Oh my!  She is 17!

March 9, 2010

It doesn’t seem like 17 years and I’m not ready for her to be 17.  That’s just one year from 18 — and then 19.

She came into our life 17 years ago today — all fair haired and blue-eyed.  We had a dark haired, dark eyed princess and she was to be the blonde baby princess.  She’s blonde, but princess is not a title she has ever aspired to.  She’s the baby of the family who rarely allows us to baby her.

She’s independent and strong-willed.  (She must get that from her Dad…)

She has a great sense of humor and a sharp wit.  She’s smart and fun to be with.  She is a rebel and a peacekeeper all at the same time.  She believes in pushing the envelope and challenging ideas that she doesn’t believe are right or fair.

She’s talking about college and life beyond but I’m not sure I’m ready.   New situations don’t scare her, they intrigue her.  She is fascinated by life beyond these days – and that’s good.  But hard on her Mom.  She is ready to soar, but we still have her tethered to the ground . . . for just a while longer.

I remember this

And this ….

but these days she looks more like this

17!

I cherish every moment I have with her.  She is my FAVORITE blonde daughter.   Happy Birthday, Paige!



Prayer Shawls, Sweet Friends, and Great Purses!

March 1, 2010

When I found out the theme of the event was ‘what we put on’ and they were purses as table decorations… and not just any purses, but GORGEOUS amazing PURSES!

I was so blessed to be invited to speak to this great group of women at Lakewood Baptist Church….. they were sweet, wonderful and incredible.  I just adored meeting each of them.

Jackie, Lori, Me and Amy – what a sweet bunch… well, not me.  I’m not calling myself sweet that would be ….. well, that would be weird.

And then Jackie tells us her story about crocheting prayer shawls…

and we all cried… alot.

And then there were the purses… oh how they blessed me so.  This is the one that this sweet group blessed me with.  I LOVE it.

2010-02-21 22.36.34

And I loved my time with them.  And I’m in the market for another new purse so if you’re looking for a speaker and you have a cute purse …. I just may be your girl.



Girlfriend Getaway with a Zebra theme

February 23, 2010

I’m constantly amazed that the Lord allows me the blessing of hanging out with women and sharing my heart with them. 

This past weekend I was blown away by some zebra clad chicks from Prattville.   I hit the road Friday afternoon and landed down on Lake Martin with two large houses filled with women who were ready to laugh and have fun.  They were also eager to dive into God’s Word and dive we did – head first into the deep end. 

There are so many wonderful moments to share and so many new girlfriends to tell you about.  Let me just say that Michelle and Shannon are two AMAZING girls who know how to plan a retreat! They also love to accessorize and Michelle introduced me to Charming Charlie – what’s not to love about these two!

They had these super cute t-shirts made – I LOVE what they did to my website clipart – and check out the girl in the middle.  Yep, zebra.

It was an incredible weekend with incredible women and it was my honor to serve the Lord alongside them

Aren’t the adorable in their hot pink!!  So many precious faces.  My new friends. 

Sometimes you just meet women and your hearts connect.  My heart connected with these women. 

I plan on seeing them at Charming Charlie in the very near future.  You’ll find us in the zebra section.



52 New Things - FAIL

February 19, 2010

I DO have the BEST intentions, but the follow through is lacking.

My 52 new things in 2010 was modeled on some of my local Birmingham girls idea — I loved it and ran with it….

for about two weeks and then I dropped it like a cheating boyfriend.

I’m trying to make it back… but I’m struggling.

I did drink Starbucks in the Bahamas a few weeks ago… sweet, but not the point of the 52 NEW things.

I want to SHARE new with you.  Here is my goal (and isn’t it great to have goals):

To catch up with a post filled with NEW THINGS.  When will that happen?  Well, let’s not get all hasty.  I like to think of this as an organic process.   Okay, in all honesty, I don’t think anyone is interested in my new earrings (zebra and cute), my pink carryon way atop a shelf at Factory Connection, and my new purple scarf.

I want to share something new that is different, unique, and offers something to my readers… all 6 of you.

I’m gathering up my all  new stuff  –okay, I have ONE thing, but I’ve put it in a …. no I haven’t.  It’s in my makeup bag in the bathroom.  I’m thinking about gathering up some new things.

Until then check out these chicks who are ROCKING the new things

Trina (who I think of every single time I see a peacock anything)

Brandi (who is my Charming Charlie loving pal with an incredible sense of  humor)

Later …. off to find some more new things or really just play on Facebook.
