Prayers for my family please

Hello,
Well, we had some bad news yesterday. They lost the baby!!! My son is so broken hearted. He is out in El Paso, Texas with no family close by. My heart is breaking for him. I can only pray for him and urge him to come home. He is not a little boy anymore and I have to let him make his own decisions. But, this Mama is hurting. I feel better when I know that my kids are good. I have not had a good week health wise myself and it is going to cost more money than I had planned on spending on it. It is always something. Somedays, I just want to give up. But, I know that it will get better some day. Please keep our family in your prayers.
Hugs,
Lynn

great blog giveaway

Hi friends,
I have been MIA this week. I have gotten a summer cold,a stomach flu, or something. I have missed out on getting anything done this week. This old girl has been one sick puppy. I went to the dr this morning and got some new medicine so hopefully I will feel better soon. I have appts next Mon and Tues to see what is going on with my back now, so please keep me in your prayers. Without going into a lot of details, I am asking for prayers for my son, Eric. Thank you so much because I know that my online friends will send up some prayers for Eric.

Denise does an awesome job on her creations. So please enter and tell her that Lynn sent you. The giveaway ends on 9/1/11.

I have packages to mail and pictures to take of surprises that arrived in the mail. I will post those soon.
Linda from Parker's Paradise sent me an amazing surprise package. It arrived on Monday. I have not felt like doing anything this week so all my goodies are waiting to find the perfect spot to put them.

I also wanted to thank Michelle from Grannies Pantry for the lovely and amazing penny rug and the two candle mats that she sent me. We are doing a swap together and I have a box of patriotic themed goodies to send her. The box is all ready to go. Just waiting on this ole girl to feel like driving to the po to mail it. I am hoping to get that done this weekend. If not it will be postal by Monday for sure.

I found a blog with a tutioral on how to make salt dough ornies and cinnamon salt dough ornies so I am hoping to feel like doing that next weekend.

We live in Catawba County in North Carolina. We have the pleasure of having Hart's Square in our area. A local Dr. started the village years ago. He finds old cabins and houses, purchased them, dismantles them and then rebuild them on his property. Every October, they have a date that you can buy tickets and go spend the day. Oh, my girls, you would all be in heaven. It is a 200 acre 1840's village with two churches, a bridge, and a beautiful bridge. You can read about it here:

Last year I was on the phone for over 2 hours before I could purchase our tickets. We try to go every year. It is just so much fun and he has the houses and cabins filled with furnishings, dishes, clothes, and bedding from that time too. There is a jail, Dr.'s office, a jail, and all kinds of stuff. If you can come for the day, please do and let me know. I would love to meet some of my online friends.


ok, time to go lay down. Please remember me and my son in your prayers.

Lynn

Winnings, swap goodies, and purchases.

Hi friends,
Here is the awesome swap package I got from Angie of Just a Lil Raggedy..
I love everything that she sent me. I swapped some new stamp sets from Stampin Up, distress ink pads by Tim Holtz, glimmer mist by Tattered Angels, and some other scrapbooking goodies. But, Angie spoilt me!! I love the wrapping on every little item. She even sent me some salt dough ornies, stars in red, white, and blue. I am an Americana nut. I still have lots of scrapbooking and stamping items for trade if anyone wants too.

Next, I won the give away from the last week of the Christmas in July giveaway over at Samantha's Accessories. I won the Santa Bucket filled with tarts and room sprays. Oh my gosh, I could smell the goodies in the box LOL.



Next, I order some little pumpkins from Black Creek Primitives. They are soo cute and she gifted me a half a dozen of these cute little pumpkins. Can't wait till 9/1/2011 when I can decorate for fall.


I also received the goodies that I bought from Traci of York Moutain Primitives when she had her blog yard sale. Thanks for all the cute goodies at great prices.


Okay, I am off to clean the house and put up my new goodies on display. Some will have to wait till next month. I went to the dr yesterday for my back again. I have a MRI next Tues and then see the Dr again the next week. I am also waiting to hear back from my insurance to see if they will approve the nerve block stimulator for my lower back pain and the nerve damage in my right leg. Keep me in your prayers.
Hugs,
Lynn

We have had the best news!!

OMG!! I am going to be a NANA!!!! My son called last night and informed me that he is going to be a DADDY!!! He has been in the Army and was stationed at Ft. Bliss in Texas. He has just gotten out of the Army (Thank God, I did not want him to get deployed again), and his girl friend let him know that the pregnancy test was positive!! I am so excited. They will be moving home to North Carolina in the next few weeks. We can not wait to find out if he is having a girl or a boy, so we can start the shopping. So, prim friends, if anyone makes baby quilts leave me a comment. I will be ordering some for the nursery. I will do a small nursery here so I can keep the baby while the kids work since I have had 5 back surgeries and find out tomorrow if another one is needed.


Ok, I have lots of scrapbook and stamping supplies for trade or swap. I also found out that I can make the old time silouttes with my cricut. It anyone would like one. Leave me a comment. I am making a few for me and will post pictures tomorrow. Maybe that will show you what I am talking about. I have an image for almost every holiday and occassion.

Looking forward to making new friends and making lots of swaps and trade for prim items and supplies.
Hugs,
Lynn
