A favorite blog

A few months ago, I discovered Carolyn's blog ~ Scrapping Servant.

She is very talented when it comes to creating scrapbooks and altered products. Check out her instructions on making an altered lunch/recipe box. So cute!!

She is also hosting a Scrapbooking Party on May 19th. You can click the button I have on my sidebar for more information. (You might even win a great prize for attending.)

Just ENJOYING THE JOURNEY

One of my favorite bloggy friends ~ Lindsey ~ just wrote her 1,000th post.

One.Thousand.Posts!

Please stop by her blog ~ Enjoy the Journey ~ to leave her a comment.

And... if you have a chance...read through some of her posts.

She is encouraging, has a great sense of humor and

gives wonderful parenting and homeschooling advice.

Congratulations, Lindsey! Looking forward to 1,000 more.

Friday's Feast #139

I am feasting today! Won't you join me?

Appetizer ~ When you were a child, which crayon color was your favorite?
Green...and it still is! (I love coloring with Ainsley.)

Soup ~On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being highest), how likely would you be to change jobs if it required you to move?
Since I am a homemaker and SAHM, I'll skip this course.

Salad ~ Take all the numbers in your birthday and your phone number and add them up, one by one. What’s the total?
68

Main Course ~ Have you ever “re-gifted” anything? If so, what was it and who did you pass it on to?
I have never done this. If I have passed something along, I will always tell the person that it used to be mine.

Dessert ~ Name something you need from the store.
Dinner for tonight.

Happy Anniversary, Meghan and Ben!

Three years ago, Ainsley's aunt and uncle were married.

This dance is for you, Meghan and Ben. We love you!

It's the most wonderful time of the year

Ahhhhh....baseball has returned!

In honor of Opening Day... a baseball definition:

"Homeplate is the circle that looks like a boat."

(This is what Ainsley told her daddy as they were watching the Mets vs. Cardinals on television yesterday.)

Me?? Complain??

Ribbon Rock Star is "challenging" me to join a movement to help create a Complaint Free World.

I accept this challenge and will try to follow Phil. 2:14, which reads~ "Do everything without complaining and arguing."

Would you like to join me? Visit PamperingBeki to read more about it and to receive a cute purple "Complaint Free" bracelet.

I am tagging three of my favorite bloggers to do the same~ Southern Girl, SusiePie, and Exceedingly Mundane.

I'm dreaming of a new vacuum cleaner!
