Halloween Hoot@ Central

We had such a good time at Central on Sunday night! I really do appreciate all the family activities that are provided. We just love going there. Thank you GOD for our church family. (even though SOME of them look VERY strange in the pics..haha

A card from RAYRAY

Lilly has many friends at Central. She often "pew jumps" during service. One person that Lilly sees every Sunday is Ray Bennett. He always calls to check on her if we miss, and brings her candy. Today she received a card from her RAYRAY. He is such a sweet man!! He even sent a post it note to me through Lilly to bring her by his house on Halloween night. haha

Two faces only a...

Daddy could love!! It's been hard having a toddler, and potty training a 4 month old pup who weighs 56 lbs.

Opinions needed..

After much thought( be easy now..LOL) I am tossing around the idea of only doing handmade appliques. I have come up with the name of "FAB"LIQUES. I will also have a store on Etsy in the near future. I really want some honest opinions..even if you don't have a blog..(Sonya C., Anne V. etc..you can still let your opinion be known.

More Gobblers..

Leigh Hillis ordered this Gobbler for her DD Samatha. Sam is also one of my great students!

Just a sneak peek...

No Lilly isn't wearing this for Halloween, but someone else in the family is...who could it be????

Get out the hanky..

Our preacher Tim Parish has been doing a series on the Family. Last Sunday he issued a challenge to the husbands to do something nice for their wives. Well Steve made me do the ugly cry this morning. While he was headed out to Kentucky with my dad, I awoke to find this on my jewelery chest. This is exactly what I like. Sure he could have taken me out, got flowers, etc.. but this was just right!!! I would type what it says, but it makes me cry. If you want to read it, simply click on the picture. Thank you God for giving me Steve!!!!

Photo Session with Kandice Patrick

Saturday the family headed to the old home place that belongs to June and Preston Huckeby to have our yearly pictures taken. I must say that I am very impressed with not only her ability to make jewelry, but to take pictures also. Kandice is a very sweet and kind person. She also works well with children ( which is a plus!) Have a look at our slide show. Please let me know which ones you like. I am having trouble deciding!!!! http://webpages.charter.net/patricksphotography/cantrell/cantrellslideshow.html And if you see June or Preston let them know how beautiful kept their place is.
