Okay, these were fun:
I’m not sure what happened to me this month: very few on the Christmas photos, way too many on the craft ones. Sorry if your eyes have totally rolled to the back of your head this month while I get all the sewing out of my system. It will all come to [...]
Becky came over today. We’ve met in real life before because we share a mutual friend in Marcie, but we’ve not really interacted much in person. Just on blogs. Today she dropped by with her sweet girls and we traded teacher gifts. I gave her a tea wallet and she gave me this fabtastico travel [...]
Taking a cue from Sarita at Sonlight, I got this great idea to go camping this fall – as in the kind where you get tents and go into the woods and you sleep there overnight. I know, anyone who knows us well has fallen out of his or her chair in sheer shock, but [...]
…Anne for giving me a Blogging Gold Card, with which the only thing I can do is regift. Thanks, Anne!
There are some strings attached. The rules say I need to pass it on:
1. Only 5 people allowed.
2. 4 have to be dedicated followers of your blog
3. One has to be someone new or recently new [...]
Little known fact: Monica, who keeps the wildly popular blog The Homespun Heart is a real-life friend. We met in Colorado Springs back when we both still lived there.
Better known fact: Monica is hosting a pretty sweet Lands’ End giveaway right now to win a new swimming suit. With as much as we’ve been going [...]
…the mice will host out of town guests and catch up on three years worth of scrapbook photos!
Here’s a photo of my friend Marcie, with all 8 of our kids. What, you can’t see 8 kids in this photo? That’s because two of them haven’t been born yet. It was fun to talk twins with [...]
I received a renewed confirmation of my giftings last night, and remembered I don’t have a leader personality. My friend, Joanna, had a baby last week and I planned a baby shower for her; the problem with this was that I sort of kept forgetting I was planning a baby shower for her. By myself. [...]
If you need a friend
Don’t look to a stranger
You know in the end
I’ll always be there
And when you’re in doubt
And when you’re in danger
Take a look all around
And I’ll be there
I’m sorry but I’m just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don’t sound the way I planned them to be
But if you [...]
Eleven years or so ago we were in the wedding season of life with all of our friends. Shortly after this, we entered baby season. We are now currently in graduation season, which isn’t difficult to understand given that we’re in seminary and Craig’s a high school teacher.
My brother-in-law graduated with his D. Min today [...]
We’re going to a graduation party on Saturday night for these tired finished wiped out totally brilliant seminarians. Dude, it’s like totally an 80’s party.
I had an 80’s party for Craig when he turned 30. He Who Will Not Be Surprised totally was, and it was a really fun party. We had some 65 people [...]
Toads Drink Coffee – Margie Haack is blogging now. Go forth and read!
Kept Things – People at Catapult wrote little bits about random things they keep. I’m not really a “people at Catapult” but I also have a little bit in there – it comes at the end.
I need some help in turning [...]
Craig scored two tickets to see Celtic Woman at the Fox Theater. We sat next to Dan and Debbie Doriani and got some great tricks and tips to use on to train up the girls. Our seats were ten rows from the stage and I tried to cement what the Fox looked like from that [...]
Okay, true confessions here: this isn’t a craft blog. Sometimes I totally wish I were as inspired as many of the craft bloggers who exist out there, but it just isn’t happening around here. I’m certainly still in my season of sewing, but I also certainly know that it will eventually come to a screeching [...]
Our friend, Lou, is getting married on Saturday. The funny thing about our relationship with Lou is that we first met her at Eagle Lake Camp a loooonnnnggggg time ago when she was in high school and we were much younger too. We lost track after many years and then bumped into each other again [...]
See? I really can play well with others. I’m fulfilling my second tag within about a week. Yay! This tag brought to you by my friend-in-real-life, Jess.
Now the directions – Share five random and/or weird facts about yourself; Share the five top places on your “want to see or want to see again” list; Tag [...]
