12 year old decorating.

Owl Decor

If you didn’t know, I love owls and I love birds.  Not real ones, the real ones actually kind of freak me out.  I will scream like a little girl if one flies close to me.  Buttttttt the pretend ones!?!?  Yes. love.  My sweet friend Tracie gave me this awesome owl set in such a sneaky way!  I had left some flip flops at her house and she returned them in a bag.  When I took the bag I thought the flip flops weighed a little bit more than they should, but whatever.  I carelessly threw the bag on the bench and went about my day.  When I finally emptied the bag, I found three new little friends that I instantly fell in love with!

Where could I display my new little pretend feathered friends where I would see them all the time!?!?

My friend wrote a book! and a giveaway!!

journels tracie

This is my friend Tracie.  I like her a lot.  She wrote a book about forgiveness and I think you should read it.

31 Days of Forgiveness 2

This is her book, 31 Days of Forgiveness {through the eyes of grace}.  I would love to give 31 Days of Forgiveness  a beautifully written review, one it truly deserves, however words and writing are not my gifts.  I will do my best and try to do this awesome book justice.   This book is awesome (see I already used the word awesome twice in the first paragraph)!!

Honestly I started reading this book with the attitude, I don’t have anyone to forgive.  I have been blessed with good people in my life.  Not a lot bad has happened to me.  Now people who have had a loved one killed by a drunk driver, a marriage broken by infidelity, or someone who has been abused, those are the people who are going to have to decide if they want to forgive or not.  But what about bitterness, resentment, and anger?  Yep unfortunately I can relate to those.  Sometimes I tell a person I forgive them but inside I’m still holding on to that grudge.  The grudge only hurts me.  This book really opened my eyes and I learned a lot about forgiveness and myself.

 If you want to lead a physically and spiritually healthier life this is a great book to read.  If you want a deeper, stronger relationship with God, this is a great book to read.  I will never look at forgiveness the same or take it so lightly.

31 Days of Forgiveness {through the eyes of grace} changed the way I look at forgiveness.

Also Allllll proceeds of 31 Days of Forgiveness will go to The Seed Company.  Today, nearly one-third of the world’s language groups, representing 350 million people, are still waiting for God’s Word in a language they can understand clearly.  The Seed Company enables you to support local Bible Translators as they make God’s message available in the language of their people.

Elf on the shelf

Thank goodness it’s the 24th.  I’m allllll out of ideas!  I got nothing left!

This cracked me up and made me laugh out loud!!!  Do you know how many nights I woke up at 3:00 am with a jolt remembering the elf hadn’t been moved!!!  But oh how the kiddos love him.

  Merry Christmas from the Statzer gang!!!  Yes this is as close to Christmas cards that I got this year!  Oh who am I kidding, I never send out Christmas cards!!!! I hope you and your family have a Christmas full of love and laughter, peace and joy.

Please meet me back here January 1 for a year full of trash to treasure projects, easy do it yourself tutorials, and lots of laughs!  

Colossians 3:15– Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Merry Christmas and lots and lots of love!  xoxoxo Angela
