Make it Yourself . . . A Neck Gaiter

We had a ladies gathering at our church.  Our pastor’s wife passed out a sheet and showed us how she had made her own neck gaiter.  I had never heard of a neck gaiter, but she is from Minnesota.  Anyway, she got the instructions from here.
When my husband saw it he definitely wanted me to [...]

Snow Day

We had 6-8 inches of snow recently.  Here is a picture of our van:

My son “helped” my husband by shoveling some snow.  He actually kept throwing the snow back onto the spots where my husband had just cleared off, but he had fun anyway.

After shoveling all that snow, my poor little guy was exhausted so [...]

Tag Blanket Tutorial

I will admit that I am not the authority on tag blankets.  I have made several so I thought I would share with you how I make them.  My friend Kelly gets full credit in showing me how to do this.  It is a pretty easy sewing project and it is a nice little gift [...]

Thankfulness

I sometimes realize how incredibly fortunate that I am.  I am so fortunate to have been born in America.  I am incredibly blessed to have had a Christian family that introduced me to my Lord  and Savior Jesus Christ.  I am thankful to the Lord for bringing my husband and I together.  I am incredibly [...]

Pledge

My husband insisted that I blog about this.  He left for a doctor’s appointment today and while he was gone I was trying to find something to clean the wood floors with.  I decided to try Pledge.  So honestly, I got down on my hands and knees and sprayed pledge all over my living room [...]

What can I say?

I imagine President Bush is thinking, “Just don’t mess with Texas.”

Red and yellow, black and white they are precious in His sight . . .

This is the Benediction as printed on the Drudge Report:
