Work this morning

This is what I was working on this morning.  Now I shall take them to the flower shop.  The heart button card was the one that took the most time.  only one I am making any time soon!!  Pictures are supposed to say more than words so that's it for words today.  Off to the flower shop.

First Day of the Week

Today is Sunday, the first day of the week.  For me, Sundays are usually a six o'clock morning, although it wasn't this morning, today was a lot closer to seven.  With the new short do, a wetting of the hair or, better yet, a shower is usually a must. Due to the lateness of the getting up this morning it was a taming of the hair more so than control of it :) I was up earlier because Caleb was asking to watch a show at 5:35am. Why you might ask, well it isn't a school day.  The boy needs a lot of coaxing on those days to make it for 6:30, not Saturday and Sunday.  Enough said.
Needless to say, I fell back asleep.  So I was a little rushed but made it to church set up for 8:09am, a few minutes behind but no big deal.  Spending my morning in the house of God, listening to Pastor and friend John,  I enjoy Sundays to no end.  Can you say PEOPLE! (or my PEEPS!) Had friends over for a turkey lunch, and a different set of friends later on in the afternoon for Pillsbury chocolate chunk cookies and some games.  Just EXCELLENT company from the early am until late night.  Even now as I type, my hubby and a terrific friend are visiting.
People are so essential to me.  People, in general, fascinate me, but friends and family are priceless in my book.  In God's book too, for that matter.  I know I fall short(who doesn't) in some areas, but relationships are at the top of my list in importance.  I could see you only once a year but I do not love you any less than the ones I see everyday.  I might not get the opportunity to connect with some as much as others but you are all precious to my heart.
Sundays remind me that this is a relational world.  That God designed it as such so that we need each other to succeed in life.  I am not an island; neither are you, regardless of how you perceive yourself.  Thanks for being part of my life, I need you ;-)

My boys

Today is a snow day. The boys are home due to the temperature being -38 this morning! It's a great day so far. This pic is for you aunties and uncles out there:)

Brrrrr

Well, it is -30 here in Sundre, Alberta.  The kids did go to school and my plan is to stay home and keep warm.  BTW, I now have short dark hair with lots of vibrant red in it.  Post a picture later, when it isn't slept on hair.  It has been an excellent start to the week. Went to Red Deer Word of Life to hear Steve Murrell speak.  He was great!!  Spent a terrific day with my hubby yesterday, and topped off the night with the last episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" season 4. (Thanks for the addiction, sister Jennifer)
Now to go downstairs where I have turned on the heater and make some cards for the Forget-Me-Not Flower shop here in town. :)

New Year

My wonderful brother-in-love Damon had the most fantastic idea: blogging everyday for the year 2012. He is taking a picture about something that happened that day or what is important to him and writing a short paragraph. I want to do it too... With slight modifications. I do not promise a picture with every post or a post every day. I would like to do a post every day and I will try that but my commitment is for three posts a week. Thank you Damon for the idea and I do look forward to getting to know you better this year.
So that is my first blog.
