Christmas!

2011-11-28T08:39:00.000-08:00

I love this time of year, but my favorite thing is getting to the mailbox each day and getting new Christmas cards from everyone I love and know. I'm ordering some super cute ones from Tiny Prints this year that are round so that I can mail them, and use them as gift tags on our presents.

Sooo many cute choices!

Shutterfly Holiday Promotion!

2010-11-18T16:07:00.000-08:00

I am so excited this year about using Shutterfly for my Christmas cards. I love love love their quality pictures and have ordered many really cute things from them. This year I am going to have a hard time choosing which of these cards to order but, hey if its free, then that makes it even more fun to shop!!! One of my favorite things that I have ordered from them was a book that I made last year for all of Mr R's pics. It was so quick and easy and they turned out great. I only wish that I had ordered myself one as well. :) I have also ordered anything from mouse pads, calendars, 4 x 6 pictures, and canvases. And you really can't beat the prices! I plan on using these cards to send out to family and friends this Christmas season with pictures of our family. :) I really like this card, but there are just so many to choose from, it is going to be such a hard decision!

What to wear???

2009-11-23T06:23:00.000-08:00

The age old question - what will I wear? Now with a child, it's what will he wear? We went to an alumni event at a football game and of course, we had to have a football outfit to match the day.

More projects

Sewing is Spiritual

2009-10-12T08:21:00.000-07:00

Lately I have been praying and trying to find a new balance as a stay at home mom. My life has changed dramatically in this past year! I went from working, to staying at home, moved to a new city and having a baby. As I try to adjust to me new life and how to be used by God in this new calling, the Lord has revealed to me some things through sewing. I love to sew because it is a stress release for me, but as I have been making my little man's clothes I thought about the Proverbs 31 women. She worked willingly with her hands, she made coverings for herself and for her family. She is an encouragement to me as I try to find my duties as a new mom. When I feel tired from staying up throughout the night with a crying baby, I ask the LORD for strength and He willing gives it. When I debated if I should try to work from home, I looked at Proverbs 31 and saw that the example of a Godly women that she worked from home. I wake up in the morning and pray over Proverbs 31 for wisdom on how to use my days. "Make the most of your time, because the days are evil." Eph 5:16

Hello Blogging World!
