Where Inspiration Took Me

Now that Mother's Day dinner, gifts, and phone calls are a thing of the past and Mother's Day 2013 is but I memory, I have had a few moments to settle into the quiet which has brought me to fully reflect on my mother and of course how much I miss her and missed spending Mother's Day with her.

I posted earlier of a new blog I had been looking through; it got my creative juices flowing again and that combined with the thoughts of my mom brought me to creating a trading card in her honor. I was going to wait and share it with the other trading cards for the month of June, but I couldn't wait.

May I present "Mother's Day Roses".

Can you tell I'm pleased with how it turned out? Yes, that's a photo of my mom as a young girl in the center of that rose. I couldn't resist making two, one to trade and one to keep.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Your trading cards are so pretty. You have some excellent "creative juices" running through you. Too bad you can't share some. I never did have any. :)

Welcome

to Maestoso Grazioso.

Maestoso Grazioso are musical terms that mean "with majesty and grace". "I am a daughter of the King who is not moved by the world because my King is with me and goes before me. I do not fear because I am His".

I'm here to share how God is leading in my life, spend time with friends and perhaps make some new ones. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, homemaker, sister, friend, church organist and piano/organ teacher. My favorite past-times are, playing the church organ, teaching piano and organ, scrapbooking, card making, artist trading cards and of course, blogging.

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Phl 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
II Chronicles 5:13-14 The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang:
“He is good; his love endures forever.”
Then the temple of the Lord was filled with the cloud, 14 and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others. Don't ask God to guide your footsteps if you are not willing to move your feet. ~ Audrey Hepburn
