"For many years I have decorated my homes and others. I even decorated a pawn shop, once! I have crafted 80% of the décor in my home and had a small craft business where I sold my items at craft shows. I have taken many craft classes and even teach a little. I grow the plants to make my own potpourri. I sew, paint, quilt, and I own, and operate, my own power tools.
You can go to Facebook and type in Reda Johnson and to From Your Heart to Your Home in photos and see pictures of the projects and help, if needed. I am continually adding to them. My sister is working on a My Space page for me and it will be up soon. Type in Reda Johnson.
My book has crafts,(embroidery, a rag quilt, a crazy quilt, quilts for kids, a lavender pillow, how to braid a rug, tin punch, a wooden game board, three pages of ideas to embroider or paint, paint a carousel horse)decorating, lots of potpourri ( sleep pillows, drying flowers and herbs, bath bags, bath and shower scrubs, gift items to make)recipes I have made,(breaded pork chops, frozen bread dough, pumpkin bread, a winter´s worth of cocoa mix,spare ribs) special things for kids (crafts and parties), holidays(you don´t have to spend a fortune), financial awareness,how to write a gratitude journal, cleaning help, how to make a garden room, hodge podge..things that would not fit in other chapters (making a tool box for your self)and take time for... plus more.
I also had a time where I went through a divorce and lost love and home. It’s not a good feeling. It takes something to get back on your feet, pull yourself up and continue on through this journey of life. Through much prayer and time spent with the Lord, I overcame sadness,
despair, depression and a lack for living. Those years are behind me, now. Thank you, God.
I have a whole new life with a man that prayer found for me. God promised to give back twice what I had lost in the past and He did that with this good man I married 2 years ago. I am back to living, giving, trusting and loving. When I am happy, it shows through my home. I create and do it with my heart. There truly is, no place like home. Once you´ve lost ""home"" and regain it, you realize how very important it is. The grass really is greener in your own backyard.
I want you to find peace, joy and happiness in your home. Let me show you how to achieve that. Love comes from your heart and it needs to be shared."
