Not a Card but Party Time Sour Cream Containers---Our 1st Year Blogaversary and Another Anything Goes Challenge at 613 Avenue Create!

Hi there, wonderful and crafty Peeps...It's been a less productive week for me since I was down sick for several days.  I realized that when I was laying in bed, I felt even sicker thinking how I was unable to accomplish anything.  It literally felt like time and everything around me was moving rapidly while I was standing still.  Truly an awful feeling plus the fact that I pretty much didn't have the appetite for anything.   I am grateful to the Lord for He heard my cry for help and gave me comfort and strength.  I know that Jesus conquered every sickness and diseases known to men 2000 years ago, even those that are still unknown.  Because of this knowledge, I expected the victory of Jesus to make manifest in my body at the time when I had very little strength.  Thank God, In His perfect time, I was physically restored.  I am very grateful to my little man and hubby who patiently helped and supported me when I could not do anything for them.  We made it through couple of days of freezing temps, all bundled up (I had 3 to 4 blankets more due to fever, chills, colds, coughing etc.) while the house became a mess and the chores piled up.  Hoping to get caught up soon...LOL The ever changing weather in Texas can be very physically challenging.  If you are affected by the recent extreme/cold weather and is down sick like I was this week, know who is in control of your spirit, soul and body.  If you have given your life to the Lord Jesus, know that He has your best interest.  Depend upon Him for protection, comfort, warmth, healing, provision---everything!  Yes, even the weather answers to Him!  Meditate on these verses as you go through any kind of sickness and diseases (in all aspects of life).  It's very comforting to know that you are not alone in the pain and suffering.  Jesus is with you every step of the way because He loves and cares for you:

"Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.  He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.  Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men."  (Psalm 107:19-21)

"To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. "He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth." When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed." (1 Peter 2:21-24)

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

Anyway, I had to take things easy still so, I created something simple yet wonderful for this week's inspiration  at our Anything Goes Challenge at 613 Avenue Create with an optional Twist of "Party Time."  We have several wonderful sponsors lined up because of our 1st Year Blogaversary and one of them is Vectoria Designs who graciously provided us with some wonderful digi papers and images to use for our projects.  I decided to make my favorite "Sour Cream Containers" by printing one of the digi papers available for us to use.  I filled it up with some Hershey's Chocolates and sealed it with my paper crimper.  I also printed some tickets from the images we were provided.  It was blank in the center so I was able to stamp some "party related" sentiments from my Inkadinkado stamps.  I cut each one out and attached them to the containers by using Making Memories Staples.  They turned out so cute...Love them and best of all, it didn't take me hours to make...LOL
