Winner!

I just did the random number generator, and Sha is the winner! Sha has been a very faithful reader and commenter so that makes me happy:) I will be in touch to get your address. I hope you like it!

Carolyn and I went to the Bead Company store tonight, and I got a watch face. I am so excited. I have never had a watch that fit my arm well. They always slide up my wrist. So now I can make my own! We also went to Marshalls and I got the girls a Melissa and Doug floor puzzle for really cheap. Then we shared a piece of white chocolate raspberry cheesecake at Barnes and Noble. Oh heavens, it was good! It was a really fun night. I could totally relax because the girls were at home with Joel so I wasn't worried about them like I am when they are with someone else.

My sister and her family are coming in tomorrow so that should be a lot of fun. Hopefully, my other sister is coming over too, but I haven't heard if she is. I need to buy some fabric for the swap I am in and hopefully we can go tomorrow. I hope everyone has a great Saturday!

Giveaway reminder

Joel's grandmother called today and talked to me for over an hour! I didn't mind, we had a nice conversation, but it did keep from getting any sewing or anything else done. We were also very disappointed today to be staying inside since it didn't get out of the 30s after being over 60 yesterday. Please come Spring. We need you or we are going to go crazy! Not too much excitement this week. I think we needed it after last week though..

Giveaway ends tonight at midnight. Winner announced tomorrow.

Have a great evening!

Water Heater Gone!

Several weeks ago, Joel and a friend replaced our water heater. Since then, the old one has been sitting in the basement. Joel had a guy from his work come over for supper and to help him carry it up the stairs. When they got down their, they acted shocked that it was full of water and very heavy! It took them 1.5 hours to get most of the water out. Silly men. They were entertaining trying to get the water out! I'm just thankful that no one was killed by a rolling water heater.

I didn't sew tonight so I don't really have a lot to show in that way. Remember, there is a giveaway going on until Thursday. Enter here.

Bible study was wonderful today! We are doing a Kay Arthur study on how to pray, and I am learning so much. This is a good topic for me since I am easily distracted when I am praying!

I am really excited about tomorrow because it is supposed to be over 60 degrees! I see some time at the playground in our future for tomorrow. I am also making Cream Cheese Potato Soup tomorrow. I am really excited about that. Sadly, there is no Lost tomorrow night. How are we going to make it?

I'm ready for bed! Over and out:)

Cookies and a Giveaway!

We had a fun day today. Our friends Jackie and Baby Cake (Kate) came over this morning and chatted with us, which was lots of fun! After nap, we walked to the park and played on the playground. There is a dog park at this park and Pilly loves it! She squealed and screamed and was hilarious! After supper, we made cookies. Butterscotch chip cookies.



We made them extra-big!



The girls couldn't wait for them to come out of the oven.

I also have two pictures of Pilly that I wanted to share. I know, that is probably not why you are reading this, but she is just so cute!



This is one of my favorite dresses. She looked so sweet.



This is one of her favorite poses. I love this age! She does so many funny things:)

I am super-excited to do my first giveaway. I am going to make it international this time. I think the package will be pretty light. I made an apron and a bracelet.



I love pink! The bracelet is big for my arm. I took four beads off already, and it still falls off my arm, but I have bird arms. Hopefully, it will be fine on the arms of a normal person:)



The apron is made out of a pant leg of Joel's. I really like this fabric.



Here is a close-up to see details. It is not cherries but some kind of berry.

Anyone can enter. You don't have to have a blog, just leave a comment with an email address so I can contact you if you win. I will let it go until Thursday and announce the winner Friday!

Have a great night! Shawna

P.S. I really should make myself an apron. I keep wiping my hands on my pants or the girls when I bake!

Sesame Street Musical Influences!

I think I may have a problem. Sesame Street is starting to influence the music I like. Last night when we were watching, they did a song with a guest. I didn't catch her name, but I was able to look up the song and find her name. She is Diana Krall, a jazz singer from Canada, and I really like her. I am looking at her cd's on amazon and checking them out of the library. I don't think she is someone that everybody would like. Her voice is kind of husky, but I like it. Add it to the music that I like that my friends have never heard of.

Today, Joel went to football and lunch with the men from Sunday School and then straight to the movies with his brother for a 3-hour movie. Thankfully, the girls and I went to a friends' house for the morning. The girls had so much fun with their girls! They were worn out by the time we came home. Pilly took a wonderful nap until Pnut went upstairs in an act of disobedience and woke her up!

I can't believe we have to switch the clocks tonight. It is enough to make me want to become Amish. Well, maybe not quite that bad, but pretty terrible.

I hope everyone has a great Sunday!
