Focusing on Beauty

I've been taking sometime for myself and focus on things that are beautiful. I've been needing something to keep my mind clear and gave myself a purpose during this time healing. I am thankful that I healed very quickly and can honestly say that I feel like I am physically back to normal, except for my emotions. Yesterday and today have been a bit off. I would get a burst of anger, bitterness, resentful at things that shouldn't have bothered me. I would cry and spill my guts out over the littlest things. I feel like I'm crazy! My poor husband is at lost as he doesn't know how to console this emotional wife and probably still a bit hormonal too. Please pray for him!!

So, this is the list of 28 things I would like to do, make, or fix in 28 days of February. I want to bless my family and friends with my projects, but I know all of these will bless my heart even more. I want the Lord to inspire me through beauty and purpose. These are done in no particular order. Just whatever comes my way and time I have available to do them. I am so excited!!

I got this thing of Modge Podge and exacto knife since I was a senior in college. It's so good to see them both again!

Decorating Clothes Pegs (purchased at Walmart and I can't remember how much for a package) with Scrapbooking Paper I got on Clearance (6/$1.00). Here's where I got the idea to make these beautiful things!!
I'm going to add magnet strips to the back of the pegs to hold pictures or Allison's art work on our Fridge. She's quite an Artist in the Making!
