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!

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.  ...

What do you collect?

Image
I am sure every person out there has some odd or crazy thing he or she collects. Especially when you travel...do you have a certain object you like to buy/find as a souvenir? Some collect those spoons with the location on the handle. Some like the shot glasses or keychains. Others may enjoy postcards or stamps. I am sure you can think of lots of things you could pick up when you are on vacation or visiting a new location. Me, I like to get these: For some crazy reason, I love to get these smashed pennies. They are usually pretty cheap, only 50 cents to a dollar each, and make a simple souvenir. I thought I had more of these, but maybe I gave some away. The ones here are from Texas, Arizona and Chicago. I look for these penny machines at all the tourist places. I think it's fun. May I also right here say that if you are traveling and come across one of these machines, think of me and get me one? If I may be so bold to ask for a souvenir... I would love to add to my collection!
