Truly Christmas

Well, this years big event is behind me once again. Time to start thinking about next years centerpiece! (Kidding… kind’a.)
For those of you who don’t know about my “handcrafted centerpiece obsession”… let me tell you what I do it for. Our church has a wonderful dinner for the ladies of our community to start off the [...]

Angels Galore

Each year our church has a wonderful Christmas event called Truly Christmas. Any of the women in our church can host a table and invite 8 friends to buy a ticket that gets them a spot at your table for dinner and a program. One of the bests parts of this is the first half hour [...]

Corn Dogs & Chocolate Milk

I know… not like me… but hey. On the eve of our special guests arrival, I have been cleaning up the guest room, planning meals, ordering tickets for outings, doing laundry, grocery shopping, and running various errands, and all of the sudden the boys asked if we were going to eat dinner tonight. Ooops.

Think About it Thursday…

Because artistic losses are seldom openly acknowledged or mourned, they become artistic scar tissue that blocks artistic growth. Deemed too painful, too silly, too humiliating to share and so to heal, they become, instead, secret losses.

How Do You Envision Angels?

I have talked with my boys since they were very little about their angel and how he is their protector. I’ve told them that he is a mighty angel and carries a big fiery sword to fight off  Satan and his demons.

Absenses Makes The Heart Grow Fonder…

I miss my bloggy friends!
You may not be growing fonder of me… since I haven’t been on here for a while, but I do think about you all and wonder what everyone else is blogging about! I wonder about all of you that I visit on a regular basis! And for my friends and family [...]

My Interview

I have to say that I was quite nervous this morning before they got here. The boys all got showers and put on nice clothes… which is saying something around here! We also had a wonderful prayer time for about 5 minutes before they came to the door! Each on the kids said a bit… [...]

More Critters!

Yes… I am still struggling with my hands, but I am trying to go slow and take every precaution possible. That, or just take a bunch of Ibuprofen and barrel through!
I’m good.
God has blessed me so much in the last few days!! I went to get more clay for my creatures and it was on [...]

Thursday at Noon…

I just got the call that this coming Thursday at noon the magazine gal and her photographer are coming to my house to do the shoot for an article coming out for the Holidays in a local magazine!
Oh, my, word.
Okay… I am good. I’m fine.
I spent most of yesterday making little creatures for my Truly [...]
