APPLI * K * IT

O.K. here it is.... I have thought and thought about this for a couple of months now and just decided to go with it. If I don't make it then I don't make it, if I do make it then WOW... I can't believe it. I am started to really start doing appliqueing for people lately so I thought, well since I am making a little bit of side money then why not start doing it for others. A friend of mine and I (she paints and I will post her site) have decided that we are going to do the PARKWAY HILLS UNITED METHODIST CHURCH - SPRING FEST - ON APRIL 24th. I have been ordering things and buying fabric and just now getting a little, well very OVERWHELMED at how much all of this takes. Now I know why things are so expensive if they are hand made. Anyway, so there you have it, it is out in the open.. APPLI * K * IT is just now starting to get up and running. I have some pictures on my fb if you ever want to see them just click on photos "MY HOBBY", if you are not my friend and you and want to see them send me a message telling me that you want to look and I will be glad to friend you. I am not sure if I will be doing an APPLI * K * IT blog or website, I will just have to wait and see where this leads me. Oh, here is my friends blog with her paintings... some cute stuff so check it out: Oopsiedaisiedesigns.blogspot.com this is painted stuff by Nicole Hayman.......

So I will need prayers that I get through all this. I know I will, again I am just very overwhelmed right now, but I know once I start this it will run smoothly.

oh, my

o.k. so my last post is a rambling post.. i didn't even understand half of it and i am the one who wrote it. hahaha. hopefully you will understand it.

the point was some other girls and i, sewed as many skirts as we wanted, and we are sending them to the little girls in Haiti because of course we all know they have nothing.

i am not a writer at all so don't judge my wording... i think that is why i stopped doing the my blog in the first place.

amy has a wonderful sense of humor and that is what makes you laugh.... tha is why i say her blog will make you laugh. it is late for me, so i guess i will go to bed now....

SKIRTS FOR HAITI..............

i came across a blog not to long ago and it said " SEWING SEED" it caught my attention. she got the idea from another blog that she follows. i read it and she was asking for anyone that wanted to help with sewing skirts for little girls in Haiti just email her and she would give you all the information that you need to do this. so i emailed her. first of all let me tell you how sweet this person is. i have followed her blog and her sewing blog (i will list it in the end of this post). i have talked to her a couple of times and she is such a sweet person. anyway, back to what i was saying, so i emailed her got the information about the skirts and made two sweet skirts for little girls in Haiti.... i had been wanting to do something anything and when i came across this, i knew i could do it.. i delivered them to her house today and she is going to ship them to the other girl that is heading this up and then the girl is going to have all the skirts that have been made to Haiti. i am just so proud of myself that first of all that i know how to sew and second i did something for someone else. i wish i could see those little faces when those boxes of skirts that we all sewed with such love and caring for these little girls. you know every little girl loves getting a new dress or a new skirt. i will post pictures of the two skirts that i did later. the blogs i am talking about that i follow is browniegoose.blogspot.com and her personal blog amysnorris.blogspot.com so check them out. i am sure you will get a good laugh at her personal blog. her little girl is the cutest.... THANKS AMY FOR DOING THIS.....

wow, i know!!

haven't posted in a long, long time. i have been face booking just like almost everyone else has been. i plan on getting everyone (if i haven't lost anyone) updated of what is going on with me and my little family. i will post pictures and tell you all some exciting news.... no we are nothing going to have another baby and no we are not moving off the face of the earth. anyway when i have time to really sit down, which will be in the next week, i will fill everyone in. until then, have a wonderful week ahead...

My Little Man - Nolan

O.K. so I posted a post on my sweet little girl, so I thought I needed a post for my little man. Nolan is truly all BOY. He loves to play baseball and racquetball with his daddy. He also LOVES to watch and play wrestling. He LOVES big monster trucks, motorcyles and everything that is a boy thing, as he likes to say it. As some of you know Kyle has a dirt bike. Well Kyle told me that when Nolan started wanting one of his own then it was time to sell his. Well, Nolan has been asking for a dirt bike just like daddys for his birthday. I looked at Kyle and said "well, it looks like it is time to sell your bike." Kyle looks at me and says, "oh I don't think so". He loves to crawl up in my lap and tell me stories about what he did at school (daycare) and how he was such a good boy. He tells me he loves me NO MATTER WHAT. He is growing up way too fast for me to think about. He will be 4 in July and I just can't wrap my mind around him starting BIG BOY SCHOOL in a year. Where does time go. He is my sweet little man and I love him to death. I don't have brothers so this little man thing is all new to me. I can't dress him like I want to because he thinks he looks like a baby. He likes getting his hair cut like A BIG BOY and I don't like that. Meaning getting it SHAVED OFF. He stays very close to his daddy at all times, but he loves giving me hugs and sugar nose like he has done his entire little life. I guess you could say is his a momma's baby, but he loves his daddy with his whole heart. I am so glad I have a Nolan, Mamie and Kyle to call my own. They are my life, my world and my everything.

My sweet little girl

Mamie has been asking me lots of questions about GOD. She asked me yesterday why we weren't missionaries and why we couldn't go to Mexcio and spread the word of Jesus? I told her that maybe one day when she gets a little older she could go on a mission trip and she could tell all the people about GOD. She laughed and said "well I guess if I were a missionary then you would miss me, so I guess that is why we aren't missionaries". I didn't have the heart to tell her if WE WERE ALL missionaries then WE WOULD ALL be together. She said "that would be so nice." Then she asked "when you and daddy went to Mexico last year did you tell people about GOD?" I told her no and then she wanted to know why we didn't because people need to know that God is GREAT and that he heals the sick and that he is wonderful and he answers your prayers and the list went on an on. She told me that she believes in GOD because without GOD then she wouldn't be here. O.k. so I am driving down the street listening to all she has to say about GOD and JESUS and how he is so good and I wonder to myself HOW LUCKY AM I to have such a sweet, kind hearted little girl. She thinks of others (sometimes) before she thinks of herself. She also wanted to know when she would be able to see grandmother Mamie again. I told her when she went to heaven grandmother Mamie would be waiting on her. She sat there for a second or two and said "well momma, I know that she is an angel and she is watching us right now." I said "that is right". She told me that she is learning so much about GOD from CC Ranch and her Sunday School Class and she couldn't wait to go to VBS at our Church next week. She is the most precious thing to me. I will have to say that she, Nolan and Kyle are the most precious things to me and I am so glad they are in my life and they call me Mom and Wife...

11 years plus

Kyle and I have been married for 11 years tomorrow, but we have been together for 17 years. I am so truly blessed to have this man in my life.
