Word Art and Almost Walking

I love creating things. I always have. Making music, beading necklaces, little craft projects to make people smile... I also love the scriptures. Now that I'm not in school I make time every morning to read and study and learn. I try to find verses that stand out to me, that touch my spirit. I think words, no matter where they come from, can be so powerful and uplifting.

This is the one that I made today. There are endless color combos you could do with this, and because it is simple, it can enhance a wall display. I love adding text to a group of photos, like I did with the one my SIL gave me for Christmas. (I posted a picture of it in my last post.) Word art is one of my newest favorite projects!

Also, Gummy Bear is VERY mobile. He loves to pull himself up on everything, and if you hold his hands he will walk and run everywhere. Lately he will try to walk while holding on to you with just one hand (although that is still very wobbly) and he is starting to get brave and let go of things for a moment or two to stand on his own. When he is happy he yells and chirps and squeals as he power-crawls all over the house. When he is crabby or upset, he will definitely let you know. He loves apple-cinnamon cheerios, and always scarfs down food as though we are starving him. We went to the temple this last Saturday, and while the other two mothers were just sitting with their babies, I kept getting up and chasing after GB. He is very, very ambitious and when older kids are running around and playing, you can see it in his face that he wants to play with them. It's as though he is a big kid trapped in a little kid's body. This week he will turn 8 months old. I love this little guy!
