I have been saying that I really really wanted some, so finally yesterday I took the plunge! I was given a gift card by my Bible study girlfriends, so I used that to purchase a half a dozen markers to give 'em a whirl and see what all the buzz is about. You can tell that I really don't know what I'm doing yet, but I'm having a good time tryin'!This little fella is one of the cute mini stamps that were recently added to the inventory at Treehouse Stamps. He just cracks me up! Love that Basic Grey dp too!
On another note...today is Epiphany, and in our household that means King Cake! I've got one started already, although this picture is the one I made last year, along with last year's Epiphany cards (made in lieu of Christmas cards). You can tell it is one ooey gooey sugary concoction! There is a lot of history and symbolism behind this tradition. If you're interested in learning more, let me know in your comment and I'll send you the recipe and some interesting folklore.
Epiphany is all about Light and enlightenment. I love the thought that when the light shines, that which would be hidden is revealed, and that the light always overcomes the darkness. What fabulous imagery our God gives us to help us understand His ways and His Word! Epiphany blessings!
