Less is More!

We had Art Ministry again last night at Veronica's and the theme was flowers. We had two more sisters with us, Sulma and Terri, and it was lots of fun. We listened to music and gabbed like girlfriends instead of talking about Scripture and the Lord. Sometimes that is what He wants us to do - to get together and enjoy each other's company.

OK, so Veronica gave us free reign of all the things in her condo (again, a mini-Michael's) and I chose to pounce on Terri's contribution of her mom and grandma's old jewelry. This is what I got: a floral encrusted bouquet that looks like something one would hang in a little girl's room. It has pink and black, two color combos I love, so how could I go wrong? Anytime there's pink, there's beauty, and I know Veronica would agree, since she is a pink fanatic.

Today, I looked at my picture and thought it was too overdone, so I ripped off some of the embellishment on the side (or "encrusting" as I fondly call it), which left me with this final product. I was reminded of the old saying, especially when it comes to accessorizing and decorating, "less is more." Of course, this holds no weight when it comes to chocolate, money, or even the Lord Jesus!

This is what Sulma, Veronica, Brooke and Terri did, in that order. Aren't they beautiful? I love all of them! God has blessed all of us with amazing talents!

You are right, there are lots of instances where less is more. But when it comes to pink more is more and you can't have too much! :)
It's such a blessing to have you guys over to hang out and worship and just be together. It always leaves me in awe of how crafty God is when it comes to making people and blessing them-we all have very fundamental things in common yet we each have our peculiarities! It's pretty awesome :)
