So, I think I'll head to bed and sleep it off...hopefully!!!

While I was away...

I just returned from seeing Chrissa, Brandon & baby Adelyn (in her mommy's tummy still).  I went to the sono appointment on Tuesday.  She weighs right at 6.5 pounds now.  Still a few weeks so she may be pretty big!

The nursery furniture is still in California.  Will ship tomorrow.  The store did deliver the crib (a new floor sample), the dresser (from an employee lay away) the 2 narrow book cases (actually Chrissa's that came in) and the mattress.  It all fit in the tiny bedroom.  I made a simple dot sheer over organic cotton curtain that has ribbon the color of the wall run through it on the top & bottom.  We got everything in the drawers and Chrissa has started washing everything.  A JOB!!!  The crib bedding is on and looks great.  All they lack is the changing hutch for the dresser, the artwork that daddy B is painting and Adelyn!

Here are a few pictures from my trip.

We went to Neiman Marcus to look for a coming home outfit and I love seeing their Christmas displays.  Here is my Trinity (3s) picture...

Once we got the onsies & gowns in the drawers there was much more room in the closet!  The size organizers worked great.  The top is newborn, below is 3-6 month, to the left is 6-9 month and the right is 9-12 month, 12-18 month, 18-24 month and toddler!

Express yourself...

I enjoy expressing myself through photography.  I express myself through community involvement.  I express myself by helping others.


In our worship time this morning (which by the way had great music) Dr. Hart made a statement that I knew I had to share.  A different twist on expressing my belief in the Trinity. 


The sermon was on Do All Paths Lead to Heaven?  Another great word from God.  We heard about the top 5 religions.  All these believe in one God or no God and working to get to him or not.


In the Word there is one God who expresses himself to us in three ways.  The Trinity; Father, Son & Holy Spirit.  God is the big picture, who reaches down to us through Jesus (the only way to gain eternal life) and allows us to get hands on through the Holy Spirit.

The scriptures we used are: John 4:16; Matthew 7:13-14; Acts 4:2; Ephesians 2:8-9

I am one with God and my relationship with him is more valuable to me than I can express.  He touches me and I am in awe of his mighty power!!!  He took a sinful, sinful person and made me worthy of His love.  He loves the unlovable.  Pretty rad, bad, groovy, cool stuff...I know!

This hand clutch bag is fun.  It is my Fresh Find today.  Looks like a "green" creation.

Nail in the fence...

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.  Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence He said, 'You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. ‘A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.

.

For today's Fresh Find...  Since we are talking nails, I want to introduce you to artist, John Bisbee, who makes his pieces from 12" nails.  I don't know that we might afford a piece of his work, but it is sure fun to look at.  WOW!

On Being a Redhead...

  • Women who carried one so-called "red hair color" gene but had medium or olive skin, as opposed to fair skin, actually had the highest skin cancer risk among a group of Caucasian women, Dr. Jiali Han of Harvard Medical School in Boston and colleagues found.
  • A team reports in the journal Science that it extracted DNA from the remains of two Neanderthals and retrieved part of an important gene called MC1R. In modern people, a change - or mutation - in this gene causes red hair, but, until now, no one knew what hair colour our extinct relatives had.
  • If you pass by three redhaired people, you will win the state lottery.-Polish proverb
  • The highest percentage of natural redheads in the world is in Scotland (13%), followed closely by Ireland with 10%. In the US, about 2% of the population are natural redheads.
