CHACB Challenge #1: What's Your Style?
Our very first challenge at Craft Hoarders Anonymous is to share a project that showcases your signature style. Dig into your hoard and pull out items that make you shout with crafty joy! Whip up something that has your creative name all over it. Do you, because no one is "youer" than you! And one talented participant will receive a prize for their work donated by Gloria Stengel Designs. 
You have one week remaining to prepare and submit your project by linking up at the CHAC Blog.
The deadline for linking up is Sunday, Jan. 16 at midnight PST.
From the Stash
The challenge is to craft a project that best represents your own style. It took me a couple of tries to find the real me. When I took the first card in to show my beloved husband (and he truly is!), he looked a bit perplexed and said, "This is different. It's not your usual style." So, besides the Lord, there is someone who knows me better than I know myself! :-) Back to the crafting table. .and came out with this, which met with my Beloved's approval: it's me! Or more accurately, it's my style! So thankful to the Lord for my godly and wise husband!I am also thankful for God's Word and the sustaining power of His Holy Spirit, made possible because of the work of our Lord Jesus Christ! I am thankful for His sustenance in the daily things of life, including life itself. Yet that all pales in comparison to how He sustains my soul, and will throughout all eternity! Thankful that my place is secured not by my work, but by His and that I am preserved in grace, not by my grip, but by His!
That's my style. Now it's your turn to show yours!
