Christmas The meaning of Christmas according to the dictionary is “the annual Christian festival celebrating Christ’s birth, held on December 25 in the Western Church.” I would like to focus on two words for a few minutes here. Christ’s Birth. Why was Christ born? That’s one thing the dictionary will not say. Let’s dive in on that […]
The dictionary states it as follows: “the expression of gratitude, especially to God.” Do you thank God for your life? For your Family? For your Job? Your Car? Food on the table? A roof you can sleep under? He is the one who has granted you a life to live. You could say, “well, I accomplished this […]
Where It All Began It all starts back in June of 1991 when I was born. For the first seven years of my life, I lived in Wekerom, The Netherlands. I don’t remember much from back then, but I do remember the house and what it looked like inside and out. Fun Fact: I could probably draw […]
Family fun. Where to start is the question. Over my 26 years of life there have been plenty of opportunities where my family and I have had fun. Now to remember a few highlights. Back when we lived in Holland, there were two things that stood out to me and I enjoyed the most: Rummage Sales Every […]
This month I decided to do something slightly different. Instead of my ring making, I have decided to show you all what we use as a backdrop for most of our items. A decorative wooden placemat. This is a pretty simple task, and you only need a few basic tools. What You’ll Need Wood (I used […]
What is love? The dictionary puts it as, “an intense feeling of deep affection.” Affection means, “a gentle feeling of fondness or liking”. As we look at how love is now shown throughout the world. Is that really love? Is love… husbands abusing their wives and children or all butterflies and wonderful feelings? Let’s look at real […]
2017 already! Wow, time flies. I hope everyone has had a blessed Christmas and new years. I pray that everyone will have a fantastic new year. This past year was filled with challenges and obstacles to work through. I came out of them having learned how to be more patient and be more precise in my craftsmanship. […]
Christmas is always a very special time with the family. I can’t remember all the years past, but I remember as a kid we always had a huge party at my Grandparents house, an open house. We would invite all our friends and family members. The house always smelled amazing, filled with snacks galore: cookies, dips, crackers, […]
In Holland, they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but being part of an American family, we would still celebrate it. As far as I can remember, we would have family and close friends join us in the celebration. The time together was always very enjoyable; the weather nice and cold, which, I must say, I miss. Currently, in Southern […]
My interest in woodworking started when I was a teenager. I had seen how my grandpa and my uncle either restored or fixed furniture and sometimes made their own pieces. It made me want to start learning to do woodworking myself. When I was 16, I took a wood carving class which got me even more interested. […]
