My 2nd daughter, Brittany Nicole Freese, just turned 18 on January 10th. Isn't she beautiful?? She is now also signed in to the US Marine Corp. She goes to Paris Island, SC in August. She plans on being in the Marine Band. I am so proud of her!! Love you Peadeii!!!

The very artistic Melissa from http://alterediva.blogspot.com/ has invited everyone to take part in this Pay It Forward.

I too think this is a great idea and am willing to play!

I will send a handmade gift/thingy/ something to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this ‘Pay It Forward’ exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be, and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! And truthfully, it will most probably be later rather than sooner! The only thing you have to do in return is ‘Pay It Forward’ by making the same promise on your blog with a link back to me. So basically, if you comment, I’ll send you something crafty that I’ll make! Be sure to include your email. Once you sign up, copy and paste the above paragraph on your blog, and three other lucky people will be recipients of your handmade work.

You must post this on your blog to be eligible.

Where have I been?? Mainly surfing the web, working on ART (yes really!!), being in LOTS of pain and looking at Maddie boogers!!! I was on the computer this morning when Maddie came over with something really small looking between her chubby little fingers. She puts it up to my face and says something like "ba-alls". I say "yeah, cool" and she leaves. She comes back a few minutes later with the same small thing and shows me again saying "boo-ers" I just look and say "yeah, ok" and she leaves. A minutes later I get up and she runs to me and screams "BOO-ER" I look again very closly and "Yeah, That's a BOOGER!!!" A BIG one at that. I will never get over how a two year old can have such LARGE Boo-ers!!! Well, now I must go make her some "ta-ta milk" LOL Chocolate milk has become her new favorite!!

The topic at Inspire Me Thursday http://www.inspiremethursday.com/ is CONTROL. When I think of CONTROL I think of how I can not CONTROL my pain, just as my 2 year old Madison can not CONTROL her fear of loud noises. She screamed the whole time she was on the tractor but immediately regained CONTROL when the ride was over. I have far gotten beyond screaming and crying about my pain from this disorder.....is THAT CONTROL?

It is taking me some time to finish all of my projects for the art show this weekend. I just worked for about 2 hours and the pain is excruciating. Here are the cards I made with my jewelry attached. I think they have turned out pretty good. First I sprayed the tags with a home made walnut ink. I then sewed pieces of fabric to them and attached the pins and earrings that I made. This is just a sampling of my stock.
