God.   Instead of idolizing cel

Saturday Stampin'




Stamps are really a great favorite among scrapbooking enthusiasts and crafters. I'm no exception. Today I made some of my own. These are my first so they're really rough.
It's easy to make these specially if you have large erasers. I was able to find only medium sized ones so the limitation to keep it a bit elongated was a bit of a challenge but nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed shaping and carving these!




I then found some plain stationery with gradating color. It was also a happy experience using my wavy scissors for the very first time as well! It's sometimes tricky to keep the stamp imprint free of any corners so I used the back of a pointy craft tool (whose name just escapes me at the moment).


On the way home this afternoon, I thought of stopping by the hardware and getting some wire for soldering. This will be my first attempt as well! I haven't gone on a creativity craze like this for a long while!

Dreaming of a DSLR to take better shots of my work! Fingers and toes crossed! :)
