Hello, friends! 

I am so happy to announce that we now have our couch back in our den!  Woohoo!!! We actually have a place to sit!  I have never loved my couch so much in my life. Smile

So now we have the couch and our tv on the piano bench.  What else could we need?!

 

Tonight, I have been watching Christmas movies with the boys on the couch, and it feels great!  I’ve also had a chance to look through all the great projects linked up at my Best DIY Projects of November party.

Here are a few I thought you would enjoy and wanted to share with you:

 

 

Beth has done it again!  I recently featured her roman shade, and now I am loving the new headboard she made out of drop cloth!

She gives a great tutorial of how she made it so click on the picture to check it out.  Great job, Beth!

 

Being Brook created this beautiful rustic wood headboard for just $35.00.  She has a lot of beautiful pictures of her new headboard and shares how she made it.

Kudos to Strawberries and Sweet Love for painting her first piece of furniture!

I think the chair turned out great, don’t you?

I love this Family Handprint Tree that Liz, from Naptime Decorator, made!

How precious is this?

Wouldn’t this be a great gift idea too?  I think it would be a cute Christmas gift for Grandparents with all of the grandchildren’s handprints on it.

 

Lauren, from Only From Scratch, made her own Advent Calendar from drop cloth!

What a special Christmas treasure!  She said she would be filling the pockets with little cards that had activities for her family to do each day, along with a bible verse from the Christmas story.   Great idea, Lauren!

 

 

This Marshmallow Wonderland Vignette makes me smile!  It is the creation of Janet from Today’s Fabulous Finds!

I love that sign and those cute little trees on stumps.  Precious!

 

 

 

I am going to end with this beautiful DIY Wall Art Sign made by Katie from Creatively Living.

Carinn's sign #10_edited-1

My heart took a deep breath when I read the scripture on this sign.  It is one of my very favorite scriptures found in Lamentations 3:22. 

“Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

 

I love the promise that God’s compassions never fail and are new every morning.

Just like we never have to worry about whether or not the sun will rise each morning, we never have to worry if God’s love will be there when we wake up.   It is new every morning.

No matter how bad we mess up today, or how difficult our life circumstances may be, we can lay our heads on our pillows at night and know for sure that when we wake up, God will be there still loving us and giving us a brand new day. 

I pray that you will find JOY in this promise today!

    Traci,

    I am now following the Silhouette Blog and have left a comment there!

    #3. Become a public follower of Beneath My Heart (through Google Friends or by subscribing, or both! (I promise to make my blog one that you are glad you follow!) :) Tell me in a comment if you follow me!

    I became a public follower of your blog Beneath My Heart! Thanks for the opportunity.

    #1. Visit the Silhouette website and take a look around. Come back and tell me in a comment what you would make with your new Silhouette machine?

    I don’t see my comment to the 1st requirement so I thought I would leave it again. I went to the Silhouette website and looked around. The Silhouette machine is indeed a very neat machine. Having the machine would be fun and enjoyable. I could do many things with machine. I am a mom of 5. Though since I have two teenage daughters with a genetic home-bound disorder that maybe unable to go back to school this year and may not be able to finish high school due to their health, I believe I would give the machine to them to enjoy Lord willing if I won it. I think in case they are unable able to ever work, winning the Silhouette machine would give them an opportunity to make things which they would enjoy doing very much. Also this may possibly give them the opportunity make, create and sell things for an income and to have their own money and independence. I think they would enjoy working with the vinyl and glass etching designs the most.

  10. I love all of these ideas! But the scipture sign is by far my favorite! Thanks for the reminder!

  11. Traci-Thanks so much for featuring my headboard!
