Jacob was sent home from school on Tuesday feeling unwell and only went back on Friday. Then over the weekend we have all had the same bug (upset tummies to be polite!!). It did mean that I had some unexpected holiday time off work and got some crafting done. I made these gorgeous fimo heart buttons to add to my advent bunting and the larger heart for a card. I had been reading about adding texture to fimo shapes and remembered I had some heart stamps I had never used and thought I would try them out on this craft. I am not sure that the detail comes out but all the hearts have the word "Love" printed all over them.

The finished job |
The bible verse we are studying this week is Isaiah 53:5, which really seems to lend itself towards some Easter cards:
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
I read an interesting article on the Creative Girl blog this week, which was inspired by Hands Free Mama, about ensuring we are switched off from technology when the children are around rather than being switched off from them! This has formed our prayer for this week, that as we all feel better we will be able to spend some good time together, rather than just cuddled up under a duvet.
With God's blessings from my family to yours.
