3 Exciting Things

So much is going on right now and I wanted to share 3 exciting things with you.

1.  Camp Create.  You guys, I don’t even know how I got in this lineup, but boy am I excited and grateful and exited and nervous!!!!

I was able to attend Whatever Craft Weekend way back in 2012 just days before being matched with Amon.  It was such a fun weekend, but also super emotional for me with us still waiting on Amon and Mom having died just 6 months prior.  I was still crying every single night, so I bounced between excitement and fun and grief the whole weekend.  My favorite thing hands down were the women (and Kimberlee’s cooking)…my cousin Rebecca, Meg & Kimberlee and all the new friends we made.  So in 2014 when I was invited to teach and help it was a no brainer.  Awesomeness…again, but even better because I was a different person and God had been healing me in so many ways.  I might have cried when I got big hugs and oh my, all the women were outstanding…again!!!!

I’m clearly on an every 2 years schedule with the Craft House and this time it’s for Camp Create.  I just don’t even know how to express my excitement.  It all goes down April 6-10th!!  Let’s just start with the real kicker…Kimberlee will be feeding you the whole time and holy moly you guys, everything she cooks is incredible.  Like crazy incredible.

Laura Kelley Fun Fact #65:  Sometimes I moan when I eat.  Now if this doesn’t tell you something about how much I love and enjoy food I just don’t know what would.  The very first dinner I ever ate at Josh Kelley’s house I got called out for my moaning which I didn’t even realize I was doing.  With all that said the moan factor is high with Kimberlee’s food.

   Amber Haines is our speaker.  She spoke at QWomen so I had my friend Jessica introduce me.  She was crazy nice.  I cannot wait to hear what God gives her to share with us.  Meg, Jeanne Oliver and myself will be teaching different skills and techniques.  Pretty pumped I get to spend this time with such amazing women.

The truth:  Today when Meg posted about Camp Create I immediately felt the doubt pour in big time.  Satan does this to me a lot and I know it.  I took a moment and then did my Bible journaling.  I started Philemon and only got through 7 verses…He met me right where I was.

4:7  “…I keep hearing of the love and faith you have for the Master Jesus, which brims over to other believers. And I keep praying that this faith we hold in common keeps showing up in the good things we do, and that people recognize Christ in all of it. Friend, you have no idea how good your love makes me feel, doubly so when I see your hospitality to fellow believers.”

Won’t you consider joining us for Camp Create?!?!  It’s going to be outstanding and not because of us, but because of Jesus.  Tickets go on sale this Monday, November 16th at noon CST.  Read about all the details HERE.

2.  The Made South Holiday Market is right around the corner…as in next Friday and Saturday, November 20-21.  Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!

As I type I am watching our current youngest cry and cover her ears from Josh Kelley using all the power tools working on my booth jazz.  It’s crazy up in here.  Anyways, I’ve got a fun promo code just for your guys.  GO HERE to purchase your ticket ahead of time and use the code pitterpatter and get 10% off.  Whoop whoop.

If nobody buys my stuff I am fully prepared to create yet another collage wall in our house 🙂

3.  So you all apparently went crazy on my Noonday party.  Let me just say…women are amazing and strong and courageous.  Geez!!!  I am so excited because of you and your desire to help create a flourishing world for other women across the world I will be giving away over $500 in Noonday goodness!!!!  This is insane and crazy, crazy fun.  I already had a list of things I wanted to pick out, but now I have to add to it even more.  So keep your eyes peeled.  One little sneak peak…

yes indeed!  This beautiful lady tote will show up on one of your doorsteps.  Be still my bag loven heart.

That’s it for today.  3 exciting things.  Feel free to share away!!

Happy Wednesday!
