Holy crap, how did I get to be 49 years old? And where did these 6 children come from?? I have pretty clear memories of Kindergarten almost yesterday – I RULED at playing Post office and now I am a grandmother… what a crazy ride this has been!

I for all time emailed this blog post page to all my associates, since if like to read it then my contacts will
too.
Great article.
A new innovation in digital technology now makes same-day dental crowns possible.
Quaid even happily reported that he got an enthusiastic thumbs

and the Big Fun Marching Band. These have lead to many

In some instances, we find ourselves by a crisis in everyday life.
On a side could be a more difficult pursuit which will be a
whole lot more fulfilling, whereas a different one
may just be the path of least resistance, or perhaps another course.
What ever way you’ll take would certainly decide many
things with regards to your outcomes in life. Pediatric massage therapy
certainly is the way that I end up spending a lot of my days,
and it’s really actually fulfilling. On the other hand, I may every bit as smoothly have elected another
thing, as an example, life as being a secretary or possibly as a maritime explorer.
We cannot appreciate how shifting even one single little element may possibly correct every last
portion of our experience. These would be some considerations to speculate.
Happy Birthday!!! I hope it is filled with joy and love.
I tried an old fashioned pressure cooker years ago. I have not tried one of the newer styles but would love to after seeing the awesome food you have been cooking in it.
I spent Saturday coaching two best friends through some beginning piecing of quilt tops..and guess what one brought for dessert? Single serving cheesecakes, made in an electric pressure cooker! I’m so excited to try some out myself.
Friday and Sunday had classes on Handi Quilter’s new ProStitcher. Saturday I had a Guild class on Piping Binding. Now I need to cut fabric for my Guild Retreat, leaving Thursday morning returning home on Sunday.
I love the notebooks! This weekend has been all about “the catch-up” – including catching up on some sewing projects that I put on the back burner. Need to remember to take some “me time” for projects that I want to do. I hope that you get to spend some time for you on your birthday weekend!!
My weekend? Cleaned the house, installed under cabinet lighting in the kitchen, and installed pull out drawers in the bathroom sink cabinets. Also did lots of reading for class – MBA should be finished this May – YAY! Loving that Yazzi bag.
Looks like fun!!
I really like the vintage notebooks
looks like a fun bag to fill with…. thread. needles. clips.
Looks like a hexi bag to me. Fun prizes. Thanks Maddie!
We went to the Nashville Symphony to see Video Games Live. It was fantastic!
Love it ALL???????????????
so vintage eh? Now I feel really old! or really Vintage!
I marched today. It was a most amazing experience I shall not forget.
Peace be with you.
Happy Birthday. Today was my husbands birthday. He is such a wonderful
support for me and totally encourages me.
How cute are those notebooks!
I took a much needed drive today, didn’t care that it was raining, just needed out of the house. When I got home, finished quilt top for my husband’s birthdayvalentinesanniversary. I think he’ll like it.
That little bag is adorable and o e always needs more thread
Oh my… What have I been doing this weekend? I spent all day in my office clearing out 2016 files. Whee!!! Tonight, I’m working on a small embroidery project that I designed for a dear friend.
All very fun things to go along with fun day of sewing my fitting bras. I am now a lace addict along with cottons.
I reorganized some of my kitchen staples into Oxo containers that I got for Christmas, even labelled them!
Those notebooks remind me all the clothes my mom sewed for me when I was a girl! So cute!
Spent today catching up with an old friend and shopping. Tomorrow I’m quilting with my peeps! Huzzah!
Spent the day with friends working on some quilt tops, hope do do more of that on Sunday, but will probably be doing chores around the house.
I’ve been taking care of some long overdue chores around the house. It’s been raining.
I started packing stuff I can do without for the next couple months… So much fun.
If it’s baby quilt size or smaller I do it myself. Anything larger I send to a good friend who has a long arm business.
Send anything bigger than a twin out
I would love to try this. I quilt my quilts on a regular machine.
would love to quilt larger pieces at home!
I need all the help I can get to learn fmq or any type on my domestic machine
In the past I have sent most of my quilts to a longarmer, but want to learn to quilt them myself. This class in a box sounds fantastic!
I have quilted all of mine. 11 total. Simple straight stitching but 2017 is the year I’m gonna expand that! I need all the help I can get, this would be great for my small library of quilting knowledge.
I have seen Paula and would love to have this as a reference for her techniques.
I would love to try this!
I am a longarm quilter but this prize would make a nice gift.
