My Holly is still in town visiting–and we spent a day at the craft store…with no agenda–just picking up canvases and random things…and decided we’d have some art fun while she was here. She leaves tomorrow for Virginia–sad to see her go…she is dear, dear, DEAR to me…and I couldn’t be more thankful for the things this precious 24 year old girl has taught this momma’s heart. Thankful for our time together. Tonight we were talking about mother’s hearts…and we were thinking about Mary–and ALL that she must have felt. As we talked–I knew what I wanted to paint on my canvas. By the way–I am SO NOT an artist. But I will say painting and crafting just minister to my heart…I turn on a little Kristene Mueller and just paint. He meets me there…and so I stay…and just paint. It’s really like being a kid again…and just resting in His presence.
Tonight I painting a 20×20 canvas (all canvases are 50% off at Blick Art Stores until Dec.24th by the way), and put it above the mantel where the nativity scene usually sits…


Just thinking about Mary and her mother’s heart tonight…I was truly overwhelmed just thinking about what Mary must have been pondering…for she was a believer and had been raised to know the Old Testament–and she knew the future for the Messiah. So much awe…yet so much weight…and as I reflected this is what transpired…
Remembering the miracle tonight…
(By the way…if you want to copy this craft–PLEASE feel free to do so and even copy the words if you like…or change them up if you want to too. All you need is a simple canvas–and acrylic paint…I buy the basic inexpensive stuff and because I’m just playing and really don’t know what I’m doing–it works:)
Blessings to y’all!

WOW!! I can’t believe you call that a “craft.” I could show you a picture of a “craft” that my two year old and I did together. (His always looks better than mine!) That is absolutely beautiful. I so have a artistic son I may get to make me one of those. Our fireplace stones look just like yours, so I can completely picture it above our mantle. If you ever want to make another one, I would be happy to purchase it from you. (hint, hint) 🙂
