Life in the HEAT

As a dweller of Arizona,

We have been having some major HEAT!

This is no surprise. It happens every year.

I am thankful we a pool where we live.

All though at some point it will become 

like bath water.  Not so fun.

But there is plenty of Vitamin D to be had in this state.

And yet I am low on vitamin D.?.???

I know why..because its too hot to go out. :)

I hope you have a blessed Sunday and take the time

to praise Jesus and thank him for 

every single thing in your life.

June is Coming Soon

It's hard to believe that May will soon be over

and we will be ushering in June.

Summer is in full swing where I live. Thankfully we have

only been in the lower 100s.

I know the 115s are coming but I am hope those stay away for a while.

I have been busy sewing up orders and 

tending to our container garden.

Mother's Day was wonderful and quiet.

Having older boys who work there isnt a whole lot of hoopla lol

But I did get my picture with them.

Every Mother's Day that is the only gift that I want.

I started this a few years ago. 

The boys have warmed up to the idea I think.

They don't like pictures but they do love their mom.

These 2 make my heart full.

Happy Anniversary to Us

I can hardly believe that it is going
to be  May already.

Did May sneak up on anyone else?

It sure did me.

I have been pretty busy with 

Patriotic Heart orders.

Seems everyone is already decorating for summer.

I know that it has arrived here in Arizona.

This month hubby and I celebrated our 24th Wedding Anniversary.

We headed to Northern Arizona where it is alot cooler. 

We went to a deer farm and my hubby LOVED it!

It was so much fun watching him feed the deer and them surrounding him.

He ended up with so much deer hair on him. 

There was a camel there. I think her name was Grace. She was eating

carrots out of hubbies hand.

If you ever get a change to visit a deer farm or if you are in Arizona

you should stop by the one we went to.

It is called The Grand Canyon Deer Farm

You can find it HERE

Hubby and I had a great time.

I sure do enjoy being his wife.

He is pretty awesome.

Stars All Year Long

I have to tell you.

I like making stars.

Doesn't matter what the color. I really like making them.

I love these Americana ones. So ready to hang them up for 4th of July.

This is one I made as a Christmas Ornament. 

It is hand stitched the word Believe.

This one is also a Christmas Ornament. It is made from linen.

The hand made tag says Joy.

I offer Stars year round for sale in my Etsy shop.

You can get them Here

Some of my most favorite verses are found in 

2 Corinthians.

My next breath, tonight, tomorrow, next week, next year

and beyond is not promised to us.

Only this moment.

If you don't already know Jesus and have not accepted Him

as your savior I hope that you will.

You don't have to be in a church, or with a pastor, just right where you 

are. He is waiting.

Allergies?

What we call Spring time in Arizona

is in full force. 

For the last few weeks I had avoided an allergy

related troubles.

Then I decided to sit outside for a few minutes ...

and BAM!

Sneezing...stuffy....watery eyes. 

Yep finally hit me. 

So this weekend I decided to stay inside and

stay out of our heat. 

It has been in the 90s and well this girl doesnt do well in the heat!

Maggie and Shelby seem to be getting along alot better.

Shelby is almost a year old but she still wants to play 

ALL THE TIME!

Here is a rare glimpse of them

getting along...all though this was

right before Shelby smacked Maggie.

This Christian life is NOT always and easy one.

But it is so worth it!

Where do we go to renew and grow our faith?

To his word!

The more we read and hear his word 

the stronger our faith becomes. 

and it grows and grows.

Learning and Learning

As a kid I remember hearing my grandma say how fast time flies.

Being a kid I remember thinking

Christmas takes forever to get here.

What I learned.

The older we get the faster life goes.

I plan to enjoy this life.

Every minute God has blessed me with.

and I am learning a few things along the way.

I am leaning how to take selfies with a selfie stick!

I am leaning that windy day trips with the hubby are amazing!

Even if the lake is pretty dried up!

and if my hair is blowing and tickling his face.

I am learning that even when you are stuck in the mud

God is there to help out.

We were stuck in the mud and I looked out my window and said 

Hey there is a carpet out there.

Yes in the middle of the woods!

You see that carpet gave us enough traction to get out of the mud,

Oh how I love the Lord.

How I love this season in my life.

Even with all its trials.

How about a car show

Happy Sunday Morning.

The weather here in Arizona is spring like

so hubby decided it was high time

we went to a car show.

Hubby has a love affair with Corvettes!

He always has.

I tend to gravitate towards Mustangs!

I loved this 1966 Mustang...so Sweet!

We call this...Corvette Row lol

We had a great time.

I am enjoying this cool weather because summer is coming for us

and I don't like the heat.

Did you do anything fun this week?

Has the Lord been good to you?

He sure has been good to me.

He has brought me through some really difficult trials!

I hope this graphic reminds us,

who we need to run to in times of need.

and not to be afraid.

Oh that is the hard part isn't it?

Busy Making Things

Happy Sunday Friends!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

I have been busy creating things for my Etsy shop.

Like these pretty green flowers.

Decided I had better get some Americana Hearts listed as well.

These say USA on them

They would look great on the patio in your Patriotic Decor

I hope that the week has been good to you.

Let me know how you are doing!!

The kitties

It is no secret

the kitties we get always always pick

my hubby as their favorite human.

Here is naptime with Shelby...she literally has to be touching hubby while she sleeps.

And then there is Maggie. She waits patiently by the door looking for hubby to 

come walking up from work to give him love!

Shelby if a Russian Blue

she is too curious for her own good and smart!

She studies you when you do things and tried to  mimic it.

Maggie is almost 5 and honestly she just loves seeing if

 she can sqeeeeze into any box or container we have.

I adore having these two kittes!!!

Do you have any fur babies?

I really love hearts. They are one of my most favorite things to make.

These are made from cozy flannel. Have yall felt that stuff..man it is soft!

Then I threw some tulle on it because its pretty and kinda girly. :)

These are actually one of my biggest sellers. 

The red ticking hearts.

They are so pretty!

My stacked hearts that say believe on a hand made tag.

This girl loves her tags!!! 

I throw them everywhere!

I was going to ask, do yall decorate for Valentine's Day?

I don't really but I am thinking this year I just might.

I have seen so man cute valentine creations on Pinterest my head is spinning!

Until next week may you have a blessed day!

Make Your Spouse A Priority

If you have a spouse

make sure you spend as much time with them as you can.

Spend Time taking pictures even when the wind is making your hair a hot mess.

Spend time trying to figure out that selfie stick and laughing so hard the picture is blurry

Take time for fast day trips. 

Take time to smile.

You get ONE life with your spouse.

One to make memories and show that person absolute love.

Make them a priority in your life.

Make them what God intended them to be in your life.

Forget the small stuff.

The dishes that arent done. 

The shoes he left on the floor.

The clothes that didnt get folded.

The oil change that needs done on the car.

Guess what...that dont matter.

Your spouse does!

What I learned in 2016

I don't know that Blogland has enough space for me to 

tell all that I have learned.

So I will share some biggies with ya.

I learned that I missed blogging. Even if it is only me reading it.

I learned that having a kitten in the house is wonderful 

and challenging. 

I learned that when one of your kids move out..

your heart isnt prepared for it.

I learned that living a Godly life in front of your kids does pay off.

I learned that a marriage can be such an amazing thing.

I learned that I will survive the Arizona summer heat.

I learned that building a wonderful business takes time and lots of work.

I learned that health is so precious and its time I remembered that.

I learned that if I stay close to Jesus...no matter what the world thinks..

He will be just as close to me.

Did you learn anything in 2016?

I'd love to hear!
