It's been awhile.....

Hi all! Sorry it's been so long. To much is happening right now for me to blog. Between field trips, regular school work, 4-h and Christmas rehearsal.... I'm beat!

We were so slow and relaxed this summer that it all has taken me by surprise. I actually have thought about giving up blogging during this season.

Today, I moved my pray and praise chair back into our bedroom. It's been out since Feb. because it doesn't match with the room and takes up space while trying to sell the house.
Can I say it has thrown me for a loop! I NEED my little quiet space. So if someone wants our house they're gonna have to handle my black leather guy chair!!!

I also went through my Christmas present stash and reorganized so that I don't over buy. I won't over spend because we have a set budget. I'm hoping to squeak a new computer or camera out of it!

I also went through our DVDs and purged! I purged before our garage sale a couple of weeks ago, but seeing the garage empty makes me need to clear out again!

We're studying Romans 12:9-15 and Philippians 3:12-16. VERY GOOD!

I plan to be back soon!

You have been missed! I totally relate to the needing to organize feeling, we are doing the same here. I am feeling suffocated by all the "stuff"! Hang in there, life will get a little less crazy soon.

It's good to see you back again and glad you were away because you were busy and not sick.
We all have busy times and you should never feel pressured to perform-or in this case, post. Rest assured that your readers will be happy when you do post and understand when you are busy with life and cannot.
Enjoy this autumn season-

I like your garage sale comment, it being empty makes you want ot clear out again. I just had the SAME thought after my garage sale! That is crazy thinking!

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th

Nitrate Free Pepperoni

I'm not sure if I should show you the picture or not. I tweaked a recipe from Tammy's Recipes and it is quite tasty. BUT (and it's kind of a big BUT) the color is just not right. So the pepperoni looks a little grey (gross) but again taste SUPER! So here goes nothing.... nitrate free pepperoni See how gray it looks? That's because I used Real Salt (sea salt) instead of curring salts which have all the nitrates and fake pink color (they do this so people won't mistake it for table salt). That pink dye also gives sausages of all types that nice color we are all so used too. All the flavor was still in there and I figured if I'm making this homemade I want it to be as healthy as possible for my family. So why would I add the nitrates? Because I didn't use the pink salt I can't just leave this out in my pantry like you could with some of the store bought stuff. If you do to try this recipe and decide to go "all natural" please make sure that you

Zeee Transformation!

It's Frugal Friday again! I really enjoy everyone's offerings. Please share your comments and head over to Biblicalwomanhood.com for more great tips. I have it listed in Friends and Interest for your convienece. Have a great weekend and enjoy! I've been anxious to get these up here! This was one of Superman's and my summer projects. We finished just in time for our littlest chickadee's birthday and for use while I'm schooling the rest of the brood. Here's what I found at a local thrift store.... The stove had a sad laminate door on it that someone else had used to repair it. I sanded down both the fridge and stove. I also traced the stove top. Then Superman took over. He did more sanding, replaced the door with scrap wood and cut out a window. So that she can see what's baking. After that it was time to paint! I really wanted red because (for now) it's in my kitchen and it looks great with the other colors in there. Quite Spicy! And I found it in th
