March Madness 2012

WOW! Where did this month go? I can't believe it is all but over. I loved spending a week with my daughter while she was on Spring Break. That was probably the highlight of the month for me, although there is still a greatly anticipated basketball game between University of Louisville and University of Kentucky. I would really like to watch the game with my brother who graduated from UK the same year I graduated from UL. That might even surpass Spring Break...if the Cardinals won. :)

During Spring Break I attended the midnight premier of the Hunger Games movie with my family and some friends. Here's a pic of my kids with one of their friends. They dressed up as characters from the book.

My daughter and her roommate used the kitchen as a bakery one day of Spring Break and made 130+ cookies to give out on campus to solicit votes for the Student Government election that was held yesterday. My dd is now the vice president! Here's a pic of the packages they handed out...of course we had to do some stamping on them :)

On Tuesday this week I got to spend the morning with a little angel. Here's a pic of sweet baby Olivia that came to visit me. I was so happy to step in as substitute babysitter!

Today I caught you up on some family news, tomorrow I will catch you up on some stampin projects I have been doing this month! Please post a comment so I know that you stopped by to visit! :)

A Blessing A Day {March 8}

Well, today was a very rainy day and I was gone for most of it. I went to lunch with one of my friends from Camp Hope after our Bible Study. It was her reward for completing all of her homework last week. We had a great time and I really enjoyed visiting with her and getting to know her better. This Beth Moore study we are working on is pretty tough and I am so proud of these ladies for persevering. I intended to take a picture of us at lunch so I could post it on here, but I forgot. I did get to hear her quote most of the first chapter of James from memory :). God is doing amazing things through this study.

Although I was gone most of today, I did have a chance to play in my craft room yesterday. Here are some of the fun things I made...

This first item is a little 3X3 card that I made to deliver with Stampin' Up toys that some friends ordered :)

These next 2 projects are punch art items that I was playing with. I am so pleased with how cute they turned out. I think the little pirate is my favorite..

Hope you are blessed beyond measure today!

A Blessing A Day {Marching Forward}

I feel like an apology is in order. I really dropped the ball last month on my Blessing a Day challenge. In order to right this wrong, I am continuing forward with the challenge. I also have changed the settings on my blog so that you will be able to post a comment even if you don't have a blogger account. Hoping my friends who follow me will help hold me accountable for this challenge now.

Okay, so for my post today I am going to share with you a project from this weekend. A friend from church got married Saturday and asked me to help out with a decoration for the table with the guest book on it. Here's what I came up with...

I had so much fun making this for my sweet friend. May the Lord bless her and her new hubby with all the happiness in their marriage that Pat and I have experienced in ours---that would truly be a blessing.
