Are you ready to meet our Fourth Recipient of the Very Inspiring Blogger Award – and our next Friend Of The Week?
Friend Of The Week & Inspiring Blogger – Helen Gullet
This week, it’s my pleasure to introduce you to a gifted crafter and a wonderful blogging friend with a heart for God and His people – Helen Gullet of Living My Given Life!
Helen is a talented cardmaker and scrapbooker whose creative projects often reflect her love for God, family and friends. She’s also a Close To My Heart consultant who designs for several creative teams and can often be seen inspiring her two beautiful young daughters to create!
Helen’s true passion, however, lies in missions. She and her husband met on a short term mission trip, and their desire as a family is to serve the Lord overseas.
I encourage you to visit Helen – to explore her blog – to extend her a warm welcome as our Friend Of The Week – and congratulate her on receiving the Inspiring Blogger Award from Create With Joy!
