My crazy life....

It seems like I can't get my head together any more to accomplish anything. I hate when I miss a day blogging and I am going to try to do better. I have some exciting things to share today. 

First is this sweet lady from West Virginia name Peggy. She and her husband come to Tennessee several times a year. They attend our church when they are in town. She know of my love for Pyrex and every once in awhile she she surprises me with a bowl she has picked up an estate or yard sale. They were down recently and she surprised me with this awesome set of the (that's the set on the right). I just love it! It was really neat because the set had two out of three lids with it. And I happened to have a spare lid which went with those size bowls. Aren't they beautiful. 

As you know I sell Thirty-One. One of the other consultants posted this on her page. 

These little bags are part of new Christmas Collection. So I posted it to see how many I could sell in 24 hours. I was already taking up and order and I was short of my goal. I sold 18 sets in the first 58 minutes. Fourteen hours later I had sold a total of 27 sets and I met my goal. At $5 plus s/h and tax they were just $5.93 per set. I love that their Christmas line is already released and available through the end of January. After I got to 27 I realized I needed a couple myself. If you look closely you will see the little cardinal on one of the trees. When I noticed that, I realized I had to get a set for Miss Debbie at www.Jeremiah-2911.com. I hope she likes it.

I am planning on running to a couple of yard sales in the morning. Sort of a last hurrah for bargains before it gets to cold to have them. I have a friend who is having one and I know I will go to it for sure. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Hobby Lobby Heaven

Our new Hobby Lobby opened this past weekend. Just 10 minutes from my house. I just come off my road, turn right go a few feet, turn left and it is a straight shot all the way down the highway to Hobby Lobby. It's fantastic. But then again it may not be such a great thing to have it so close to me with my love of crafting. I am definitely going to need to do a budget. I also love their home decor section and with so much off at 40% with the grand opening, I may need to go again this weekend. Here are some pics of my favorite things.

Good start to the week....

Happy Monday morning. Let's start the week off with some laughter. This is me every. single. morning. I get up in my PJ's and do things around the house, write my blog, everything to start my day going. Then I am geared up and ready for my day....till I realize I have to actually get dressed if I plan on going to work. 

I do not hunt. I could never be quiet enough to get anything. So this would be me.

This one says it all. 

This one is very funny.

And I am sure we all know someone that we think this about sometimes.

Have an awesome week!

Happy birthday to my precious grandson

Today our youngest grandson, Colby James, will celebrate his 5th birthday. I can't believe he is turning 5 already. 

He was so tiny. And had a full head of hair. This is one of my favorite pictures of him and Papaw.

He smiled all the time and still does.

His grin can light up a room. He is always going full speed ahead and always finding something that makes him smile. He is a huge sports nut and he loves the Tennessee Vols. He was smiling in this picture because he was cracking up that he was riding with a Gator. Everything is about sports with this child.

You never know what he is going to do next. I was loading my car one day to go shopping and I always pack some empty Thirty-One totes to bring my groceries back in. This day, I unlocked the car and turned around to load my bags and it wasn't empty any more. 

This is a perfect example of a typical Colby smile. It makes you wonder what he has been up to or what he contemplating getting into. 

His love of sports is unreal. If there is a ball game, he is wanting to be right in the thick of it all. He wasn't very old here when he came to his cousin's game. And you can see that even at that little he was ready for the game. 

He spent a lot of time playing with some of the other kids that were a lot bigger than him.

This past spring he had his first dream come true. He got to play real ball with a real team. He absolutely loved his tee ball team. They had an undefeated season. He played his heart out at every single game. Even at this young age, it is easy to see he will be sports kid for life. He loved it and he was awesome. He plays very, very good.

He takes it very seriously and is not one to just sit down in the door. He pays attention as if he is a major league world series. It's a hoot to watch. 

Happy 5th birthday Colby James. Mamaw and Papaw love you.

Wacky Wednesday Hump Day

Wacky - funny or amusing in a slightly odd or peculiar way.

And my favorite...

For such a time as this....

Esther 4:14 is one of my favorite bible verses. I did a Beth Moore bible study several years ago on Esther. In this verse, Mordecai is urging Esther to intercede on behalf of her people in order to save them. The last part of that verse "For such a time of this?" has stuck with me. Through hard times and good times, just out of the blue when I am thinking about my blessing or stressing over my woes, that verse will pop into my head. I believe it is God's way of telling me that I am where I am at that moment in my life because there is where He wants me to be. I may not know the reason and where I am at that time may make no sense to me whatsoever, but in God's eyes He has brought me there "for such a time as this." It is so much easier to accept your current situation in life once you accept that it is all a part of God's master plan. 

Last night on Facebook, I saw the following post. As you read through it and you see the things that disrupted people's lives the morning of September 11, 2001. In some cases you can just imagine their frustration at being late or having to make an unscheduled stop. Whatever the reason, they were not where they normally would be  and on that fateful day, their life was spared. As I read the following, all I could think of was that each of these people were brought where they were for such a time a this. 

So when you find yourself somewhere you really don't want to be in your life, just remember that God brought you there...for such a time of this.
