Snow Princess

Calling all girls ages 5 to 13!  I am directing this pageant for a fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House of Nashville.   After our recent stays with them, they have my heart.  I was not able to fully comprehend  Theo's condition until we were able to stay at the house. I had a place to recover and put my feet up after my c-section and it was place to go when Matt and I needed a mental break.
 It is truly a blessing to families with children in the hospital.  And I want to give back.
They operate on a donation basis and in this economy they need our help!

Thanks in advance!

Phil. 4:13

Theo's full TOF repair was October 8th; we are home and doing great. He should be released from the surgeon next week then we will have regular follow ups with the cardiologist.

The past seven months have been an emotional whirlwind. I have found strength and faith in myself I didn't know I had. At times Matt and I sat in the hospital room silent, but knowing what each were thinking. Worrying and praying for Theo's body to heal itself. We did find humor, one of the janitors told us she dropped her baby on his head a lot, but he had a "hard head". I wanted to ask how he is or what he's doing today. And there's the large lady at Vandy Cafe who had a beautiful weave with some pink streaks and lovely long matching fingernails, who was stocking the cooler. I guess it was hard work because she turned and sighed to me "OH, little baby Jesus whewwww!" All I could do was laugh.
Those mental breaks were much needed and it helped us realize that God was going to take care of Theo.

I wanted to share one of the verses that helped me stay at peace.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.




I put this on a black tee and used multi colored pink stones. I can also do these on tote bags or anything you like!
I'd love to hear what your favorite verse is or one that has helped you through a difficult time?

Grandma's

Everyone needs and loves their "GeGe".

I hope she is enjoying this!
Thanks Tenara!

trying to be green...

We go through lots of formula cans around my house, and every time I throw one away I think... There has to be something to use that can for? So, tonight it came to me... ta da!


I used scrapbook paper from Stampin Up! to cover the cans then cut 3-15/16 circles to line the inside bottom. I had to piece one spot on the outside of the can because my paper was not wide enough. Used my cute butterfly punch to make some finishing touches and I love it... Instant storage!
I hope to make enough of these to achieve a honeycomb pattern.
You could glue them together in a pyramid form and sit it on your desk, use them as gift containers, or pencil holders... possibilities are endless!

A very inexpensive way to decorate and you can feel like you're green!
