Friendship Bag Swap

A little while back I joined a Friendship Bag Swap hosted by the Quilting Gallery.


This is the lovely little "Dutch" bag I received all the way from the Netherlands. Thank you, Erica!
Check out all the wonderful goodies that were inside....
Butter candies.... YUM!
Cute little Dutch shoes, and some beautiful blue and white fabrics with Dutch inspired prints.

Upon receiving my bag... it quickly made me realize how I too needed to get a bag off to my Swap partner. So... here is the bag sent yesterday to my secret swap partner filled with some Moda goodness.

Thank you, Michele for hosting such a surpising event and to Rachel for the wonderful bag tutorial!

Also, Thank you to all of you that left warm wishes and prayers for me and my family while Paige had surgery. She is back home and doing very well. Thank YOU!!!

Hopeful...

Today, we are off to the Hospital where my sweet little girl will be having surgery to have ear tubes put in and her adenoids removed.

Feeling a bit nervous, anxious, hopeful, scared, well... you get the point.

She has had a long history of ear infections, sinus infections, and respiratory issues to say the least and I am hopeful that this helps all of the above.

Please say a prayer for her that she does well in surgery and a couple for me that I stay calm and collected through this very short procedure.

At least this little cutie will be there to accompany Paige during her surgery.

I DO.

Congrats to my little sister, Rachael, and her new hubby, Chris!

Over the last few weekends, I have been going back and forth to my sister's house to help her prepare for the BIG DAY! One weekend of prep, one weekend of fun and a Bridal Shower, and the next a Wedding where they said... I DO.
The wedding ended with a beautiful fireworks display. The wedding and reception was all our doors where we were blessed with beautiful weather.

Congrats, Rachael and Chris! Oh... and Chris... welcome to the family!

Winner...

Do you think you guessed the right amount of DUM-DUM's?

For those of you that do not know what a Dum-Dum is, it is a delicious little lolli-pop that is the perfect size to satify your sweet tooth and comes in several yummy flavors. My kids look forward to receiving these after visiting the doctor's office. Also great for using to bribe your little one in completeing chores and as a reward when they do good.

Okay... I let you wait long enough.... There are...

228 Dum-Dums

There was not a single person that nailed it on the head, however there was one person that was only 5 dum-dum's away from guessing the correct amount.

Congratulations, Jodie!
