Highlights of Our Day

Today my daughter and I created a birthday card for one of our friends. Card-making is so much fun, and best of all, it can be included as a part of your homeschooling programme under design and technology, especially if you design the inside of the card using the computer and a programme such as MS Word.

After we had finished card-making and cleaning up, my daughter galloped off outside and came back in a short while later with some beautifully ripe blackberries, and she informed me that there are hundreds more on the vine that are nearly ripe. Praise God for His provision over us!

What was my son doing while we were otherwise occupied with card-making? He loves our bantam chickens with a passion, and he was out photographing them. The bantams are growing so quickly, and they love spending time in our back yard. He snapped a photo of them sitting near the grape vine – aren’t they ever so cute?

   Hi Jillian,
   My DD and I make cards together too. We usually listen to a book on tape while we do it. I love your card design, very pretty.
   Have a great day.
   ((((hugs)))

   Oh you blessed girl. We love fresh blackberries. Hard to wait until fall to get them. The card is beautiful.

   Hi Tricia,
   The best part is that our blackberries are thornless.

   Thank you – my daughter and I enjoy card-making, and I love it that we can say what we really mean in a card that we make.

   Have a wonderful and blessed week,
   Jillian ♥
