Mothers Day of a Lifetime

She won!!!!! Hip hip hooray!!!!

She picked up her basket today. It was really nice. And she ordered the mothers charm from the jewerly store. Fun times!

Still alive.....B.U.S.Y!!!!!!!!

A dear friend pointed out that this week was the first week I didn't update my blog with a scripture verse on Sunday. Even though she proceeded to accuse my lack of blogging to wanting to leave mom's contest post at the top (which I still know no details about where she stands in the contest), this is not so. I have been incredibly, wildly busy. I could fill your ears with all my projects, ideas, dvd making, workshop happenings, craft explorations, and etc. etc.....but I won't. Frankly, I hate when people do that....I mean, really....we are all busy. Get over it.

Just know I will be writing soon. I have somethings I'm itching to share...Until then, this one's for you Carly....

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

--Psalm 119:165

Vote for Mom

The Mothers Day of a Lifetime Contest is on. Click here to vote. Or you can go to Star1021fm.com and find it there under contests. Mom's letter is #5. Tell all your friends, family and co-workers. I'll be sending an email later tonight when I have more time.

I read through all the letters and they are all good. Sounds like all these women are deserving. Of course I want mom to win. Knowing her and her circumstances the last month makes me want her to win just alittle bit more than the others. However if she doesn't this was still fun.

I do have one complaint....it was suppose to be a 100 word essay. Some are way longer. I could have said so much more if I had had more opportunity!

If you don't know about mom, read her story here.

Any one up for Vegas?

I know as Christians we don't believe in luck. But I'm really starting to feel lucky! I'm on a roll with winning things.

It started with Family night. Remember the egg dyeing? Before we began there was a PTO meeting. At every PTO meeting they have a drawing for a teacher and parent winner. Guess who was the teacher winner...Yep, a $25 walmart gift card.

Next came the teacher bobcat buck drawing. I won it last Friday. I haven't claimed my prize yet but I hear it's usually a gift card to a restaurant.

Now for the winning I'm most excited about! Actually I haven't won yet, but am in the top 10 now. A few weeks ago I was listening to talk radio (100.3) and heard the contest "A Mother's Day of a Lifetime" announced. So I went online and wrote a 100 word paragraph about why my mom is great. During church tonight I received a voicemail that out of over 200 entries, They were choosing 10 and my was one of the top ten. Monday these 10 entries will be posted online for people to vote for the best. They will narrow these to 3 and read these on the radio. They will pick the winner from these. So come Monday I'll be calling on all my BFF's, relatives, friends, co-workers, church members, and strangers to help us vote. If you know my mom, and the circumstances she's faced in the last month you will know she's very deserving. Oh the prizes...a teeth whitening (a $700 value), a five stone mothers day pendent and chain, three oil changes, 3 hours of legal assistance, five bottles of wine (mom is so not a drinker), the dress of her choice, a facial, manicure, pedicure, and massage.

One thing that may be a small problem....if she wins they will call her on Friday to speak on the radio. After surgery, her voice is really altered and she can be hard to understand. She may need a translator.

So tune in Monday....
