DIY “Call Granny” Sign
I had SO much fun creating this DIY “Call Granny” sign to honor the baby’s great-grandmother at an upcoming baby shower. Yes, you can make one, too. I’ll tell you how! The best part is that it can be painted in colors of your choosing and embellished any way you’d like. Materials, Tools and Supplies Finding the materials to create the DIY “Call Granny” sign is not difficult; however, you will need tools to cut the wood to size and drill holes for the wire handle. As a side note, most lumber supply stores should be able to cut the…

Devotional: Through the Eyes of Love
While leading a Bible study group, years ago, I sent the women home with an assignment. I asked them to reach out to at least five friends or family members–people they knew and not just casual acquaintances. They were to ask each person the same question: “List three positive words that describe something about me.” Some women were bashful about asking this question even when they believed the answers would be favorable, while others were curious about what others might say. We had a light-hearted discussion about the possible words that would be used, and everyone was excited to return…

The Messenger Life: Book Pick
The Messenger Life by Jeremiah and Teresa Yancy is my book pick for January 2025. I am excited to recommend it — FIVE STARS! — because I have a professional connection with the authors who have been my writing mentors for the past year. A Messenger in the Making I must convey that Jeremiah and Teresa’s mentorship program through Unlocking Your Book (and Messenger Books) is unlike any out there. That is because the Holy Spirit is front and center, guiding each author. We students quickly realized that we were not merely there to write books. The Holy Spirit was…

Now My Eyes See You: Book Pick
BOOK REVIEW I love to read as much as I love to write. Some books stand out more than others because they leave a lasting impact. Now My Eyes See You by Janell Kremer [paid link] is one of those books. That’s why it’s my December 2024 Book Pick. Profoundly Impacting Years ago, while in my thirties, I saw Jesus in a vision. He was surrounded by a crowd of people who were watching Him as He was being beaten and mocked. He was bloodied, bruised, covered in streaks of dirt, dripping with sweat, and in great pain. Jesus was…

Encouragement: Reach!
This word of encouragement titled “Encouragement: Reach!” is one that I received on November 19, 2024. The Bible verses below will provide additional insight. I pray that this word will bless and encourage you! ~ Susan “Honey” Williams New heights, new heights. New freedom. You will encounter Me in new ways. Hunger and passion for Me will propel you forward. Reach! Reach! Reach! My outstretched arms are here for you. I am a proud Father. Isaiah 40:30-31 NIV: “Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their…

Welcome to My Neck of the Woods
If we have not met, my name is Susan “Honey” Williams. I am a Christian author and blogger. Some may recognize me from the Laughing Cabin, the name of my craft business of fifteen years. I retired last year after undergoing several eye surgeries. Making pretty things is still a passion. Therefore, I will be including DIY projects and decorative ideas on this blog from time to time, like this Gingerbread Man Porch Sitter. Isn’t he adorable? Closing my craft business allowed me to focus on writing projects. As a result, my new book titled, “It’s Your Time for a…

Devotional: God Bless the Fleas
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” ~ I Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV I read The Hiding Place [paid link] by Corrie Ten Boom over thirty years ago. The book impacted my life so much that I remember much of it today. If you have not heard of her, Corrie took part in the Danish resistance when the Nazis invaded the Netherlands in the 1940s. She and her father and sister were devout Christians. Their home became a sanctuary for persecuted Jews to hide and avoid capture or worse.…

Gingerbread Man Porch Sitter
Gingerbread men and gingerbread houses are popular themes for holiday decorating. In 2009, my first handmade bestsellers were gingerbread man shelf sitters that I sold at local craft consignment stores. They were so popular that I decided to sell them online by opening my first Etsy shop. I named it “Land of Gingerbread.” All this is to say that I have a long history with gingerbread-themed crafts. That’s why I have brought you this particular porch sitter. I think you’ll love making it as much as I do. Working with the Wood-Cutting Pattern Because I have a band saw, I…
