I am kicking off the first day of the year with my word, Re-Purpose and a plan to "do something for others" with what I have.
I have mentioned it here and on FB, but when you have that nagging urge to help, to reach out and do something, but you just do not know what to do...
it really is easy...we humans just tend to complicate and over think things (well, at least I do.)
"When you don't know what to do, do what you know how to do, with what you have, for someone else."
So now what????
First, take a look at the video:
Now, if you have taken one of my classes in the past few months, then you know exactly how to make "truth cards" the way I am making them but, here is the thing,
YOU can create "truth cards" just the way you want!
Here is what I am doing:
1. Start by creating cards or covering regular ol' playing cards with scraps of paper and tissue paper
2. Add a little ink to the edges
3. Add some paint, some stamps and some love in the shape of hearts (or whatever you wish!)
4. Add a little more "detail"
5. Adhere the truth
and hey, as you are creating these truth cards for others, think, reflect and pray about what you are doing while you are doing it. It's a win win and that is a GREAT way to start off a new year!
For more information on how YOU can create truth cards for our brave girl friends on the other side of the world, go here http://bravegirlsclub.com/truth-card-exchange-manila-phillipines
and just a little shout out to my amazing friends Melody & Kathy...YOU are changing the world...ONE BRAVE GIRL AT A TIME!
AH!!! I don't know if there is enough time to send any by Jan 5. :( I am seriously considering giving it a go and mailing priority. Thanks for sharing this

What a great idea. I recently signed up for your Doodle Too course and am looking forward to trying your collage techniques which is different for me.

What a wonderful thing to do. Will this be an ongoing thing as the date is very close? This is a great idea for all countries where this happens...including our own.

I'm so sad that I missed out on this opportunity. Does anyone know of another chance to do something like this?
