I told Him I loved Him back. Even did a little Praise Dance outside! It was only for the Lord! smile! I thanked Him for the vacation..............it was a gift from Him! I am sooooo very grateful! Wish all that have to work outside the Home could have a vacation with me also. I will be praying for you today!
Good Morning Sweet Ladies!
I am home sewing away this morning....first day of VACATION.........we will go to the fencing site later this morning...........so I am very busy getting things ready for the day............going to be packing orders...... so they can be sent out. Walked around the farm to check on the girls and guys! The ducks are quacking away and the chickens are very very happy........that Momma's Home! I am so blessed. I was just PRAISIN my God and Thanking Him for the job He gave our family.
This last week in the kitchen...........we were soooooo busy baking away. Lots of bread made up for gifts for faculty and fellow employees. One even went to the President at the college. It kept the girls and I movin for sure. It was fun to gift wrap the breads though........ not exactly like I would at HOME....... but I made some fast tags the night before. Used this really neat kraft sheets.........(Chef Q let me buy a box).........tied the tags on with a string.......and they looked really sweet!
Look at what I found in the college walk in fridge!!!!! I couldn't believe it. P written on every egg! Hmmmmmmm.......love those girly chickens! They wanted to make my day.......they did!
Today is one of those days I am just a little on the giddy side ..........can hardly contain the joy that is going on in this head! My girls think I am a little strange. I said.......you don't think they will think this is funny? They said if they are like you? That is not very nice...... tell me if you like! They do love me LOTS! Okay the face is not real.............just in case you thought those chickens were up to something else.........but the little button nose(?)..............that Momma chicken did that allllllll by herself.........just for me........and now you! Love it.........hope this makes you smile.
I am lovin this day already. I cleanned out our closet and bedroom last night............that felt wonderful. Going to decorate the top canopy of our little log frame around the top of the canopy on our bed for Christmas. My granddaughter is coming to stay with, for 2 nights she always turns the lights on and gets the bed turned before I come in (special little girl of 12). That means Poppa sleeps on the couch and the grandson sleeps on the floor next. They will talk and make memories.........Ellie and I will do the same. We have been doing that since she was a baby.............love being a Grammie..........just as nice as being a Momma. I love both!
We will read The Nativity ........getting our hearts ready for CHRISTmas.......... The book has pictures of the movie and scripture......together........I am so visual.
....... and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Luke 2:7
Mary wrapped the first present (JESUS).
You know???? ...........I think we need a little party! The giveaway will be the book The Nativity Story. We will draw on Friday, Dec. 17th. It is a beautiful book!

ReplyDeleteHey Momma Stubbs-
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your vacation. I am looking forward to Christmas break from school. Mine will be extended with maternity leave! I am looking forward to that! Not only the time off but the new little one of course! :) Just waiting for baby to come!
I love to read your blog and keep up on what is going on in your life. Also, I am encouraged when I read your blog. :) I look forward to seeing what you have written each day.

Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway. I have not seen nor heard of this book. Would be lovely to share with my granddaughter.
I love when you write about what God is doing or has done in your life. We are supposed to praise Him and it is a blessing when we share it with others. I am always encouraged by your words.
I also enjoy your crafts and seeing what is new.

ReplyDeleteOh, Linda~
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you get to spend some time at home! It makes me a little sad that you can't stay at home all the time, but it is so good that you all have a job together! That is truly a gift!
I have never seen the Nativity Story movie or read the book. That would be a wonderful prize to win!
I love all the stories of your farm, and the animals, and the great crafts... I love everything about Prairie Flower Farm!
Especially your sweet spirit!

Well......thank so for coming and celebrating with!

ReplyDeleteSue
I'm a delighted follower! Thanks for the opportunity! My girls would love this book!
ReplyDeleteWhat I enjoy best about your blog is your encouragement and Love for God and his word. It just pours out of your posts whatever they be about. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the recipes, crafting, and farm updates but it's the love of Christ that attracted me initially to your blog.
ReplyDeleteEveryday when I open my email I first look to see where your post is. I know that when I open it it is as close as I can get to walking in the backdoor as I did while there going to college. there are days that I miss being able to do that! My favoirte thing is the pictures, no matter what they are. love ya,
ReplyDeleteKitty

Linda, I can honestly say my favorite thing about visiting your blog is your sweet spirit and knowing it is Jesus sweet Spirit in you. We love the same things...crafting, chickens, aprons, giving new life to things others pitch in the garbage...and so much more. I wish you the happiest of vacations and the merriest of Christmas'. In Christ's love...

I can't think of a favorite thing. I love everything about the farm! But, if I have to pick I guess it would be the animals.

First of all I love to see your header then all the other pictures, then I read the post and finally your footer is really cute now for Christmas. I think the smile egg is adorable. I've seen little bumps on eggs before but I've never thought about making a picture out of it. Just proves how creative you really are.
ReplyDeleteI'm following, and wishing you and your family a blessed vacation and Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI am a subscriber and look forward to your posts.

Hello, dear friend! Of course, I just love YOU, but I also love your crafts, and when I read your blog, I think someday I will get excited to do all the farm chores by myself...I just don't know about that. I dearly love my workers :)

Hi ladies.....as you know so much has happened in the last few days. Vitaliy has come into our lives and taken over our hearts!!!!!!! God is the giver of gifts...........He gave us Jesus.......I am so thankful He did........praying our little orphan boy will want the gift this CHRISTmas.......pray with us please! Hugs, Linda
I so hope that God allows Vitaliy to stay with you family and I am praying for just that! May you and your family have a blessed Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGloria
Reading about Vitaliy, sounds so much like me Niece's situation. They brought Yuri here last summer & now again. They are trying to raise funds to adopt him. She went over there to all those countrys this summer with New Horizons. I am kind of dingy sometimes, most of the time actually. Was reading your post and couldn't remember if I posted or not about the party, so went back and read them. But I put all the things on one post, so this is the one to say I am a follower
ReplyDeleteI am a subscriber. Thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteI am so blessed by your blog it has been such a blessing and to hear about Vitaliy ---I am a follower and a scriber. Have a blessed vacation with your family. The LOVE you share is good ol "Christ Love" that is so awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteHello ladies..............thank you so much for coming and signing up for the giveaway party. I love you all and wish I could give a book to each of you!!!!!!! You make my days full of happiness!!!!!! I am the most blessed lady....because of YOU! Thank you for the sweetness! It helps me to know what to do on my blog.........I want to serve you in anyway that I can. I HEART YOU ALLLLLL! Love you, Linda
