Quick and Easy St. Patrick's Day Banner ~ Made from Paper Clips and Free Printables

Hello,

Here is a quick and easy last minute decoration

you can make for St. Patrick's Day!

I made this by using plastic coated colored paper clips

that I purchased at the dollar store.

These come in assorted colors and I sorted them

and attached them alternating white and green.

Then I printed out some free vintage images

from these lovely sites...

Yestercards

and

Vintage Holiday Crafts

Then I attached them to the paper clip banner!

So easy and inexpensive.

Thank's for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this.

Love,

Beverly

Shared this beautiful prayer of St. Patrick

This would be great to make bookmarks for 

children, family, friends or to hand out at church!

As I arise today, may the strength of God pilot me,
the power of God uphold me,
the wisdom of God guide me.
May the eye of God look before me,
the ear of God hear me,
the Word of God speak for me.
May the hand of God protect me,
the way of God lie before me,
the shield of God defend me,
the host of God save me.
May Christ shield me today...
Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ in me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit,
Christ when I stand,
Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
Amen.

Well now I believe I better get busy making some things!

I have a great idea for using left over heart shaped doily's

that I will be sharing soon!

I hope you enjoyed these and I hope everyone

is safe through these terrible tornado's 

that have went across the US today!

My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Love,

Antique 1908 Paper Household Journal Autumn Fashions ~ Free Printable ~ Altered Art, Scrap Booking

Hello,

I have been going through my "stash" of old magazines and papers

and I came across this antique magazine from 1908!

The magazine itself is not in the greatest shape 

but it is one of those things that I saved ... with plans to use it for something one day! 

I am sure everyone has a collection like that! 

But I found this great ad inside for Autumn Fashions

and wanted to share it.

You are welcome to use this for altered art projects, scrap booking or whatever idea you have.

Please do not add this to any collections for sale this is for personal use only!

I loved the style of clothing from way back then... 

but I could never imagine wearing those tight corsets!

Thanks for looking and Happy Autumn.

Love,

Beverly
