My Friends Rock

I needed a few more photos taken for a new listing I am putting in my shop. My girlfriend LeAnne took the ones of my cuff bracelets and today I called on Sonya.

Making her debut on my blog.....Sonya!! They turned out great, thanks for helping me out :)

Just Listed

I just listed this in my Etsy shop. More colors to come and other items. After 2 years of having an etsy shop I have actually posted something. It was a scary step for me!!

Things I Learned Camping

It was his birthday and he had a blast!! The question who ate who?
Things moved quickly from this

To this.....The smoke from the campfire was unyielding and the wind was relentless. This made for a not so fun campfire experience.
This girl had soccer on Sat morning and she made a goal(well she always makes a goal) and she loves camping
Please notice the boy in the green shirt in the tree....why yes that is Keegan in a tree again. I swear he should have been a monkey. The kid without the shirt is not mine, but a friend.
Piper had to be embarrassed and wear those booties that you see lying there in the photo. The sand spurs were TERRIBLE they alone have made me never want to camp at this state park again.
After a HOT Friday night and Saturday afternoon we woke up to a windy cold Sunday. These are the friends we went with, and Avery.

Lesson 1: Never camp at fIrst LanDing state park again, unless we have no kids or animals along.
Lesson 2: Never camp again with out the Lil' Lemondrop, does this really need an explanation??????
Lesson 3: Refer back to 1 and 2.
Lesson 4: Make sure everyone is on the same page as you when it comes to cooking and being prepared......

Other than that there were memories made and some fun times had. Oh yeah one thing on the plus side, the shower rooms were nice so I give them an A+

***Delena Thank you so much for my lovely surprise in the mail. Your kind words were much needed and appreciated more than you will ever know!!!

What I've Always Wanted

Here is just one more thing that I would love to sit next to my vintage camper. It even comes in pink!!! It would be an awesome birthday gift, any takers???

Second Wind

For the last month or so things haven't been the greatest for me. I have had a lot to deal with internally. I am still prayerfully dealing with these private matters, but in the mean time I have finally caught my second wind. I have allowed school to slack just getting by doing math and spelling most days, but no more. Tomorrow I will be going at it head first. I need to start putting the pieces back together so my life is something that I recognize. The rest I am leaving to the Lord to get back on track. I thank Him daily for the great friends(who have become my family)that I have to lean on and listen and care so big it makes me emotional to think about. I am so glad I serve and awesome God whom I can run to in all the peaks and valleys of my life. It is truly humbling to know His love and understanding never ceases!!!

For a Friend

My latest crochet project for Margaret.

Pattern from www.ravelry.com, I did alter the pattern a bit to fit better.

This Ones For YOU Fairmaiden:)

A side by side of me and my mom. Although my dad would like nothing more than for one of us to look like him, we all seem to resemble my mom. With the exception of my freckles....those I get from my Daddy!!!
