This is my 650th post! Had a fun day today, Les & I ate lunch with Kathie, Janette Knight, Gina and the kids. We also rekeyed Kathie's house. I started a scarf with some gorgeous yarn I got at Hancock and will be done with it tomorrow.

I ended up selling 5 sets of my heating pad/covers, 1 taggie blanket and several earrings for a total of $155 sales so that's not too bad! I am going to do more shows in the next weeks hopefully with my sisters. I have warned people what heating pads I don't sell will be Christmas gifts, LOL!
Went with the kids to see Megamind and Red, at the Drive-in, had a ball, Charli sat with us until she got sleepy, she spend some time putting change in speaker cover, I told Les we would have punished our kids but thought it was funny with her! She stopped when I asked her too and tried to get it out but said her fingers were too fat, LOL! She also spilled M&Ms on floor but Les will just have to vaccuum! <3>

My MIL helped me at my booth today (she is sitting) she sold 2 scarves, I did better with 3 heating pad sets, 1 jewelry set and 5 pairs of earrings. Several didn't sell anything so I did pretty well. I pray we will have lots more luck tomorrow!
Charli wanted to come to my house but I stayed almost all day there, I told her I would see her tomorrow. She is so imaginative! When I kept her yesterday she said the boys from Big Time Rush, Carlos and James, she told them to sit beside us and she 'cooked' them a meal. She then said she wanted to marry James and when I did the 'Here comes the bride' music she started to prance around, she really makes me so happy! I think she likes them over Justin =0)

I will post my little Cheeseburger when I upload her but here is Ames in his Hot Dog outfit. They were very cute, Charli enjoyed the games at church then they went trick or treating in they neighborhood.
Today I had my treatment, now Les and I are about to go to Susu's apartment, she gave me a wonderful sewing machine that has a quilting and embroidery feature, I am so excited! I also got a knitting machine from her. I may have awhile before I play with that.

Had a nice time at the beach, couldn't do a lot of walking, though.It was humid and the air was too thick for me to breathe so I got so tired! I could not even walk up the beach.
Thursday we took Charli to the Pumpkin Patch at a local church and when I got back all I could do is lay on the couch.
Kept Ames Friday morning for the first time and Les took Charli with him. I have to admit I held him the Whole time!
Thank goodness by yesterday I felt more myself and worked on several taggie blankets and today I have made lots of earrings. Craft show is next Friday and Saturday and we are hoping to do a couple more.

We made over $1800. with our yard sale! We were very busy most of the time, the most expensive think we had was $35 for a PS2 and Guitar Hero Gina donated! Didn't have much furniture or big ticket items, either, sold a lot of coats and children's clothes. We are going to pack up and do it again we decided.
I leave Monday to go to beach for a couple of days. Just nice for Les and I to go, don't plan to do anything but walk the beach and eat shrimp!

Been very busy today! Charli spent the night last night and we were Supposed to go to Pumpkin Patch BUT it was raining this morning! It wasn't called for and I couldn't believe it! We took her to the McDonald's Playground and to he Dollar Tree and she got a light up sword to "kill monsters' a bat cat headband and vampire gum dispenser, we will go next Thursday to the Pumpkin Patch.
Then we went over to the church and helped price the stuff for the yard sale Friday and Saturday. It took several of us close to 4 hours but we had a fun time.

Cathy K's Naturally Male


Cathy Krenek has 3 beautiful kits in SBE's U Build It so I made a couple of pages playing with it. I love the picture of Les holding Ames. I haven't scrapped much lately since I am making my crafts for the November show but these were fun to do. I have got several calendars to do for Church. I am doing them as a fundraiser for church to help the building fund. Tomorrow I have to go price things for next week's yard sale. I have been very busy lately, LOL!

Ames first concert! Tonight we went to Alive After Five to hear The Fabulous Expressions. Charli wore her dancing skirt and shoes and Ames slept through the music, LOL!

Monday, October 11, 2010

I have been busy making crafts for the show coming up in November. It is still hot here, 86 was the temp today which tied the record according to the news. . Ames is doing good, gained 5 oz from Wednesday to Friday. He is a good quiet baby so far.

Monday, October 4, 2010

This is one of the few times he opened his eye(s)! While getting a bath... They were getting ready to go home as I was going for my treatment. Gina said he slept pretty well, so far he doesn't cry much. I pray that will be true since Charli can't stand to hear it.

Ames is here!



Ames made it into the world last night at 11:44 weighing 6.5 lb. Although Gina had been in a lot of pain before the actual pushing part lasted just a very few minutes. He is a perfect little fellow! Charli can't Stand to hear him cry! She spent the night with Les and I last night but she is staying with her Mommy tonight. My treatment is tomorrow!

It has FINALLY started cooling off! A week ago it was in the 90's and it is still higher than average and we are finally getting a little rain. The grass has been so dry!
Made 3 pieces for the craft fair today. Looked up ideas all day yesterday, I am making baby items like taggy blankets and bibs. What I don't sell can be given as gifts instead of stored I plan to do some Christmas ornaments, too.
Charli's outfit is from Nana 'Laine from church.
I do feel good this week... chemo is Monday.

Gina, Charli and I went to Capri's yesterday for her 24th birthday. That's where she loved to go as a child. Today they rode to Greenville with Les and I and I got fabric to start making things for a Christmas Craft show. Charli showed me how she helped her Mommy wash Ames' bottles, she loves these Pampered Chef gloves Jane gave Gina, LOL!

I am very thrilled to have this page featured on Chelle's Blog!

The kit is Street Smarts by Connie Prince and Chelle's Creations and I love it! Great for all those Sesame Street toys.

Here are a few pictures from Mom's 70th birthday, she really was happy!

Gina went to hospital last night but she is still not dilated enough even though her pains were 5 min apart. I went to get my blood work today and he gave me some cream for my foot. He also asked me about a lung transplant, I (getting on the list) I told him No. There is a lot more than just being on a list including months in an out of state hospital and not being around my grands. Quality over Quantity is my motto!

Have not uploaded pictures from Mom's party Sunday or even been on the computer a whole lot. I am reading a Liz Curtis book and looking forward to seeing Charli in the morning. Gina is on maternity leave after tomorrow, should be holding my grandson soon!

Charli dancing uptown Thursday when The Swinging Medallions played. Will post more pictures later. Had a good day, went to Emerald baptist to see Kathie get baptized tonight, she is in the puppet ministry and choir, I am very proud of her.

Nine years ago I was working at the Wal-Mart Pharmacy when I walked into the backroom and it was on the news about the Twin Towers. All the TVs switched to what was going on so the day was full of sorrow, people couldn't believe that it was happening. I will never forget 9-11-01!
Still feeling a little weak, went to Hancock to get a couple of things and got a country ham biscuit.

I have really felt sick today! Dr H changed the way I take my chemo and was a little sick last month but have been really yuck today. Can't even drink a whole Pepsi! Have laid down all day.
