This week on my podcast, author Stephenie Hovland talks about how she changed her mindset about Christmas from “If you can’t do it all, do more” to a more balanced approach. We also discussed how we can prepare now for the necessary celebration changes in a pandemic.
Stephenie is giving away a copy of her Advent devotional booklet “Hark the Herald Angels Sing: Daily Prayers for Advent,” which is inspired by “It’s a Wonderful Life.” To enter, comment below with the title of your favorite Christmas movie. Share the post to your page to get a second entry.
I’ll draw one name randomly at 8 pm CT on Monday, Nov. 23 so you can get your booklet in time for Advent.

I hung part of my great-grandfather's crib on the wall to use to display photos of our family. But I'm trying to decide on what to do with the top part. I'm honored to have been a guest this week on the Halfway There Podcast with @EricNevins. I talked about some of the story of how my trash-to-treasure fanaticism turned into a blog, a book, and a LIfe, Repurposed brand. Michelle Rayburn and Growing in Christ - Eric Nevins - ericnevins.com Trash to treasure decorating friends, I have a writing opportunity to share! Submissions for Compilation Book www.faithcreativitylife.com My family has a strong Dutch heritage, so my dad rewired the lamp that once stood on the dresser in my childhood bedroom, and I gave it a new shade from Target. Sometimes an update doesn't have to be dramatic. 
Option A: Create a pendant garland from paper.
Option B: Create a wood slice garland with chalkboard paint on each slice.
Bonus question: What should I put on the garland for a phrase? (One letter on each pendant or wood slice, so it has to be short)
I still love the before and after decorating photos, but this really shares my heart!
