Happy New Years!

As I sit and pray while my two teenage boys are out and about on this New Year's Eve, I wish for everyone happiness, friendships to blossom, and love to overflow in your hearts!

We all live very busy lives and I hope to slow down and enjoy my family more in 2009. I have been blessed to meet many new friends thru the world of blogging and I thank each one who has taken the time to read or comment on my blog.

I was gonna stitch, but after two mimosa's, I'm very sleepy! I never was a good party girl!

Both my boys are spending their first New Years away from home and Momma is feeling alittle sad that they are growing up and branching out. I love you Jason and Jacob!

Happy New Years!

Blog undergoing changes!

I'm trying out new backgrounds, so don't fear, it's still me. I kinda like this one. I just wish I knew how to make them myself instead of using someone else's color combo!

I'm wanting a change from my usual pink. So bear with me while I experiment!

Yea!!!!!

More Christmas Pictures!

Hoping everyone had a Merry Christmas!

I'm wishing everyone a wonderful holiday. We all had a great Christmas here! Assorted pictures of our Christmas follows=John with his new tool, Jason with a Zune, Jacob with his new musical toy! What was I thinking? Electric guitar! I need to get him headphones! Jazzy with her new Disney Tinkerbell! (I did good on that one!) Elizabeth with Jazzy. Jackson, Bony, and Jason with his new necklace. The only person who didn't get in the pictures was me. I always forget and I'm so busy capturing everyone else's joy! It makes me very happy to see happy faces!

I'm very tired today, just gonna rest and order takeout for dinner tonight.

I need to hurry and finish my Halloween RR, it's due to travel on the 30th of this month! Gonna start tonight.

Well, I wish everyone a happy day and bless everyone I know!

Reindeer Exchange!

Lot what I received from Simone! She stitched me a reindeer in a flat fold stand up! Awesome job Simone! She also sent me some goodies for my stash! Thank you Simone!

I have been a bad blogger! I haven't blogged in over a week! Shame on me!

I have been busy, we had our winter concert with the symphonic band.It was last night. The group sounded wonderful. I would love for Jacob to be a professional musican in a orchestra, but I doubt that will happen. I can dream, can't I?

I've been busy stitching on Edgar's Quaker RR. It's coming along great. It's time to send on to Valerie. I have Rowyn's ready to ship.

I got Brutus groomed the other day, and with the weather turning colder, I needed to buy him a new little sweater. Look how cute his new jacket is... and he really loves wearing his snuggy's.

Well, I need to scoot, it's time to decorate the tree! I need to get my house ready. We are having our annual Christmas party this weekend!

Look what I got!

I asked for a floss tag thru MAW group, and this is what I got! It's super sweet and thank you to Melissa for granting my second wish!

My Reindeer exchange is ready to go in the mail tomorrow! I'm very excited about it! I sure hope my partner likes it! I can't wait to show everyone what I have made!

Can't believe tomorrow is Dec.1st!

Will post more tomorrow!

Pictures of what's been up!

We had a Rock A Thon on Friday night, that's where the kids get to spend the night at the school and have a blast. Jacob had fun, I managed to stay awake until 3am, after that I woke up at 6:30 to start cleaning up. Parents had to pick kids up by 7am. The girls enjoyed doing Jacob's hair.

Look what Kendra made for me! It is awesome Kendra! Right on with the uniform colors too! Jacob wants to take it to school to show it off! Thanks so much for this sweet gift!

I started on Edgar's Quaker RR, not much done, I need to send off Rowyn's to Valerie. I don't want to overwhelm her, as she already has 2 I think. We got off track when a stitcher bailed out on us and Valerie has agreed to take her spot.

Look at the cute little Christmas birds I'm working on! I'll try my best to have one of them assembled by the end of this week.

It's Monday and we are having our annual Thanksgiving dinners at the school starting tomorrow. We will serve Thanksgiving food for three days! Just today, I opened up 4 cases of cranberry sauce! Which means 24 long pans ready to serve!

Hope everyone has a great day!

I must show off my sparklies!

John knows that I love garnets and he bought my a new ring plus some new earrings from Jareds. It's a nice jewelry store out here. The ring was too big, so last night we dropped it off at the jewelry store while we went out to eat at Red Lobster. We were gonna go to Longhorns, but the wait was 75 minutes. I just could not wait that long to eat! I was hungry!

Today has been lazy. I visited my Momma while John and Jason unloaded firewood for my parents! I'm glad we are able to help provide them firewood, they won't have to buy any we hope.

I'm assembling Elizabeth's Harvest/Thanksgiving ornie tonight. I plan to mail it Monday! She sent me the cutest owl ornie. It's super sweet. John's Dad loved owls.

I have almost finished my Reindeer exchange! So no pictures of that one yet!

Christmas is coming quickly! My brother Patrick and my sister in law Cathy went Christmas shopping today! Hope for us to go next weekend or later.

Well, here's hoping everyone has a safe weekend!

I love you Johnny!

I love you Johnny!
We have been blessed with 21 wonderful years! Hope to have many more with you!

Halloween Practice Band Pictures

We let the band members dress up in their costumes for practice. It is always fun to see what these kids come up with. Jacob re-created the bad guy from Batman. he made the mask from burlap, he cut and stitched it and then he coffee bean dyed it. He did a great job I think.

I know I don't post alot about Jason, but I will today. He is in Stagecraft at school and they are doing the play The Crucible. They had a competition last week with the play, but they didn't place. So everyone was bummed. Jason is part of the crew that built the set. We are gonna go and see the set this week. Jason is such a different personality then his brother, Jason is more subdued and quiet, I worry because he doesn't seem happy. But he is almost 19, he's becoming a man and not the little boy who needs his momma. How sad for me.

We voted! I'm hoping that McCain can pull a victory. Times have shown us that when a Democrat is in office, the construction field is weak, no jobs for John. But since the Republicans are in office, work has been strong for John. I'm hoping that John will still have a job in December.

I am hoping to have Rowyn's RR finished tonight! Then I will work on assembling my Thanksgiving exchange ornie! I plan to have it ready to go out in the mail by this weekend.

John and I will share our 21 wedding anniversary on Nov. 7th. Shhhhhh ! I'm hoping for jewelry!

I won't be too disappointed if I don't, but it has been more than 3 years since I've received any sparkly goodness! hahahaha

I'm feeling better, but my doctor thinks that maybe I am experiencing a RA/PsA flare. So I'm taking my meds, but still feel tired. I did talk openly to my boss about my condition and she was very helpful and concerned. Being the main cashier has helped. I'm hoping to become the head cashier when the other lady retires.

Well, I want to stitch so I'll leave you with a smile and a hug for all who waited in line to vote! I waited 2 hours and twenty minutes! Hope it was worth it!
