Post #300... A Post of Thanks!!!

*********Thank you to the two ladies that participated.  Congratulations to Angie!!!!!!!  And Nabila I need your address as well, I have a little something for you to!!!  Love you ladies!


]Here is a picture of the pouch I made the other day!  I had loads of fun making this and plan to make several more and put them up in my shop!  This one contains all my Scentsy mini testers...

I've been wondering all day what I would post about.  Did I have something monumental I wanted to share?  Would I share what my family and I have been up to?  What about what God is doing in our lives?  Well, I contemplated over and over and finally just sorta gave up the thought.  Suddenly I knew exactly what I would post about.  Today's post is full of Thanks for those that mean so much to me or have inspired me in some way.

So without further ado, Let's begin...

I've met some awesome and wonderful people via this thing we call the World Wide Web.  I've met some friends that have become life long friends, more so than some of the people I know in person...there are a few exceptions of course.

Kelly, she has truly become a dear sister to me in my life.  She lives not far from us and we see them as often as we can, she has a heart and passion for her family.  11 arrows make up their clan and this family shines forth with the love of Christ.  She has prayed me through some very rough times.  I'm forever grateful for our friendship.

This could be said for the next few ladies as well.  Angie is a jewel.  I met her when we were both part of a tubal reversal group many years ago.  She has been a delight and her family has become my family.  She too has prayed me through some dark times.  Sandra another jewel.  She has inspired me in countless ways.  I admire her hunger and thirst for God and her family.  I anxiously await the day we will get to meet in person.  The first time I ever spoke to either of these ladies, I knew in my heart that we were kindred spirits and God had a purpose for bringing us together!!!  I still feel that way. Love you both!

Then there is L.  She is an amazing woman that has a fight within her beyond my understanding.  She inspires me to step out on my faith day after day.  I also can't forget Diane, Lady Kara, and Nabila....these women make me want to live such elegant yet content lives.  They inspire me to be ME!!!  

I love y'all to pieces!!!!  Thank you for being YOU!!!

Now the next few people I will mention, I've never met or talked to, but they inspire my creativity.  I've watched EVERY video they've ever posted, Read EVERY blog post they've written, and gone to their websites countless times.  I pray that as you check out their sites, you too will be inspired in some creative way!!!

Vanessa amazes me with her talents.  You can check out her youtube channel here, her blog here, and her website here.

Missouri Star Quilt Company....I've learned countless techniques and I love their shop (wish I could shop there more often, but you know how it goes).

And then Pat inspired me to just step out there and try free motion quilting and I did.  And guess what????  I loved it.  I'm just getting started, but oh the places I could go.  Oh wait, this isn't Dr. Seuss!!! HA HA  She has inspired me to at least try.  

I pray you will stop by their sites and take a look for yourself.  You won't be disappointed with any of the above mentioned blogs, shops, and so forth.  

Check out my amazing friends as well.  Ummmmmmm, I just don't know if I want to share them though! LOL!!!!  You will find that they are awesome just as I do.  

And I suppose you've been waiting for me to get to the give-away???!!!  Well, not to disappoint you, scroll down a bit further.  Go ahead...

I want to bless someone with this nursing cover up.  It's in browns and blues.  It has a nice size pocket for binkies and keys.  I made this one with a little extra fabric because it just seemed more modest.  You could win this for yourself or a gift for someone else.  And if you keep looking further down, you will see an adorable wipe case that has been decorated so cute and all.  I don't have this specific one, but if you look to the right and look at that fabric, I will decorate one using that print and embellish it with a monogram for that special babe.  These would make delightful gifts.

Ok, so how can you win this?  Well, if you will host a Scentsy basket party with me gets you an entry.  Commenting on this blog post gets you another entry, then if you will post about this giveaway on your blog, that qualifies you for 2 more entries.  Now each time you do one of these things, you must come back and let me know and by Friday, March 25th, I will announce a blessed winner!!!!

Ready?  Set??  GO!!!!!!!

I'm officially open for business!!!!  My Scentsy site is up and running.  I'm totally excited and nervous all at the same time, if that makes any sense!!!!!

So here is what I would like you, my readers, to do.  Go here or email me and let's set up a Scentsy Party for you.  Now, my out of town friends and those that don't want to host a party in their homes, I have a solution for you as well.... a basket party!!!!  I've ordered enough Scentsy scents to send to you and you have your own basket party amongst your local friends and afterwards, you just send the scents back to me (I'll handle postage).  Let's get you some free products right away!!!!


In the next couple of weeks I'll also be cranking out some baby gift items with my new embroidery machine!!!!  I'll be working on my online shop and you and others can go to the site and order items!!!

I'm excited and anxious to see what the Lord will do with these two ventures!

Something New Is Brewing!!!!

In just a couple of weeks, I will become a Scentsy Independent Consultant!!!!  I'm beyond excited.  I've done several direct sales things over the last 15 years and there has only been one other one that had me as excited about this one, that was Pampered Chef.  I completely enjoyed Pampered Chef, not because I enjoy cooking, but because I enjoy baking and I have this thing for kitchen gadgets.  I earned money and had loads of fun doing it.  For those that know me well, they know I have this delight in scented candles too.  I totally enjoy walking in my home to the sweet smell of a lovely scented candle.  I totally hate those plugin things you buy at the store.  Their scents can be a bit overwhelming to my nose, but a candle is just kinda mellow to me and I enjoy them.
One day when the Lord blesses me with my debt free home, I plan to have those lanterns you see in the sporting goods section (most people take them camping with them), mounted on my walls throughout the entire home.  There is just something about seeing the flicker of a candle in the home that makes it all cozy.  I won't need scented candles though, I'll have Scentsy warmers plugged in various places throughout the home with lovely scents wafting through the home.

OK, OK, in the meantime, I'm gonna be selling said lovely warmers and I can hardly wait.

Soooooooooooooooooooooo, if any of you are interested in hosting a Scentsy party or a Scentsy basket party (for those that don't live near me for me to get to your house), please, please, please, don't hesitate to let me know.  I'd be delighted to have you as a hostess and eager to help you earn some free stuff too!!!!

*If you click on the words Scentsy throughout my post, each will take you to a different area on the Scentsy site for you to check out.  Keep in mind that in about 2 weeks, I will have my very own site for you to click on!!!!
