Amazing Women!

By -

I spend a lot of time on my blog talking about ME! Yep, lil' ol' egocentric moi! So today I am going to do a shout out to some very special ladies... I hope you stop by their blogs and say hi!

The first one is an amazing lady name Susan. I heard about her and her story through my friend Beth. Sue is Beth's cousin, has gone through some difficult times with cancer. She recently had surgery... and it wasn't an easy one. She had to have cancer removed from her sinus cavity in her face. Please stop by and say hello to her here! She could use some "company" and happy wishes\prayers during her recovery! :)


The second lady is my blogging pal Michelle. I "met" her through Tuesday's with Dorie. Last year she sent me an AWESOME Christmas care package! Recently, she was deployed to Iraq to serve our country... only to find out... she was pregnant! Now she is back home, still serving in active military duty and living far away from her hubby who is serving in Iraq. Wow! She is amazing! Visit her here.


And of course I can't forgot about my most favorite blogger, Stephanie Nielson. She just went through more skin graft surgeries for her burns. I talk about her lots, but if you've never visited her blog you can check out Nie Nie here.


Spread some love around!

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like. Mine were a combination of scrapbook paper, decorative tape from Martha Stewart and glitter.  The longest part was cutting all the strips and gluing them on, but once they are done it&

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
