I love to create new things. I have been working hard to get some crafts done before my first 2008 show on March 12th! I have Spring fever, since I have been creating all these Spring items! LOL~~ I am so tired of the cold weather and the snow! Spring invites new beginnings, warmth, blooming flowers and lots of smiles! I am so ready for that! I just designed another new chick pattern, Mrs. Feddars, and she turned out adorable! She is approximately 11" tall and soft and fuzzy! You can see a picture toward the bottom of the page under Latest Creations! I am excited to say, I will be offering patterns on my website soon for many of my original designs! I will let you know when they will be ready for purchase! As an introduction to my new pattern line, I will be offering a FREE Pattern soon!

As you all may know, my sister lost her first baby. She is scheduled for a DNC tomorrow morning. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers, as this is a very difficult time for everyone!

Appetizer:

Chicken Dip

Use 1/2 of an 8oz. tub Whipped Cream Cheese (Plain)

2 Tbsp. Garlic & Herb Cream Cheese (can add more if you like alot of Garlic flavor)

1 Lg. Can of White Meat Chicken (drained)

Mix all these ingredients together and chill for at least one hour before serving.

Serve with Crackers. I like using the Wheat Thins Chips!! They're Great!

My sister just found out yesterday that she did lose her baby. This is a very hard time for all of us. Please continue to pray for her.

I'll Never Know

By LisaMarie Emerle

How do I say goodbye ... when I didn't get to say hello? I want so bad to keep you ... how do I let you go? I have so many dreams, so much love I want to share

There's nothing I can do ...why is life unfair? You're my perfect angel...I dreamed you long ago

I never got to hold you but it breaks my heart to let you go

The pain and confusion I feel inside I can not explain...I can not describe

God will rock you in your cradle and watch you as you sleep

I will love you in my heart ... it's all I get to keep

You are blessed my child ... you're in heaven up above

You'll never be alone...you have Mommy & Daddy's love

Hush my little baby...you need not ever cry

You were always wanted! I wish you didn't die

You'll be my sunshine in the daylight and the brightest star at night

Reach for God's hand and go to the light

I would rather endure the pain of losing you right now

Then the thought of you suffering thru life...we'll get thru somehow

I was blessed to have you briefly...even though I have to let you go

I wish I knew the reason but I guess I'll never know.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day with your loved ones!

Impossible Situations Can Become Possible Miracles

Well, I am back from visiting my family in WV! I had a nice visit! I went with my sister to her appointment and we received some disturbing news. The doctor she saw was very cold and rude and told her that she wasn't hearing the baby's heartbeat and that her baby didn't make it and that they would need to do a DNC! My sister didn't know anything was wrong and hasn't been having any symptoms of a miscarriage or anything. She is so upset. My other sister called and scheduled an appt. with her OB/GYN so she could have a second opinion! So, needless to say, I stayed with her for a few days to give her support. She has an appointment with this doctor on Thursday morning, Feb. 14th. If you will, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers that everything is alright!

Sometimes we go through things that are difficult so we can become stronger and help other people! I have been in many tough situations and even though it hurts at the time, God always sees us through and gives us a new hope!

Today's Inspirations:

"You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry."

Psalm 10:17 NIV

"Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you."

1 Peter 5:7 KJV

Have you ever just been tired and didn't want to do anything at all? Well, today I am just tired....and....lazy! :) I have been working really hard to try and get all my new products finished before my next show in March!! Plus, working my part-time job and then coming home and doing things that "we wives/moms" have to do!! LOL :) It seems like it doesn't stop some days! I NEED A VACATION FOR ABOUT A WEEK~~NO PHONE~~NO CHORES~~NO BILLS~~NO RESPONSIBILITY!!! Wouldn't it be nice if we could just ignore everything whenever we wanted to? But~we can't, so we do the best we can do until we are able to have that time!! So, today, I will just trust God for a peaceful evening and a peaceful night's sleep!

Tomorrow is a new day~~a fun day for me!! I get to go see my family in WV for a couple days!! My youngest sister is expecting her first baby in September and has her first sonogram on Friday and wanted me to go with her! I am so excited to finally get to be an Aunt! I can't hardly wait for the baby to get here for me to spoil and love! If you would, please keep her in your prayers for a healthy pregnancy!

Inspiration for those of us who are weary today:

" '...The JOY of the Lord is your Strength.' "

Nehemiah 8:10 KJV

Welcome

Hello and Welcome to my little corner of the world. I hope to bring you lots of fun and inspiring thoughts to brighten your day! We all need that from time to time! :)

I think you will agree when I say, that our families and friends are an important part of our lives! Sure, we have our ups and downs with them at times, but we always love them no matter what! Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you were the only one alive? What would you do? Do you think you could actually survive without companionship of some kind? Well, I personally wouldn't like being alone! I love being with my family and friends! They make up a part of who I am! I don't know what I would do without them! They have helped me in so many ways and I want to Thank each one from the bottom of my heart for helping me become "Me"! So many times we just go about each day and never stop to think about the ones who helped us along the way! ~Guilty!!~ I think it is important for us to realize the value of our family and friends! Let's take time to tell them how much we appreciate them~it will make a difference in all of us!
