I have no excuse....

Well, I kind of have an excuse...I have not been blogging because I recently got bit by the sewing bug. I know, I know - can you spell DOMESTIC??? P - O -L - L - Y!

I will post pics soon of my masterpieces. You can probably already guess that they are inspired by the cutest set of twins I've ever met. Mom and I have signed up for a craft fair (and we hope to add another to our repertoire if all goes well this holiday season) and we have been crafting and sewing freaks lately!

For now, I will offer you my answers to an e-mail Bex sent my way last week (yes, I'm that far behind in my e-mail responses, too!)

A) Four places that I go to over and over: Life Choices Clinic, Jo-Ann Fabrics, Real Deals and Safeway

B) Four people who e-mail me (regularly): My mama, Bex, Ange, and Betty (my board chair)

C) Four of my favorite places to eat: Main St. Grille, Zany's, Southway Pizzaria and Arby's (yes, I grew up with the Finch family and my Happy Day VIP card!)

D) Four places I would rather be right now: Our timeshare(I'm going this weekend!), sleeping, my craft room or on a cruise ship going wherever it wants to go

E) Four people I think will respond: I believe my faithful followers on my blog include: Vix, Bex, Ange and, well, I really don't know if I have any other people who read it frequently...perhaps if I would WRITE more frequently I'd have a better following! :) This was originally designed to meet the needs of all of my out-of-town friends/family who want to keep in the "know" - but, as you can see, only Vicky lives out of town and everyone else is within a 10 minute drive.

F) Four TV shows you watch: Paula Dean, Oprah when it's a good one, and basically anything on DIY or HGTV or FOOD Network (seriously??? did you ever think in a million years that I would be this domestic????? ME NEITHER!)

Special thanks to a few of my Amiga/os:

Bex - thanks so much for the bow party! It was a blast to have so many women over to my new digs and see people partake in the bow-fever! I'm excited to use my HUGE bow credit earned by having my bow party. I can put bows in many girls' hair with almost $50! I'm also excited to be your neighbor at the craft fairs!

Ange M. - You are a total star for helping me out so much with my need for professionalism at the Life Choices Clinic! Your design-savvy and your heart to donate your time and talents is amazing. Thanks for the photos of me to use on future pubs and finding us stellar deals on printing!

Sheldon - (not even sure if you read my blog, or for that matter, know about my blog, but in the case you do...) thanks for your diligent work in getting some organization set up at the Clinic. Your willingness to serve with me there is an enormous blessing to your wife and I hope you know how much I appreciate you.

Okay, enough sappiness for one post...I'll be back sooner than later this time - I promise!

Ahhh...you put that picture of you on here....so cute. I love your hair color by the way...
And as far as my life slowing down- there's a light at the end of the tunnel and I can see it! A few more weeks I think and I'll be cleared up! I'm excited to get my hands on your guy's site.

I love your new photo! I agree with Ange that your hair color look really WOW! It's good to hear from you again. I thought you rolled off the edge of the earth again. :0)

Becky said...

yay...a new post!

and thank you right back for hosting my first show and a darn good one too. None of the others hold a candle to yours so far in terms of sales :)

Glad you are getting such great help with everything at the clinic...that is wonderful. Sounds like Ange will hook you up in terms of website....I won't even tell you how much I am spending on mine ....ugh!

Vicky said...

Ah, website design. Mark just took his first paying job (side job) for website design. He's created three other websites, but he had complete design control over all of them. This is the first one that he has to do exactly what the client wants and change everything the client doesn't like. He's not liking it very much at this point. And he has spent a MASSIVE number of hours on it!!! He has decided that this particular project has not been worth the hundreds and hundreds he's getting paid for it.

I love the photo and new hair color!

And I really need to take your recommendation to get our fam into see Ange for a photo session. Unfortunately, I'm waiting for the merry-go-round to slow down and it's not happening.

Might you have time for a Lewiston Lunch in November, before the 21st?

Hugs from Genesee :)

Polly: I found your blog through Beckys. I heard you are sewing and I can't wait to see your items. Good luck at the craft show this weekend.
