Thank You For Your Patience

Hello Ladies......

First of all I want to give you a "BIG" thank you for all you have done for me these past couple of months as all of you may know I had hosted my first ever Hello Kitty Swap. Most of the ladies that participated came through with the swap some did not, but it was ok I have the best angel swapper ever my baby girl Nataleigh who has been of great help in this swap :). The swap was due April 29th 2011 and I stopped receiving packages @ the beginning of June.
At this time my family and I encounter a very difficult time in our lives which is the hardest thing we have been through as a family. Faith has kept us going through this horrific time, and I know the Lord has NOT left our side at all. It has been very difficult for all of us and at this time we have just been getting the strength to go on and continue our lives as we have been destined to do. It's not easy but we can do all things through God who gives us strength.
Due to this I did not have time to send out the packages from the swap and most of the ladies thought I was not going through with it it saddens me to think that some of you thought I was keeping your items. First of all I will never do that it is not of my character and those that sent me ugly and hurtful messages I can tell you that I completely understand your point of view, but I do hope that you understand mine as well. Everything is good on my side and I forgive your harsh words and wrongful thinking. I hope you can find in your heart to forgive me for not sending your swap earlier. For my friends that joined the swap and know me very well thank you for believing in me and for encouraging during this difficult time. I love you guys and you know who you are! Thank You.
This is to inform you that all packages are ready to be shipped out and you will hopefully receive them by the end of this week. I will send all packages with a delivery confirmation number. I will contact each person with their number as soon as I have it. Please feel free to leave me comments below and thank you so much for your patience and participation. I appreciate you!

God Bless You!

Hello Kitty Tag Swap Group #4

Hi there ladies :)

Hope everyone is having such an amazing time creating. As for me between family ties, travel, home construction, school, and homeschooling Nataleigh things have been pretty crazed! Other than that creating has not been one of my top things lately :( Not because I don't want to it's just that my home's construction has me going crazy.... lol but I know things will get better here soon and hey, the Lord will not give me something I can not handle He's just making me stronger.

I do want to share that I am still waiting on several packages from the Hello Kitty swap for both the tags and the pages. For updated info on your groups please check back on here I usually update the day I receive the packages or latest the day after. I do want to share with all of you the tags for group #4 here is the YouTube video for the tags hope you will like them I absolutely adore them and I do want to take this time once again to thank you for participating in the swap it really means so much Thank You!!! For the ladies that have sent me extras there was no need to do so, but I do honestly appreciate your kindness and I want to say Thank You it means more than you will ever know :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and watching the video and for the ladies that participated thank you so so so much. Seriously I can not wait to share with all of you the rest of the tags they are absolutely beautiful.
Hope you will have such a great Friday :)

Lord Bless,

Just a lil' Share

Since, Johnny had a date with the girls on Friday I decided my date with them would be on Saturday :)
after some girl shopping and a quick stop at Michael's for some crafty goodness;  we ended up swinging by the Christian Book Store. My girls love going in there and just picking up either the latest Christian music or a few books hat catch their eye. Jeanelle picked up several books, one of them which was God's Girl and Nataleigh picked up a few of her own. Some devotionals for girls as well as a knock knock joke one lol.... she's toooo cute and had us laughing all the way home!!!! I purchased some up for my hubby as well  A Father's Almanac Devotional book and another one which I know he would be blessed to read!!!! Last but not least I had been wanting to pick up a copy of Bringing Up Girls a book by Dr. James Dobson from Focus On The Family. I had been wanting to get my hands on a copy for a few months and until yesterday I was blessed to have found it! Finally, I have the so waited book in my hands and have just left of on half of chapter 4. I am so blessed to own a copy of this magnificent and well written book I am impressed to want to read it after listening to a talk show on it and of coarse I have two gorgeous girls and what best than to read it and get advise from this great man of God.  Especially in this society where girls are in such a struggle and in a hurry to want to grow up so fast!!!! Will definitely let you know what I thought about it later on so far so good and all I can say is thank you Lord for our beautiful Girls that we are bringing up.
Hugs Everyone Alee'

What a beautiful hoop...I had never seen one made, sure interested in making one now, probably for my neieces so they can hang up on their wall... As for your question, well I always try to buy stuff on sale or with a coupon, and definately the awesome sales after the holidays...TeeHee But, one thing I do for Eater, every year, (semi-embarassed) but I save the plastic eggs...there I said it, Haa Haa Those darn things are so convenient to have for the candies and stuff, but its such a shame when they just get thorwn away once the goodies are out...So I go around and collect them and next year, I whip them out again...kids don't care--as long as they get their candy, they don't care about the container, and the fact that they've probably pick it two or three years in a row...TeeHee Oops, surper long...well gotta go to the next beautiful ladie....bye. Peace, Norma CONGRATS Norma please contact me with your addy so I can Ship this out to you :) Hugs Alee'
