What a weekend! :)

We had a very fun, full of adventure weekend here. We got to meet a very sweet young lady and get to know her better and can't wait for her next visit...

We started out our weekend with a visit from Gideon... He is such a blast to get going! He was laughing so hard from his tickles that he turned red and couldn't catch his breath. Don't worry, we gave him a break so he was ready for more tickles from everyone!

Next, we went to Dibrell to play a little ball. Again, that was so much fun. I don't play so I got lots of photos! The kids really were tired and decided to goof off on the playground a bit before we left.

Next was a little bit of fishing. I think they caught a few fish... not enough to keep though. They also had an adventure to the creek and caught some crawfish but I stayed home and cooked dinner so no pictures of the creek!
So we are off to a great start for summer! I can't wait to go on more adventures!!!

Graduation photos!

So graduation was last night and it was so nice out! There was a slight breeze and we sat in the grass on the side of the hill. My sweet honey took the pictures last night and here are a couple of my favorites!

So he's a graduate and the next chapter will start soon! :)

Another Busy Week!

It's been so busy here with us doing a little remodeling, a Kindergarten & High School graduation & getting to meet a very sweet young lady.

Yesterday was the day we got to meet the young lady we may get to adopt and everything went well. We have made plans to have her this weekend and we'll see how things go from there. Talk about stress! It's been so busy and full that today I am so emotional that if you look at me wrong, I may start crying.

I mean, my oldest baby is graduating High School and our lives could be changing again soon. Just a lot to sink in at once.

In other news, I've got a couple of orders to get out and lots of great stuff to create for the Jamboree! :)

Off to get ready for graduation! If you see a blubbering idot that can't stop crying, it's probably me! Say a little prayer for me and my family!

So which Rockin' Mom???

Get's the Purse? Well, I had a really hard time deciding but I really LOVED Brandie's story of the first girl's trip/luggage... so, without further delay, I picked Brandie's Mom!!!

Brandie, you can just email me and we can figure out a delivery day!

In other news, we got the sheetrock done on the ceiling in our addition. We still have to frame in where our living room & computer room windows used to be and then we can sheetrock the walls. Talk about tons of work left! I do think I will love it once it's all done! :)

I guess we better get busy with some of the work that's left huh? ;o)

No Rockin Mom's out there?

Just kind of curious... is everyone just busy with end of the school year events? That's why the give-a-way is a bit late but still, better late than never.

Only one entry so far so she has an awesome chance at winning this bag! LOL, I guess I'll just have to post pictures to entice you to enter huh?

Ok here's a sneak peek! :)

So, if you guys want a chance at this gorgeous bag, you better get your entries in! :)

In other news: We will be having a special visitor next week... she's 11 and loves sports and Mexican food. So, I will be cooking Chicken Enchiladas for her and see how it goes. If everything goes well, we are planning a weekend visit that could change into a permanent placement for her. It feels like everything is in slow motion and Thursday of next week will never get here but I know things are moving very quickly. Please pray for us and our family. We want this young lady to be apart of our family but most importantly, we want what's best for everyone!

A Give-A-Way for Mother's Day

I made an awesome handbag for this give-a-way...featuring some beautiful Amy Butler prints and a fabulous vintage brown swiss dot print. I really am having to make myself give this one away.

To enter, tell me your best "mom" story... it can be funny, sad, the best thing about her or just whatever. Basically, Tell me Why your MOM ROCKS!!!

Me and my family will pick a winner out of all the entries received by Midnight Friday, May 15th. The lucky winner will be notified Monday morning!

If you are from out of town, I'll be glad to ship this out to your mom!

Here's a peek...

Nothing much going on here...

Except being busy! :) I did get out a couple of orders this week but other than that, not much sewing. I have been catching up on housework and laundry. Anyone want to do my laundry for me? It really piled up!

That's a photo of my neighbor's laundry out to dry last summer... did you really think I'd hang mine out to "dry" in the rain??? I don't think I've seen a day that it hasn't rained in a while!

I have also been preparing for the possibility of a new family member; nothing for sure yet so I'll just leave it at that for now.

We have lots of stuff going on here... preparing for graduation, finishing the addition, wondering when we will ever be able to mow our yard again... you know, just stuff. My time off has really been busy!

Today, I think I'm heading to the sewing room to create me a couple of simple skirts. I've been meaning to do this for a bit now but mostly, there hasn't been time. I'll be back to sewing full swing for the next show next week so I really do need to do this while I can... Maybe a purse to match??? Hhhhmmmm, I have just the bag in mind!

Wonderful Craft Show!

I just want to thank everyone for such a wonderful, successful, PERFECT show at Bobby Ray! I got to meet so many of you guys that read the blog and lots of new people that don't read it...

With Brandie's booth so close to mine, Kara and Lauren hit it off and had a great time playing and checking out all the vendors. A special thanks to little Lauren as she was a great help when it came time to take the booth down! It was so sweet watching the girls work together to put everything into their proper place! Thanks so much Lauren!!!

The rain held off to allow many visitors to come out and browse all the great booths that set up.

You guys made all the hard work worth all the effort. :o)

For those of you that didn't get to make it out there, I do have some inventory left and will be creating LOTS of new stuff for the Jamboree in July! If you see something you just love in the photos, drop me an email and I'll let you know if it's still available.

I will be limiting my orders from now until July to afford me lots of time to create lots of fabulous new items and get a beautiful booth designed.

Thanks again for a wonderful show!

Bobby Ray Craft Show

Tomorrow is the Craft Show... I'm so excited! Be sure to stop by and let me know you read the blog!

Lots of great gifts, bows, clippies, Rag Babies and so much more than I could tell you!

I'm pretty wiped out tonight so I'm going to go crash.

See you tomorrow!!!
