The shell necklace

During the first week of June I was the luck winner of a sorta shell necklace from Amy over at nine-ninety-onehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif she is a great blogger that keeps up almost daily (much better than me). I love to enter easy contest. If you are giving something away...give it away don't make me register at many different sites, add them to my facebook friends, or tweet about it, I don't enter those ones. Amy was offering this necklace set to her readers so I thought yay it is so pretty I will try and...I won!



Perfect for beach attire.



I wish I lived at the beach! Anyone giving away a beach house?

And good for all around.



Thank you Amy!!!! It was so nice of you. It made my day and is so perfectly fun for summer.

Crafty Mama

I can't believe it but I won a blog land contest. Yes I did and it is awesome. Right before the New years Living My Life On Purpose was having a HUGE giveaway. She was celebrating like Oprah. There were many fabulous gifts one of which I was the lucky winner. It was a book called Crafty Mama.



My husband laughed because knows I am not a crafter. To him it seems I can craft about as well as I garden. But he is wrong. I just don't craft that often. I hate the mess crafts bring. But I have made clothes, Christmas sacks, costumes, scrapbook page, ect. I am not one for the "crafty" home and he knows that. All the darling treasures made by my kids end up in the same place. Sorry kids I love them and I love you but if I were to keep them everywhere it would be clutter.

Saying that my children were very excited to receive this book. Evan grabbed his latest craft a wooden ship and wanted to be in a picture showing it off.



They each looked through it and found stuff they wanted to make. I looked through it and the projects are so easy. We will make some and gift them to grandma. Maybe we will make some at bible school.

I am so thankful for the book as well as the brothers. We will have a great family time. Thank you Shannon for the book. And head over to her blog to wish her a happy birthday and check out her fun life with two little girls.



Because as soon as Smiley saw we were taking pictures he had to be in it too.

A Lovely Lady

I have a new friend and she is wonderful. She is one of those people that talented and beautiful from the inside out. We are quite a pair together. To make it even better she has a son that is a month older than mine and they just love to play together. Friends sure make your world enjoyable. I feel SO very blessed to have so many.

She loves apples. She has apple things throughout her home. There is a new contest going on at candle by night http://www.xanga.com/Jude1_22/608431804/i-won-now-it-is-your-turn-to-win.html?nextdate=last
