Fundraiser

I am posting this to help our a friend Kim Sherrodand have quoted below from her blog so you can know the story
"This is a fundraiser to help my friend out at this time to help her with expenses so she can see her son. He has a heart problem and it's costly for the trip and it's financially difficult for her to travel. Help us to make it possible for her to spend some time with him. She doesn't think he's going to make it and anything will help to ease her burden during this difficult time.

We are so grateful to Ann V. of Raindrop Echo Designs for designing these beautiful stamps to help us with our fundraiser. We are offering these stamps in both digi and clear stamps. We will send you the digi stamps within 24 hours.
The clear stamps are a pre-order item. We have to meet a minimum in order to place the clear stamp order. The minimum is very minimal. The clear stamps are a wonderful quality and we've worked with the stamp manufacturer before."
You can go to her page HERE to order , thanks for your help

Say It With Scripture

This week at Sweet 'n Sassy digi challenge we are are challenging you to Say It With Scripture. I love the verse I used because it wraps it all up in one what God is to me. I just got back from a trip to a very dark country that serves many gods and I am so thankful that my God, the God of the Universe, the one true living God is the God of my salvation and I can place my trust in Him and not live in fear like the ones whom serve many gods. The fear I have for God is a fear of reverence not of being scared of what he may do. My God loves me more than anyone and would never do anything to harm me. Now that I have my preaching out of they way haha, lets get down to the challenge and my card.
To play along make a project using a verse of scripture and link it to the Sweet 'n Sassy Digi challenge blog. If you post to an online gallery please use keyword SNSDC10. Remember, you MUST use a SNS digi and participate all month to be eligible for the monthly prize.
