My Fall Wreath

Life has gotten out of control for me. I had a craft show for two weekends, plus helping hubby set up for the spook alley he always does at the school he teaches at. Here is a wreath I made but didn't get much notice at the shows so I put it on my door!!! Love how burlap sucks up the dye you dunk it in. Hopefully i will be able to photo my jewelry and get it posted in my etsy! Have a great rest of the week!!!

Fallow Field Farm craft show!!!

These are some of the pictures from the craft show I did in Lindon Utah! LOVED the show and ADORED the cute gal Marci who was in charge. 
We forgot our camera so these are from my daughters phone. Marci has such a cute yard and so many fun things to look at.I did a lot better than i thought I would too. The weather held for us and only sprinkled a few drops. I am so going again next year too. Thanx for a great time Marci!

Stand up

http://www.mormonmommyblogs.com/2011/09/stand-up-and-say-something.html#disqus_thread
I came across this on facebook and so totally agree. We do need to stand up for others and parents need to be tougher with their kids. What do you think?

I'm a Queen Flea!!!!
















Friday after getting to tend my little Squidgie, My daughter and I stopped at a local "Yard Sale" here in Payson Utah. I've been to it for a couple of years and it keeps getting better all the time. Awhile back a lady liked one of my necklaces on my Etsy shop (        http://www.etsy.com/listing/74350376/diet-coke-pendant-necklace  ). She signed her name as Flea-ology and I knew who she was by that name from her banner for her shows. I told her who I was and that we were almost neighbors. Friday I went ot introduce myself to her but she was gone on an errand. I did buy quite a few wonderful treasures and went home and commented on her page what a great show it was. She was also having a giveaway if you followed her on Facebook. I got to pick out a sheriffs badge and I was entered in the grand prize drawing for a crown. Well, I WON THE CROWN!!!! I was SO excited and scurried right down there Saturday morning, and told Paula who I was, gave her a Diet Coke necklace I had made and we got pictures taken. I fell so in love with all the ladies in charge of this great sale and felt i finally found people I can relate to. Follow her on Facebook, under flea.o.logy and find out when her shows are. They are so worth it!!!! I ended up buying more stuff!!!

Where did everyones Manners Go?


Have you noticed how many people have forgotten or don't use any manners? It is making me crazy! No PLEASE, THANK YOU, EXCUSE ME... etc. Standing in an isle at a store, looking at a product, a person steps in front of you or stands in front of you and doesn't even acknowledge you let alone says excuse me. Kids have no respect for people or their property, toilet habits send me over the edge screaming, and driving has gotten more rude and ME ME ME only. We lived in Okinawa Japan for a year and I LOVED how they taught their children manners, respect and honor from the time the child is tiny. Parks were kept pristine, everyone cheered for each other, Eating habits were very proper, drivers let you into traffic and you responded back with a quick honk and tipping your head to say thank you. We never worried about things being stolen or anyone hurting us when we were among the Japanese, but on the American military bases we did. The children were the custodians at the schools and were also in charge of taking care of the younger students and teaching them how to get along. If we could afford it, we would definitely move back and retire there. But it would be great if America started teaching their kids these things. Now I will step off my soap box!

I LOVE.......


I do love my lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  Today in church, we had a speaker talk of his son. He told of how the son had been badly burned, accidentally, and how they had to care for him, scrubbing away the dead flesh and the pain this boy was in. How his son pleaded with him to let him die so he would be pain free. The father said how he admired his son's strength in dealing with this pain, and how those who knew this boy grew so much from the acts of charity and their prayers for this boy and his family. Then he told of a neighbor who rarely went to church, how he didn't think he needed to rely on the Lord. His son was accidentally shot the other day and this boy's father knew he needed to step up and be the leader of this family. In a special prayer for this boy, the man was asked to say this prayer, and it was revealed to this man, that this boy chose, in the pre-mortal existence, to let this accident happen, to help those around him grow and be blessed by the Lord. I immediately thought of Nie-Nie, or Stephanie Nielson, and her accident in a plane crash. (Her button is to the right of this blog) She, and her husband are still going thru pain and recovery from the crash, and this has really  affected her family, friends and now so many more people. But she is always showing us her trials but also how the Lord is helping her thru this and she is showing us how to look up and look for the good. It IS by our faith that the Lord blesses us but we have to always be asking for His help. I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for His great love for us and all that we learn from Him. Open your hearts, pray specifically and wait for His love to be poured out on you.  My love and prayers to anyone who does still read my blog.

Sweet story!

Click here and read a sweet story! I hope it works for you!

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.  She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her.  I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:
Dear God,Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.Love, MeredithWe put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office.A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet.  I told her that I thought He had.Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, ‘To Meredith’ in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, ‘When a Pet Dies.’Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:Dear Meredith,Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away.Abbey isn’t sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog.Since we don’t need our bodies in heaven, I don’t have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by. Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I’m easy to find, I am wherever there is love.Love,God…
