I have been doing a lot of scrapbooking lately - both digital and especially paper. All the cutting and gluing and planning has made me want to get back to making my own cards. And what does one do when they want to start making cards again? They turn to Pinterest, of course. Here are …

Bags and Purses

On January 28, 2016 By mrsjschonIn Crafts4 Comments

I have a few crafting/sewing things that I'm passionate about. Buttons, as you know, is one. Another one is bags and purses. There are so many that are easy to make. You don't have to be intimidated at the thought of sewing a messenger bag. I'm going to show you some samples of what I've made …

Hidden Art – What is Hidden Art?

On January 27, 2016 By mrsjschonIn encouragementLeave a comment

I would define 'Hidden Art' as the art which is found in the 'minor' areas of life. By 'minor' I mean what is involved in the 'everyday' of anyone's life, rather than his career or profession. Each person, I believe, has some talent which is unfulfilled in some 'hidden area' of his being, and which …

A few years ago I was looking for a song for our small church choir to learn for an upcoming special meeting. I love to try new songs so I was just thumbing through the hymnal trying whatever caught my eye. It didn't take long for me to find this song. I fell in love …

Making a Kindle Cover

On January 19, 2016 By mrsjschonIn Crafts4 Comments

I may have mentioned a time or three how much I love my Kindle. I think it is one of my favourite gifts that my husband bought for me. I made a cover for that Kindle following a pattern that I found online, but for the last couple of years my brain has been perking …

I Am His And He Is Mine

On January 18, 2016 By mrsjschonIn encouragementLeave a comment

I was reading a missionary story to my children the other day - Evidence Not Seen - about a lady who spent World War II in a Japanese POW camp. After describing a scene of suffering she tells how her heart was reminded of the words of this hymn and the peace it gave her. …

Today is a special one in our family - there are three birthdays. My sister and I had babies on the same day. She had a little girl in the morning, and I had our Micah late the same night. My cousin's daughter was born on the same day but several years earlier. Cool, eh? …

Welcome to My Blogging Home

Hello, I’m Jennifer. I’m a recently widowed pastor’s wife with eight children. Nothing really prepared me for the wonder and chaos of being a mother to eight or for the agony of losing my best friend. I use this blog to keep myself organized and to hopefully be an encouragement to Intentional Simplicityyou as well.
