The Letter Game

Letter Game

What is this post? Michele gave me the letter N and I had to find things that I love that begin with the letter N. I told her I wouldn't play unless she gave me a good letter, and while I was kidding about playing she did give me a good letter! I was surprised at how many "N" things I came up with.

If you want to play along, just leave a comment on this post letting me know. I'll leave you a comment and assign you a letter. Post as many things that you love that begin with your assigned letter. When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on.

Here goes:

Noodles

Notions

Nothing

Night time (especially in the summer)

Nintendo (Wii)

Note pads

Napping Kitties!

Nature

Nieces and Nephews

New (bestest) friends

I am sure that I could come up with more if I took more time but I have already taken up way too much time with this.

Thanks Michele this was fun!

If you want to play, leave me a comment and tell me you want to play,

and I will give you a letter!

Feeling Creative today........

I am feeling a wee bit creative this week, hence the blog makeover yesterday. I still have a little work to do on it but I love the Pooh background! It goes with all of the Pooh stuff that will be in Jamie's room. I really need to get back to painting the characters on her wall!

In my search for something creative to do with myself today I stumbled upon Martha Stewart(. com). Ofcourse she had some cool stuff that is always more work than it looks when you start but in reading the comments from other people I found someone who had created a video tutorial on her blog. The video was awesome and now I will be putting some of my scrapbook papers to some good use today.

In reading her comments I stumbled on to another blog...... (I am so amazed by the creativity and talent of women!)

I hope that link works because this woman is sewing coloring books, journals, covers for grocery list books that also hold your coupons, etc. If that link doesn't work try clicking here: Pixel This. Her books are really adorable and she is giving one away to someone who leaves a comment on her website. I think you have to visit her site and leave a comment by the 12th to be entered in the drawing but it is worth the visit even if you miss the drawing. The sky is the limit with what you can use these little book covers for! I love them.

Enjoy your day and find something fun to do just for you!

It Snowed!

Our area got it's biggest snowfall of the season, only 8 inches but oh how pretty!

This shot is out my back window before the neighborhood kids got up and had a chance to play in the snow. I sat and looked out the windows and thought about all fun in the snow we will have next winter with our daughters.

I just may go out and practice my snowman making skills!

Enjoy the winter's beauty!

Wow, what an amazing book!

I have not had much time to read lately so when I choose a book I like to know that I will enjoy it. I read the Kite Runner a few months back and I was incredibly moved by the writing style and story. So moved that I needed to take a break before I could read A Thousand Splendid Suns.

It is hard to imagine but this book was even more powerful than the first book. His writing style and ability to tell the stories of women in Afghanistan is just amazing. I was pulled in with the first pages and unable to put it down until I finished reading the whole book.

If you have the time to read.......I highly recommend it!

What started out as me wanting to take a photo of some Chipboard numbers on a pretty paper background turned out to be an exploration for Tigger.

He is such a part of everything that I do, and will be a huge part of Jamie's life I decided to let him be a part of our 34 month acknowledgement.

34 months!

I want to say "celebration" but I am not celebrating the wait I am instead living in anticipation of the end of the wait.

Our referral is coming, most likely this year, and we are happy, excited, nervous, scared, but mostly happy and thrilled that soon we will finally be parents. 34 months has been a long wait, and it isn't over yet but the end is in sight! Tigger does not have a clue what is in store for his future! In the mean time I will let him happily explore all the silly things I do to record these moments in our wait.
