Amber's Giveaway

Amber is having a giveaway!!  I don't personally know Amber, but we have recently become connected through the hoop art swap hosted by Heather at Blessed Little Nest.  You can read about that here.

I have started reading Amber's blog to get to know her better so that I could design hoop art that she would love.  Amber is from Canada and she seems like a really cool chic!

Amber is going through a purge or a de-clutter rather since she is moving in 3 weeks.  She is giving away a lot of cool crafty stuff.  I would love to be able to win, but I would be happy if you won too so, that is why I am telling you about it...go enter the giveaway HERE.  If you win, maybe you will share with me!?!  OK - you don't have to!

While you are checking out her blog - make sure to say a prayer for her friend, Mark who is having some serious health issues...prayer is a very powerful thing!

Hope you have a great weekend!!

March 17

I haven't blogged for an entire week!

Last Friday I had my book club.  It is always at my house - which I don't mind at all - all of the other ladies are married - some with kids and some not.  My house is sort of like their oasis away - I think.  They always remark about how quiet it is and they are never really ready to go home.  I don't mind that either.  Our discussions are always good and it is a good time of reconnection.

I don't really remember the weekend - I know I worked because I always do that, but beyond that I don't know that I really did anything.  I do know I took my niece and nephew out to lunch with friends after church on Sunday.  Oh and I do remember trying to take a nap and it started thundering and hailing.  Then it snowed later that night!

I went to work for an entire hour on Monday.  I felt awful so, I came home and slept the entire day!  It is amazing what sleep can do!!  Monday night was the season finale of the Bachelor - I was happy with his choice, but I don't know if their relationship will survive.  I really shouldn't be survived - rarely do relationships made on reality TV make it!!

The weather has been warming up so, that means it is time for short hair again.  I chopped it off Tuesday - well, I didn't my hair dresser did!  I love it!!  I will have to post a picture soon!

I guess that brings us to Wednesday!  Our church youth group had a pork dinner fundraiser.  It was delicious!!  The kiddos had class and then I took them home.  Some friends were in town from Texas so, we had an impromptu card night.  It was fun - always a good time even though I did lose the game to Greg...ugh!  I really hate to lose - especially to him!

So tonight - it is time to relax!!  I plan to not do a whole lot besides sit in front of my TV or on my couch with a book or magazine.

Did you do anything exciting this week?

Fun Saturday Night

My Sunday School class had a game night Sunday night.  We had so much fun!!

My friend, Stef, started laughing and I started laughing at her and well - it just kept going and going and going after that - we just couldn't stop!!  I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!!  Everyone got a good laugh at me because I am a snorter when I laugh and I was trying to hold my nose so that I wouldn't start, but then I couldn't breathe and well, it was crazy!

We played several rounds of Catch Phrase....I on occasion forgot which team I was on and I ended up helping the other team out.  Oh and here is a good one for you .....the clue that was given was "chocolate"  I yelled out peanut butter!!  Makes sense, but was also completely random at the same time!  They go together so perfectly right!?!  

We also played a riddle game - can't remember the name of the game, but Stef and I were partners - we were the giggling pair!!  We kicked butt - it was awesome!!!

Hope you had a good weekend !!!

I'm DONE!!!

Okay, I am almost done!!  I have spent the last two evenings purging my house.  I am worn out, but my oh my how good it feels!!

I am too embarrassed to show you a picture of my GINORMOUS pile of stuff that I clean out of my cabinets, drawers, and closets!  I will just tell you that I am getting rid of 2 pieces of "furniture," several boxes and lots of bags of stuff!  It filled up the entire back of my SUV and part of the backseat.  I couldn't even get one of the pieces of "furniture" in so, it will have to wait until next week when I go to work.  I also threw out 3 large bags of trash!

It feels so good to open up organized drawers that don't get stuck on all of the stuff in it!  My house isn't quite all put back together - I still have a few things that I need to deal with.  I found 10 + cd's/DVDs that I found in random drawers and boxes and I have NO idea if there is anything even on them!  But, for tonight I am done - I am celebrating with a Sonic Diet Coke with cherry and vanilla!!  I think I deserve it!

You still have time to register for the giveaway - just click here and leave a comment on the post to enter!

I hope you have a relaxing weekend - that's what I plan on doing now that my house is purged!
