**Tie Dye**

I know you have all done it before....I'm talking about blog stalking! Well on Friday I was of course BLOG STALKING.....I came across someones blog that had done some tie dying. I have never done this before (or atleast I don't remember ever doing it) and it sounded like alot of fun. So I texted my sister Kesha and asked if she wanted to join in on the fun.....Sunday afternoon Kesha came over as well as my brother Jason and his family. Thanks to Kesha for doing her research to find exactly HOW to tie dye shirts. It was alot of fun....here are the results:

Ok so I totally forgot to post my favorite picture that Kesha did!!!!! Here it is....

TaLeNt WhOrEs

So I have come to the conclusion that my sister's Tiffini and Kesha are a bunch of talent whores! They somehow stole all the good crafty talent genes!!! If any of you have looked at Tiffini's website "Dream Seam" you will see what I am talking about! She can pretty much sew anything and everything. Now one of the reason's Kesha is a 'Talent Whore'....

A few weekends ago Kesha's husband gave her a nice camera for her early Christmas present...Christmas in September....she was all sorts of excited to try it out and ofcourse I was the guinea pig. She came over Saturday morning and we went around to the random areas of our back yard and took some pictures. After she worked her magic and edited them....this is how they turned out.

See a talent whore!!!!! Love ya Kesha! You did an amazing job!!!

THE DREAM SEAM

So I guess I have to support my sister....she is a crazy person....but a very creative crazy person I might add :) My sister Tiffini has started a new blog to basically sale her services, sewing services that is. Her heading of "Your Dream I'll Seam It" seriously fits her sewing skills. She can sew is without a pattern usually. Check out her blog http://thedreamseam.blogspot.com/ and place your orders! I promise you won't be disappointed.

**Mention you heard about the page from me and just MAYBE she will through in a discount....or MAYBE she will send some of the money my way ;) **hint hint**

Grandma Bone

Today is the anniversary of my Grandma Bone's death. Not quite sure how many years she has been gone. I still remember the day she died. It was a Sunday morning I was in mine and Mindi's room playing Barbies before we had to head to church, next thing I know my mom goes running into her room crying and my dad immediately follows. Me being as young as I was didnt know what was going on. After a little while my dad came out gathered us all together and told us Grandma Bone had died in the night. She went up north to visit her sister (I think it was her sister) got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and didnt make it back to her bed. Her sister found her later on.

My best memory of my Grandma actually happened not too long before she died. My grandma invited me and Mindi to sleep at her house and told us she would teach us how to crochet...my grandma later found out that was a bad idea...she kept getting mad at me because I would either do it too tight or too loose so she told me she would teach me when I was older. So needless to say to this day I don't exactly know how to crochet anything but a rope....But man can I crochet a mean rope :)

I have tons of memories from the summer times when my cousins would come down and stay at my grandmas. Here are some of them:

** walking to the gas station (thanks to my cousin Cathy I had my first taste of Dr. Pepper on the walk back from the gas station when my parents werent around:D)

** going to the park

** playing in the cherry trees (until we would get yelled at for playing in the cherry trees)

** going to the Nature Walk

** throwing stuff into the neighbors pool

** playing with her gold coins

I miss and Love you Grandma!

Please Watch With Honor

I was forwarded this email. The video is about 13 minutes long, but worth every reflecting second.
Thank you to EVERY American solider whom I've had the opportunity to meet, personally know and haven't had the honor yet.
My thanks and gratitude for your selfless act could never be described in words.
Please read before watching the video, makes it more fitting.


Killed in action the week before, the body of Sergeant First Class John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City, Georgia, just south of Atlanta, on June 11, 2009 . The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough, Georgia. A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time. Nowadays one can be led to believe that America no longer respects honor, and no longer honors sacrifice outside the military. Be it known that there are many places in this land where people still recognize the courage and impact of total self-sacrifice. Georgia remains one of those graceful places. The link below is a short travelogue of that day's remarkable and painful journey. But only watch this if you wish to have some of your faith in people restored. Please share widely.
