While the Youngest Winger Was Here...

While the youngest Winger Emmy was here visiting from Austin we were able to have several art days!

Emily has been creating Promise Cards as special orders for quite a few people lately.  They just keep getting better and better, and the orders keep coming!  You can pick the bible verses that you want or she has a list of truths and verses and she puts them together in a unique, one-of-a-kind 4x6 format.  Truth on the front, bible verse on the back. You can put them in your bag, use them as bookmarks, put them on your mirror, stick them on the refrigerator, put them next to your bed to read at night or in the morning, pin them on the bulletin board at work, stick them in your car, or give them as gifts.  TONS of possibilities! 

We got out our paper stashes and worked on some backgrounds for her to then use and run with.

Here's an example of one of her finished cards, front and back:

If you are interested in having her make a set for you, email her at emilyward527@gmail.com
$25 for a bundle of 5. (If being shipped a couple of dollars will be added for shipping and handling.)


 Other projects we worked on together (or side by side!) while Emily was here:

Laura worked on a special order yarn wrapped "B"

One day we worked around Green Girl's kitchen island - showing Emily the magic of mod-podge and sharing some tricks of the trade:

So good for our souls!!! - spending this time together, creating and laughing! 

Maybe I'll wave my new "Be Kind" sign around as a warning when my kids need it.  ;-)

Some New Bundles of Promises!

Here are a few new bundles that I've made recently:

A couple of cards in the last bundle were for a guy.  So I can make manly cards too!

Promise Cards

The youngest sister/daughter here...who rarely posts on this blog...but felt this may be a post worthy post on the Things With Wings blog. I have some how crossed over to the artsy fartsy craftsy side...I'm no longer just the musician.  Here is the post from my blog...

Over the last few months I have started making some promise cards.  I have needed little reminders for my mind to think on and scripture to remind myself of what is true when lies are going crazy in my head.

I started writing down promises that God gives us & scripture that goes with each promise. I first read these promises from my friend Fabs' blog. She has written several posts on promises that you can find here.  She is an amazing writer and you should definitely check out her posts. They will inspire and encourage you.

Writing these promises down started with a white index card and a sharpie. Then I figured that if I made it pretty to look at with fun colors, maybe I would actually read it!  Sad...but true. Those of you who know me, know that I love colors!

So I've decided, with much persuasion from my friends, to sell these cards. I've already had a couple of customers and they have loved their cards and it's so neat to hear the stories of the people in their life who they will share these promises with. 

So here is the deal...

• It's a 4x6 index sized card 
• Truth on the front, scripture on the back. (they can also be made one-sided)
• Each uniquely designed
• $25 for a bundle of 5 handmade cards.
• Put them in your bag, use them as bookmarks, put them on your mirror, stick them on the refrigerator, put them next to your bed to read at night or in the morning, pin them on the bulletin board at work, stick them in your car...the options are endless!
• Keep them for yourself or buy them for a friend!

Here are some examples: (each picture is front & back)

If you are interested in purchasing a bundle, email me at emilyward527@gmail.com and I will send you a list of all the promises that you can choose from, or you can let me know if there are specific promises or verses that you want. 


Feel free to pass this along to anyone who would be interested...blog about it...tweet about it...get the word out!

**My hope and prayer for these cards is that they would not be empty words you read over and over and over but my prayer over each card that I make is that the Spirit of God who breathes life, would move powerfully through these truths and through these scriptures to encourage, inspire and change life. He is alive and active, His word is alive and active...let HIM move your heart.**
