Oh, Just Some Thoughts + Giveaway/Sale Info

Our, well used to be our, dog Carmen, who is now my inlaws dog, is staying with us for a few days.  I remember now why we gave her away.  We have too many crazy kids who drive her bonkers and they are the ones who gave her all her gray hairs.  On a plus side, she does clean up under our kitchen table.  High-5 for less sweeping.

I am pretty much hating on Flickr right now.  They changed it…big time…and I don’t like it…not one bit.  I know it’s small and trivial, but I am a total creature of habit.

Huddy “wrote” this crazy good story the other day and he read it to me while wearing his cowboy hat.  The cowboy hat really made the whole thing come to life.  I was entranced.  The story was called, “Pirate Ship”.

I ate a cookie today…and yesterday I ate a cookie and some jelly bellys…and I ate a sweet on Monday, but Monday waaaaaaaas Memorial Day…that should be allowed.  It has not been a good week for the no-sweets.  This is why I give away all baked goods.  They are not welcomed here.  Actually they are welcomed, maybe too welcomed.

We were suppose to go to the zoo yesterday and Amon woke up with a fever.  Boo.  Pretty confident it’s just the oh, FIVE teeth he’s cutting all at once.  He was a major hellion Tuesday night while sleeping and then last night I didn’t hear a peep…not a peep.  Weird.

When the wee Kelleys get messy and creative my heart wants to explode.  Like for reals.  Explosion.  I really really really really really hope they like art…maybe God, pleeeeeeeease?!?!

Some May orders I forgot to share.  Boom.  16×20 Joshua 24:15 headed to Sandra in Georgia.

16×16 2 Corinthians 12:9 went to Ellen in Tennessee.

And this little 5×5 was a gift for Harper’s teacher Mrs. Tanner.  Definitely one of my most favorite quotes.  You’ll see something like this again soon {insert wink}.

I’m working on Saturday Sale items.  What about some camera straps?!?!  Yep.

  Oh and after further looking at our calendar, my next Saturday Sale will actually be next Friday, June 7.  I know.  It’s not a Saturday.  Sorry.  But our Saturday is crazy, so Friday it is.

I took a whole bunch of time working on an art piece for a Mumford and Sons design contest…yes, I am a big dork.  Anyways, so after all my brainstorming and working, then I questioned and doubted myself and missed the deadline.  #hackedoff  I know I wouldn’t have won, but it would have been fun to have entered.  Definitely one of the selfish things I miss about Mom…her encouragement and the ability to seriously make me believe I can do anything.  #afterschoolspecial

I’m not going to make my 75 mile goal for this month.  It was bound to happen, so I’m cool with it.  Going to come up 9 miles short.  Pressing on and making a new goal for June.  And we started speed workouts at the track this month…love the track, hate the speed work.

This is alarming isn’t it.  I’m just not sure what to say.  You either?  Good to know.  Harper probably needs a sister.

And tomorrow is a giveaway day.  I hope you will dig it.  I think you will.  One winner and a few prizes.  See you tomorrow.

Happy Thursday!

    I love that the boys don’t look distraught with being dressed in princess attire! They will grow up to be great dad’s that can play with their daughters!!!!!!

  2. I used to make my brother dress up, too, and he turned out just fine :). Also, love, love, love the Abe Lincoln canvas (well, all of your canvases, really)!

  3. Love, love, love the dresses on the boys. I have pictures of my boys all dolled up (by my daughter), and they are growing into such sweet boys 🙂 Plus….they will turn into such great pics to pull out once they are in high school 😛
    Love the house canvas….that would make such a great “new house/moving” gift!

Your talent and creativity constantly blow me away. I need to put that quote up to read each morning. I don’t know why, but I so struggle with feeling worthy of God’s almighty grace.
