In the world that we now live in it is so easy to feel like we are running to keep up. I am involved in a lot of activity, but really I have been stepping back and evaluating what I am actually doing and if I am accomplishing anything that will be lasting. I wear a lot of hats, but I have been taking a few of them off that I have found unnecessary to wear. The last thing I want at the end of the day is to have a day wasted doing something that I should not have been participating in and my energy all spent. It is very easy to become discourage when what you are doing is much larger than what you perceived it would be when going into it. Honestly, however, that is usually how I know that I am on the right path. I also know I am on the right path if I am actually enjoying my walk even though it may be difficult. Also I can feel confident about my path when I know that I am being led and not driven. A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. www.biblegateway.com Life is challenging and the journey may be a little or even a lot difficult at times, but if everything was so easy that I could do it strictly on my own, then I personally believe that it may have just been a good idea and not a “God Idea!.” When you think of how we actually come into the world, it is with struggle, babies struggle to make their way out of the womb and that mother labors to bring that baby into the world! So as I journey, fall and get back up over and over again, I learn. I am being changed into who I really am! I have failed many times when trying to accomplish these larger things of purpose, but the most important thing is to “GET BACK UP!” Regardless of how many times you feel like you have tried, if you know that the Lord is in it, just be encouraged to Walk On!
Moonlight Bay!

Creative Juices are Flowing!
26 JunDon’t you just wish sometimes that you could just stop everything and do the thing you love to do? Well for brief periods of time, I’ve been able to get the old creative juices flowing and try some new painting techniques and new subjects that I normally would never have tried! Love the time spent on the following pieces as they represent lessons learned from each painting!

Can Anybody Relate?

painted canvases, I have painted all of these paintings this week! …Gotta get out of my comfortable place in order to grow as an Artist, but even more
importantly being stretched to grow as a person!

Suzy Homemakers At it Again! My Recipes for Homemade Fabric Softner!
15 Apr
DISCLAIMER< THIS IS WHAT WORKS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD< I AM MAKING NO PROMISES< AM NOT PAID TO SELL PRODUCTS OR ANYTHING ELSE, THIS IS MEANT ONLY TO GIVE OPTION AND IS MERELY A RECCOMMENDATION BASED ON WHAT I LIKE!
Yay, So very Simple and Absolutely Wonderful!
- Recipe for Homemade Fabric Softner Using Essential Oils sorta of all Natural which I like!
Pour White Distilled Vinegar in an empty 2 liter bottle
Add as much Pure Essential Oils as you wish of any scent that you wish.
I actually added about 5 drops of pure Essential Lavendar Oil which scented it more than enough
for our family.
I then shook it up to evenly mix it.
Pour 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup into each load on the rinse cycle…
Your clothes will come out feeling so soft and will be static free!
The Natural recipe works wonderfully by itself, however there is another option!
depending on how organic or natural you want to go!
2. Recipe for Fabric Softner using White Vinegar and Hair Conditioner
The first time I even made Homemade Fabric Softener using White Vinegar this was the recipe I used!
6 cups white vinegar
1 bottle of hair conditioner, whatever fragrance you love
4 cups of water
Mix all the ingredients together, again I use a recycled 2 liter bottle and shake before each use.
I use approximately 1/2 cup in rinse cycle and clothes smell great and are soft. The conditioner
will settle to the bottom or float to the top, so the fabric softener has to be shaken with each use.

Yay! Feeling like I’ve Got Somethings Accomplished!
5 AprHello All, It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged so I missed really taking the time and doing it! I have been a little busy bee lately and it is wonderful but takes me away from my blog at times.
This is my “Something” that I’ve gotten accomplished!
I have had my latest Adult Ficion book, Tell the Enemy to Scat on an Ebook since July 2012, but I wanted to do a paperback version to take do booksignings with ! Which by the way I have a huge event coming up On April 13th as per the following: Everyone is Invited!
Neva Lomason Library Book Festival will be hosting local Author Christine Gilliam Hornback along with 30 plus other authors as she speaks and signs her Juvenile Fiction books entitled Jenny Lynn’s Secret Mission and Caleb’s Cereal. Christine will have her new book entitled Tell the Enemy to Scat as well! Come out and support local Authors and your local Library. 710 Rome Street Carrollton, Ga 30117, ph (770)836-6711
I also was able to finish all the edits on my Audio book from my latest Juvenile Fiction Caleb’s Cereal! Below is a sample of the audio from Amazon.com which I thought was so COOOOL!
Finally I’ve been teaching painting lessons to a couple groups of children and adults. I’ve been doing a Sip-N-Stroke painting class usually the 2nd Saturday of each month. I also teach at the GMKS and Beyond Arts Center in Douglasville, Ga every Thursday, and then at a homeschool group on Monday’s so Yay!
My normal days of course include taking care of my husband of 32 years, and raising 2 boys ages 12 and 8 and getting them homeschooled. Have you ever tried to feed two growing boys?????It is a full time job, believe me! I love my life, GOD is so very good to me and my family….Looking forward to walking through some long awatied doors that he has just recently been opening! So Yay! Today is my celebration of getting somethings accomplished!
