I'm so excited!! I just opened my very first Etsy shop!!! I do not really know what to expect but am leaving it all in the Lord's hands. My goal for the shop is to offer items at a low price to hopefully get lots of sales so that I can send a gospel tract to everyone who orders from me. The gospel tract clearly states the gospel of Jesus Christ and how to accept Him as your Savior. If you know of anyone who may be interested in my Etsy shop, please pass on my information to them. http://www.etsy.com/shop/ForHisGloryCompany
This is a link to my shop. Currently, I am selling American Girl doll clothes and matching hair bows for doll, a extra large hair bow for a little girl that has "Jesus Loves Me" monogrammed on it, monogrammed ribbon for the person who wants to make their own hair bows, and FOE hair ties/bracelets.
Thank you so much for helping me get the gospel message out!
Love,
Staci

Ruffles, ruffles, ruffles!!!
I LOVE ruffles! It uses lots and lots of fabric to make ruffles, but I am thrilled with the outcome of this little ruffle skirt! The fabrics are from the designer MODA. I love them! Oh, and of course I had to make her American Girl Doll a skirt from the fabric also! AND of course the little princess needs a BIG HAIR BOW!!! ;)

FOE Hair Tie Tutorial
Ok, seriously y'all, these hair ties have to be the easiest hair accessory to make of all time. No kidding!!! The most difficult part about it is finding the FOE(Fold Over Elastic), but if you are used to purchasing online then no problemo! The best place that I have found to purchase it is on Etsy. It usually is about 90 cents a yard on Etsy (for chevron FOE- that is my favorite!!!)
So, here's what you need...
•FOE (Fold Over Elastic)
•Scissors
•Tape measure (or ruler)
•Lighter
Yep, that's it!!
Ok, on to the directions...
1.) Start by laying out your FOE in a straight line, lining it up with your tape measure.
2.) Next, cut the FOE to the size you prefer (usually anywhere from 10 inches to 11 1/2 inches.) I like to cut my FOE at 10 1/2 inches because it fits comfortably around my wrist when I'm not wearing it in my hair ;) and I think it holds my hair well at that size. But you can play around with it to best fit your hair type and wrist size.
3.) Use a lighter to heat seal the ends of the FOE.
4.) Fold the FOE in half.
5.) Now tie a knot towards the open end of the folded piece if FOE. You will have to work with it when you are tightening the knot to get it where you want it.
You're done!! Woohoo!!! See! The very easiest DIY hair accessory of all time!! Enjoy, friends!! :)

My Personal Goals
I thought I would write about a couple of my personal goals. I know that when I read people's blogs, I like to feel like I am getting to know the person who is writing the blog. So, I want to share my heart with my readers so that you can get to know me a little better. I love the Lord with all my heart. He gives us very clear direction in His Word about how to live our lives. Here are three scripture reflecting my personal goals.
Matthew 28: 19-20 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Matthew 13:9 "Who hath ears to hear, let him hear."
Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
With much love,
Staci

Home made laundry detergent!
Yay!!! Today, I made our first HOME MADE laundry detergent!!! I am soooo excited!!! They say the cost averages out to be .01 per load of laundry!! Oh my!! You can't beat that!!! Now I have to let it sit over night and then blend it up tomorrow and put it in the container. You only use 1/2 cup per load. I'm excited to see if it works well. I found the recipe for the detergent here http://frugallygreen.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-make-your-own-laundry-soap.html?m=1
Here is a picture of the end result. I bought the container at Walmart for about $20. You don't have to do this, you can just save some empty laundry detergent bottles and store it in those.
