Woah Time Flies!

Hey everyone out there! So much has been happening. I probably have a ton of pictures to share, but that will have to come later. I know this is a public thing so don't want to say to much. Hubby lost his job back in April and is still trying to find a job. I'm currently helping a lady out from Church. We are probably getting ready to move in with my parents and give up our house. It makes me very sad, but with no money coming in we can't keep it. I know God has a reason for all this, but I just wish I knew what this reason was. Moving in with my parents will be an interesting thing that's for sure. Privacy and craft space will be limited. Unless they let me use their garage LOL We are currently using our garage for craft space and computer space, etc.

On the up side my hubby and I have taken to teaching the little kids at Church on Wednesday nights. It's been a lot of fun.

I've also been making a lot of cards. I'm hoping to sell some of my cards. We shall see.

On another down side about 2 weeks ago a very good friend of mine moved to North Carolina. It was a very sad day. I know that I will see her again soon because we have a lot of her things and her dog. So that makes 3 dogs in our house. Our own dog, her dog and my in-laws dog. They had to move out of their house too. Very interesting how things are going.

I'm keeping my faith and putting my trust in God that everything will work out for the best. Hubby is currently at a job interview. I pray everything goes well.

I guess that will be all from me for now. Just needed to get some things off my chest. Hopefully after hubby's interview we will go to the school to have lunch with our oldest daughter and go another day to have lunch with our youngest. My youngest just started Kindergarten :) Yes I'm getting off LOL I just love to ramble.

Have a great day to whoever is reading this!!

Birthday Poem!

So I forgot last night in my long post about my birthday. I celebrated my 32nd birthday on October 12. I got a lot of lovely gifts, but one my favorite and memorable gifts is the gift that my hubby gave to me. He wrote me a poem. The first poem he has written to me since we've been together. So without further ado here it is:

Happy Birthday, My Wife.

With you for another year
I've gotta tell you something, my dear,
I'm happy with this God given life. . .

Life, what a ride,
But with you by my side
Nothing can come between us, my wife.

We've had our ups and downs
But, we've both hung around
Because there's nothing as great as this love.

You're the one meant for me,
And the older I get, I see,
That this was designed from above.

So, happy birthday once again,
I'm the luckiest of men
Having your smile and your heart.

May the next year be great,
I know this must be fate,
And I know that we'll never part.

I love this man with all of my heart and soul. I just had to share what a special gift I received.

Woah Where does the time go?

So I'm guessing that I should say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! We had a great Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! I decided that I would dress up for Halloween this year. I decided to go as a Punk Rocker. Here's a picture of my transformation.



This was so far out of my comfort zone, but oh so much fun!! I'm even thinking of getting my hair done this way without the pink! My youngest went as Ariel and my oldest was a Toga girl. Had to come up with a last minute costume for her because she kept complaining about the one she had.

In November we went to hubby's Aunt & Uncles 50th Wedding Anniversary. We all got to dress up. It was a lot of fun! I have tons of pictures that I could show you from all of these events, but I won't bore you even though I would love to LOL

We did get Family Christmas Pictures done. I will show you my favorite from this. My friend Missy took our pictures! Thank you Missy!! LOVE THEM!!!


Ok so I just have to bore you with one picture or maybe 4 from Aunt Pat & Uncle Don's Anniversary because 1. my girls got to dress up 2. I love the pictures and 3. Because its my blog and I can!!





In December my youngest daughter Ally had a Christmas play at her preschool. She got to be the main Angel Gabriel. It was exciting. When my oldest daughter Abby went to this preschool she was Mary. Here is Ally :)

Eric and I also did the Breast Cancer walk in October with his work. We both have family members that had it.

Pretty much sums up the last few months except for one last thing.

I'm starting up a little business making cards and here is a set of Baby Shower Cards that I made for a lady that hubby works with. They are for her Sister In Law. My friend Missy drew the Snoopy's for me and I scanned them and resized them and then cut the little buggers out LOL


So this pretty much sums up my last few months of not blogging :)

One last thing before I log off for the night. For those of you that read my blog can you say an extra little prayer for my friend Missy's Grandpa. She is currently visiting him and he's not doing good. Thanks! We are here for you Missy! *BIG HUGS* Love ya girl!

So in closing God Bless and have a great evening!!!

MIL's Thank You Cards

Here is the picture I promised to share of the cards I made for my MIL for her to send out at work. I bought the swiss dot and argyle folders just for these cards :) My MIL loved them. I'll be making 20 of them.

Thanks for looking.

Time for a Catch Up!!

So I think its time to catch up. The girls have started back to school. Abby is in the 2nd grade and my baby girl is in preschool! They are both doing great!

I have done some scrapbooking lately. Well, at least in the form of making cards. I made a 100 invitations for Eric's Aunt Jerri. Wow that was a task :)



The next cards that I'm working on is my cousins Change of Address cards and my MIL's Thank You cards for work. I have to make about 50 change of address and about 20 Thank You's. Here is a picture of the Change of Address card. I haven't taken a picture of the Thank You's. I promise to share that when I get it taken :)
(Keep an eye out Donna! )


I did start up a Book Club and we've only read 1 book and had 1 meeting so far. the 2nd book that we chose to read I did read, but circumstance came up that we couldn't all get together for our 2nd meeting. I'm sure that we will get together soon.

Well, this is a short update, but the girls want to go swimming and its an hour before bedtime :)

Hope everyone in the blogger world has a great evening!!!
