Welcome to “Show and Tell Friday!” Do you have something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Look around your home for something to share; dig through those boxes in your closet if you have to! Share photos and the story that goes with your special item.
Hello! Today I am sharing a special picture that hangs above our front door. It was a gift from my parents when we moved into our house 9 years ago.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15
It is a single sheet of paper and the border has been cut out in a delicate pattern of flowers, hearts and swirls.
Even the letters are tiny slits in the paper.
I also added a few autumn touches to my entryway.
Thank you for looking at my show and tell!
Please read the Show and Tell Guidelines for step-by-step instructions on how to participate.

I have heard that paper cutting is a craft. My mom knew of a lady that did that.
Your sign is very beautiful; and a unique way to display that scripture. :)
And I love the autumn touches you put in your entry way. I especially like the wreath hanging over the mirror. Very pretty! :)
I love the wreath above the mirror it is so pretty, but you always have wonderful and creative ideas and that is why I love to visit your blog, have a great weekend Kelli and I will talk to you next week.
Lovely! It looks so delicate. Your autumn decorations are just delightful.
It is all so pretty. I love that scripture. I love seeing that in homes.
A beautiful framed verse, I've always loved that verse. Is it a laser cut design?
Your fall decorations are sooo pretty!

What a lovely verse to grace your wall. We have a similar blessing that was a wedding gift (Visit we beseech thee oh Lord...) and still have it on the wall after almost 25 yrs.
Your decor is definitely autumn-very pretty!
Everything looks so very nice, Kelli! I even see those pretty little pumpkins everyone's been looking for!!
~Blessings,

Hello Kelli, what a lovely sign your parents gave you. And what a wonderful place to keep it above your door! I also like all your autumn decorations, especially that wreath, so simple, yet so elegant!
Love, Ann
Your entryway looks awesome and I love that picture!
Cute fall display in your entryway. I love the flowers and the birds. :-)
How beautiful. That is one of my favorite verses. We have it on our door knocker on our front door.
God bless you this weekend!

The framed Bible tex was a wonderful gift for your home...lovely fall decor.
Such a lovely verse and I love your entryway touches of Fall....most welcoming....hugs, Linda
Your entry way is decorated beautifully for fall. The verse over the door is very pretty. Thank you for hosting "Show and Tell Friday." Take care.
Kelli, I love the picture and those little birds are wonderful. I love little birds! Beautiful post!

Oh Kelli....sometimes me and Linky!!! Please remove my name from the first posting #11 I believe...I reentered cuz I had an old post. Sorry.
Kelli,
A beautiful show and tell. What talent it took to create the sampler. Thank you for sharing all of the photos of your home. It's lovely.
Blessings,
Mary
That is a wonderful verse to have in your home - I love how it has been cut - such a skill.
Your entry hall puts my small nature bowl in my hall (my post this week) to shame - but I am taking baby steps!!!
Hi Kelli, what a thoughtful house warming gift from your parents! We have this verse framed too! Your entryway is lovely - I like white accented with rich colours and will be doing a similar colour scheme for our bedroom.
Blessings,
Kalianne
the bible text is very uplifting and gives your home its life context...beautiful.
I so enjoy your blog, and I love seeing pictures of your lovely home.
Lovely Show and Tell Mrs. W.!

Very nice ! I can't convince myself yet to put something automn looking like in my house ! I just don't like this season !
Your entryway looks beautiful and what a lovely gift to display in your new home.
What a beautiful picture to hang above your door, thanks for letting us see that.
I love this verse and it is interesting that such a beautiul piece is made by cutting. Lovely, as always.

Love the entry way wreath!!! That is gorgeous because of such simplicity!!
Happy weekend Kelli.
My Show n Tell is titled "BEE careful" this week. Stop by if you can.
This sign is beautiful and unique! Love the moss wreath with the pumpkin and the fall arrangement! It's all very pretty!

Thanks for sharing it with us:)

Kelli how pretty I want something like that for our kids for Christmas.

Good Morning Kelli,
I love that verse, it looks beautiful above your door! Your home is beautifully decorated for fall...I really must get busy, I have a little but you're a wonderful inspiration.
Have a Fantastic Friday!
Kathi :)
As always your decorating is just beautiful!
My great aunt always have a sign over her living room with the same verse.
Blessings
Linda
I love the wall hanging over the door. It looks a little like, and I do not think I am spelling this correctly, sharon che-neat-ta. Pronounce it the way I spelled it. I have done it at youth camps at church. Great craft for detailed children/youth, non detailed children/youth completely fall apart or bounce off the walls and need to be somewhere else. One of those occasions where I was glad I was not in charge. LOL!
Kelli, I have something for you on my blog. When you get a chance, stop by and pick it up. :D I posted earlier this week to you, but it was post number 65 or something like that so you might not have gotten it.
Hi Kelli,
Lovely post today! I love the framed verse and the wreath - what a clever display. Have a wonderful weekend. P.S. I have really enjoyed your blog and have had fun crafting cards from your ideas!
That's a great Bible verse and done so attractively.
Love your entry way with all the pretty Fall decorations.
What a beautiful picture. And I love your entry way decor. You definitely put the rest of us to shame, lol!!
I just started reading your blog and I love all the pictures of your home and the crafts that you do! You are a blessed woman! Thanks for inspiring me to do better!
Just popped in to read your latest post and say hello.
Kelli,
What a beautiful sign. It is a good reminder to us all!
I love your harvest entryway and especially those little glass pumpkins!
My camera did arrive but my husband has been out of town until yesterday. Hopefully, he will show me how to use it this weekend!
Blessings,
Gina
I love coming to your blog on Fridays to see your pictures of special things! I also have a picture of that very same scripture verse. My father loved that verse and it means so much to me now that he's gone. What else could we really want in life but to see our family serving the Lord? Have a great weekend, thanks for sharing!
Your show and tell is always wonderful but today is especially nice. The cut out piece is fabulous. I can only imagine the time that it took to make that piece. I just love it.
Lovely. I especially love the scripture lettering. Beautiful!
Just beautiful! Stunning!
One of my favorite verses! :) I can only imagine the work that went into creating such a beautiful piece!
I love the paper cut artpiece. . . a lovely way to capture great scripture!
Emily
That picture is so beautiful! I love your autumn touches too for the entry way! Very beautiful!
Hi Kelli :)
Everything is so pretty. I especially love your mossy wreath. I think I might make one of those. Have a good weekend. :)
You have a very inviting entryway. I like the special fall touches and the detail of the scrpiture in the frame.
Have a blessed day Kelli.
OH Kelli, I just love your entry hall table!! it's so danity! Thanks for sharing:)
Your picture over your door is really cool. I have a similar picture only it is square and has the same scripture. It was given to us as a wedding present and I have it in my kitched hanging over our stove. This is my first time to participate in Share and Tell and it was very fun. God bless you, Elena
Your piece is lovely. I really love the way your entry is looking.
This is my first time joining your party...I am always a little late, so imagine my delight when I came across the fact that my post for the day matches a "show and tell."
Oh, I forgot to add that we have the same picture. It was a gift from the church I was on staff with when we moved to NC.
Paper cutting is very hard to master, but whoever did that piece over your door is excellent. You always have such nice things.
Your entryway looks lovely!
Hi Kelli,
Great Show and Tell! I love the moss wreath. Is that a Kelli Original, too? Too cute.
Your home is lovely.
Kelli, I just love that paper craft scripture. How beautiful. Your home looks lovely decorated for the fall!
My Mimi has a wooden bowl like yours that she puts apples in during the fall.
I love your beautifully decorated entryway and fantastic picture from your parents.
Lindsay
Just lovely. How do you find the time to do so much. I love the paper cutting. I use to do it a lot. I still have a few around, gave most as gifts.
simply beautiful..
Kelli,
I have a picture in my living room that has that same scripture on it.
Your picture is simply beautiful and all of the fall decorations in your entryway are wonderful.
Hope y'all have a great weekend!
Tammy
I love that scripture. I wonder if they cut that by hand or some kind of machine? It's beautiful. Mimi
Your entryway is beautiful! I love the idea of having a guestbook in the home as pictured in one of your last photos. Every time we go on vacation, the rental homes have them but I never thought to put one in our home! See, this is why I love visiting blogs so much. Always so many fabulous ideas that I never would have thought of!
Have a blessed evening,
Erin
Kelli, the picture you shared with us is gorgeous. It looks so delicate. Love it!
The wreath with the mini pumpkin nestled in it is so pretty.
Thanks for sharing with all of us.
God bless.
Hi Kelli,everything is very nice. Thanks for sharing...

Kelli, the sign above your door is very pretty ~ what a wonderful Bible verse.
Your entryway with all the fall decorations looks lovely.
Have a blessed weekend!
That picture is SOOOO neat! I've never seen anything like it!
Hi, Kelli - I love your decorations! They give me ideas.
I gave you an award on my blog. Hope you don't already have it.

Have a wonderful weekend !!!!
Kelli, I love your new decorations, and I just love your blog in general. :-) I gave you an award on my blog. I rarely leave you a comment, but wanted to let you know that I love your blog!
Your home is absolutely beautiful! You have such a good eye for detail and color. I am simply amazed at how pretty everything looks!
Hi Kelli... The gift from your Parents is simply beautiful... so delicate, and such a powerful statement... certainly a loving treasure that will be cherished for countless years. Your Fall decor is so pretty. I never thought about hanging a wreath over a mirror, but I really liked the way it looked! Thanks so much for sharing...
~blessings~
Pearl
Your entryway is so welcoming! Thank you for sharing the pictures with us. :o)
The frame your parents gave you is beautiful! Did they make it themselves? I've heard of Scherenschnitte before and have become interested in finding patterns lately so I could give it a try... if it's not too much trouble to ask, do you happen to know where the pattern is from or any other information about it? (If you don't know or don't have time to find out, I completely understand!)
I love this...you do open your door to blogland...and I love going to your home.
I just know you are having a wonderful fall.
Hugs, Mary
What a wonderful picture! Your entry looks so nice, Kelli.
Your home looks very inviting...
I wasn't able to do a Show and Tell last Friday, but wanted to tell you I love that plaque.
Ok I need to add you to my follow gadget that I just today figured out, so I can show my sis in law this site as well. I love the entry way here. I'm thinking I could just adopt you to live here and help me out at my home! lol
