I have been using Motion box for my videos lately and I have heard some say the video skips /jumps & pauses while playing . I wanted you to know I will always add the You tube link so you can view the video there as well .
BUT Today I have uploaded a different way with Motion box Please let me know if it plays better for you and remember you can Click HERE to view on You tube .
Dawns Side Note : You tube is doing maintance on their site this morning so the you tube link will not work until the maintance is finished .
For my Sunday Share video I came across this young lady who made these videos I would like to share with you all today. She has 2 which I find very thought provoking so I will just add the 2 links Just click on the titles of her videos listed here WHAT IF and WORDS since I don't want to add to many videos on today's post I thought the links would be better.

Hi Stampers:
Today is a Great day so Let us rejoice and be glad in it !!
Today after church we are going to have a little pizza luncheon with my dearest friends Looking forward to our sweet time together we usually always go out to lunch But today we are staying at the church and hanging out there together.
Then after that Jessie and I are heading to a friend of Jessies ( Ethan ) His dad died this week and we are going to the showing this afternoon .
Last night we had our Stampers club meeting and Boy what a Fun time we had . The cards above were made for my Hostes Laura .
Check out the video highlights of our get together last night HERE . There were a total of 14 gals stamping last night .(We Missed you Kristen & Kelsey )
This past Thursday I lost heat in my home .. Yes I paid my gas bill :) Hee! Hee! I have been noticing for awhile that my furnace has not been kicking on like it should ( I would make excuses of course ) and well Thursday was the day It didn't kick on all day and with the temps out side at -12 degrees and wind chill at -15 It really should have been running alot of the day ,
So when Rich called and I was sharing my concern and he said Just call the service guy I really knew I should have done that along time ago But it is something that is very reassuring when your hubby encourages you to call~ ya know so I called and the guy came out that evening and sure enough I had a censor which was dirty a quick cleaning and it is up and running perfectly Praise GOD!!
Here is a awesome song by Chris Rice
" Go light your world "
Love this song ..The Holy Spirit is what lights our candle and will burn brightly if you let it . Reminds me of the Childs song "This little light of mine "
Since it's Dawns Sunday share ~ I have been wanting to ask all of you a question for sometime now Plus what kind of Friend would I be if I didn't ask you .
Here is the important question.
Are you going to Heaven ? Click HERE

Here is how I made the Top note die card
I cut a piece Whisper white at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2 " folded card and laid the folded card on top of the top note die Just a little tiny bit below the top note die cut line sent through the big shot TA DA a top note card So easy and cute ..
For the front of my card I used my paper piercer tool and punched 2 tiny holes on either side of my sucker and added the Red Gingham Ribbon #104827 to hold in place .

Update on my Mom's Wrist ..
She has been in PT now for over 2 weeks and doing good still finds it hard to turn things like door knobs , turn the key to start her truck , Plus she is feeling pickeys ( thats what she calls it ) in her wrist NOT all the time But every once in awhile and always in the same place ...
The PT lady says thats her nerves that were cut when her surgery was done . so needless to say Its going to be journey for my Moms wrist to get back to "normal " But we are confident that she is on the right road. Her PT is getting harder, But that's always a good sign ..
Here is a Awesome video for you today sang by Carrie Underwood ( Remember her winning American idol ?) called "How Great thou Art". I love this song and Love Carrie singing it ( gives me goose bumps every time I hear her sing this song ) . I love this song because it mentions the Creation , The birth and death of Jesus Christ and His return one day . OH what a Marvelous Day that will be ... This song sang by Carrie is AMAZING!! I hope it Blesses you as much as it does me each time I hear it .
Thanks for stopping by today & have a Fabulous Sunday !
Until later... Happy Stampin!!
Thank you
