Here are some of our Pumpkin Patch pictures for this year. I sent out e-cards to all my friends. I made it using my Creative Memories Storybook creator.

Check out this giveaway. Amazing!

This is the absolute best giveaway! What a talented lady! You have got to see this! She is over at Grosgrain. I would love to win this for Em!

Amazing Grace!

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me, I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see!! Wow! I can't listen to, sing or even read the words without crying! Gods grace is Amazing! I just am in augh over his amazing grace! His grace is suffcient! I need to keep that as a reminder everday! 2Cor 12:9 But he said to me" My grace is suffiecient for you, for my pwoer is made perfect in weakness." I had a really bad day Saturday. I had my first CM open house, and nobody came. I was so disappointed, I was hurt. I was angry. I put all this time and effort and nobody came to support me. Sunday, I was still hurt. We went to church and when the pastor started talking about Gods grace, I knew. No matter how hurt I am God grace will help me to be the person, I need to be. No matter what is going on. Gods grace is suffcient.

Cell Phone vs. Bible

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?

So remember this...

You'll never have dropped calls and unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

But most important of all...you'll never have to ask Him 'Can you hear me now?'

Makes you stop and think, 'Where are my priorities?'

Cookie Cutter Bird Treats

We found this fun craft idea in a library book. Bailey saw it and really wanted to make them. What you need is... Bread, cookie cutters( we used fall ones) bird seed, ribbon and egg. First cut shapes out with the cookie cutters and brush each shape with egg then while still wet sprinkle with bird seed. Allow to dry. I put them on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven at 250 for until they were dry,but not not toasty. This was really fun! Unfortunately, we did not get to see the birds eat them this time, cause shortly after hanging them, it down poured. We still have more shapes to try again soon.

To Blog or Not to Blog, That is the Question.

Well, I have not been blogging for too long, but am wondering if it is worth while. I don't seem to have many people reading it so, I think I might just hang it up, for a while maybe. I am not sure if I am really getting what I expected out of it. Anyway, I will be out of town this weekend! Yippee!, on a scrapbooking retreat! MOPS finally started today! I was so excited! I have a wonderful group of moms at my MOPS at Bethany Baptist in Puyallup. I also got my Creative Memories kit today and am so excited to get started with that! My husband has decided, yet again, that he wants to move at the end of our lease in November. So I will need lots of prayer in that department. I know God knows what is best for our family, but am unclear with what that is right now. Whelp that's it.

Ahhhh.... Slugs! Gross!

AHHHH, that was be screaming this morning, grossing out after unknowingly touching a slug. The slugs in western WA are huge and slimy and really gross! Bailey left his shoes out my the trampoline all night long. So he brought them in and we let them dry a little this morning. It was now time to get shoes on, and I put my hand in his shoe to see if it was dry and SLUG! Gross!! I ran to the sink washed my hands and had the heebie jeebies the whole time. I made the 2 older boys see if it was indeed a slug. They checked it out and yup, it was. Might I add... GROSS! I almost threw up when they were dumping the shoe out to get it. Funny thing is it was tiny! But it felt huge!! Well I guess it is better then when I live in Texas and had to check for scorpions in my shoes. At least a slug won't sting me, just gross me out!
