Where are those Ruby Red Slippers anyway? Is there anywhere as great as home? A home is not at all the same thing as a house. A house is just a building; you can house freight, you can house chemicals, & you can house people. A house may offer you physical shelter but a home is the only place to find emotional and spiritual shelter.
I love spending time with my family in our home and l love taking the time to make our home warm and inviting. I don't know how many natural gifts or talents I have but I do know that creating through the homemaking arts, as they called it when I was in Highschool, is one of the most personally enjoyable activities for me. The memories that I have made with my girls, my friends (such as the day Melinda Smith and I broke china into little pieces to make mosaic stepping stones; you just gotta love trial and error) my nieces and with my sisters; Elaine and I especially had so many good times, baking, sewing, crafting and scrapbooking. She was the most talented person I think I ever knew in so many ways. I swear she could sew anything, and just had a knack for putting things together. Caitlyn is a lot like her that way.
For too long I stifled that part of me because I let the hassles of the world take over, well No More. It is an essential part of women to create and beautify. It speaks directly to the soul and makes the home environment so much more pleasant. It makes a House a HOME :)
A side note: A great book for inspiring this side of you is called
The Spirit of Loveliness
by Emily Barnes
