The Artist
Here is the pic of Emma with her painting! I can't wait to get it home and hang it in my house!
This is BIG!
I feel so honored! Wilna Furstenburg posted on her blog that the music on my blog inspires HER! Whoa, if you know this girl, then you know that SHE is the one who inspires. You can't read her blog without feeling like everything is going to be ok. She just has this way of using scripture to give you that lift you need each day. You really need to read her blog. She is also a fabulous scrapbooker. She created these adorable ornaments for our Wrapper's Delight silent auction. There is a pic of it on our ScrapETC blog. She will keep inspiring you often. So, make sure you keep her on your list of blogs you read!
I can't find my camera cord.....does this surprise anyone? I didn't think so. I got a new lens yesterday. It is going to make my pictures so much better! A Nikon 50mm 1.8.......thanks to Elizabeth. She had hers at the event and I knew that is what I need for my camera so that I don't have to use my flash. I think she uses a Canon, but the lens is the same.
Emma was one of 20 3rd graders chosen for an Art show at Bryant Bank! WOW, how cool is that? The art teacher chose the drawings and the bank picked winners! Several of Emma's friends were in the show. My Emma got 3rd place!!!! She got $50 to open a savings account! We are so proud of her. As soon as I find my camera cord, I will post a picture of my little artist and her painting with her 3rd place ribbon.
Today is my day off from the store. That means I don't have to be there from 10-6, but I will be there doing a Happy Hour, which is a little project you can come in and do. Today it is a Valentine layout. It is adorable and created by the Elizabeth that I mentioned earlier. This girl's got it going on! So, come by and create a quick layout. I will be in and out of there today. I may try to decorate for Christmas. It's time, right?
Oh and good news....we have a showing on the house at 4:00 today! keep your fingers crossed!

I've been tagged....
This means I have to tell you 6 random things about me.
I am inspired by the one that picked me.....Katie
1. I, like Katie, am on the hunt for the perfect lip color. I had the perfect one. Bobbi Brown lipshine in Sunkissed. It was a Summer color about 2 years ago and I have bought everyone that I could find. I am now down to my last tube and it will be gone very, very soon. I can't find anything else I like as well. Everything is too pink on me...even the new Bobbi Brown brown lipstick I had in my pocket at Wrapper's Delight. So sad.
2. I also return most of my purchases from Anthropologie. I love to walk in that store. It has to be one of the most inspiring stores ever. I will always remember the first one in SOHO so many years ago. I want to wear those big heavy sweaters....it's just not practical in Alabama! I came VERY close to buying a journal from 1940something for $14 the other day! I probably can find it in a thrift store for $1.00...Hello!
3. I love Facebook...I feel like a stalker, but it's ok, because everyone else is, too!
4. I, like my friend, Virginia, do not like blinds. She pulls hers up every morning. I do not have ANY! No blinds on any window in my house.......let the light shine in!
5. I need to go to the beach......It's been almost 6 weeks!
6. one more???? I am going to Fred Astaire Dance Studio next Thursday night! Anyone want to join me?
Maybe this was more of a take off of someone else's randomness.....that's pretty random.
I am supposed to tag other people......Ashlee, Mindy, Misty, and Carol

Tooth Fairy come see us!
John Connor lost his first tooth tonight! No more cute baby tooth smile. It will be all crazy from now until braces! I have to admit he looks adorable! It has been loose for several days and Connor has tried to pull it every night. JC was so afraid that it would hurt! He can't quit talking about it. Emma keeps telling him he needs to write a note to the tooth fairy? Not sure where she got this. I don't think we've ever written to the tooth fairy before. He has 100 questions about how it works! So cute and innocent. Cross your fingers that the tooth fairy doesn't forget to come!!!

Emma's 9th birthday!!
Wow, I have a 9 year old! yikes......She is so big. She really gets prettier and prettier everyday! Her cute freckles, blue eyes, and she is getting so tall. She really is getting a little more responsible. haha....a little! I can see her thinking about things. It's pretty cool!
She got her ears pierced! Wow, that is big. She has been asking for a long time. Maybe since she was 5 or 6? I never really thought it would get here. She was a little scared. She thought the lady was piercing when she was just marking the place. She didn't even know what happened when she finally did the first one! Her mouth dropped wide open and she, ever so quietly, said, "ow". It was so cute. So, then she was a little scared to get the second one, but hung in there and has the most adorable little pink flowers in her ears! I always told her she had to be old enough to take care of them herself. She has been so good at it! She is always cleaning them and twisting them! I think it's going to work out! I guess this means earrings are on the list for Christmas!
We had her party at Scrap ETC.
I think all the girls enjoyed it. They each got to make a mini 
album to take home and a bracelet. We had cupcakes and opened presents and then we went outside and screamed and ran around for a few minutes while we were waiting on Mom's to come back for pick up. It was lots of fun. I'm glad she likes hanging out at the store! We are probably going to be doing a lot of that in the next months!
We had a great time on Halloween.
The Haunted trail was really fun. I can't believe how good it was. The kids really did a great job. Next year they should charge! They love it so much! Emma and I were ghosts that guided everyone through. I got a little spooked a couple of times! It was funny. The boys were all changing up their positions to scare us. Ms. Bobbie was hilarious! She was a waitress and had a little kitchen. She was rude and obnoxious and cracked everyone up! I think she was the best part. Not too scary, but had her part down!
Can't wait for next year!
