I'm no Bezalel - but check it out anyway

Imagine my delight last night when during the course of our Bible reading I made the surprising discovery that one can have the spiritual gift of making crafts!! Who knew? But there it was - right in Exodus: "...I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of crafts - to make artistic designs..." Exodus 31:1-4 Oh Bezalel - must be so great to be you! All of this to say - such a gift has not been imparted to me. However... I do love to pretend that I am some kind of a Bezalel. Crafting makes me a bit giddy. Some of my crafting creations - most assuredly - appear to be the creations of someone between the ages of 2 and 5 - but that does not take away from the joy I get in the process. My latest endeavor? - A little bit of decoupaging. Isn't that a fun word? Decoupage, decoupage, decoupage. Say it - it's fun! Annnywayyyyy... I digress. So, I started out with some square pieces of wood that my hubby cut out for me - just some old scraps he had in his garage. Noe "helped" me get my project started with some painting fun. Then we had to wait for them to dry. The following day we Mod Podged (using Mod Podge as a verb - getttin' all kinds of crazy) some scrapbook paper onto them. Watch out for the Mod Podge. It can be addictive. After a little magic from the cricut - and hittin' the Mod Podge again (of course) we, once again, had to wait for everything to dry. The next day I did some sanding - for a bit of a distressed look - and voila - the first decorations to hang on or "new" bedroom wall. Would Bezalel have come up with some thing more beauteous - undoubtedly. Am I satisfied with the finished product - most definitely!
