Weekend Is Here!

Friday has finally loomed in Dacula! After all the rain and gloom, I'm happy to say that we have had no rain these past 2 days. We were fortunate that we only had our roof leak a tiny bit around the fireplace. Johnny says that shouldn't be to difficult to fix. Where as his sister's house did flood out in the bottom level. Her carpet is ruined, haven't really heard the total damage yet.

Jacob has been sick with the flu. I'm hoping that nobody else in the house gets sick. Remember last weekend I told you all about Jacob going to visit Berry college? Well, all three of the boys got sick with the flu. Jacob has spent the past 4 days very sick with a fever for 3 days, today he is finally feeling better. Thank you Lord!

Even my kitties have been under the weather. Daisy has had an upset tummy and Butters is driving me crazy, I just wished he could tell me what he wants. I have to scoop that box every time , he will not use it if there's a speck of anything in there. I normally scoop twice a day anyway, but he is terribly picky about his bathroom business! It's really funny, but can be annoying also.

Tomorrow I've got to make brownies for my Daddy for his birthday. My Daddy loves chocolate! We are going over to Momma and Daddy's on Sunday to celebrate his birthday. We will also celebrate my niece Caroline's b-day. It will be a fun day for all!

Have a great weekend my friends!

Unexpected day off!

Georgia is under a flood warning and Gwinnett county schools closed earlier today. John went up to the high school to pick up Jacob and his friend Matthew and took Matt home and then came home and we have been watching the news and weather all day. Please keep GA in your thoughts and prayers. We have already had two deaths due to the flooding. My nephew is a cop and he was on the news earlier today, he was called in on the death of a female in Lawrenceville, her van got swept away in the flood. I've never seen this type of rain and flooding in our area. Its unnerving, it is still raining.

On to stitchy news, this is the mini stocking that I stitched for Julianne in our Christmas ornie group. These are the cutest and easiest little stockings to make. I love them! Here is also the devils horn area on the Quaker RR for Val! Almost there! and finally, I received my ornament magazine in the mail! I plan to look at it later tonight during Dancing With the Stars! I love that show! (My hubby hates it!) hehehehe

Other than that, it's been a slow day at home, gonna start supper in a few minutes. Hamburgers and hot dogs on the George Foreman grill, I like that grill, very easy to use.

Hoping everyone has a great Monday!

Swimming in Dacula,

Another week flies by!

Where does the time go? Another week has just zoomed by again! We won our football game, had our all night sleepover for the band kids, tried to pass a kidney stone(no luck with that!) Why is it the busier I become, the more my body falls apart? I can't win, but hey, at least it happened on the weekend and hope that I will make it in to work tomorrow.
News about my Jacob: My son is being inducted in to the National English Honor Society! Wahoo! Another honor cord for my baby when he graduates! I am very proud of him. He went and visited Berry College on Saturday with a couple of his best friends. We will visit as many colleges as we can in the next few months. Plus all the applications to fill out. This will be an exciting time for Jacob. We have a college fair this Thursday night, so hope that proves us a chance to see and learn about other colleges.
No pictures tonight, but I did get the devils horns on Val's RR finished! Yea for that. Hang in there Val, I'm trying to finish your RR this week!
Wishing everyone a great week!

A couple Pics of Jacob!

I know, I know, I just can't stand it! I had to show off my son. But hey, isn't that what good Mommas are suppose to do? Now if only Jason would allow me better picture taking opportunities of him. I'll have to do sneak attacks if I want any pictures of him.

I am so bummed, I've been reading about everyone else getting the ornament issue and I haven't gotten mine yet. Hurry up Just Cross Stitch Ornament issue!

Quick post, I've got to stitch tonight!

Football Season has started!

Well, I am doing better, I missed this past Friday nights game. We were creamed! 44 to Zip! It's shameful, but in our defense we played the top seed in teams. Whew, at least we won't play them again. As soon as I get the pictures downloaded from Friday's game, I'll post a couple of great pictures of Jacob!
I tell you what, I missed going to the game, but having the night off was what I needed. I didn't stitch at all, that was a bummer, but Sunday morning I woke up and felt so much better. Church was awesome, our Pastor is doing a Decades series that is so cool and hip, last Sunday was the 60's era in music and God, this Sunday was the 70's and how turbulent that time frame affected how people put God in their lives. I can't wait for next Sunday, it will be my era, the 80's. Wahoo! Our music team is awesome and I can't wait! (Listen to me, I mean, I can't wait for next Sunday! Go Pastor Kevin! Go PK! (That's his nickname)
I got invited to do Becky's Christmas gift exchange and I'm super excited with my partner! I've got to start figuring out what to make! Thanks to Becky for inviting me!
See ya!

Where have I been?

Home! Or to be precise, the couch or my bed! I twisted my back and I stayed well medicated, went back to the doc today and I'm getting along better. Has anyone ever had a deep tissue massage? If you've had one, email me and tell me if I should look into that. Having the PsA and Fibro really stinks, but my hubby makes me feel so much better! (This gesture performed by my hubby rates a #1 in my book. He scooped my kitties cat box!) Never in my life would I guess he would do this for me! I love you Johnny!

So Michelle, I'm heading to the post office tomorrow with all your goodies! I hope you like all your prezzies!

I heard thru the grapevine that the Christmas Ornie issue is out? I'm watching for the mailman!

I am in love with the Halloween Blackbird Designs book! Love It!

I'm hoping everyone is well and having a great week!

Btw, I ordered Tanya's Christmas Issue of her Sampler Girl Pamphlets and it's perfect! I love Snug in their Beds, plus Love Birds! Great job on the Sampler Companion!

Hugs my friends!

Christmas is just around the corner!

And the winner is.........

I know the suspense is killing me! After Daisy overlooked the bowl of destiny 2 (Sorry Edgar, I just had to use it!), then Jacob tossed the bowl around and drew....drum roll please......

Michele from JUST ANOTHER STITCHING BLOG!

Since I had 2 Michele's in the batch, I added coffee girl to Michele's tag, since I know she's a coffee lover! hahaha

So Michele, send me your address and your Halloween package will soon be scooting to your house!

As to me, I'm still sick and under the weather. This cold is doing its darnedness to make me take a sick day. I of course am trying not too. It's hard on the kitchen crew not to mention my manager who hates to run the register. So I've been using my Afrin plus over the counter meds to keep me going.

I have to mention my sweet little niece Caroline who is celebrating her birthday today! Happy Birthday Sweetie!

I got my copy of BlackBird Designs 'Tis Halloween'! Heaven, I'm in heaven! Another awesome pattern book from the girls.

I've got my exchanges ready to mail, I'm cutting it close, sorry to my exchange partners, but I made by the deadline. So start watching your mailboxes in about a week!

Well, that's it for me tonight, I'm hitting the hay early so I can wake up ready for work tomorrow.

Hugs,

A sneak peek at the giveaway goodies!

Just a peek of Halloween Goodies!

Just a taste of what's in the giveaway. Butters is guarding over the bounty! hahaha

Tonight my post will be short, I've got to sew a cape for our drum major. Plus get my stuff ready to go on my exchanges, I'm really cutting it close, but with everything this month I got behind. I hate that! I'm really excited for the winner of the giveaway because I bought two of a few things, cause I had to have them myself! Y'all are gonna love it!

Look at my Christmas Ornament that Faye made for me! Wahoo, I love it! Thank you friend, I can't wait for Christmas to add it to my tree.

Hugs,

DaisyGirl

I'm glad for chances to make my friends happy!

Don't forget to enter the giveaway......

Tomorrow everyone will get a sneak peek at one of the goodies in the giveaway! So tell your friends, and cross your fingers!
I'm feeling better today; thank you. I'm taking over the counter meds and it seems to be doing the trick. Afrin nose spray is great! I could breathe today!
I went fabric shopping for a cape for our drum major tonight, ahhhh, the beginnings of fall decorations. I'm counting down the days till I can decorate for Halloween. This year Halloween is on a Saturday. I'll be home to pass out candy, yippee! Last year was a football game and I was not home to give out candy. I look forward to giving out candy, decorating and everything! I'm trying to talk my hubby into a Halloween party for the band kids, we will see, if Johnny gets back to work soon we should be able to swing the extra cost for a party.
This will be a quick post, gotta get ready to hit the sack! I'm tired, plus my Afrin is wearing off, need to re-medicate. hahahah
Hugs,
DaisyGirl

Wahoo! Enter giveaway at this post!

Just look at the bounty I received. A big thanks to Dee for all the wonderful Halloween goodies that I won. The pumpkin book is so cute! I'm gonna put that out on the table during the October month. And since winning that, it has put me in the mood to host a giveaway too! So next weekend, which will be August 28, I will draw a name out of my own witchy cauldron, so enter now on this post to win a surprise which will make your stitchy hearts happy!

Would you believe I already have a cold?!? I am gonna count this year just how many colds I get. It's only been 2 weeks of school. I do get a flu shot every year now since I work at a school. But that doesn't help with all the little colds that I get. I was fine yesterday, but I woke up Saturday morning congested with a runny nose. How can a person be congested and have a runny nose? You can't breathe, but your nose just drips. Ugg!

Baby Alora is home now with your Momma Aaryn! Praise God for small miracles! Now I just need pictures! Oh Cathy, pester your daughter to hurry up and send us pictures! I'm so happy that Aaryn can be a Momma now. And another thing, Kyle, we want y'all to move down home in the south. I want to hold that precious baby!

John is gonna smoke some ribs today, sounds super yummy and maybe I'll be able to taste the goodness of tasty pig! hahahaha

Tomorrow starts my new job at church. I will be a greeter, which I really don't think they know what they are getting themselves into! John's Uncle Russell and Aunt Deborah are glad that I have welcomed God back in my life. Russell is a pastor and as much I as like their church, it's so far away and I know I would set myself up for failure because I hate driving a long way for church, I can get to 12Stone in 10 minutes, which is perfect for me. I told you God that I was gonna try to comply. I'm really excited about it, plus I hope to make some new friends.

Well, I'll leave you with a few pictures for the weekend. Butters is giving kisses to Daisy, look how big he has gotten. I so love my kitties!

Have a great weekend!

DaisyGirl

I'm glad for new friends I'll meet at church.

Monday dawns a new day...........

Just to show you that people still care. Y'all know about the flower turmoil, well, the funeral attendant at Tommy Wages is the best. She knew about the mix up and to make me feel better this is what she did. I didn't realize it until we were walking in following the casket. She had my spray right up front and she had it worked out where my flowers were at the head of Uncle Charles's casket. I was so totally blown away that she took my flowers and placed them right by Uncle Charles. That gesture was so special to me and after the funeral, I had to let her know how much that meant to me. She was so humble and said I just wanted things to be special for you. Now friends, that's someone who I want to be like! We always use Tommy Wages, they are the best!

Here's a picture of Jacob and I at the end of band camp. Everyone had a great time and I love this picture of us together.

Has anyone received their Just CrossStitch Halloween issue? I haven't, and I'm chomping at the bit to get it. I also can't wait till the new Blackbird Design Halloween stockings booklet comes out.

Well, hopefully I'll get my 2 exchanges sent this week. Stitching has been completed, just need to assemble. I have the material already picked, so I'm happy about that part. Don't you just hate it when you can't find the perfect piece of fabric for your pinkeepe, pillow, etc.

Hope everyone has a great night!

Hugs,
