Time Be A Tickin

So here it is just shy of 2 weeks before the big Rhea Lana sale here in Searcy.  Boy am I excited AND nervous!!!!  Last night I laid all my current inventory out on the kitchen table to gauge what I had to take with me for the booth.  I was pleasantly surprised to see I had duplicates of most color flowers and bows, but I would love to have 4, maybe 5 of each one day!  But, I can't complain.  I sure have come a looooooong way since that first sale back in 2009!  Today we ventured to Hobby Lobby for me to get some last minute tulle so I can whip out a dozen or so more tutu poofies in a few more colors.  I guess they're my favorite item to make and sell.  They're unique and so whimsical!  I even managed to grab a sweet little roll of cute teal fabric with birds on major clearance to hopefully make an American Girl Doll dress and tote!  Trust me...finding a gem of a fabric deal makes even the most exciting day shopping even more exciting!  Finally, I got some great chocolate minky dot fabric HALF PRICE!  Now to find something to make with it ;) 

It was a great day in Little Rock with my family.  We spent a few hours at the RV show, make the quick last minute Hobby Lobby trip, grabbed a bite at TGI Fridays, and checked out a few sweet pups on the North Little Rock Animal Shelter mobile unit before calling it a night and heading back to Searcy.  Now to get off here and catch Star Trek with my family as we welcome this great February weekend!  Here's to following your dreams and hoping for the best!

Brand Spankin New Chapter in My Life

Where do I even start?  It's been two years since my last entry and wow, so much has changed in my life.  I guess I'll just start where my ADHD mind will take me and the first thing that comes to mind is this...I joined our local 10 Fitness gym not too long after my last entry.  I made new friends there, friends who I'd gone to church with for years, but new friendships with them.  After being at the gym a few times together my friend, Mandy, became my first ever gym partner.  Boy, we kicked it good.  We split the use of a personal trainer for about six months and then took on the training ourselves.  It was awesome to say the least!  But to explain that, I'll have to take you back to a much earlier time in my life...a time that was dark and quite frankly scary.  You can stop reading now if you want, or if you choose to go further, I want to warn you...I'm going to reveal some dark secrets from my past, secrets that I don't take lightly, but...

Waiting...Learning...Loving

I can't express how blessed I feel to be able to have my days free of medical transcription, y'all.  Every morning when I return from school drop off I have time to sit down and actually read my bible...not just a chapter, two if I'm lucky, but actually read and study .  There's even a new passion to do my Sunday School "homework" whereas before I just plain ole didn't do it.  I'm in Romans right now and it's almost like I'm reading it for the first time even though I've read it hundreds of times over the years.  I'm working on my third entire consecutive read-through of the bible.  When I finish reading it all the way through I just start over and do it again.  I want to keep God's word fresh in my mind and forever in my heart.  There may come a day, sadly, when in America it's illegal to keep a bible or perhaps all bibles will be destroyed.  I want to have as many verses and scriptures stored safely in my heart where no one ...

Seasons Change

It's been 10 months since my last entry and I have to wonder why...why has it been so long?  Maybe it's because life just gets so busy that I really can't find the time to sit down and type for pure release.  Yes, my regular job is a typing job, one that I've been doing for 20 years come this May (except I took a year off to sew my oats and work at Mother's Day Out and help my awesome husband with his home inspection business), but all in all, I've been typing over half my life now!  It's a job, so there are days when I literally hate to sit down at this computer and put my Beats on.  And, depending on what doctor comes up first thing in my morning, I'm either ready to snap someone's neck or I can actually squeeze out a little smile on my face because it's not a fast talker, foreign talker, food eater while he/she dictates, one who won't correct their obvious mistakes while talking...I can go on and on here.  But, the point was to emphasize h...
