As I'm typing this, my 11 year old shih tzu, Selah is breathing rapidly. She is sound asleep so more than likely, she is just having a dream. I wake her up and pet her and her breathing slows down. I stop and her breathing starts to rapidly increase. I realize that she is mimicking me. The last few months, I have been forgetting to breathe...to come up for air. I admit that life has been a challenge for me but I'm still here, somewhere, hiding beneath the busyness and stress. I love being who God has called me to be...a wife, a mommy, a stepmom, a pastor's wife but there are challenges that have left me wondering how I'm going to survive the storms. Being a wife has come easily. J is such an easy man to love. He looks at me, knowing that what he sees in me is a treasure. He protects me, loves me, soothes me and gives me strength. Being a mom has been pure excitement. My girls always know that seeing them and having them close by makes me smile non-stop. ...

I love keepsakes and sentimental things too.
Let's see, today, hmmmm...I tried a new dish at an Italian restaurant. And I'm out of town, but still blogging on my stepfather's new laptop-a slight adjustment from using my desktop at home.
When I get home, I may come back for another visit to play around with your video software. :)
You have such unique ideas and I love those dolls your sister made. So adorable and what a wonderful keepsake.
I haven't been very creative lately but I have done handmade gifts in the past before I had my daughter. I can remember giving a girlfriend a mason jar full of all the ingredients and recipe for cookies (I think), I remember purchasing a torn up 1950's linen tablecloth (for 10 cents) with the most gorgeous pattern on it, I cut it up and sewed it into dish towels. My mom still uses them.
Gee, maybe I should do a video too!
Loved watching you! Hope you do more for us!
This was a fun post that let us put not only a picture but a voice with your blog.
Here's wishing your adorable self a great day with many blessings!!!
I'll be back....for a longer visit.
I was creative Saturday--we painted and completely re-decorated my son's room. It turned out great and he's really happy. Amazing what a coat of paint does for a room.
btw... I love that family frame behind you!
I tried to be creative on Saturday. I was looking for yarn to knit a sweater for my sister for Christmas. I could not find what I needed, which was frustrating, but I will look some more this week.
I'm all about creating gifts and finding something special for someone that has a sentimental value. Too much is spent on How Much something costs vs. what does the gift mean. Gifts are meant to have a meaning, especially at Christmas. Love the hand
prints of your girls...I wish I had thought to do that when my boys were little.
I made beef stroganoff on Saturday using a new recipe. It was nice but it was different...I'm not sure I'd make it that way again, but it was my husband's request for his birthday dinner.
