Blog hop #3

Do you set stitching goals for yourself and how do you plan them out? (Weekly, monthly, annually?) What are your current stitching goals (if you don’t mind sharing)?
In addition to setting goals for yourself, do you have a special reward that you reserve for when you reach a stitching goal?

I do make goals for myself.  I base them on what I HAVE to have done by a certain date, such as gifts, exchanges, RRs, etc.  After that, I stitch on what I want to stitch on.  I don't have special rewards for myself, although that may be a possibility in the future!

I'm back!!!

After months of dealing with a dying hard drive, I finally have my tower back!  So, I'm now all ready to get caught up and bring everyone back into our lives.  Stay tuned for all the stitching, art, and family news as well as all the Blog Hops that I've missed!

Happy Veterans' Day!

Here's to all the veterans in my life.  Those I know personally, those who came and went before me, those who have very simply given their time and their lives for our freedom. Thank you for making it possible for me to say what I want, to enjoy the freedoms that we have.  Without you, it would not be possible for me to homeschool my daughter, to choose to work and at the same time be able to go to school t get my teaching degree.  To go to the church of my choice and worship the God that I choose.  I can wear a burka, a sari, a dress, or jeans and a tshirt.  I can vote for who I want to represent me in government without fear of being imprisoned.  I wish I could give you more than a heartfelt Thank You from the bottom of my heart!

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

My Memories Giveaway!

 

I apologize for not having posted anything in so long.  Life has really been insane the last few months.  The insanity has created a mass of memories.  What should I do with all those memories?  Enter My Memories Digital Scrapbooking Software!

I was contacted by My Memories to take a look at their software and tell them what I thought of it.  Now, understand, I am not a scrapbooker.  I don't have time to mess with all that.  So, I was a little leary about using scrapbook software.  After playing with it for a few days, I've changed mymind. 
I LOVE THIS SOFTWARE!!!   It is awesome! 

My Memories online store has tons of scrapbooking page already made up for you.  They even have a lot of free ones that you can download!  Look at the album page I created in about 2 minutes for my nephew, Luke:

So, go to the store and look around.  They have some awesome album pages.  My favorite for Christmas pictures is Eskimo Kiss (no surprise to my family and friends since that is also the name of my favorite ice cream flavor at PJ's Ice Cream Shop in Manteno!)

 

Good luck everyone!!
