Decorating For Easter

I thought after freezing at my sons track meet all morning, I would decorate for Easter in my nice warm house this afternoon, it was sooooooo cold I did not want to go back out the rest of the day....I do not have a lot of decorations for Easter, I only put up a few items here and there, I get most from garage sales, but I thought I share what I do have. I picked up a few new things though at Kohls, and I like decoratin outside and my lil tree I decorate. I try to do the best with what I have and can afford. I will not spend tons of money on my home to make it look like it came out of a Pottery Barn, Home and Garden, etc.. magazine. I like what I have and use it the best I know how. I found that through blogging I find other fellow bloggers that share inexpensive ways to decorate. You can make your own thats what I did.. I made my wreath for under 5 bucks, and some styrofoam bunnies really cheap, and had fun making them. Its not all the fancy items in your home its the family that makes the home.:) Thanks for taking the time to stop by and would love to have you follow me, and send a friend too......

Joli my daughter's surgery at Children's Hospital....

My lil girl is home and is asleep as I type, It was a rough day for her yesterday but she is a real trooper.My daughter was having immune problems, and chronic infections, fever, headaches, well,she had blockage and the blockage was causing bacteria and would make her sick, she was on antibiotics all the time not getting better, or would get better and come back again.She was excited to get the surgery because she said I will feel better, that is what she told our pastor and others when they asked or told her not to be afraid. I am glad that she has so much Faith in Our Lord, she is such a good girl. I love her so much. The surgery took a lot longer than they thought but she was strong. She cried and I wiped tears for an hour in recovery, and I wish as a mom I could take her pain away. I am thankful for the prayers from my facebook friends and all my friends in blog world that may have prayed. She has slept a lot today, and really has not ate, but she is home, and happpy to be in her bed,with her dog Winnie near by :) and loves all the hugs I keep giving her:)Tomorrow I would like to share the rabbits I made over the weekend from styrofoam. They turned out really cute. Please come back and visit, and send a friend. I so need some followers.

My daughter a lil loopy in picture, and barely a smile but I think I see a partial one, and the other picture is my daughter with me

Off to Childrens Hospital, Daughter is having surgery.

I just want to let my blogging friends and anyone else know, that prayers are needed for us this afternoon, my daughter, is having surgery at Children's Hospital later today. We have seen alot of that place:( She will be having surgery to remove some blockage, this should help with the infections. She said to our pastor who stopped to visit her last night when she asked Joli are you afraid? And she said "No", I am excited because I know it is going to make me feel better. I was happy to hear her be so positive. I being the adult and mom, need to put my worries aside and think just like this 12 year old girl. Our family is strong in our Faith, we know God will be watching over her today......

My Beautiful Daughter Joli

My Easter Wreath!!!

Hey thanks for stopping by, I am so glad you did. My daughter and I have been working and finished a Easter wreath we made. We are going to begin a design of some rabbits that are so cute, but I have to finish getting the supplies.It was perfect to make with my daughter, it is very easy:) I love spending time with her, and she likes making things with me. Time sure does fly by and I want to have and spend as much time as possiable with her. Here is our wreath.........Take and measure 2 pieces of sturdy cardboard, we did our wreath at 14 inches x 9 inches center circle,and cut out,glued both pieces together- to make sturdy:) and then began adding eggs all the way around cardboard, we then did another layer on inside with them facing outward (visiable in picture) we glued all eggs in place using glue gun, and then we took 8 eggs and placed on top 2 eggs apart on top layer, we then added grass we got grass that matched our bow. Placed all the grass in the spaces using the tops of pencils to push the grass down into the areas, it really wedges down in there Perfectly. Make sure to leave room for your bow, and we trimmed the grass, and added our bow, and ta-da it was done. Very Cheap to make, and you could use any eggs that catch your eye they have so many design now. Well I hope you like and come back anytime:)

Meeting Kirk Cameron!!!

Over this past weekend my husband and I had the privilage to go to Kirk Cameron "Love Worth Fighting For" sold out marriage confernce. It was so much fun, we got the reserve package, so we got the 30 minute meet and greet session with a handful of other people, front 2 rows of seating, and first in the autograph line, which with it being sold out the line was way way long, but we got to cut to the front:) I was so excited to see him in person, I remember him from one of my favorite shows as a kid "Growing Pains". He is now a Christain Man who follows and preaches of his Faith. You would just love the marriage conference. He answers any questions, interacts, and one on one with people, He really is a class act, and he seems just so down to earth. The conference was an amazing adventure and so much fun, it was over 3 and half hours long, and it felt so short to my husband and I. We could have listen to him for many more hours he captavates you by all he says and preaches, it is like he draws you in and feels like he is directly talking to you and only you. I hope if you get a chance you will look up the Feed Your Faith site, and check out his confernce, if its not sold out in an area near you. I have some pictures to share, videos too but I don't think I can load the videos. Thanks for stopping by and remember....show me that smile again....ok chessy I know the first line of the "Growing Pains" theme song, but hey I have a lasting memory:) Please pass the word about my blog, I really would love to have you whos reading and any friends you send my way to follow my blog....:)
