A Bundle of Blessings! {Too Cute Tuesday!}



Hi Tina!
 
So sorry it took me so long to get a pic of my girls with their precious dolls! They LOVE them! Molly (2 years) is the little girl on the left with the doll in turquoise. Kate is in the middle (1.5 years old) and Anne is in the orange (4 years old). Thank you so much! These dolls are great and so much fun. Take care!!!

In Christ,

About-- Graceful Baby Boutique was inspired by the birth of the my daughter Noemi Grace. Being our third, I didn't really need more "baby" things - really just wanted a few stylish accessories. Looking for a creative outlet, I pulled out my sewing machine and started making things that I would want to use.

Oh, how I can relate!  I enjoyed visiting her Etsy Store and have already bookmarked her site for future purchasing!!  Handmade gifts for those babies you love -PERFECT!

Seeds Family Worship + Baby be Blessed {yay free friday!}

....................................................................................................

UPDATE:  This giveaway is now closed.
Congratulations Holly McAllister Poyser + April Emery for winning our Giveaway this week!!

.....................................................................................................

I {LOVE} Seeds Family Worship!

I think its been about three years since I stumbled across their worship CDs.  What I love so much about them is that they take actual scripture and put it to music which makes it a wonderful way to remember and MEMORIZE the word of God! 

Seeds Family Worship has so graciously offered to donate one of The Character of God CDs to one of you!!  YAY!!

Their mission --Helping families know and love Jesus through God's Word.

ABOUT, The Character of God CD
The lyrics are God's own Word, straight from the ESV. It's the perfect way to sing, dance, and make a joyful noise unto the Lord, while planting His Word forever in your heart and mind.It's a Scripture-memory tool -- It's a CD full of fabulous music. It's both! Seeds combines songs that use Scripture for lyrics with strongly produced music that is varied in style to create a sound the whole family will love. Each song helps a child (and any adults in the vicinity) memorize one or more Bible verses from the ESV. This CD celebrates some of the incredible attributes of God. Recommended for all ages.

Songs include:
1. God is Creator (Genesis 1:1-3)
2. God is Holy (Isaiah 6:1-3)
3. God is Love (I John 4:16)
4. God is Light (I John 1:5,7)
5. God is Spirit and Truth (John 4:23-24)
6. God is Wise (Romans 11:33-36)
7. God is Faithful (I Corinthians 1-8:9)
8. God is Everlasting (Psalm 90:1-2)
9. God is Jealous (Exodus 20:3-5a)
10. God is Unchanging (Hebrews 13:8) Bonus Track - We Trust (Psalm 20:7)

credits
released 26 September 2012
*information taken from their website
 
And one last little tidbit about this wonderful ministry --"Buy one, give one We've taken inspiration from God's perfect plan for seeds dispersal and designed packaging intended to facilitate the spreading of Seeds. Each package of The Character of God album includes two identical full-length CDs. So simply tear the CD cover in half and share a complete packaged album with a friend nearby or far away. You get to take part in spreading Seeds--helping take God's Word to as many homes as possible." --Is that awesome or what?!
 
I encourage you to check out their website + of their wonderful worship albums of Scripture.  My children listen to Seeds Family Worship and I've used these CDs too many times to count within our Jr. Church classroom.  You will love them too!!
 
Let me know which is your favorite!!

Thursday Shop Update


YAY!  See what's new!!  CLICK HERE

Fullness of Joy


The past week has been full.  A good full like after that big Easter dinner, full.  And like after eating a good ol' Easter dinner....one could just crawl up on the couch, cover up with an afghan and take a good long afternoon nap!  And that is exactly how I felt yesterday after the kids went back to school!  =)

You can probably always tell on your end when I'm family busy on my end.  Things slow down a bit around Baby be Blessed.  The Shop updates get missed, facebook posts trickle out and the inbox is unopened for a couple of days.  For that I do apologize but it is the result of keeping God first and then my family second.  It's not a snub on my responsibilities on the doll front...it's just a shift in focus for a few days until the kids are back in school or a new routine smooths out a bit.

I praise God for each of you and thank you SO MUCH for the opportunity to fellowship with you as we make these dolls which proclaim His word! 

Through this Easter season, as I read again the great commission from Jesus to His disciples...it made me think of these handmade dolls going out to "all the nations".  May God use them to make disciples.  To encourage disciples and speak to all those who doubt.

  The Great Commission
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.  When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.   --NKJV
