1, 2, 3...Get off my Father's Apple Tree

I have seriously got to learn to run faster, so I won't be tagged. Thanks a lot Karen. I take back my offering of watching your kids anytime...Ha ha...Just kidding!!! :)

Ok...7 random things about this gal...

1. I would love to pursue photography and be professional someday.

2. I want to open a Scrapbook Store

3. Karen this is for you...I want twins! Can't help it...maybe you could beat some reality into me.

4. I take piano lessons hoping that some day, I'll actually be able to play hymns like normal pianists.

5. I was a big prankster in college! I love having fun!!

6. If I could change something about my appearance-besides the obvious one about losing weight-it would be my teeth.

7. My favorite store is Hobby Lobby. Go figure!

Hopefully the people I tag haven't been tagged yet. However, since I'm so slow at running I may not be able to catch up to them. Mom, Rachel, Jackie T., Regi, Jenn, Janella, & Katie

My little kid

Wesley's birthday is next week, so his parents brought some of his cards to him this weekend. Once he saw what was in them, we obviously had to go spend it right away! He's been waiting to get this train set at Hobby Lobby for quite a few months now. So, we printed off one of their trusty little coupons and away we went. He is like a little boy...he got a big grin on his face and has been playing with his trains all weekend. I can't complain-they are much quieter than his motors!

Bragging Rights

Anyone know why I uploaded a picture and it turned out blank?...Or why when Karen went to comment the whole post disappeared? Strange...

Wesley and I just got back from our debut in evangelistic singing. Ha ha...just kidding. Actually our pastor asked us to sing at Shelbyville for the local IHC. That wasn't nerve-wracking or anything. Most everyone who knows me well, knows I DON'T LIKE TO BE UP FRONT. Well, we made it through with my knees knocking, my hands shaking, my heart pounding, my plunkerin' on the piano, Bro Sankey moving the microphone in front of me while I was singing, and not tripping down the steps. This, however, is definitely not what I'm bragging about. I'm very thankful the Lord helped.

I wasn't sure if I should post this or not because I don't want anyone to think I have a big head about myself, but I just thought it was really cool!! I sent in 2 of my cards to the Hobby Lobby Scrapbooking magazine and they printed them in the new issue. Mind you they are not works of art!!!!, but it was kinda neat seeing my name next to something I made in print. The magazines are sold in their stores for a whopping $1.99...that is how famous I am. Ha Ha :)

A new version of the Bible...

My class is learning Hebrews 12:1-2 for their Scripture memorization this month. While we were reciting it together this morning, I asked for a volunteer to quote it. One eager student shot up their hand and began...

I beseech ye therefore brethren, by the REMOVING of your mind...

Could this be the Biblical version of the now common phrase, "I'm losing my mind!?!?!?" :)

Something Productive Actually Accomplished

Since I actually can say I belong to the S.P.A.A. (see title) organization tonight (I'm the president & founder BTW) I decided to post it. I am the type of person that to get something truly organized, I must tear everything up, get everything out, make a disaster, and then go from there.

Notice the tornado-hurricane-monsoon-disaster area know as MY SCRAPBOOK ROOM

Our church provides us with our housing (which we are very thankful) and living in a four bedroom house with just the two of us, I get to claim one of the rooms as my scrapbook room. Eat your heart out fellow scrappers... :) :)

I think I may have it organized (for now) the way I like it. This is subject to change as I am a woman and one of my prerogatives is to change my mind. :)

I also got the grocery shopping done, made a couple of cards while sitting here waiting on my ancient "modern technology," & got my uniforms washed for Monday. Wesley also got the back room (catch-all) cleaned up. Not a bad start to the weekend I'd say.
