fun plans

These itty bitty spools are part of the stitchalong kit that I'm working on. They're just so adorable I had to stop working to show you.

In a week I'll be with all these great friends...

Doesn't that look like fun? I can't wait. I need to finish some gifties and pack crafting supplies, etc. Meanwhile, the naptime clock is ticking away. Hope you're having a swell day.

the love dare

Rich and I watched the movie "Fireproof" last weekend. It was not a good movie in many ways*...the acting was obvious, the directing not good. And it wasn't enough that it starred my long ago heart-throb Kirk Cameron. Many times I felt like I was watching a film in health class...you know what I mean.

But the message was beautiful.

Maybe I will suggest skipping the movie altogether and just buying either this book or this one. I bought two copies of "day by day", one each for Rich and me, and I'm really so excited about this.

We have a strong marriage but after 13 years it's easy to take one another for granted, right? I think this challenge will grow our commitment and love for one another and strengthen our faith in God.

What do you say, do you want to give it a try? I dare you!

*I didn't realize when I wrote this that the actors, directors, etc. were all amateurs. Given this, my criticism is a bit harsh. Thanks Sherri for filling me in on the details!

whoops...

Can you guess what I'm working on?

It's a new stitchalong kit!

But I just found an error in how I set up the file for the itty bitty book. It's all wrong and I either have to scrap it all or figure out a way to salvage half. If I do that, I'll have to glue the front of this card to the back of that card...just thinking about it makes my eyes twitch. I'm half tempted to just fix it all and send it to the printer again set up correctly.

Oh well...the good news is that a new stitchalong kit is on its way.
