Lots of fun and excitement for Lexi as this will be her first trip.<br /><br />Lexi happened to be with her daddy this past weekend while he was putting on a weekend convention and his secretary was there with them. At the end of the convention his secretary made a sign for Lexi to hang around her neck that read " taking donations for my first trip to Disney World" and placed her at the exit door where all the business men were exiting the meeting....of course she was too cute for all of those men to pass her up....<br /><br />Her pockets were overflowing as she made a total of $118 in a matter of 15 minutes. She was pretty excited to have some spending money for her trip. Too cute not to share...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqBb7z09bj9UEesh1WEt8YDdonh4SO_kL7S-hSOZ6rLuEzKXDgf1S2vRJGHfkPQyDHXDyRXHRNrYl3jOWgQ7bmKD9E8RQRyIwSdAOSEk4P2lOHIUYAbuVwxSKZ5tIKOfmDgQieMwNRuv0/s1600/03-27-10_1423.jpeg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 256px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqBb7z09bj9UEesh1WEt8YDdonh4SO_kL7S-hSOZ6rLuEzKXDgf1S2vRJGHfkPQyDHXDyRXHRNrYl3jOWgQ7bmKD9E8RQRyIwSdAOSEk4P2lOHIUYAbuVwxSKZ5tIKOfmDgQieMwNRuv0/s320/03-27-10_1423.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455406525876417250" /></a>Kimeri~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15707055288687673321noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394019687076949252.post-64938897584687276322010-03-10T12:40:00.001-08:002010-03-10T12:49:17.750-08:00Boys on the way.....I wanted to share the latest set of burp cloths I made with a couple of on line friends in mind who have baby boys on the way.

It was all positive stuff and it also came with a nice size raise.<br /><br />I just wanted to take a quick moment to brag on her and say how proud I am of her. She has come a long way over the past couple of years in maturity and I think her job has had a huge effect on her.<br /><br />As some of you may know, I am fighting a disability case and my daughter is supporting the two of us through all of this and has been for the this past year. I wouldn't be able to do this if it weren't for the help and support of my daughter.<br /><br />She is just simply my hero. She became my hero the day she was born. She has saved my life just by being who she is on more than one occasion. I am such a blessed mom and I just wanted to brag on her and thank her for all she does for me as her mom:DKimeri~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15707055288687673321noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394019687076949252.post-3966936495609515532010-02-20T20:12:00.000-08:002010-02-20T20:57:32.528-08:00HuGs-----A Dose of Healing~I've said it often, a hug is one of my most favorite things of life! I love to give and receive hugs. They are very valuable to me but when I am in a serious low or depressed state, the hardest thing for me to do is hug someone for fear they may "know" that I mostly needed one in return.<br /><br />I was not nurtured as a child. I was loved, don't get me wrong but I was not nurtured...major difference. For one, I kept myself isolated and didn't want anyone getting too close to me. I feared breaking down and spilling all the secrets that my little heart was full of.<br /><br />I didn't realize just what I had missed out on until I became and adult and a mother. That was when I realize the value of a hug. Once I started opening up and allowing someone to hug me...i was feeling a different affect it was having on me. It felt so good.<br /><br />I am still bad about clamming up when I feel the need for a hug and tend to run in the other direction because I feel shameful for feeling the desire or the need for one and certainly don't want my vulnerable feelings to show.<br /><br />I have recently been reading hug therapy books by <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Kathleen Keating<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span> <br /><br />Because I know I am not the only one in need of hugs on occasions. I found her books quite interesting!! People ask me "how can you reach out so easily to people you do not know?" It has to do with the understanding and compassionate heart that I have been given to understand that those people have a place in this world just like I do, they hurt and feel just like I do and they must be deserving or God would not have created them. That's just my thought on that.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />The Power of Hugging:<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br /><br />"Hugging accomplishes many things that you may never have thought of. It ...<br /><br /> - feels good<br /> - dispels loneliness<br /> - overcomes fear<br /> - opens doors to feelings<br /> - builds self-esteem (WOW, SHE actually wants to hug me!)<br /> - fosters altruism (I can't believe it but I actually want to hug that old son-of-a-gun)<br /> - slows down aging (huggers stay young longer)<br /> - helps curb appetite (we eat less when we are nourished by hugs and when our arms are busy wrapped around others)<br /> - More Good Things from Hugging<br /> - eases tension<br /> - fights insomnia<br /> - keeps arms and shoulder muscles in condition<br /> - provides stretching exercise if you are short<br /> - provides stooping exercise if you are tall<br /> - offers a wholesome alternative to promiscuity<br /> - offers a healthy, safe alternative to alcohol and other drug abuse (better hugs than drugs!)<br /> - affirms physical being<br /> - is democratic (anyone is eligible for a hug)<br /><br />Even More Benefits from Hugging<br /><br />- is ecologically sound (it does not upset the environment)<br />- is energy-efficient (saves heat)<br />- is portable<br />- requires no special equipment<br />- demands no special setting (a fine place for a hug is any place from a doorstep to an executive conference room ... from a church parlor to a football field)<br />- makes happy days happier<br />- imparts feelings of belonging<br />- fills up empty places in our lives<br />- keeps on working to dispense benefits even after the hug is released<br /><br />Hugging is healthy. It helps the body’s immunity system, keeps you healthier, cures depression, reduces stress, induces sleep, invigorating, rejuvenating, has no unpleasant side effects and is nothing less than a miracle drug! Its organic, naturally sweet, no pesticides, no preservation's, no artificial ingredients and is 100% wholesome. Hugging is practically perfect. There are no movable parts, no batteries to wear out, no periodic check-ups, low energy consumption, high energy yield, inflation proof, non fattening, no monthly payments, no insurance requirements, theft proof, non taxable, non polluting and fully returnable! We should be hugged or giving hugs at least twelve times a day. The giving of a hug sets the message straight! It’s a simple and wonderful message which is given."<br /><br />WOW---Who Knew?? No wonder I love hugs so much! Its a miracle drug!!:p<br /><br />I remember one time when I was a young teen, I went to give a lady a hug and she said to me " You gave me a hug, now allow me to give you one back" so she hugged me and I was amazed that she cared enough to give one in return. So simple yet so meaningful. I will never forget that dose of love in return.<br /><br />Last year, as some of you know I was going through a severe depression. I withdrew from my world around me and discovered facebook while staying hid in my home, I refused to go places nor was I wanting to be around people. That made the computer (YOU) my friend...my outlet.<br /><br />Even after making some friends...I was hiding my depression and grew more and more depressed because I was refusing to share my deepest struggles at the time and during that time of my deepest pain; I wrote a poem.<br /><br />In the cyber world, you have to actually express your feelings, needs, etc by writing for one to understand or know your thoughts or feelings because there is no face to face or eye to eye contact. No body language or facial expression to read. Even then it was hard for me to express myself. I was hurting so deeply and didn't know how to reach out....<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">How loud does a person need to scream to get even ones attention...<br /><br />How far must one go to express a need...<br /><br />How many signs must one give in hope to receive...<br /><br />How much does one have to hurt before another can read...<br /><br />No voice to be heard, no eye contact to be made, no body language to read...<br /><br />Today, there has been a need, but did anybody see?<br /><br />Does this mean i have to actually type out the words in order for you to read, just to know my very need?<br /><br />Can you feel that i have a need or do you actually have to read?<br /><br />Why must you force me to do the uncomfortable deed, to actually write out what it is that i need?<br /><br />What is it you ask, while i sit here and grieve?<br />Before i share, just allow me to breathe.<br /><br />I admit that i feared you may shrug, at the thought of me asking for a simple hug.<br /><br />The sign is really there, if you truly do care. Its waving on a pole.......the outskirts of my soul"......<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br /><br />Those are some strong words and I feel the pain I was experiencing then, every time I read them. Thank goodness I am doing so much better this month than I have in the past several months. It helps to open up and allow some of those healing hugs into our lives.<br /><br />I just wanted to take the time to share with you of how something so simple could mean so much to someone. You never know what they may be going through.<br /><br />Freely give of your hugs during this "month of Love"! Find someone to hug today. You have no idea just what it might do for someone in need. A hug to me means more than ANY gift that could be bought and/or given.<br /><br />I bless you today my friends and here is a ((hug)) for you!Kimeri~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15707055288687673321noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394019687076949252.post-18403747634028849012010-02-19T09:47:00.000-08:002010-02-19T10:44:09.573-08:00Wacky Winter~This has been one of the wackiest winters we have had in years here in NW Arkansas. We have seen the most snow this winter than we have seen in several years and I have enjoyed every snowflake that has fallen. I can't say it enough...I love the snow! I hope to see at least another snow or two before winter is over. However, I have been enjoying this spring like weather that we have been experiencing this week. It couldn't have come at a better time considering we unexpectedly lost a friend this week and needed the sun to shine down on us.<br /><br />I couldn't resist wanting to share my fun experience in the snow this winter when my daughter and I decided to go for a drive to get some winter pix of the beautiful and largest snowfall of the year (so far). We had gotten 9 inches of snow and I couldn't resist the urge to be out in it. While driving around, we come across this beautiful pond near a park and I wanted some pix of the ducks that were swimming on the pond and the beautiful scenery that surrounded it with all the snow. So, I decided to take a drive on the unplowed, side road that takes you to the pond/park. I was doing really good until I got up to the hill that we had to climb to top the edge to catch the scenery. That's where it happened.....I got stuck.<br /><br />While I tried with all my might to get unstuck; I sent Charity over the edge of the hill to take some pix of the ducks on the pond. I was so excited to get these pix and wasn't the least bit bothered that we were stuck in the snow. I was calling it a fun adventure while my daughter was rolling her eyes....LOL<br /><br />We decided to call a friend who actually happened to be real close by to come help pull us out. Once we told him our reason for being where we were he was in the middle of hooking up our vehicles and told Charity, with his pointing finger, "this is what you need to be getting the pictures of." So she runs to the van to get her camera back out and this is whet she got....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKnSa5ay8HCPEczE2JwcVUJJuNTPCn-HU8c1rhjOa-WctDnSvPRCP14rMcqQ1rb3EGGUslnlkvlOrxiXZvounFU4NVMFleFOAimZuwt6iTGSct9eQtf9S-514xw2_KJUrZpl_taVYSYec/s1600-h/Snow3.jpg"><img style="display:block;

HA~ Shame on me. <br />I even ask a dear friend Sheila to redo my blog layout for encouragement. Thank you, Sheila. You did an awesome job! I also sought some encouragement from my dear friend Dawn on more than one occasion.<br /><br />So here I am, several months later, making a fresh start! I have decided I am just gonna have to put my fingers to the keys and just "gitter done"....as random as it may be. <br />I am also gonna have to relearn all the fun little gadgets that help make blogging fun and exciting to read and write. Maybe with some help from all of my wonderful blogging friends I will have it all down again in no time:D<br /><br />As much as I love the snow, I am hoping our 2010 winter is nearing the end and our next season is ready to spring;) Each season holds it's own beauty and I appreciate the beauty and the freshness of the new blooming trees, grass, flowers and the beautiful lingering fragrances along with warmth of the sunshine!! I can almost feel and smell it all now...my escape, as cabin fever has 'bout got the best of me!<br /><br />I can't wait to share the fruits of my creative juices that have been flowing during the winter months. With all the excitement of the babies of several online friends(Lin, Kristine & Marianne)that are on their way! It sure put my mind wheels rolling. I love babies and I enjoy sewing for babies. I will share as I get them completed. Here is a shot of an unfinished set of burp cloths that I can't wait to get in the mail:D<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjOCyfqieAkGF1hA8TkNB5lqp-tgNtkOqXk_6KtK18oypFgzNlN709SCDUxng-nUInZuFS0U5VYZswhoaujVVOJs9lTx4wW0wNtFi0gaTkxThywuR_W7cG9NZsdWYCknBnoDs4o2LHlfw/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjOCyfqieAkGF1hA8TkNB5lqp-tgNtkOqXk_6KtK18oypFgzNlN709SCDUxng-nUInZuFS0U5VYZswhoaujVVOJs9lTx4wW0wNtFi0gaTkxThywuR_W7cG9NZsdWYCknBnoDs4o2LHlfw/s320/002.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439656750130153298" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrY6NJwibV7pF4MAgxqZmEuqzgjv1M5n1uW8ynnDHnhMFf149nmGwzN21PlSXMW_TONMiYvcaKmygJHqIPI_TjkL4_rnTKlIajS_aQVIpV5x-ht5sWY3HTR0J-T0b7r7WNONC3Y8_qAxs/s1600-h/003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrY6NJwibV7pF4MAgxqZmEuqzgjv1M5n1uW8ynnDHnhMFf149nmGwzN21PlSXMW_TONMiYvcaKmygJHqIPI_TjkL4_rnTKlIajS_aQVIpV5x-ht5sWY3HTR0J-T0b7r7WNONC3Y8_qAxs/s320/003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439657175704690162" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioY6TM809Rizs5u1jB91Pw2KIClOR3yX5MrxEI40XFIsE0WAHnlriwRqds5KUanuk02Wo05wemPdQxKEftkHNqx7-VBr5bYPcLOJ1zwCf5b0V9DV7ktxQwE94hZu7Rnd9zPZ9Yb5iFW0c/s1600-h/004.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioY6TM809Rizs5u1jB91Pw2KIClOR3yX5MrxEI40XFIsE0WAHnlriwRqds5KUanuk02Wo05wemPdQxKEftkHNqx7-VBr5bYPcLOJ1zwCf5b0V9DV7ktxQwE94hZu7Rnd9zPZ9Yb5iFW0c/s320/004.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439657536488077138" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1fwui6PppmaP5kS6zV8zTMFiSsFLvoMSjyPdCSUBre574Gs0Xnl8fdDJ3Nfcl5E1IC0oM9uni1I6a3y68q9h_bOlAFXXbByGfP0HRNzL_Xs9-Gc9HN6iwZhGZ9smzZmIQQ45HDY6GZko/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1fwui6PppmaP5kS6zV8zTMFiSsFLvoMSjyPdCSUBre574Gs0Xnl8fdDJ3Nfcl5E1IC0oM9uni1I6a3y68q9h_bOlAFXXbByGfP0HRNzL_Xs9-Gc9HN6iwZhGZ9smzZmIQQ45HDY6GZko/s320/005.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439657817424974770" /></a><br /><br />Don't they just make ya wanna have another baby....hehe:D<br /><br />Some of my winter coup chores should have consisted of doing lots of cleaning but instead they consisted of:<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">>></span>Organizing all of my pix into file folders. Would you believe I have so many that it actually took two full days to get that them done?! The I placed them on a flash drive so I wont lose them if my laptop ever decides to crash! Been there don't that:/<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">>></span>Organizing all of crafts supplies, threads and ribbons so I feel more like crafting when I feel my creative juices flowing instead of screaming....LOL<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">>></span>More of an activity but working on a farm scene puzzle and I have been enjoying it as it has brought back so many memories of my childhood days of living on the farm:)<br /><br />Most of you know I have had a pet in my home for the last 12 years but had to make one of the toughest decision to find my latest baby Chloe` a new home due to the difficulty of my health and finances this year. One of the hardest decisions I have had to make in a very long time. While I have had a difficult time adjusting and missing her terribly I took the time to find just the right home where I KNOW she is with a very loving family and is being a comfort to her new mommy AND she is getting ready to be a new mommy for the first time herself:D Her new family...my dearest online friend Karen drove three hours to come pick her up and I am SO looking forward to going to visit them in the Spring. My last planned trip was cut short as I was Ill and had to make a quick trip home and ended up back in the hospital for the second time in the same month.<br /><br />Speaking of spring....the sun is shining and the temp is in the 50's today...so spring-like. I think I am going to get out, soak up some sun, enjoy feeling the sun shine on my face for awhile and breathe in some fresh air. Hope it brings some healing to this heaviness I have been feeling in my heart!

If you'd like to get your little hands on some great recipes then click on the above link and join in on the fun!<br /><br />To me, the BEST recipes are the ones you KNOW people use.<br /><br /><br />Our Sunday Breakfast...<br /><br />Many of my friends have told me they have never heard of Chocolate Garvy before. You don't know what you are missing!!!!<br /><br />Chocolate Gravy<br /><br /> 3/4 C sugar<br /><br />4 tbsp cocoa<br /><br />4 tbsp flour<br /><br />2 cups milk<br /><br />Mix dry ingredients in a saucepan. Slowly stir in Milk and Whisk while bringing to a boil. Stir almost constantly until gravy thickens.<br /><br />Once the gravy is done, remove from heat & add:<br /><br />1 tsp vanilla<br /><br />1/2 stick butter<br /><br />Easy and fun for the family. Good when served over biscuits but my favorite is served over Pancakes topped with bananas or strawberries.<br /><br />ENJOY!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGcgbJ-1otG3UsuOM-A4j1HhXisLT1CRGOF_x1c8PdFyh-7IPpPd_6h8dndYLUkRbNAePQAvKrqGebtgOau4t0T16OmnVLgWnci6T8pojV91s0DUwCwd3Pr7D19glm24k5nfScOPxfDPM/s1600-h/thumb_7679_Photo_by_KeriJane.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 124px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGcgbJ-1otG3UsuOM-A4j1HhXisLT1CRGOF_x1c8PdFyh-7IPpPd_6h8dndYLUkRbNAePQAvKrqGebtgOau4t0T16OmnVLgWnci6T8pojV91s0DUwCwd3Pr7D19glm24k5nfScOPxfDPM/s320/thumb_7679_Photo_by_KeriJane.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316222874715348882" /></a>Kimeri~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15707055288687673321noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394019687076949252.post-14058715779887183492009-03-21T18:02:00.000-07:002009-03-21T18:12:33.302-07:00Spring It On!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD8PG6ttiDCipaENlHskQj55Z5KPvnmSIO96rzIxsGXEV0zvHr0pE0Jrh7DgxRwu3lMJclqB918C_obYkC-9YzvjfnamLTEAfNt3SIqiFonL4X7AoUDNLk3h32XR_hg0rFb9bK33Bq_l4/s1600-h/Spring.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 145px; height: 109px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD8PG6ttiDCipaENlHskQj55Z5KPvnmSIO96rzIxsGXEV0zvHr0pE0Jrh7DgxRwu3lMJclqB918C_obYkC-9YzvjfnamLTEAfNt3SIqiFonL4X7AoUDNLk3h32XR_hg0rFb9bK33Bq_l4/s320/Spring.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315813710872882994" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">My top five favorite things about spring are...</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1)</span>I love the sunshine/fresh air (cool enough to enjoy)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2</span>)Sprouting and budding of the flowers/trees (colors & process)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3)</span>Springtime seasonal fragrance flowers...Tulips Iris, Lilac, Daffodils, Freesia, Gloriosa, peonies, poppy's, etc.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">4</span>)Pedicure's & springtime sandles<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">5)</span>watching friends and family come out of their winter woe's<br /><br /><br />What are yours...do share:)Kimeri~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15707055288687673321noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394019687076949252.post-11580739051310697402009-03-16T12:41:00.000-07:002009-03-16T13:46:22.947-07:00New Blogger Gratitude~<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLdWu1HlxSE7M_xAc03cUXG_lk_qO4rot3SMwNCJhfpBw6DfomyLsURZRE5taGq6aF6w8EclnkIZBXbeYBSJnJzsNzSNsBIGizdzkQMgGW-XLFU823VvLqts1qz4svdOTOn2r9vEt9Goo/s1600-h/Gratitude3.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 124px; height: 86px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLdWu1HlxSE7M_xAc03cUXG_lk_qO4rot3SMwNCJhfpBw6DfomyLsURZRE5taGq6aF6w8EclnkIZBXbeYBSJnJzsNzSNsBIGizdzkQMgGW-XLFU823VvLqts1qz4svdOTOn2r9vEt9Goo/s320/Gratitude3.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313875295544228354" /></a><br />I am a new blogger as many of you know.

I enjoy a day once in a while where all I do is rest and relax. Ahhhh~<br /><br />I did wake with a mild, nagging headache this morning that I am still trying to get rid of but I am doing as little as possible outside of sitting in my recliner with my laptop. I am catching up on all my world of online friends, blogging, a few minor computer projects and surfing the local online classifieds looking for a new job. Still have my job at the shop but feel in my gut that it is time for a change.<br /><br />Had a wonderful weekend and some great services yesterday! We had a Missions Conference and our Sunday School Kids put on a program that turned out to be awesome!

I will be going to the fellowship hall where we a bunch of us ladies will be starting our annual fundraiser where we make Chocolate peanut butter eggs and sell them to raise funds for our ladies ministries across the world. It is a lot of fun to get together as making them is all the fun in the annual fund raiser. Here is a pic of the ones I made for Lexi & Charity last year. They both get one every year! Can't wait to get started!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjunBL0nZymvyY7sH8_EMrdFl6o6OaX9QEqMiIss7hEEXEkQvQ5LDC0RMyQarhNzMXCeWCbWN7OY3jqDAJP2Y3g5UwMlpJV4wdpF9lKeG59G9Q0ihyphenhyphenLgrGDgQgvkyxVys1tIisMakGl3mE/s1600-h/CharityCPEgg-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 195px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjunBL0nZymvyY7sH8_EMrdFl6o6OaX9QEqMiIss7hEEXEkQvQ5LDC0RMyQarhNzMXCeWCbWN7OY3jqDAJP2Y3g5UwMlpJV4wdpF9lKeG59G9Q0ihyphenhyphenLgrGDgQgvkyxVys1tIisMakGl3mE/s320/CharityCPEgg-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313869361723261666" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsvzodNpTWCsCbVcOcGX8wxPRc1sFDZLIbdqah6EovFiqoL0cjrkj2CAoAt4ZcpL5K6ymLjZge6VZOvSbYLRXNB65CNQAQ62PFRjJQzFgrYS5iSI-I1yjRw5Wkcmprek0aIYB88-RTD6M/s1600-h/LexiCPEgg-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 207px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsvzodNpTWCsCbVcOcGX8wxPRc1sFDZLIbdqah6EovFiqoL0cjrkj2CAoAt4ZcpL5K6ymLjZge6VZOvSbYLRXNB65CNQAQ62PFRjJQzFgrYS5iSI-I1yjRw5Wkcmprek0aIYB88-RTD6M/s320/LexiCPEgg-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313869355897930802" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Happy Monday, everyone!</span><br /><br />Kimeri~Kimeri~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15707055288687673321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394019687076949252.post-7573651732242219642009-03-11T15:07:00.000-07:002009-03-11T15:10:33.313-07:00Wordless Wednesday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiose2pC-PYA3PDP0IxBh-iE5r9OplkoqJlZHVJArP7tPw1EwXypFz_f17nWcFkIc5Vvk8bAC34NMFIDEuCh_9NBqi5pxFKUszIpwiiUY8LCnIOehUD9pKXYpQoCNN8HOO63T7rKZJMJ-0/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 197px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiose2pC-PYA3PDP0IxBh-iE5r9OplkoqJlZHVJArP7tPw1EwXypFz_f17nWcFkIc5Vvk8bAC34NMFIDEuCh_9NBqi5pxFKUszIpwiiUY8LCnIOehUD9pKXYpQoCNN8HOO63T7rKZJMJ-0/s320/006.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312056006199197554" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZQc7h8SNYAhJHFhyFo3TfoQMT_eYzqdtJGhTnTD9lMHhoXlA5b_c5lY_NxvKe9rzF_EPe4VEuUB84_7Sg08oU9PjEH27xKIBlkCCkKM_Uaks2EypWnevpoc3c8fRsxk21kAWhTP5lOrA/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZQc7h8SNYAhJHFhyFo3TfoQMT_eYzqdtJGhTnTD9lMHhoXlA5b_c5lY_NxvKe9rzF_EPe4VEuUB84_7Sg08oU9PjEH27xKIBlkCCkKM_Uaks2EypWnevpoc3c8fRsxk21kAWhTP5lOrA/s320/005.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312056001708009394" /></a>Kimeri~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15707055288687673321noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394019687076949252.post-60644877513087107672009-03-11T08:37:00.000-07:002009-03-11T08:53:50.053-07:00I want to give you a GIFT<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcLm93NQxrrqJDQJK04jS3tlHUqAzl5ZubUZmuTukXIXJY_uV5_WUWI0DR8Dbfd7ISQLTpFaHJ0rDlpIbk5GTC29D5g2EPK-8TggGv-EsRwMVOVBAopc7i_87XIUpAL6EwcKXXQRX9JpU/s1600-h/Crafting.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 264px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcLm93NQxrrqJDQJK04jS3tlHUqAzl5ZubUZmuTukXIXJY_uV5_WUWI0DR8Dbfd7ISQLTpFaHJ0rDlpIbk5GTC29D5g2EPK-8TggGv-EsRwMVOVBAopc7i_87XIUpAL6EwcKXXQRX9JpU/s320/Crafting.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311958839147176434" /></a>The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:<br /><br />1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!<br />2. What I create will be just for you.<br />3. It'll be done this year. (ha! 10 whole months :)<br />4. You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry or an article on properly cleaning your face before a masque. I may draw or paint something. I may bake something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!<br />5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.<br /><br />The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog.The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me!

Even though I know she loves me, she does not always want to come when I want her too. Now that she is older, she has friends that she enjoys spending time with, a granny that always has her cousins over on the big farm with lots of running room and fun things to do or now chooses to go with her mom to spend time with her future dad.<br /><br />It rained on Saturday which spoiled out outdoor time. So we stopped by the square on Sunday afternoon and let her run around and play for a while. She LOVES the outdoors.<br /><br />Here are some snaps I took while she was playing and a few poses I had her to squeeze in there. I was tickled pink to have had time with one of my little family jewels...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEzCnjagUas0haqoCuhWYjPreg3exFiyaic5l532tPsMHLQD6zcngieQoN-UJr0t_yTOyygS4w6IK_ZC14XWz4vLhzE2vcMV_aLby19raTgdbqtf5JcuWjNPCsHINxTS9Fxn8h0qTQ94U/s1600-h/055.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Her Dr's tried to get me to put her on disability. They told me she would never be able to hold down a job because of all that she had been through and the effect that it had on her socially and emotionally. I was told it would cause her problems all of her life and it would be easier to get her on disability at her young age rather than waiting. I refused to label her and chose right then and there to leave it all in God's hands.<br /><br />Several years later...<br /><br />My daughter just had her one year review with her job at Walmart and not only did she exceed everything on the charts, she was told that she was THE friendliest/best customer service clerk they had on schedule and told her they see her going far with Walmart if she so chooses. AND she was given a Customer Service Excellence Award. <br /><br />Not only did I want to share how proud I am of her but to share our testimony in giving God praise for what He did in her life by honoring the faith that I placed in Him for her healing.<br /><br />GOD IS GOOD!!Kimeri~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15707055288687673321noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394019687076949252.post-61899729529632366862009-03-03T08:02:00.000-08:002009-03-03T10:21:29.569-08:00Enjoyable & EventfulSundays are always an enjoyable and eventful day for me.<br /><br />I teach Sunday School on Sunday Mornings and I enjoy it. Last quarter I taught missions. This quarter I have crafts. Kids really like the craft session.<br /><br />we do a rotating system in Sunday school and the children seem to enjoy it so much more than sitting in one class the whole morning. They are broke down by age groups and break into twenty minute sessions which include recreation, snack, craft, music & bible story which sometimes includes a puppet show.<br /><br />I just wanted to share a few photos of the craft we did this last Sunday. The kids enjoyed it and that is all that matters to me. The week before we did a little clothes pin horse and they enjoyed that too. I am in the process of looking for a fun western theme craft for next Sunday and some to follow.<br /><br /><a href="http://s150.photobucket.com/albums/s98/Kimeri/?action=view¤t=011.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s98/Kimeri/011.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s150.photobucket.com/albums/s98/Kimeri/?action=view¤t=012.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s98/Kimeri/012.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s150.photobucket.com/albums/s98/Kimeri/?action=view¤t=CraftCorral.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s98/Kimeri/CraftCorral.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I sing on the praise team in the evening service and I enjoy that so much as well.<br />I tried to find a photo to share but I must have deleted it...lol I hope to share some videos soon as we are almost finished with our remodel in the sanctuary.Kimeri~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15707055288687673321noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394019687076949252.post-74024811982751052802009-02-24T07:24:00.000-08:002009-02-24T11:15:53.480-08:00Measure My Monday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisXbdhYatOC0EU1ugIOzAnmrEwzU-PBVJMsqCFz88uMcD-In5Cu8Mz_5O5Whtvtj4tOZUfm7ma7Lf9-V-yKHYyiEZq6AIV2h4m9JZoVwe5Jtgp16lji7p6_J_oWAK5kSGAIbYQd_v2JyE/s1600-h/2619789379_e8992e814f.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisXbdhYatOC0EU1ugIOzAnmrEwzU-PBVJMsqCFz88uMcD-In5Cu8Mz_5O5Whtvtj4tOZUfm7ma7Lf9-V-yKHYyiEZq6AIV2h4m9JZoVwe5Jtgp16lji7p6_J_oWAK5kSGAIbYQd_v2JyE/s320/2619789379_e8992e814f.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306428877220693106" /></a><br /><br />Mondays have always been one of my least favorite days of the week until recently. I decided to start taking Mondays off. A week day that I can do as I please rather it me relax, clean, take care of business, etc.<br /><br />Sundays are big for me. I teach Sunday School and sing on the praise team at church. That means early for class for preparation and early for services for practice. They end up being long and not feeling like a day off. Don't get me wrong....I very much enjoy every ounce of it which was my reason for applying for the positions. I just didn't like starting a new work week out after such a big day.<br /><br />Back to Monday...<br /><br />I use to measure my work Mondays as Manic, totally crazy "catch up" and "start up" days. And its no fun starting up a Monday when you are already exhausted!<br /><br />Now that I am taking Mondays off and to break the "Mundane Monday". I use other "M" words to measure my Monday's....mild, moderate, motivated, etc.<br /><br />This week I used "Motivated Monday" because I started my spring cleaning early. Taking one room at a time, cleaning from top to bottom. The older I get the longer it takes so it may take me a month of Mondays to finish even this small spaced apartment. But I hope to stay motivated to the end!<br /><br />I often hear people use the term "Manic Monday". Is that the way you measure your Monday?<br /><br />SO, how DO YOU measure your Mondays?Kimeri~http://www.blogger.com/profile/15707055288687673321noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394019687076949252.post-75086000626995939552009-02-21T11:52:00.000-08:002009-02-24T11:19:03.893-08:00Kimeri's Kastle<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEbCVTJgbkRCfDt04doaJm5pHyMqf9FZX-xXJu524e5cd8RC21Srli0SF6ZgCrxiBiLd5YN1gyx1I564hIn-TyOexTksZKS-fI2TrD17scBZALtM_H1ao8_qsme_6xaJBLlIoGZBficaE/s1600-h/Castle.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 258px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEbCVTJgbkRCfDt04doaJm5pHyMqf9FZX-xXJu524e5cd8RC21Srli0SF6ZgCrxiBiLd5YN1gyx1I564hIn-TyOexTksZKS-fI2TrD17scBZALtM_H1ao8_qsme_6xaJBLlIoGZBficaE/s320/Castle.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306445480745650914" /></a><br /><br />My new blog page was created to help pull me from my writing plunge and attempt to keep me connected even when I'd rather be hiding out. During the process of blogging, I hope to make and meet many new friends. Thank you Brett, <a href="http://dawnsdiversions.blogspot.com/">Dawns Diversions</a> husband for helping me come up with the name.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">For those who don't know me:</span> I am a single mom who proudly raised my DD on my own. I am an active member of my church assembly, crafty, creative, fun loving, outgoing and enjoy long drives while enjoying God's creation. One of my favorite ways of collecting myself mentally and emotionally.<br /><br />I have a small family but enjoy spending time with extended family. I live life positively and make the best of all that comes my way. I have been working on writing a book (Testimonial)off and on for two years but find it difficult at times and put it away. Again, I am in hopes that blogging will pull me from the plunge. I am ready to stop talking about it and finish it soon, get it published and share! All in hopes to help moms, women, young ladies, to over come their abusive past and offer hope for healing through the love of Jesus Christ. I am a survivor and even though I struggle with depression and have been diagnosed Bipolar, I know first hand how God's love is an amazing healing element. As He has pulled me from the pits of suicide and spared my life.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">My interests are:</span> church, coffee, computer projects, crafts, creating, daughter, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>decorating, designing, dogs, family, friends, forensics, hosting, moonlight, movies, music, nieces, organizing, pedicures, photography, reading, scraping, serving, singing, sewing, snowflakes, and writing.<br /><br />2 years ago this month, I left my career job working for a local media company and went back to work (after a long break) in the floral business. I am a floral designer and wedding consultant. I enjoy designing but prefer specializing in weddings & events and customer service.<br /><br />Looking forward to not only what the blog world has to offer me but I hope to have a few things to offer as well.
