hello to all who read...
i am noticing that it is not just family visiting now- can't be since there have been over 200 visits since the slideshow went up...how fun! i love that blogs are a fantastic way to know a little more, share a little more, and hopefully minister a little more.
i praise God for today...we had a pajama day until after nap and had a ball, doing our letter project, play dough of course, lots of pancakes, tons of toys everywhere, and a little bit of cleaning...my kids had a blast and i am so grateful for that...

the new gallery was being worked on today by our super IT guy, matt...thanks matt!! he is so patient with my requests and very creative on his own...we have to move some things around, lengthen the song, reduce the duplicates, but a great start....so much fun to see my God-inspired visions for the season play out...i.e. the blessed picture (thought of appliques and idea for picture close to four months ago)...what a treat to see it show up in the gallery. i really think that this little scenario plays out for almost everyone, something that you wish or dream up...let me explain...

i have so many friends that say..."i wish" or "i would love it.."- well...love it enough to make it happen, ask enough questions to make it close to a reality and then do it anyway...ask someone close to you that loves you to help...pray for God's will and enjoy doing it...i have friends that have a photography company on their mind, paper maybe, or just a change...so think about your idea and take steps to do it...the point of it all is to give God the glory all along the way. everything is for God's glory...
so whatever it is...if it is a red/blue longall..on a red chair...mmm you get the point..
speaking of pictures...something funny about the photoshoot...we had all of the kids here at my house for this one... the least stressful yet for sure- thanks Summer!! Caprisuns flying, bug spray, LOTS of pez candy (because it doesn't drip), and promises of fun dinners or desserts...my dear husband was here to help holding ladders etc...hilarious that he was more worried about the grass behind our front wall than the kids that were perched on the very edge...just like a man right? in his defense he would have beat us all there to catch them...but funny nonetheless
editing the pictures was the same way- clone tool for sure was something he was very interested in...if there was any brown spot it is now VERY green in every picture...once again so much fun (thanks dear husband) and i hope you enjoy hearing about our funnies.

since the deadline of july 7th (day the sample sets ship) approaches i am more aware of time and how short it will be...i am praying for all of our efforts to come together, clothes to fit and ship time to be short. my prayers are soon to be for all of the girls who will view the clothes...may everyone that comes to buy clothes or just look consider where their relationship with Christ is today...

i hope all of your will enjoy what is planned for each of your little ones this season...blessings until next time!
