I Walked In & Fell In Love!!

So my best girlfriend & I took a girl's trip to Arizona. Don't ask how that happened, because I myself can't even comprehend it. Some how things came together out of the blue and it happened. It was one of the best things I have ever done in my life. Yes, I am serious. I cried a few times when I called home and Todd would tell me stories about the kids. I missed my husband so, so bad. The time away made the appreciation for my life & family grow deeper. That it's ok to want some "alone" time every now & then. Because in that "alone" time it gives you a chance to realize all that is so very important and what really matters to you. So, thank you husband, kids, and mother for making my "alone" time possible!

While in Sedona Jen & I visited The Hummingbird House ( a quaint little store) and they had rooms with different themes. Jen rounded the corner and before I could even see what this room beheld she said, "oh, you're gonna LOVE this room!!" And, I did!!! Here it is.

Amazing isn't it!?!?! And here is a peek of what is on the outside. So beautiful!

All The Pretty Faces

I was going through some photos and realized these deserved to be entered into the blog! These two faces are the wonder that I get to see everyday. They are our blessings from God. I truly feel like they came special ordered straight from Heaven. Thank you God!

Here is the Christmas Card pic we went with~~

Lights, Camera, Action!

So here is my attempt at getting that "perfect" Christmas card picture. Let's just say the kids wanted to eat starburst and "undecorate" the tree instead of pose for any sort of picture. When it was all said & done, or shall I say when I decided to give up on the "perfect" picture, I had worked up a sweat. Here are some out takes. Merry Christmas All!!

Much Love~

Fun Project!

I was blog browsing & came across the neatest idea for a write-on/wipe-off board. Take a picture frame of your choice, fill it with a cool fabric, put sticky backed velcro on the marker & side of frame (to hold your marker), & presto you have a one of kind write on surface!! I need to pick up some neon colored markers, but here are some pics of my project. Hope you like!!

Finished!! Yipee!!

Here ya go. The finished product.

One Day I'll Finish

So here is a preview of what I have been working on. This should have been done in one day, but that one day has turned into a couple weeks! Shame, shame, I know. It is a Diaper Tote for a sweet baby girl. No one in particular though. I'm making this to list in my Etsy Shop. My poor little teeny tiny shop looks all neglected and needs a truck load of goodies delivered. I would be the one in charge of those deliveries, so my hiney better get to busting a move! Hah.:) After I finish this Diaper Tote I will be making one for a boy. The boy material is so stinkin cute... vintage little camping cowboys. Anyways here is a little look at the makings of this girly diaper bag. Enjoy!!!

Lil' Lumberjack

So it's that time of year when the chill hits you to the bone and the best way to soothe the shivers is by a fire. This would be our third load of firewood this year and that's ok because we have been using only the wood burning stove. Talk about cutting back on the propane & electric bill! So Isaac was away with his Aunt Penny and that left Momma, Daddy, & Isabelle to gather wood. If a baby girl must be out in the elements then she needs proper "wood gathering attire"! Where do you find the perfect place for lumberjack duds, you ask? Why in big brothers closet of course!
