"I don't have a way to get a hold of you. Please email me."

I will be getting a hold of you all after I post this. Congratulations ladies and again thank you for all of you who entered. I know that all your comments were read by one another and probably some blog hopping was going on. That is one of my favorite things to do. I have so many blogs saved in my favorites. My girls cringe. It is so funny.

I know where you all are. Hee hee!

I will be doing a tutorial for this Flower Pin, which is on the top left hand

corner of the bag for free. That will go up this week sometime.

Okay, another thing. The Prairie Flower BookBag will be an e-pattern for $7.00 (had to change price to $7.50). If you are interested please leave a comment below with your email address or just email me. The pattern will be full of fun ideas and recipes. I will make it worth it for you to buy. Also, it doesn't have to be a Book Bag only. It could also be a kitting bag, craft bag, quilting bag, market bag, you name it. I will be working on the tutorial this week and it should be ready by the middle of next week. Pray things don't come up with my Dad. (smile)

ARE WE HAVING FUN YET? I had so wanted to have this all done for you today, but our parents come first, right?

Just a little note for who has been praying for our family and my Dad.

One more thing. Yesterday I had to go sign my Dad out of the hospital. The nursing home that my mom is in had room for him to come stay there. He has not been able to see my mom for probably about 3 years because he is on oxygen 24/7. My momma can't leave the home either. In the morning I had called the nursing home to find out what the arrangements were going to be as far as my dad coming and staying there until they can get him stronger. I also asked Teresa the head of nursing if they could make sure Momma looked sweet for my Dad. I walked in the door and Teresa said. We fixed your Momma up with pearls and a head band. Ha! Is that the sweetest thing you ever heard? My heart was dancing!!!!!!!! Just wanted to give you all a smile. On that note thank you all for praying for my family. You are the best!

GOD has blessed me so,

With You!
