Living Life as Prayer --Canvas

Getting ready 

 to lead a Women's retreat next weekend.

  Nothing makes me feel more unprepared,

 then to lead others,

 when I often feel like I move blindly.

 So it is only then that can I step out.  

You, Dear Lord, will give the gifts,

 fashion the words together 

 that may bless your people.

 Praying for those attending-

 that your Word may work alive in the hearts

 of those who will be coming to be together

 in community.

A canvas with the retreat theme-

Doors into Prayer----

 and my heart theme-

  Living Life as Prayer.

Tissue paper from a new pair of my husband's shoes.

  great background color

old Ideals magazines for layers,

 stencil paints, stamping on more tissue paper

 vintage buttons,

crochet flowers (Michael's)

and the beautiful crochet hanging piece

 from my friend Jan-

And cut put pieces from

 Pottery Barn catalogs with the Sizzix die

 printed up Living Life as Prayer

 on the computer

Added some pulled burlap strings to dangle on the sides

 and Mod Podge covers all with love
