In this episode of our annual Patriotic VBS we are continuing to look at the Preachers who united the Colonist on the idea of independence for religious freedom which was the stepping stone to the War of independence so we can thank the preachers who preached the truth of God's Word because without them we would not the America we have known. Our last night of the VBS program we re-enacted the first battle of the Revolutionary War that took place in Lexington, Massachusetts. It happened on church property led by Preacher Jonas Clark. We finish off the week with a fireworks display which is our tradition at Forest Hills Baptist Church of Hartsville, SC Our VBS Program is designed for the whole family to learn about American History because good Christians will produce good Patritots Time Stamps: 0:00 Opening Rally 1:55 Epic Rendition of The Star Spangled Banner by Dinesh De'Souza 2:07 Three pledges 5:02 Penny March 8:47 Memory Verse practice and review 10:35 Main Skit "The Shot The Was Heard Around the World" 32:10 Preacher's wrap up of opening rally 33:41 Adult Class Lesson on Shubal Sterns 1:01:14 Pastor's Final Wrap Up 1:03:3:21 Final Song with Fireworks Display "I'm Proud to Be An American" The Costumed Character's Scripts were written by Debra Carmona based on historical records If you would like to Thank me for bringing you good creative content pleased use the Thank you button below the video to say so with a cash gift.

With this dollhouse project I am challenging myself to not spend any money on it but to only use materials I have around the house. Since I am an artist and a crafter I do have ample supply of materials around me. This video is an introduction of a new series on my channel with the Doll House genre. I will be uploading short but detailed tutorials on how to do specific tasks from building the house, finishing it inside and out, to making all the furnishings and accessories including curtains, rugs, pillows, blankets, lamps, and kitchen tools. This will be a fun journey as we make a dollhouse together. Perhaps you would like to make one for your daughter, niece, or grand-daughter as a Christmas or birthday gift. Handmade gifts are always the most appreciated. This project is not expensive as most of the supplies you may already have. During this time when all the prices are going up I wanted to show you that it is possible to make a dollhouse out of affordable and easy to access materials so that you can do it yourself. So, come along with me as we relive our second childhood and lose ourselves in the imaginary world of a dollhouse.

On our third annual Patriotic VBS we are endeavoring to continue teaching early American history. 2021 episodes are covering the Black Robed Regiment or the Preachers who fueled the Revolutionary War. Most people do not know the real history of America and the events that led up to the Revolutionary War. In this Patriotic VBS Program we taught about the preachers and how they unified the colonists on the idea of religious liberty. The preaching of the Word of God inspired the people to fight for their freedom to worship God in their own way. It was also a battle to stop the state from forcing "their religion" on the people as a means of control. On the first night we looked at three preachers Roger Williams, Jonathan Edwards and Issac Buckus. Without the preachers we would have not had The Revolutionary War nor would we have gained our freedom. The adult class message is abbreviated in this video. If you would like to see the full message please go to our church's YouTube channel Forest Hills Baptist Church of SC Link to that message below is https://youtu.be/Q03spTtgqBs I wrote all the scripts for each of the characters although my pastor was the one who chose this years theme of the Black Robed Regiment because he loves American history as I do. We worked together to choose the characters for our VBS program. I recruited the people to role play the characters and provided them their costumes plus organized the program.

This is a faithful narrative of the facts that I have gathered over the years from different family members piecing together the story of my mother’s life. It has taken many years to learn the whole story and there are still things not known and not understood. Although her life did not accomplish a great deal her life is still valuable especially to me as she gave me life of which I am most thankful for. This video is more personal than I like to get on the public stage but I felt compelled to share it in hopes to communicate that every life has value and that we can rise above the hard circumstances we are given in life. We do not have to stay in those circumstances but we can learn from them. Although this story is somber I do hope it inspires you to rise to greatness no matter where you came from or who your parents are.

When getting into card making, after a while you start collecting all sorts of different cut outs. Sometimes it is a good idea to just play and combine cuts from different sets to see what you can make. I discovered that I could make paper flower wreaths so in this video I show you how I go about doing that. Wreaths are great on sympathy cards of to cheer someone up.

In this video I am once again using the StampinUp BIRCH wood stamp with another technique to create a new Lighthouse scene. I will be showing how to paint a scene with watercolor paints. Parts of the painting is sped up to shorten the video but I explain the process to help you understand it. I am using watercolor paper cut 4" x 5 1/4". The stamped image is printed with waterproof ink so that it does not bleed when I use watercolor paints. The finished card is 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" The lighthouse is colored with markers off camera because I show how to do that in a previous video.
