Good Times

I thought that I would share a few good things that I am happy about right now.



1. Our Fall Book Fair is over!! We are all worn out! Our Media Specialist, Sherry (who is going through chemo and radiation for colon cancer) is doing great!! Her tumor was removed during the summer. She worked everyday of the Book Fair. She was super happy when we did a tentative count of the money..we sold about 17,000 dollars in books!! The school library will get a nice percentage of that for new books and media supplies!



2. I'm excitied that I have signed up for a "stay at home" quilt retreat. Susan at Blackberry Creek is hosting. It starts Oct. 12 thru the 14. I have a bit of a break from the library so I hope to spend some time sewing. You should check out her sweet blog and sign up!



3. Kristie is back!!! Kristie's blog Cowgirl Quilter, was one of the first blogs that I started reading. I fell in love with her beautiful scrappy quilts, her mountain life and her sweet attitude! She also helped me get my blog started. I wanted to start a blog to be able to show her my quilts! Kristie had a nasty fall awhile back (ouch!!) but she has started her blogging again! I am SO happy that she is on the mend!



This weekend I plan on putting my house back in order (kinda) so that I will be ready to lock myself in my sewing room this week! Have you seen big B's newest pattern set?? It's full of Snowmen and snow "stuff" I bought it and LOVE it!! I really want to make some plans for a little Snowman stitchery!
Have a great weekend!!

Me and Trisha

I thought that I would show ya'll the little gift my sweet husband got for me while I was recovering from my surgery. He knows that I am a huge Trisha Yearwood fan. She is a Georgia girl. I like her music. I think that she is beautiful and let's face it, she is not sick skinny!! She has an exercise regime but she loves to cook and enjoys good old southern food! I have always loved hearing about her relationship with her parents and sister. I bought her first cookbook "Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen" a couple of years ago. I love it..lots of good recipes, famliy stories and pictures! I use her recipes for cabbage and squash. When I found out that she had a new cookbook coming out, I knew that I would want to buy it. It came out the day after I got home from the hospital and Andy went and got it to surprise me. So sweet! The new book is "Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood" Like the first book it contains recipes from her Mom and Sister and this one has other recipes from family and friends. (and Garth Brooks) I havent cooked anything from it but I will! It is as lovely as the first book!

I will be at the library this week. Sherry has had to miss the past few weeks. She has had complications from the radiation. She says she is feeling better and hopes to work tomorrow! It will be good to see her sweet smiling face!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful week!

Still Here!

I'm still here and kicking! I did not mean to take a blog break. Again, I must say that my hat is off to working Moms (you know what I mean, outside the home) Working at the school is kicking my hiney! I am doing all I can to keep up with my housework, Cade and meals! I think that I did a little embroidery one night but other than that NO sewing at all!! Not a good balance for me!

The good news is that Sherry got her port in for her chemo and is feeling good! I am so happy to help her out! She is the sweetest, positive person! She plans on coming in to the library this week. Thank you so much for your prayers!

Also good news, my sweet daughter is home for Spring Break! With her mountain of laundry! Yikes! I am going to spend some time with her. Shopping and pedicures and lunch!! Just what I need. I love that girl!

I am planning to do some sewing this week. I hope to post soon with some pictures and I really need to catch up on my blog reading! I miss all of ya'll!

I am adding a picture of me and Kelsey at her graduation party from last year. I can't believe that it's been a year!! She wants to add that she does not like that picture, she didnt wear that shirt during the party and she has lost weight!!
