1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. what I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done sometime this year.
4. you have no clue what it will be... it may be a story. It may be poetry or an article on properly cleaning your face before a masque. I may draw or paint something. I may bake something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure. ;-) But you do know that I neither paint, or write, right? Just a little bitty clue...

recap

Is this not a super cute pic of {a}? I love this little girl, and I can't believe how cute she is!

so this weekend was DH overnighter with the scouts. Saturday, I knew we HAD to do something. I suggested to the boys that we go to a movie, or the zoo or to g'mas for Wii. Well, I couldn't get the boys to agree on any choice, so we went to g'mas for Wii, park, lunch b-ball game of B. cute--fun to watch her play. then we went to JoAnn's and stocked up on dress patterns for {a} and more fabric. That store is going to be the death of my budget! :) Getting lots of cute fabric, though. I need more stuffing for monsters. Here are the ones I have made so far. I have given one to each of my kiddos and 2 to friends who recently had babies. Can you guess who belongs to whom? :)

cute!

I think this is funny--if you google "(your name) needs" using the quotes and see what you need. :) If you think simply, they say I need to be repaired, food, an abundance of warmth and sunlight, heat, and a foster home. Well, some are true, and some not so much. :)

tired...

ever had one of those days where even though you had a wonderful nights sleep it feels like you have only slept for 15 minutes?


That is me... today. Exhausted, headache, so not feeling the desire to cook anything for dinner.

Anyone else feeling that way today too?

work in progress...

"This is only temporary...you are a beautiful work in progress"

he said to his wife. They have been through a plane crash, he burned over 30% and she 80% of their bodies. They are both recovering nicely, or so I'm told. I don't really know them, I have only been following their story since Aug 08 shortly after the accident. They were laying in bed after a particularly "pity"-ful day. and while she was wallowing he says one simple sentence that has touched me to the core. Isn't this EXACTLY what Christ has been telling us for, well, forever? Aren't we all beautiful children of our Heavenly Father who are just a little bit scarred? Don't we all just need a little more time and love to heal our hearts? Aren't we all in need of a gentle reminder of who we are and of the amazing potential that awaits us?
Though I don't know this beautiful family, I am amazed every day with their gentle tenacity, courage and faith.

Please, always remember who you are and that this trial is only temporary, for YOU are a work in progress.

Fabulous Thought for Today!

FRIENDS ARE ANGELS WHO LIFT US TO OUR FEET WHEN OUR WINGS HAVE TROUBLE REMEMBERING HOW TO FLY

Please thank those around you who are your "friends".

Happy Friday!

sick...

My Dear Sweet husband is out of town this week. He is in a neighboring State on business and of all the luck, he has strep thoat! Poor baby! :( I feel so bad for him. Not just that he is sick, but tha the is out of town, sick, in a hotel room, with noone to pamper him. I feel so bad for him. On a positive note, though, atleast he's not a home infecting the rest of us. HA! :)
