Alpha Course at Markham Woods Presbyterian

Okay! My husband and I did it...we actually survived the many weeks of Alpha at Markham Woods Presbyterian. I must say that I think my husband got more from this experience than I did, (if that's possible) but I took in a great deal, learned new things, and met some GREAT people in the process. I learned things about God and Christianity that I never understood as well as opened doors to new concepts that I still have questions about. Pastor Joe was a great leader in our small group sessions and I was in awe of my husband as he opened up in front of complete strangers ( no- you don't have to, but it was a wonderful feeling to hear his thoughts for once). I became a little closer to him (even though he may not realize it) in the process and I am excited to continue my passage on this new journey in life. We are celebrating our experience and time together Tues. Nov 3rd as well as kicking off a new alpha session for the spring of 2010.
If you are interested or in the least bit curious as to what ALPHA is all about, just check out the link and read! It was awesome and I hate that it is coming to an end....

  Here you can see how the paper is crimped...   So all these images keep coming to mind on what kind of quilling-inside-an-ornament I can fathom up now.  Hmmmm.....done this, what about this kind of thing!  Well, I'm having a lot of fun trying out different projects and seeing what and how I can fit things inside those tiny little openings on the DIY ornaments.  This time I was thinking hard about a Christmas tree and how I could put it together inside the ornament and how I could decorate it.  Well, here are some pictures of my thought process and how it came about.  Sincere thanks again to Charlotte Canup of The Art of Quilling  of whom I purchased the pattern to make a snowflake inside an ornament.  She inspired me to go crazy with the desire to see what else I could try! Here I am rolling it with the quilling tool.   Here I've shaped them into squares...   It really is put together inside this flat plastic ornament!!! T...
