My old self is a mere shadow in the ally way of my past.

I have been reinventing myself since I got pregnant with Rylee. I have become a non-smoker. I have changed my eating and exercise habits. I have even changed my vocabulary. I rely on God more and more to change me from the inside. I want to be the best I can be for her. I want her to see an example of a Godly woman. I am sure my description of what a Godly woman is can be different from others views. I strive to be like Jesus in my daily life. If some one needs prayer, I will pray. If someone needs anything I try to give and do whatever I can. When someone offends me or hurts me, I do my best to forgive and pray for them. I spend time reading and praying for understanding and applying the Word. When things don't go according to plan, I try to just breath and see what God is doing in the situation. When new ideas or frustrations or challenges come into our family, I try to see what the spirit is behind them. Also to pray for what God would want us to do. When I fail to do any of these things, I ask God to please teach me how to handle it better and forgive myself. I love as much as humanly possible, with my heart so far out there that it is trampled often. Thank you God for always being consistent! I want Rylee to just learn from me that Jesus died for her, and that she is so very special. I want her to learn to love Him, and to love others. I want to teach her to forgive and pray. I want her to learn that although many bad things happen in this world there will be a new world some day and that is why we live in this world and are not of it. I think if I just love God and keep my eyes focused on Him all these things will happen. I don't feel like it is a sacrifice to let go of my old self. I feel like a Phoenix! I want Him to search my heart. I want to know that every time I fail, I am learning to be better for Him. I love to be always learning, growing and changing. My old self is a mere shadow in the ally way of my past. Let me be made over Lord, by Your Spirit. Let us prosper here in order to further the kingdom in Jesus' name! Amen... Thanks for reading my freestyle rambles. I may make light, but this is so heavy on my heart. I am excited to be a daughter of the King of Kings!

Hi all!! Check out the new ideas!!

Snow, Snow, Snow! This is all there is to talk about! It is January and we are in the middle of an arctic blast!
I figure it is a great time to update the blog and let everyone know what I am up to in the warmth of my home. I was able to snap a couple shots of Rylee in the most recent leg warmers I made. There is a black pair and a blue pair available. I am also in process of setting up shop on ETSY, and that fires me up!!

Do you know how hard it is to get her to STOP for a second?!

Yes, I put one of each on her and she is sitting on a white towel.

I made them from men's dress socks! How cute is that!!?

 I have a few new cover options for rice bags and you will flip! I love to wear bandannas and I realized they are made of 100% cotton so they will do well for rice bags! So cute and back in style, that is how it is. I stay the same and every 20 years my style comes back! (hee hee)

You see there is a very groovy rose colored paisley and yellow. The colors are much bolder than these pics are showing. The bandannas are teal, fuchsia and purple.

And below is an example of the finished bandanna style!

Scrapbooking!

I really had a blast making gifts for Christmas this year. I am really needing the creative outlet. Don't get me wrong, I am loving being a mom and staying home with Rylee, but I have to create something with my hands and keep learning or I will go crazy!!

Do you want an idea for a unique gift? Take a handful of pics and write on the back of them a description of the event, feeling and location. Then put them into order and create a page for every couple of them till you have created a book. Don't have the time??

Well, I would love to do this for others. I could really make a scrapbook for you. Doesn't have to be big and fancy, or if you wanted it to... Only catch is I haven't a clue how much to charge. I was thinking about by the hour. I guess I could charge by the size of the book. What do you think?? Realistically It would be cost of supplies and time.

                                                  My most recent, just for fun scrapbooking 

I am so ecclectic!

                      

I could buy specific themes however.

Well, is anyone interested in this idea??
