Random Thoughts

This post is just a bunch of jumbled thoughts, so beware!

* I have really got to get back in the blogging mood. I have just been in a "blah" state of mind, so that makes it kinda hard to think of creative/interesting blog material. I will try my best to get back in the groove of things soon.

* I love my husband. He bought a dozen roses for me last Friday...for no reason. He is the best!

* I am excited about my theme in Junior Church this month. We are visiting the land of Narnia! We are listening to Focus on the Family's Radio Theatre version of "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe." The kids are loving it so far. They hate for me to stop the CD. (To be honest, I hate to stop the CD myself, I love the Chronicles of Narnia!) I am trying to teach them the lessons within the story. I have the Junior Church room decorated like winter. I will take some pictures this weekend and post them for you to see. Some of the parents have told me that their kids tell them about the story during the week and really look forward to hearing more of the story each Sunday. That makes me feel good inside. One of the girls told me Sunday that the room was beautiful, which made my day.

* Speaking of Junior Church, I am really looking forward to Bus and Outreach Convention this year. It is March 1 - 3, in case you were wondering. I think I am going to take off work in order to be in all the Wednesday sessions. I always enjoy getting new ideas and supplies. Perhaps I will see some of you there as well.


* I finally bought an address book for Carl and I. We have been needing one since we got married. We were having to go through our guest book from the wedding to find addresses, or try to find the addresses online. Last night, I started listing addresses of family and friends. I think it is a pretty address book, don't you?

* Tomorrow, Thursday, is our monthly Ladies Night at church. I am in charge of the craft for the night. I am teaching the women how to make the coasters I made at Christmas. It is super easy. Hopefully, everyone thinks so tomorrow night. It should be fun. 

Well, I guess I found some things to blog about after all. Look for more posts soon.

Candle Giveaway!

Image
Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.
