V is for Values
Season's Greetings! Advent is a season of expectancy and preparation for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is observed by many Christians prior to Christmas. As a celebrant of the latter, I vow to keep in mind the very virtuous values addressed in Galatians 5:22-23.

ReplyDelete"Candle of Preparation", Preparation means to 'get ready'. "Help us to be ready to welcome You, O God!" (Luke 3:4-6)
Lovely art work, and your sitting room looks so festive and inviting. Enjoy a great week, Chris # 13
ReplyDeleteHi Arnoldo, Lovely cards. I'm betting they are your feet, you look far too relaxed, make the most of it, I'm sure you will be busy again soon!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Angela x 45
Hi Arnoldo, you are looking very comfy, guessing they are your feet. You had better make the most of it as I am sure you will soon be busy again.
ReplyDeleteLove the card designs too. Happy crafting, Angela x 45
Beautiful cards. I particularly like the first and third ones. And it's good to read something out of the Bible today; haven't read anything from the Holy Book in forever. Thanks for including the verse in your post.
ReplyDeleteHello Arnoldo, your blogpost is so full of goodness and honest art. I love the little snowmen place cards on their wine-corks and your lovely snowman on the card rejoicing - I hope it stays cold enough for him to enjoy it a while.
ReplyDeleteAlso love your shepherd with all the techniques you used to make him - the grass, the sky, the writing and the dear little sheep.
There's no place like home, yes, and your home looks to be a lovely warm place.
Happy PPF and Happy PPWeekend.
Lovely projects! My attention is specially drawn to those cute place cards. such a cool idea using corks to have them stand up!
ReplyDeleteCheers

Love this season...Great to see everyone's celebration styles. Happy Holidays♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/two-versions/
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely that time of year! Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love all the pieces you've shared in this post, Arnoldo. I really don't know if people realize when they visit your blog that your art is not made up of stamped and digital images, but rather, creations of your own hands. It always amazes me what you can do with your hands. You are truly blessed of God with the amazing talent He has given you, and I'm SO grateful for very piece of art you share with us.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you always!

What a great post, Arnoldo! Yes, faithfulness, gentleness and self control in everyone would change the world. Even if it were not everyone, but a large percentage, there would be such an improvement. I hope you and your family will enjoy the blessings of the holy season.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! Glad to see you with your feet up even if only for a second - you seem like you are so busy with all that you do. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI love that bottom photo so much... your tree is beautiful and of course your place cards are adorable... where do you find the time to be so organised... I need to come and visit and take lessons...xx
ReplyDeleteRejoice, rejoice, again I say rejoice. It's the season of the Birth of Jesus.

It's been so long since I have participated - but it's always so nice to come to your blog - I felt like I was visiting your home. I loved all your work - especially the mixed media Jesus and the lamb. I have been re-reading Deitrich Bonhoeffer's writings on Advent - mostly from his time in a German prison. His writings are really speaking to my heart and helping me to "celebrate" the time of waiting.
ReplyDeleteLovely festive artwork, the snow men are gorgeous. The last photo is my favourite. Feet up and a beautiful Christmas tree, ah bliss. Have a wonderful Christmas and see you next year.
