Thanksgiving Thursday, a participation by all...and a prize

Update: Beth you better get me your phone number pronto missy! I want to come see that little boy of yours in the worst way! As soon as I read your comment I swear my eyes filled with tears.

I'm thankful for my two favorite people in the whole world. Wow, this is a picture taken about a month ago. Sarah was so small. She is very much not that small anymore. She's quite long.

OK I'm going to write three more things I am thankful for and you can add three yourself. I want to hear from everybody on this one. Its important to share because sharing happy combats all that negative out there.

Also if you do you may win a little prize. What you have to do is go to the previous post, answer those three questions then come to this post and write your three things you are thankful for. I will pick one lucky winner and mail you your favorite candy. How about that? :) I will tell you the winner tomorrow morning.

My thankfulls:

1.The new lap top that will be coming eventually (on hold for now, but when it gets here, there will be a new blog with even more prizes and fun stuff then.)
2. All the wonderful children in my family, having Sarah has made me want to get to know them better and spend more time with them.
3.diaper baggies that smell like baby powder. With all this back and forth to Hampton looking at houses, they really come in handy.

OK your turn.

That we still have jobs.
That my new glasses actually allow me to read the word verification in order to make a comment.
That through modern communication I can keep in touch with friends like you.

Three Things I am Thankful For:

1) I only have to work part-time. We could use the extra money from full-time work, but I'd rather work at home. This way, I can bring in a little money, and be at home the rest of the day.

2) A great church and church family.

3) God, my husband, family, and friends!

Great list, Katie. Sharing happy definitely combats all the negativity out there.

Me, I'm thankul for the rain falling outside my window right now, the fact that it's falling on a sprouting garden, and the fact that I have a roof over my head so it's not falling on me.

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
