THANK YOU KERI

THIS AWARD WAS GIVEN TO ME BY KERI IN OCTOBER. I'M SORRY IT'S TAKEN ME SO LONG TO GET THIS POSTED BUT LIFE JUST GETS IN THE WAY SOMETIMES.

THE RULES ARE TELL SIX THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF THAT YOUR READERS DON'T KNOW AND PASS IT ON TO SIX PEOPLE.

1. I'M AFRAID OF THE DARK. I CAN HANDLE IT IN THE HOUSE BUT NOT OUTSIDE.

2. I'M AFRAID OF THE WATER. WHO KNOWS WHAT'S IN THERE THAT YOU CAN'T SEE. 3. I HATE HOUSEWORK. I'D RATHER DIG A DITCH OUTSIDE ANY DAY.

4.I USED TO THINK CROCHETED THINGS WERE UGLY. I WAS YOUNG AND DIDN'T KNOW BETTER. WHO KNEW I'D BE CROCHETING ALL THE TIME WHEN I GOT OLD.

5. I'M FEELING REALLY GUILTY ABOUT #4. I MEAN REALLY REALLY GUILTY.

6. I DON'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT MYSELF BUT I CAN TALK ABOUT MAKING THINGS TO DONATE ALL DAY LONG.

OK I DID IT AND IT DIDN'T HURT TO BAD IF YOU DON'T COUNT #4. NOW TO PASS IT ON. I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE IT TO ANYONE WHO WANTS IT. SO IF YOU READ MY BLOG AND YOU THINK THIS IS AS CUTE AS I DO PLEASE TAKE IT AND PLAY ALONG.

THANKS KERRI.

CHEST OF DRAWERS

DEBBIE ( SHE BOUGHT MY FATHER-IN-LAWS HOUSE ACROSS THE ROAD FROM US) CALLED US IN NOVEMBER ABOUT SOMETHING AND TIM WENT ACROSS THE ROAD TO SEE IF HE COULD HELP HER. SHE LATER CALLED TO SEE IF HE HAD TOLD ME THAT HER SISTER HAD A BEDROOM SUIT FOR SELL PRETTY CHEAP IF WE WANTED IT. HE HAD AND WE DID. I CALLED MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AND SISTER-IN-LAW AND WE FOLLOWED DEBBIE TO GO LOOK AT IT. SHE WANTED 50.00 FOR IT. IT'S A BROYHILL! WE LOADED IT UP AND I WENT TO PAY FOR IT AND SHE SAID IT HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. WELL I STARTED CRYING AND SAID NO IT HADN'T AND DEBBIE SAID IT HAD. WELL TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT I HAVE A NEW BEDROOM SUIT THANKS TO DEBBIE AND HER SISTER.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HAD A BEDROOM SUIT THAT EVERYTHING MATCHED AND THE FIRST NEW MATTRESS SET. WE GOT NEW THINGS FOR THE KIDS BUT NOT FOR US. I LOVE MY NEW BEDROOM SET AND LOOOOVE MY NEW MATTRESS.

I HAVE PLANS ON PAINTING THE WALLS THIS SPRING. TIM CAN'T BREATHE THE PAINT FUMES SO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I CAN OPEN THE WINDOWS.

I TOOK THE PICTURES VERY CAREFULLY SO YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING BUT THE FURNITURE. I WANT TO TAKE BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES LATER TO POST.

I MISS MY IN-LAWS A LOT BUT I'M SO THANKFUL DEBBIE MOVED NEXT DOOR. I FEEL LIKE I'VE KNOWN HER ALL MY LIFE. I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK HER. SHE 'S THERE WHEN I NEED TO CRY WHEN I NEED TO BE SILLY OR JUST NEED A FRIEND. I'M JUST SO BLESSED TO HAVE SO MANY FRIENDS.

THANK YOU ALLYSON

THESE WERE IN A BOX FROM ALLYSON BACK IN NOVEMBER OR SO. I GOT TO KNOW ALLYSON THROUGH EGF, WE BOTH DONATE THINGS THERE. I THOUGHT SHE HAD SENT ME SOMETHING SHE HAD MADE FOR ME TO DONATE SOMEWHERE. SHE'S SENT ME HATS BEFORE TO SEND TO ST. JUDE. I CRIED LIKE A BABY WHEN I OPENED THE BOX. IT WAS FOR ME, ALL FOR ME. SHE HAD SAW MY BLOG ABOUT ALL THE TROUBLE TIM WAS HAVING AND SHE SENT ME A BOX FULL OF LOVE AND ENCOURAGEMENT ALL WRAPPED UP IN PRAYERS. THANK YOU SO MUCH ALLYSON YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH YOUR ACT OF KINDNESS MEANT TO ME. I KEEP THE ANGEL ON THE TV (SO WE CAN SEE IT AND KNOW YOU LOVE US AND ARE PRAYING FOR US) AND THE CANDLE IN THE BEDROOM (SO I CAN TAKE THE TOP OFF AND SMELL IT BEFORE I GO TO BED). I'M SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU AS MY FRIEND. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU AND YOUR SON SAFE.

CROCHETING

THIS IS MY FIRST FINISHED PROJECT FOR 2010. THIS IS A WHEELCHAIR WRAP THAT WILL GO TO THE NURSING HOME. THEY SEEM TO LIKE THESE BETTER THAN LAPGHANS.

THIS IS A LITTLE PREEMIE BLANKET THAT I STARTED WHILE WAITING FOR TIM TO GET ONE OF HIS TEST DONE IN DECEMBER. THERE WAS THE SWEETEST LADY THAT STARTED TALKING TO ME WHILE I WAS CROCHETING. SHE HAD GOTTEN TO WHERE SHE COULDN'T CROCHET ANYMORE. WHILE WE WERE TALKING SHE JUST STARTED PULLING THE YARN OUT AS I CROCHETED. WE NEARLY GOT IT MADE. I COULD SEE IN HER EYES THAT IT MEANT A LOT TO HER TO BE ABLE TO TOUCH THE YARN AND BE ABLE TO HELP. I THINK OF HER WHEN I MAKE A PREEMIE BLANKET NOW.

A BLUE PREEMIE BLANKET.

I FINISHED THIS LITTLE SET YESTERDAY. I MADE UP THE BLANKET PATTERN SO IT WOULD GO WITH THE GOWN I CAME UP WITH. THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME EDGING. NOW IF I CAN FIND TIME TO WRITE IT DOWN BEFORE I FORGET WHAT I DID. I ALSO NEED TO BUY MORE RIBBON SO I CAN PUT THE OTHER BOW ON IT. COME TO THINK OF IT I MAY SEW LITTLE PINK PRE MADE BOWS ON IT SO I CAN GET IT BAGGED UP AND READY TO SHIP.

TIM'S IN THE WOODS AGAIN SO I'M GOING TO SEE IF I CAN GET CAUGHT UP ON MY POSTING. HE REALLY DID LIGHT UP WHEN I READ HIM THE COMMENTS SOME OF YOU LEFT ABOUT HIM KILLING A DEER. THANK YOU!

WELL TIM GOT HIS DEER AT 12:55 PM YESTERDAY. IT WAS A SMALL BUCK. HE HAD A WONDERFUL DAY HUNTING. HE KEEPS SAYING HOW MUCH HE ENJOYED IT.

WE DIDN'T GET VERY MUCH SNOW BUT IT WAS ENOUGH.

COCOA REALLY DON'T LIKE THE SNOW OR THE COLD. HER DADDY HAD TO PICK HER UP. I WAS DOING MY BEST TO GET HER TO GET IN THE SNOW SO I COULD GET HER PICTURE, BUT NO LUCK. TIM HAD TO GET ON THE GROUND AND CALL HER.

SNOW

TIM WANTED TO HUNT IN THE SNOW TODAY AND HERE IT COMES. THE NEWS SAID WE MAY GET UP TO 3 INCHES. IT'S BEEN REALLY COLD SO WHATEVER WE GET IT WILL STAY. I JUST HOPE WE GET ENOUGH FOR HIM TO SEE LITTLE DEER TRACKS IN THE SNOW. HE TOOK ENOUGH FOOD TO STAY ALL DAY AND HE HAS A HEATER TO KEEP HIM WARM. I THINK HE'S HUNTING IN A 8X8 SHOOTING HOUSE ALSO. WE HAVE DIFFERENT SIZE HOUSES BUT I THINK HE'S IN ONE OF THE BIGGER ONES TODAY. OUR SON WENT WITH HIM BUT HAD TO GO HOME AT LUNCH. I'M TO CALL IF HIS DAD GETS ANYTHING SO HE CAN GO BACK AND HELP GET IT HOME. TIM CAN'T LIFT ANYTHING LIKE THAT. HE DON'T HAVE TO WALK TO HIS STAND EITHER, WE HAVE EVERYTHING WORKED OUT SO HE CAN HUNT WITHOUT HURTING HIMSELF.

NEW CAMERA

I GOT A NEW CAMERA TODAY. HERE IS THE PICTURE I WANTED TO SHOW YOU. IT'S A CROP-A-DILE. YOU CAN PUNCH HOLES AND INSERT LITTLE EYELETS INTO THE HOLE. TIM HAS ME MAKING A SECRET PROJECT FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR. THIS WILL HELP OUT SO MUCH. HE DOES ALL THE WORK WITH IT. THAT WAY IT'S FROM BOTH OF US.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

WE HAVE A DATE

WE GET TO THE HOSPITAL AT 5:00 AM AND THEY START AT 7:30 AM ON THE 19TH OF JAN. TIM TOLD DR. NEWTON TO GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP. HE SAID HE WASN'T ON CALL MONDAY BUT WOULD BE ON CALL TUE. SO HE CAN KEEP AN EYE ON TIM DURING THE NIGHT.
TIM HAS TWO WEEKS TO HUNT NOW. HE HAS COCOA SPOILED ROTTEN. I DIDN'T THINK SHE COULD GET ANY WORSE BUT I WAS WRONG.
I'M DOING A LOT OF CLEANING A LITTLE CRAFTING AND SPENDING TIME WITH TIM. I CAN'T GET THE PICTURES OFF OF MY CARD FOR SOME REASON. SO I'LL TRY AGAIN ANOTHER DAY. I WANTED TO SHOW YOU A PICTURE OF MY NEWEST SCRAP BOOKING TOOL. OH WELL. HAVE A GREAT DAY AND GOD BLESS.
