I'm holding on to these words today.
"My plan for your life is unfolding before you. Sometimes the road you are traveling seems blocked, or it opens up so painfully slowly that you must hold yourself back. Then, when time is right, the way before you suddenly clears-thought no effort of your own. What you have longed for and worked for I present to you freely, as pure gift. You feel awed by the ease with which I operate in the world, and you glimpse My Power and My Glory.
Do not fear your weakness, for it is the state on which My Power and Glory perform most brilliantly. As you persevere along the path I have prepared for you, depending on My strength to sustain you, expect to see miracles- and you will. Miracles are not always visible to the naked eye, but those who live by faith can see them clearly. Living by faith, rather than sight, enables you to see My Glory."
From a devotional... from my friend Kerri.

Help is on it's way!
I made my first "business" purchase! God has been blessing my Etsy Shop and my hands are in knots from cutting out letters!!!! I decided today to take some of my shop $ and invest in this beauty!!!!
The Cricut Expression! I know, most of you probably already have this beast, but I just never thought it would be worth the $$, until now.
I can now have the Cricut cut all my letters for my shirts, onesies, etc.... It will save me SO much time and give my throbbing hands a rest!!! YIPPEE!!
I got a great deal on it at Amazon, so I can't wait till it gets here. Lets just hope it's as easy to use as they say!
I had to purchase the font cartridges seperately (of course).... So I got two. The "Makin' The Grade" one,
And the "Cuttin' Up" one. Both have cute letters and a few extras...so this should get me started!
YIPPEEE!

Easter Weekend 2011
I don't think any of us ever thought we would've spent Easter keeping a bedside visual over my Grandmother! Last week my 84 yr old precious Grandma (who we call Bobbie) had a pretty severe stroke. She was admitted to Baptist Hospital on Tuesday. By Friday she had pneumonia and was on a breathing machine in ICU. Things change so fast!
My Mom and sister (with her family) decided they needed to drive up from San Antonio to see Bobbie. They got here Friday evening and stayed until this morning.
Bobbie really responded to them being there. It was great to see Bobbie make some effort to open her eyes! Her pneumonia is being treated with antibiotics and they are doing the best they can. I just pray for her.
I'm exhausted. I know I should write a long story about what Jesus's resurrection means to me, but for now I'm going to just keep that in my heart and save it for a better time. Judge if you may. ;)
Grandpa (aka Doddie ) and me in the waiting room! Lots of time spent there this weekend.
Cousin love. Izzy was so excited to see her cousin Laynie!
The false teeth hut. I crack up every time I see this. Bobbie's teeth are safe in here while she's in ICU!
Me and Bobbie.
My sister, Angie, and Bobbie.

Favorite Things
Just thought I would toss in a random post!
My favorite things (a few anyway).
First... my Sanuk's. You rock. my. world. Thank you for being the most comfortable shoe I own!
My love for anything vintage or unique is very strong! I give credit to my hoarding Grandpa who has spent his life at auctions, sales, dumps, etc.... Something about vintage items that you can bring back to life with funky paint colors and awesome fabric really makes me SMILE! Probably my MOST favorite things of all!
Who needs Robeez when you have "Wildcubs" on Etsy?! SUPER cute and handmade! Lyla will have a few pair for sure!
LOVE this Etsy shop and all her cute prints!! The Wheat Field...I will be ordering from you for my nursery!
This diaper bag from Petunia Pickle Bottom makes me giddy! At $349, giddy is all it's going to make me! DANG PPB!
Color of the year (according to House of Turquoise)...LOVE IT!
Drool.... this vintage suitcase made into a foot stool or table... SO CUTE! (Design Sponge)
I have wanted this rug from Ballard Designs for a long time. One day...
I can't get enough of these Ball jar lights! I see them on a lot of design blogs. This pic is from Etsy.
This "barn light" is delicious! I want want for my laundry room. I saw a few on Etsy and a bunch on Ebay. Now if I can only find one at a thrift store for cheaper!
I'm still in love with my IKEA Ung Dril frame! I only have one, but look at what 4 can do! LOVE
Mine still needs a coat of spray paint...still deciding on the color!
LOVE fun fonts! Love even more when they are FREE! My favorite place to get them? kevinandamanda.com/fonts of course!!
