A Christmas Party and Pics from Thanksgiving


Last night was Hubby's business party. It was really nice getting to know some of the cast of characters I hear about every day. Hubby and I have gotten to be good friends of a couple that works with Dan so it was nice to see them again. I also had a great time admiring the attire of the evening. There were everything from sweater sets and skirts to floor length gowns. Some men wore their suits they have for work every day while still others had festive tuxes. I may have enjoyed me super fun purple dress but I don't think I took off my coat for any longer a time than it took to take the above picture. I was a bit on the chilly side. Next year I'm going to have a sweater set. It was nice to dress up. I even made jewelry especially for this evening. I don't have pictures of that though. About the Christmas party though. They actually said a prayer in Jesus' name. Awesome! There were a few hundred people filling up the ballroom of the Hampton Roads Convention Center. I was impressed.
It did take us an hour and a half to get there. I had already made the drive twice this last week so around 11:30pm as I could barely stay awake to keep Hubby awake on our drive home I decided we need to get moved ASAP. God has most obviously had His hand on Hubby for the last 10 months as he has made this drive. I don't know how he has done it. I'm using every super power I have to get us moved down there post haste.
I had promised you all pics from Thanksgiving. Sorry they are late. Before Thanksgiving, Nags Head North Carolina sustained some permanent damage due to a mighty storm and this is what was left. The beach lost ten feet of sand. My heart goes out to these home owners as they cannot rebuild.














I could literally stand under that white stair case and not touch it.



10 feet high embankment



It was a bit windy.




What a perfect pair.

I knew she was an angel.

Some incredible pictures! The wind was blowing. We have it like that in Kansas.

You did a book interview with me, but did you ever get a book? If you'll send me an address I'll send you one. I'd prefer a po box or business rather than your home, and I'd like to send it in your husband's name.

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...
