Lent comes from the Anglo-Saxon word meaning Springtime.
Lent last 40 days, like when Moses was on the mountain and when Jesus was in the wilderness.
The color for lent is Purple, representing sorrow and repentance.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and goes through Easter.
Ashes were applied to Christians foreheads to represent humility and repentance.
Ex. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
It's the 40 bags in 40 days challenge.
What an awesome idea.
I was just talking with Nonny about Lent and this definitely sounds like something I am capable of doing.
Not only am I capable but I have been wanting to do something cleansing for a while so I am definitely in!
I can't wait to get finished with my next project. I have been tearing some perfectly good stuff up, which really stumps Mr. Wonderful.
More to come. . . . .
It's not a buffet, but it will have to do for now.
It's not beautiful yet, but I am working on it.
And. . . .
I liked the finish on this, but it has some splotches on it, so it is getting a makeover too.
I did go looking for my special buffet, but the one that I found was nice, but I just didn't LOVE it, so I decided I would be better off to wait for the perfect one.
But, don't worry, I have already told Mr. Wonderful that we are working on a project this week. (If I don't give him a time frame, things seem to get put off.)
So, I can't wait for you to see what we are gonna do.
I have been wanting a buffet for my dining room for a while now. We have had a huge hospice store that has recently opened and I have been by there searching for just the right one at just the right price.
I want to get something at a reasonable price, in case I mess it up.
I have seen so many great, great buffet makeovers on blogs that I am DYING to get started on one.
So this weekend I am on a mission, I am finding a buffet if it kills me.
Pray for me!
Take a look friend, I really did make a Valentine wreath!!!!
