Welcome to Strands of Silver

Hi! And thanks for coming to visit the mine! We're digging for bits of joy - strands of silver - in everyday life. These strands are surprisingly common, but they have a knack of hiding under a bit of grime, taking advantage of your tired eyes and escaping notice or even disguising as something else. Still, they are there. Even when you don't think they are. So come along with me (or travel back in time in the archives) and discover Strands of Silver!

You probably haven't been dying of curiosity, but I've had some inquiries from a few people, and the rest of you get the explanation anyway!

About Christiana

Hi! My name is Christiana :)

First of all, I am a greatly blessed, highly favored, imperfect  but forgiven Child of God! Secondly, I am part of a wonderful earthly (and church) family! I am a proud big sister of nine, and a very thankful little sister of one. I am a reader, writer, poet, musician, actress, horse lover, costume fan, homeschooler, country lovin', family huggin', Christ follower, Pacific-Northwestern girl!

I aim to write about the things that bring me joy and will bring others smiles. There's usually some grand project or another going on behind the scenes, and these might make their appearances as well as the littler things. 

I hope you will be blessed by something on this website, and if so, Praise the Lord!
