Sew Busy!

I have been busy working on a diaper bag for my sister. I had hoped it would be done for Christmas, but with school and everything else, I didn't even have time to go to the fabric store. I finally got a chance to buy the fabric yesterday, and this morning I began cutting out the pattern. I gave myself a deadline of Monday because I have other sewing projects I need to get done around here before my semester begins. I'll post a picture of the bag when I finish. I hope she likes the fabric I chose for her!

Speaking of my sister, I have been really concerned about her lately. I have been praying earnestly for her, and ask that you do the same. I can't go into the details, and I don't really want to, but please lift her and baby K. up in prayer. I appreciate it!

Your sister will be remembered in my prayers.

I just now watched the video of the toilet/phone incident. I couldn't stop laughing. Man oh man...that's just the kind of thing that usually happens to me. lol

I will definitely be keeping her in my prayers. I know the bags you made for TG and Carson were beautiful, so I'm sure this one will be as well.
Your sister and baby K will be lifted up in prayer!

I cannot wait to see the diaper bag!

Hope your new year is going well!

Couponing

As you probably noticed, I added a new ticker to the top of my blog. I have recently started to be more diligent with my use of coupons because of the fact that we will soon need to buy a larger vehicle.  We do not currently have a car payment and would like to keep things that way, but quite honestly, we don't have the cash saved up to pay for a vehicle in full (at least not enough cash for a newer vehicle). My goal is to save $2,000 by the end of January 2012. That equates to a savings of about $250 each month. I have always used coupons if I had one, but never really made an effort to maximize my savings potential. Until now. And it's awesome!!! I wish I had started sooner because the savings available are crazy. I love the feeling I get when I save 50% or MORE on foods and items we use every week. Our grocery bill is typically $80-$100 per week or $320-$400 per month. That seems high but considering we're a family of 7, that averages out to about...

Thursday Thirteen #3

Thirteen Things about South Carolina Mom 13 jobs I have held. . . 1. Special Olympics Swim Coach Best job ever and very rewarding! 2. Preschool/Youth swim instructor My first job (I volunteered until I got hired on at the Y, then I was paid.) 3. Lifeguard This was my first paid job. 4. Crew Chief/aircraft mechanic on the KC-10 I loved it- I saw the world on this plane and pushed myself the farthest mentally and physically I ever have or ever will again. Of course I missed my family and friends, but if I had to do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. 5. Debrief personnel I talked with aircrews after they landed about their flight/mission. I learned the logistical side of flying. 6. Tool Crib personnel I gave the mechanics tools for various jobs needed to fix the airplane. I also inventoried and ordered new tools, and that was fun. Until this job, I had no idea that tool companies have a representative drive around in a truck full of tools for people to use and try. It was during t...

{Updated Blog List}

I updated my blog list to include some blogs that I have been following for a while but weren't linked. I also removed some of the links to blogs that were no longer being updated. I may add some more to my list, time permitting. This clean-up/update has been long overdue! :)
