However, the great thing about scrapbooking is that it can be so much more than ‘just’ a hobby; it’s a way to be as creative as you want to be and where you can let your imagination run wild (and your imagination go to town) on the beautifully crafted pages. </span></p><p><span id="docs-internal-guid-3e7425da-7fff-9602-eadf-7bdd91755a32"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The basics of scrapbooking are indeed very easy to grasp, but if you really want to upgrade your scrapbooking hobby there are a lot of different options to try out - some will work better for you than others, but experimentation is all part of the fun; keep reading to find out more. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_kxDCIvapnEN2uOALEyztSbJdpIsn5QXd-JKbx8W4o_KaRCQSlUNb89IVQnx7RPO869R1tivHd6JkMxJjmnetUCJjsZt83SHo54kmuF5F6HZI_phelplMgWQNzu2xRLqUvepnWwidmtNBU0ibei-0-VYOVGOwEWc2uQmxttVvOJMdTbF_nx0nY4GxBRc/s4000/pexels-kristyna-vyvolejto-15636411.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_kxDCIvapnEN2uOALEyztSbJdpIsn5QXd-JKbx8W4o_KaRCQSlUNb89IVQnx7RPO869R1tivHd6JkMxJjmnetUCJjsZt83SHo54kmuF5F6HZI_phelplMgWQNzu2xRLqUvepnWwidmtNBU0ibei-0-VYOVGOwEWc2uQmxttVvOJMdTbF_nx0nY4GxBRc/w640-h640/pexels-kristyna-vyvolejto-15636411.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Photo by: <a href="Photo by Kristyna Vyvolej.to: https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-album-and-decoration-15636411/" rel="" target="_blank">Kristyna Vyvolej<span><a name='more'></a></span></a></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-d4e027aa-7fff-fb67-9b5c-2330897226ba"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Use Die Sets</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-f590b2d4-7fff-1cb7-0032-d70c50229672"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Die cutting is a fantastic option to up your scrapbooking game as it’s such a versatile technique that you can create some brilliantly intricate shapes and designs very easily.

Think carefully about exactly what you want to include (it’s always going to be your choice because they’re your stories) and make sure that all the things you want to remember as the years go by are in your gorgeous scrapbooks. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-562e1304-7fff-4a53-4a0f-c2ca62594ad4"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">The things you might want to include are anything that’s a milestone event, a cherished family tradition, a funny thing that happened to you… </span><a href="http://www.mail4rosey.com/2022/03/a-personalized-letter-from-easter-bunny.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">anything that want to remember</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> or that you want other people to remember later on - scrapbooks can be a brilliant family heirloom, of course. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-1fd7c593-7fff-e9be-8e27-3949b306bf9b"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Go To Classes</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-dcef7246-7fff-1407-5681-057c13ecc6bf"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Did you know that you can go to classes to improve your scrapbooking skills? Although you probably won’t come away with a formal qualification - although it might be that you go to an art class that includes scrapbooking, and in that case, it’s entirely possible - but you will come away with lots of new ideas and some skills that you might not have had before. Put those skills to good use every time you open up your scrapbook and you’ll quickly see an improvement in how everything looks. </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7d795c2e-7fff-2fb5-d060-d1bab1581f7d"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Search online and you might be surprised at where and when the classes take place - there could be hands-on classes at your local craft store, for example, or there might be </span><a href="https://www.educations.com/articles-and-advice/5-reasons-online-learning-is-future-of-education-17146" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">online classes</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> you can attend from home.

Is that big deal at work really worth missing the last family gathering everyone has together before your dad passes away? And even though you do have your family's best interest at heart, including your dad's, will that deal matter more than that last visit would? Sometimes it's good to put things into perspective. Everything that seems of dire importance, doesn't always earn that priority status.<span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCxFZiJCy0zrNq-i3i6IcAHWTqAI89aw344LiaO7tUyAUPepKsJmNxFu6EJfJSNdwfW3VlBQ0uDL7LIlGFbKAbE9RMj8uIMX9fNfPqomNZRmsxADeFLRns3x3VUwK0v75rqcc-8dUGDdQmSGOqrdryPPFK2AfC1JSzU3mT0wfxF2XyICHJwwPptPYYPBU/s6720/Yoshi%20+%20Catherine.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4480" data-original-width="6720" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCxFZiJCy0zrNq-i3i6IcAHWTqAI89aw344LiaO7tUyAUPepKsJmNxFu6EJfJSNdwfW3VlBQ0uDL7LIlGFbKAbE9RMj8uIMX9fNfPqomNZRmsxADeFLRns3x3VUwK0v75rqcc-8dUGDdQmSGOqrdryPPFK2AfC1JSzU3mT0wfxF2XyICHJwwPptPYYPBU/w640-h426/Yoshi%20+%20Catherine.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Forty-Seven Days with Jesus is in Theaters March 11, 12, and 14th ONLY!</b></h2><p>Forty-Seven Days with Jesus takes us on the journey of a family who loves each other, but as with all families, has had its share of struggles, including the current one where the father is in critical stages of cancer, and his son is too busy working to see the importance of the family all spending time together (as a priority over work). As things progress, we learn his father was pretty much the same, and when his dad decided to turn things around and put his family first, he started writing in a notebook about Jesus' last 47 days on Earth. </p><p>His dad starts to read the story to his grandchildren bit by bit, each night that they are there, sometimes asking his son to take over. As everyone plans for a day out on the family boat, the patriarch's pride and joy, Daniel opts to stay home and taking a meeting online that he couldn't get out of, while he is waiting he sees that his wife has taken off her wedding rings.</p><p>He ends his meeting early, heads to the water and begins to remember that the people he loves are more important than immersing himself in things that take him away from them. It's not an easy for him and his wife to find their way back to what matters most, but sometimes the things worth fighting for in life, prove to be challenging.</p><p>Forty-Seven Days with Jesus has a storyline that all of us can relate to in one way or another. It is worth seeing.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8DZKpTiEBBjhTghHEX-pBspgwRmiEjYks0VC3xE_lIwkUUz1ObTmABEQ4JJoBs8RHVAHWFFyFEsq944Xldv0RFyEpgruANKoMxNLec8u03IHa5Es7olILGFyytwRqFC6JcRV8tFo91XdY0mfowFYzkrpPAk_wsJq4CeXpvuN4E5bF54NtzXl1ikC1wsA/s1920/The%20Last%20Supper.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8DZKpTiEBBjhTghHEX-pBspgwRmiEjYks0VC3xE_lIwkUUz1ObTmABEQ4JJoBs8RHVAHWFFyFEsq944Xldv0RFyEpgruANKoMxNLec8u03IHa5Es7olILGFyytwRqFC6JcRV8tFo91XdY0mfowFYzkrpPAk_wsJq4CeXpvuN4E5bF54NtzXl1ikC1wsA/w640-h360/The%20Last%20Supper.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://www.fathomevents.com/events/47-days-with-jesus/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Buy tickets today to see Forty-Seven Days with Jesus in theaters ONLY on March 11, 12, and 14! </a></span></b></h2><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">BUY TICKETS: </span><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://www.fathomevents.com/events/47-days-with-jesus/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gtDfKf7RALY?si=T8pFOzIQTJnrQvHm" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p></a><h2 style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.fathomevents.com/events/47-days-with-jesus/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b></b></a><b><a href="https://fortysevendaysfilm.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a></b></h2></span></b></h2><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">There's a Giveaway!</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></b></div><div>One lucky winner gets a $10 gift code to Amazon.

Known as the "mother" of social work, in 1889, she co-founded Hull House in Chicago, one of the first settlement houses in the United States. Hull House provided social services and education to the immigrant community, addressing issues such as poverty, child labor, and women's rights. Addams was also a prominent peace activist and played a key role in the international peace movement during and after World War I. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931, becoming the first American woman to receive this honor.</p><p>Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962). A tireless advocate for human rights, Eleanor Roosevelt served as the First Lady of the United States from 1933 to 1945. After her husband Franklin D. Roosevelt's death, she continued her work on behalf of social justice and international diplomacy. Roosevelt played a crucial role in the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. Her commitment to human rights and social justice has left a lasting legacy, and she is remembered as one of the most influential and beloved First Ladies in American history.</p><p>Mae Jemison (1956- ). A physician, engineer, and former NASA astronaut, making history as the first African American woman to travel in space. Beyond her groundbreaking achievements in science and space exploration, Jemison has been an advocate for STEM education, encouraging young people to pursue careers in science and technology.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Celebrating Yourself: You Deserve It!</span></h2><p>These remarkable women, along with countless others globally, deserve not only accolades but also widespread recognition. And guess what? You deserve it too! You don't need to achieve something on a national or international scale to be extraordinary. Your uniqueness alone makes you truly amazing.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Spoil Yourself with Comfort</h3><p>In the midst of your busy life, take a moment to acknowledge your achievements and treat yourself to something special. Investing in self-care is a powerful act of self-love. One way to pamper yourself is by indulging in a luxurious Shiatsu massage pad for your chair. <a href="https://www.comfier.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Comfier</a> offers many different options.... full-seat massage, next and back massage, heated, not heated, cordless, with a cord, and so on and so forth. The one thing they have in common is they make you feel relaxed and pampered.</p><p><b>Why a Shiatsu Massage Pad?</b></p><p>A Shiatsu massage pad is designed to provide you with a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, helping to relieve tension and stress. Its innovative technology mimics the hands and fingers of a skilled masseuse, offering a deep and soothing massage right in the comfort of your own home.</p><p><b>Benefits of a Shiatsu Massage Pad</b></p><p>Stress Relief: The Shiatsu massage technique targets pressure points, promoting relaxation and reducing stress levels.</p><p>Improved Circulation: The gentle kneading and rolling motions stimulate blood flow, enhancing overall circulation and promoting better health.</p><p>Muscle Tension Release: The deep tissue massage provided by the Shiatsu pad helps release knots and tight muscles, leaving you feeling more flexible and rejuvenated.</p><p>Convenience: With a Shiatsu massage pad, you can enjoy the benefits of a massage whenever you need it, without the need for appointments or leaving your home.</p><p>As we celebrate International Women's Day, let us not only honor the incredible women who have shaped history but also recognize the strength within ourselves.

They're tasty and I'm glad I tried them, but I like my grapes to taste like grapes. 😊🍇</span></span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696988693706616137.post-79641759974080195402024-02-25T15:29:00.004-05:002024-02-25T16:33:04.376-05:00Cabrini Opens in Theaters March 8! $10 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway <p><i>Disclosure: Many thanks to Angel Studios for providing a sample of the product for this review.

Met with obstacles every step of the way, she courageously continues to carry out her mission to help the city's most vulnerable members, the abandoned children.</p><p>Cabrini is physically weak, but strong in spirit and action. Though challenged by lack of funding and not being permitted to get money from Americans, she finds a way to get the word out to the public by appealing to the nature of the owner of the newspaper. Until that point, people were not entirely aware of the conditions people endured in Five Points, New York Of course, not everyone wants to have the plight of the immigrant Italian children heard and powerful people step in the path of progress.</p><p>With persistence, and proof of pure intent, help sometimes shows up in ways we might not have expected. And sometimes that help turns on us and can be our ruin. So, who can you trust and how can you get them on your side? Based on a true story, see how Mother Cabrini came to America with nothing but a suitcase and a few sisters, and how she eventually passed away there, a hero of the United States, Italy and the world.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQKym3LvLJlC9gRqUQWY9Jy241Xcwm7YjW-InUZS8FHKuvEPEpv2e7Yks2UdQRNEov5ZR2ErlAa7yoME71DfBhBsPH5f8UIQqOh34oHylB7B0zryTmeQes7Mgp4_n1u-dbODqHxrMc1bIl4HuV8DYgqDN08V0aHGnQgJoSj_NI8qiit9ZSrlKlN_T-YxU/s1920/CAB_100-RT_V2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQKym3LvLJlC9gRqUQWY9Jy241Xcwm7YjW-InUZS8FHKuvEPEpv2e7Yks2UdQRNEov5ZR2ErlAa7yoME71DfBhBsPH5f8UIQqOh34oHylB7B0zryTmeQes7Mgp4_n1u-dbODqHxrMc1bIl4HuV8DYgqDN08V0aHGnQgJoSj_NI8qiit9ZSrlKlN_T-YxU/w640-h640/CAB_100-RT_V2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><h1 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.angel.com/tickets/cabrini" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Buy Tickets Today</a>!</h1><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.angel.com/tickets/cabrini" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Buy tickets</a> today to see Cabrini in theaters starting March 8th! </p><p><i>Over the course of 34 years Cabrini established an astonishing 67 hospitals, orphanages, and schools.

Fashion is a form of self-expression after all. So, if you have a beautiful outfit but don’t feel like today is the day to wear it, you might shelve those garments for another day. The deeper and passionate colors you may wear to a date might be distinct to the homely textures and patterns you wear when visiting your sibling and their children.

We also like to color eggs but using the traditional methods can get a little messy. The last few years, we have been using an Eggmazing to decorate them. You can get an Eggmazing that is shaped like a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Eggmazing-Easter-Egg-Decorator-Colorful/dp/B0CJGWRTLY?th=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Peeps Bunny</a> or buy one shaped like a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Original-EggMazing-Easter-Egg-Decorator/dp/B076WSBDW9" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">traditional egg</a>. Both are cute. The non-toxic quick-dry markers are included as are the batteries, and they are so very easy to use. Simply put the egg in the opening, place an uncapped marker on the egg and turn the machine on. Change colors when your stripes are the size you want them. These are fun. Great for family parties. Highly recommend (we have the one that makes Christmas ornaments too!).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Eggmazing-Easter-Egg-Decorator-Colorful/dp/B0CJGWRTLY?th=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PEEPS® EggMazing Egg Decorator</a> (Hey Buddy Hey Pal): PEEPS® joins the EggMazing family with the new PEEPS® EggMazing Egg Decorator!

They're at that age where it's adorable when they're dressed the same or similar. Their mom's birthday is in March too, I should try to find something for her somewhere that matches their looks. I've never taken it that far before (and I'm not at all beyond cheesy...

For example, I was browsing through the girls' bottoms using the dropdown menu, but it was a bit of a mixed bag of all kinds of bottoms. I only wanted to see shorts, so I simply typed 'shorts' into the search bar, and voila'! Shorts galore.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you're on the lookout for fantastic deals on kids' clothing, look no further than Kidpik. Their prices are unbeatable, and they offer everything you could possibly need. Whether you're in need of casual wear, something dressy, or anything in between, Kidpik has got you covered. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>UPDATE:</b> Our clothes arrived today, and they are so cute. I'm so excited about this company and will definitely be ordering from them again. Every piece was amazing in terms of quality and looks and the prices cannot be beat. Kidpik is such a wonderful find!! I encourage everyone to take a look at what they have to offer.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Ready to shop?

It was fun, albeit a little messy, to work on the creations with her. That really got me interested in the brand so I took a look around their site to see what they have for the kids for Valentine's Day. The "I Dig It" sets are kind of cute!! The set I looked at had horses in it. They also have dinosaurs, dragons and farm animals.

Sometimes the most fun is in the process, something Thames & Kosmos has really picked up on.

So, if you like a touch of lavender, or a soft one, this could be the scent for you. It mingles perfectly with the slightly herbaceous sage and the refreshing green tea extract.<br /><br />Once it sits for 20 minutes or so, you start to get a velvety sweetness from the Heliotrope and Pear that feels both comforting to me, and happy at the same time. </p><p style="text-align: left;">The grounding base notes of musk, moss and tonka bean keep the fragrance from being too sweet or too fleeting.</p><p style="text-align: left;">It is the perfect kind of scent for daywear or every day wear. A good choice for work or play. It's soft (sits close to the skin), it's pretty and it's clean. I'm very happy to have this fragrance and will be wearing it quite often. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0328/0453/6459/files/key_words_new_4_en.png?v=1670408467" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-color: rgb(229, 231, 235); border-style: none; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box !important; color: #6a6a6a; display: block; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; height: auto; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: top;" /></p><div class="ProductMeta__Text" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; border-color: rgb(229, 231, 235); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box !important; color: #6a6a6a; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 24px 0px;"><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-color: rgb(229, 231, 235); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box !important; font-size: inherit; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; text-align: left;"><b>You can purchase your own Bloomtea from Hermetica by clicking <a href="https://us.hermetica.com/products/bloomtea-eau-de-parfum" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a></b><span style="font-weight: inherit;">. </span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-color: rgb(229, 231, 235); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box !important; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; text-align: left;">Bloomtea by Hermetica would make an excellent Valentine's Day or Mother's Day gift idea as well. 💗</span></p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8696988693706616137.post-43144508340045789252024-02-07T09:29:00.002-05:002024-02-07T09:29:34.720-05:00Wordless Wednesday: Lemonade Apples<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidJhKQgXJVqvEbPD6jIg7z1uooAeEOAw2soyt92DthvWSDk3gAm__MjVnRS51ntB6H3mu1ansv2m43XrB3vuluCWxV9VXBVpr6zV3qfc68wgkfsjo6nbRfsoaRa5qaB4DjrWrmIHE1n01g1eFvpl1OOCncFuU4OMLx0gSf_-5jRQpT9nMwhyzCZw3xAWc/s4032/261D178B-E499-450C-8908-8A87DBED264F.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidJhKQgXJVqvEbPD6jIg7z1uooAeEOAw2soyt92DthvWSDk3gAm__MjVnRS51ntB6H3mu1ansv2m43XrB3vuluCWxV9VXBVpr6zV3qfc68wgkfsjo6nbRfsoaRa5qaB4DjrWrmIHE1n01g1eFvpl1OOCncFuU4OMLx0gSf_-5jRQpT9nMwhyzCZw3xAWc/w480-h640/261D178B-E499-450C-8908-8A87DBED264F.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Lemonade Apples?

It's amazing to see how much growth the show has had and now it is being played in theaters, which is a wonderful tribute to the team who had a part in making it. I'm sure it's not easy to make a story and be very careful to stay 100% true to the Bible which I'm guessing they feel the obligation to do. Maybe that's why the stories are shared from the standpoint of how the people might have felt who were living during Jesus' time. That can allow you to consider the stories you've heard before in a new light. I know I feel more now for how Joseph might have felt when Mary was expecting, and of course, Mary. Those examples being used just to illustrate how an inside look of how people may have acted/reacted can help connect you to those written about in the good book.</p><p><i>Clashing kingdoms. Rival rulers. The enemies of Jesus close in while His
followers struggle to keep up, leaving Him to carry the burden alone. Threatened by
the reality of Jesus’ growing influence, religious leaders do the unthinkable—ally
with their Roman oppressors. As the seeds of betrayal are planted and opposition to
Jesus’ message turns violent, He’s left with no alternative but demand his followers

In addition to being conscientious, these scents are all unique and very high quality niche selections, and the Bloomtea is no exception.

I enjoy a good whiff of perfume here and there, throughout the day, but I don't really want to be drowning in it. This kind of scent is perfect for being subtle but still present all at the same time.

She is the woman who is trying to help Ed (Alan Ritchson) with things he cannot tackle on his own. The trouble is, Sharon is a force to be reckoned with, not a behind-the-scenes kind of character, and she doesn't always make good decisions. That leads Ed to question whether or not she should be in their lives, even as his youngest daughter's life rests on a precarious line. See how his mother (Nancy Travis) steps in to help him come to his senses to at least consider letting Sharon step in to help.</p><p>I attended the pre-screening of this movie, and it was fantastic! It was a pleasant surprise to see Hilary Swank back on screen (it's been awhile), and as expected, her performance was exceptional. In fact, everyone's performance was outstanding, making it a show definitely worth watching. This is a story most anyone can relate to; when life throws a few unexpected curves, it's nice to have people step in to help, especially if you're not expecting it. Sometimes it's life-changing, or in this case, life-saving.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/R1vn8kPgCYA?si=9Zn8SjyzR1VYi6Kw" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b>You Can BUY TICKETS Today!</b></h2><p>Tickets are on sale now and the movie will air in theaters starting February 23rd.
