My Regency: arts

I would like to share to you the spiritual thought I shared during the Art Festival in our ward. I was given the topic about gifts and talents. Upon knowing the topic, I prayed and asked guidance for my assignment. My only concern is to deliver the message well.

There are many things that I learned in this topic. The word gifts and talents has been considered as part of cultural, visual and performing arts. However, this has been considered as a very limiting definition. There are myriad ways to express gifts and talents given by God.

The examples of gifts and talents include cooking, dancing, singing, writing, sports abilities, painting and others. These are given by God for mankind to explore and develop. In that sense, we're approved of by Him to develop the gifts and talents we received. Yes, each one of us receive different kinds of talents. It's up to us to use it for our own advantage in a righteous manner.

Simply put, when we received gifts and talents from God we have the obligation to use it. However, we should develop it on righteous purposes. It shouldn't be used to damage or defraud another person.

According to Elder Henry D. Taylor, "You probably have gifts and talents that you have not yet discovered or that are dormant. These must be awakened."

The counsel is very clear. I'll pray that I'll be able to follow this counsel. Have a nice day, everyone!

I'm so happy with the increasing traffic here in My Regency. When I started this blog two years ago, it was just a play. My husband wanted me to start a blog, but I'm not really serious about it. The love of blogging really started when I met some friends online and when I discovered a lot of tricks in making a blog grow. For today, my post is about how to create a unique home decor. I'm not a professional interior designer, yet I'm really fascinated with unique home designs. My primary consideration is creating a unique home design using affordable materials.

Our home isn't complete, I know. There are many things to accomplish like painting, flooring, finalizing the kitchen, putting up a fence so that dogs won't run away just to play and finalizing the bedroom upstairs. While we're preparing all these, I want to know how to create a unique home decor.

I finally made a unique home decor when I was invited to a church activity which is an art festival. I thought it was unique since the materials I used are all recycled. On my way to the wet market, I searched for tree wigs. I decided to make a Tree of Fashion. I found tree wigs and I brought it with me while looking for fresh pork and fish in the market.:)

Upon reaching home, I took my used nail cream and used it to paint the branches of the tree wigs. I used color pink, lavender, green, red and yellow alternately. After that, I took my handmade fashion accessories and tried it on the tree of fashion. The dogs stood beside me while doing this project. I finished the project two hours before the event. Love it!

"In making a unique home decor, try to find inspiration online. There are lots of bloggers who share their passion on home design. It's also wise to recycle what you have. Look around you, you'll see a lot of materials that you can transform into a beautiful piece." - My Regency

Of course, I won under the "most economical category". Also, our group won the best creation. I was also the one who gave the spiritual talk. I'm so blessed being a member of our church because my passion on arts, public speaking and fashion aren't neglected.
