I am jumping for joy

My daughter Aleishia and her drill team (flag twirlers in the marching band) tried out for the Fiesta Bowl Parade today.

They came in First Place with a Superior Rating!


They will be in the Fiesta Bowl Parade!
The parade is on December 31st, 2010.....
SO if you get a chance to watch the parade on T.V. I hope you enjoy her performance!!!

Look what I received

I received this beautiful ornament from a FaceBook group.... Secret Santa 2010.
It is so beautiful.... Thank you Kitty!

Long awaited update to Jesus Wept

I had not realized how many people are watching my progress on Jesus Wept.
I thank you all for following this and keeping me on my toes.
I so cannot wait to see this one finished as it means so much to me.
You all help with the motivation that is needed to keep going and I appreciate it.

So without making you all wait any longer here is the new updated picture.... (pictures at top of blog have also been updated.)

I so needed this....

After dealing with a rough couple of months.
I am also getting ready and preparing for the holidays as they come.

I come across this video with the help of a friend's post on facebook.
It must of been something I really needed to hear today as the moment it started tears just start flowing uncontrollably.

I hope you enjoy it too.

My idea for stitching...

I have been seeing everyone deciding to do special stitching goals for the New Year. (ex. starting 15 new projects)

I think I am going to do something a little different.

I think for me my stitching goal is going to be working on 7 projects.

The only difference is...
I have a long list of UFO's and I so badly would like to get them finished.

So here is my idea.....
I am going to stitch on 5 of the UFO and also be able to start 2 new ones. That way since most of my UFO are 5x7 or larger.... I can chose to make the 2 new ones be smalls.

That way I can work hard on what needs to be finished and also be able to finish something in the progress....

If those 2 smalls are finished - I can add 2 more new smalls as long as I continue to work on the other 5 UFO's. Should I finish one of the UFO's - I will just add another UFO in it's place.

This way they will keep getting worked on but I still get satisfaction of finishing something and starting something new.

What do you all think? Anyone want to join me in trying to do this?

Just letting you know..

I have updated my For Sale/Trade album.

Please take a look and see if you are interested in anything... there are both stitching items as well as non-stitching items listed with pictures.
