OK- well, here's the deal- Last Sunday in Church they preached on Matt. 25 and the “parable of the talents”. At the end of the service they gave each person (who wanted to participate in a stewardship challenge) a $100 bill with this assignment – over the next three months, take this talent ($100) and see if you can multiply it for the Lord. At the end of the service they gave away over $16,000! We were encouraged to be creative and work hard with “the Masters” money.
SO---long story short, I offered to make these ASK frames and sell them for $12 each (all money going to the church) - said I would individualize if they wanted. Well this one is for a man and just doesn't seem nearly as good as the original! What have I gotten myself into?....I'd love opinions, and suggestions!

I think it is absolutely wonderful - what a creative way of using the money to give back to the Lord. I am sure each one you make will be a blessing to you and to those who receive it. One of the reasons I love Stamping so much is that I can be praying for the person who will receive my card as I make it. It's a blessing I receive.

I think that this is really nice, I don't see ANYTHING wrong with it. Don't be so hard on your self. What a neat thing to do. I will pray that the Lord uses your talent and that He multiiplys your money. TFS

Scheli--
Don't be so hard on yourself! This is lovely and you made it so appropriate for a man's domain! Don't let the Evil One hinder your joy in doing the Lord's work! You've done a great job. I only hope I can do half as well when I case it!
