Thoughts For Thursday – Merry Christmas!

“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? [Christmas] came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.   What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.” —Dr. Seuss (1904-1991); writer, cartoonist Rejoicing in…

Faux Stamped Candles

Faux Stamped Candles

I am feeling loads better today. It seems that the iron is actually kicking in and I am feeling human! YAY! I even went grocery shopping for last minute food items that I’d forgotten on the “big pre Christmas” trip on Saturday. I planned on posting this yesterday but got caught up helping B in the woodshop with a couple of Christmas projects for two small girls…. This year I wanted to give something fun and simple for neighbor gifts…

Missing In Action

Missing In Action

Hi all! I am just popping in to let you know that I am still alive and kicking… barely kicking because my energy level is nearly non existent. For several weeks now I have not had the energy to do much at all. I get up out of bed and accomplish a few things around the house, suffer through work, whatever it needs to be, and then crash out. I have not slept through the night in months… Naps have…

Faux Stitching & Girls Night Out

Faux Stitching & Girls Night Out

Last week was Kristin’s birthday. We (Renae, Kristin, Trish, Kaylee, and Amber) went to dinner at Los Hermanos and then went to see the movie, Twilight. (Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it… discussion for a different day). I made this birthday card for Kristin and totally cased one of my old Christmas cards that I made when I was a consultant for CTMH. I really like how this pink n chocolate one turned out, too! I did some faux stitching…

Thoughts for Thursday: Just do it!

Thoughts for Thursday: Just do it!

“Our doubts are traitors and makes us lose thegood we oft might win by fearing to attempt.” —William Shakespeare (1564-1616); Measure for Measure I loooove this quote!!! Do you ever feel doubtful about something you want to try? This month, Brent has been talking about wanting to make candy and other assorted goodies for neighbor treat trays. I’ve been saying, “No, candy is too much of a pain and really hard to get it right”, and all the while B…

RAK Winner Announced & Craziness Update. LOL!

We have a RAK winner from the Single Lovely Action/RAK Challenge post! YAY! The winner is: Michelle said… Its funny how such simple things that we do can affect someone. Wednesday I had some last minute things to buy at the grocery store. I had less than 10 items. The lady behind me had a couple more than me but her two kids were tired and kranky so I let her in line in front of me. She started crying….

Washington —-> Utah or BUST! Road Trip, the Book.

Washington —-> Utah or BUST! Road Trip, the Book.

Today I am grateful for lasting friendships. Some people come into your life for a season, some for a reason, and some for forever. I have many friends who I have kept in contact over the years and am so grateful to still have these friends in my life. Last weekend one of my forever friends, Sarah, came to visit from Washington. She brought along her two daughters (L & S) and her fiance (Dustin) & Dustin’s little dachshund, Chip,…
