Spring Blog Redecorating

Since spring hasn't quite sprung where I live, I thought I'd redecorate my blog so that at least it looked and felt bright and cheery!

In making my new header, I've used pictures that hopefully give a glimpse of who I am and what makes my heart sing :o)

• The Bible pages indicates not only my love for reading but more importantly, my personal relationship with my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
• The heart reminds me not only of my dear husband and our children, as well as our joint families, but also that I have been given a 2nd chance at life through the generosity of a heart donor family and the miracle of God's intervention.
• The quilt, made by my husband's maternal grandmother, shows my love of genealogy, ancestry and treasures of the past, all that has shaped my present.
  
• The Lennart Nilsson photo of an unborn baby shows my love of children and declares how I treasure the sanctity of life, which begins before birth.
• The lilac dishes and table setting remind me of family and the importance of a home that honours God. In our home, many conversations have centered 'around our table'.
  
• I love not only the visual beauty of flowers, but also their wondrous fragrances! Between the lovely dishes and table setting and flowers, it will be apparent that I treasure beauty in all forms.
  

I made the new header using my old PhotoPaint program with its grid tool and had to re-size several graphics and place them in their rightful positions. Fiddly work but I love doing it and seeing what I can come up with!
