The Winners!

So I actually got five comments but one was me and one was Casey (who commented just to prove to me that he reads my blog, I think, but I guess he can win too!). So the winners are:

Casey
Katie
Sarah
One of Casey's parents*
AND late Marlene =)
*I'm not sure which one of you commented. It was you, right? Hey and maybe I'll take some time to make ME something for a change! =) Congratulations to you all and remember that I have a year to get your prize to you.

OVER-Last Day!!!

Today is the last day to enter for my giveaway! It looks like whoever comments will pretty much win so go ahead and comment to this post or the giveaway one and don't be afraid of the commitment...I won't hold you to it!! =) This was just for fun! So if you'd like to have a giveaway too you can, but really, I'll love you even if you don't. Okay? Is that better? LOL!

I Remember!

I spent this weekend remembering how to crochet and learning how to read pattern instructions. I never did know how to do that. But now I think I could make whatever I wanted with instructions! I'm way excited! I started off making some flowers, booties and hats for the girls' kitties then baby booties and then the hat for Katie Belle. She loves it! I think it's kind of her style. =) Anyway, I'm pretty proud of myself although now I REALLY need to get back to finishing Luke's quilt.

My Dancing Princesses

We finally got the movie "Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses" and it is now the girls' favorite movie. They all dress up in their dresses and dance. I'd have to say that it's not all that graceful most of the time, with them running into each other and straight falling on the floor, but they sure have fun!

Patience

I saw Maia playing with our cat and I just HAD to get a picture of our cats face. THAT is the look of patience. She really is a good cat and with all she has to put up with it's a good thing!

At least Maia is enjoying herself.

OVER-A Giveaway!!!

I won something from my friend Sarah's blog! Now, the catch is that with winning I'm supposed to host my own giveaway sooo....you can win too!

Here is how it works:
Comment on this post to be in a drawing and maybe you will win something from me. (I get to choose what you get.) There will be five winners.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations: (I borrowed these from Sarah, with a few modifications.)
1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I give you.
2- What I give will be just for you.
3- It'll be done within a year.
4- You have no clue what it's going to be. It could be something bought, crocheted, something sewn, something baked, something glued, something folded, something written...who knows?! You can make a request if you like, but I may have something in mind for you already, so no promises. =)
5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. =)

The catch? It's the same as mine! The catch is that if you win you must re-post this on your own blog (if you have one)and offer the same deal to at least one of your own lucky blog readers. If you don't have a blog then I guess you're off the hook for being soooooo behind the times. =)

So, I will have a drawing to find out who is the winner. YOU MUST LEAVE A COMMENT BY TUESDAY (April 21st) AT MIDNIGHT IF YOU WANT IN.

Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it (again, if you HAVE a blog). So, comment away! Hopefully I'll get at least five comments. If not, I guess whoever comments wins. Good luck!

Happy Easter!

Finally! I can't believe how busy I've been! I've literally been hitting my pillow EXHAUSTED. But hey, my laundry is almost done. =) We had a fun Easter. The kids went on a Easter egg hunt at the church and got plenty of candy and little toys and stickers to make the hunt a success. Or, in other words, we didn't have to go to any more. Hurray! The girls and I even got to see the Easter Bunny and they were thrilled that the Easter Bunny blew kisses at them! That was very cool. I wish I could've taken a picture of everyone in their Easter clothes, they all looked so nice, but my camera card was full AND I forgot before they'd changed. I'll make them dress up again and take a picture soon. Anyway, I hope you all had a happy Easter and that you all know how much we love you! We're always so grateful for all our friends and family.

I figured his dad would be proud of this picture. =) (Do you love the EASTER basket?)
