PAY IT FORWARD!

1. Be one of the first THREE bloggers to leave a comment on this post, which then entitles you to a handmade item from me (yeah for handmade!).

2. Winners must post this challenge on their own blog, meaning that you will pay it forward, creating a handmade gift -anything!- for the first THREE bloggers who leave a comment on YOUR post about this giveaway!

3. The gift that you send to your 3 friends can be from any price range and you have 365 days to make/ship your item. This means you should be willing to maintain your blog at least until you receive your gift and have shipped your gifts. And, remember it’s the spirit and the thought that count!

4. When you receive your gift, blog about it! If you are not one of the first three to comment on this post, you can still play along. Go ahead and start your own Pay It Forward chain, and encourage your blogging friends to do the same! It's all about paying it forward.

New Additions, updates and Fun Times - Lame title, but it's late and that was all I could think of!

Okay so I think everyone should be so proud that I am posting again.. and it hasn't even been a month!!:) But I am so excited to show everyone the couple of new additions to our family.. For those of my family members that read my blog.. This is Josh and Keri's new baby Halley (I think I spelled it right,but sorry Keri and Josh if its wrong, that is why you need to make a blog, so you can correct me!) She is so so cute I love new babies, they are so small.. you forget how tiny they are until you hold them. She is so sweet, we really LOVE her! I love Haydens face in this pic!! The other new addition is really only a big deal to Mark and I.. For those of you who know Mark and I, know how hard it is for us to make decisions and how hard it is for us to buy things (spend large amounts of money, as you can tell from what the TV is sitting on- we like to stick to hand-me-downs!).. Well folks after almost three years of debating on whether or not to buy a new TV we finally did it.. and let me tell you she is a 42" beaut!! I wanted larger, but Mark kept me in line - odd situation it's usually the opposite - The husband usually wants bigger! And yes she has wonderful Bunny Ears and they pull in a whole whopping 7 channels! A little update on Becky... she is doing okay.. She was released last week from the hospital, after being there for about 13 days or so.. I just found out that she is starting to have fevers again, so hopefully she will not have to go back to the hospital, but she said she is not going back - it was a boring couple of weeks for her! She is tired and doesn't have a lot of energy, but she keeps a smile on her face:) My mom and I took the three grandkids for a fun filled day of lunch at Wendy's, Jungle Jims Playland, and then icecream! The kids had a blast and so did we!! They are so so Cute and this was their favorite ride!

oopsie!!

Okay so when I changed my background and for some reason it deleted my friends links.. I was able to find most of you, but not all of you.. If those of you who are not on my list could please put your links down I would really appreciate it so I can keep updated on your lives!!
