Look at what I made!


So last weekend I forgot to bring us church clothes when we came out to Lilburn. We really don't have a lot of money, but I thought we will just go to Wal-Mart and get me a skirt and James some stuff. WRONG!!! The cashier lady was way rude. I am glad she was. I still had my $30 and you know what? I have been ready this awesome blog Sutton Grace. She saved my life and a trip to Athens. You see she makes clothes out of clothes she already has.

So I went hunting in my in-laws house. I found an old dress shirt of Greg's and did some alterations and made James a very nice dress shirt! For you guessed it, FREEEEE!!!!!! My awesomeness did not stop there. I needed a skirt so I found a pair of old dress pants that Adam had. I cut the leg seam and sewed the legs together and made me a nice skirt. I am awesome and so blessed. Heavenly Father knew I did not have the money to buy us clothes so he helped me make something awesome and functional when I really had nothing to work with. It was so cool.


Here I go tooting my horn again.
I really do love my craft blogs. I just made an awesome Christmas decoration. I took a piece of scrapbook paper, a cup, and some tissue paper. You know what I made? Some awesome expensive looking home decor. Expensive meaning it would have cost me anywhere from
$5-$10 to buy at Target.

I just love being creative and having other people tell me what I can do with my creativity.

happy Early James Birthday!





Happy early Birthday to my little boy. I can't believe he is so big. Where did the time go? I love my little boy and he will always be my little boy. He has grown so much!!!!

He loves Thomas the Train, not really the show, but the train. He loves to play with the train set at Barnes and Noble and the Education toy store at the mall. He also enjoys watching TV, playing sports, especially soccer, and eating popcorn, pizza, and cheese. Sounds like someone I know.....
