Mugs, Water Bottles, Night lights, Oh my!

I've found something I absolutely LOVE doing! Buying an embroidery machine has got to be one of the best purchases I've ever made. I've been able to do so many neat things with it. I started out just monogramming some shirts for my girls. Ashlyn even asked me in the beginning if all of her clothes were going to have her initials on them. :-)
Now, I'm making travel mugs, water bottles, night lights, towels, duffle bags, and more. Here are some samples of what I've done and a list of my prices. If you are interested in any of these you can contact me at prissymissy75@bellsouth.net!!

It's finally in stores!

The book is out! Me With You is finally in stores. How exciting to finally read this book. My cousin Kristy did a wonderful job with it. The words are precious and the illustrations are amazing. This book would make a wonderful Father's Day gift or you could give it for Grandparent's Day which is in September. Please go to your local bookstore and pick up a copy of this book. You won't regret it. It's definitely a book you'll love forever!!

I love my Mama!!

My mama is a wonderful woman! She is beautiful, hilarious, caring, giving, hard-working, fun, and the list could go on and on. I love her so much and thank God daily for making me her daughter.

Mama, I hope today has been a wonderful day for you. You deserve all the best! Thank you for loving me and showing me the love of Christ over the last 33 years. I love you so much!! Happy Mother's Day!

It's Wednesday!!

It's been a while...

So, I just noticed that it's been over 2 weeks since my last post. I better update so that I don't get a nasty email from my sister, Amy, telling me I'm a slacker! :-)

I've done a lot in the last two weeks. I went on a wonderful Ladies Retreat with my friend Stephanie. I go every year in April. It's definitely something I look forward to. This year the speaker was Ruth McWhite. Ruth was actually the speaker at the very first retreat I went to with Steph. She is an amazing speaker and so passionate about growing closer to God. The theme this year was "Recipes for Living". Ruth shared with us about the excitement of experiencing God, about prayers that satisfy, liberation from our sinful nature, the life God intends for us to have, and the sweet aroma of Christ. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE spending those 2 days each year being renewed!

Another plus this year was that Steph asked me to help her with the music! I love to sing but haven't done a lot of that since we left First Baptist North Spartanburg. I was so excited when she asked me to help. I loved every minute of standing up there helping lead in worship! Thanks Steph for giving me that opportunity! :-)

On Saturday of the retreat we have free time in the afternoon. We always pile in Steph's Suburban and head into Hendersonville to walk Main Street. I love spending time with those girls! We laugh until we hurt and pretty much just act silly. I'll post a few pics of our crazy time together from that afternoon.

I had some plastic surgery on my lips while I was away.

Steph couldn't let Kim be the only one to drink tabasco!

Carrots, Bunnies, and Jelly Beans

Tomorrow is Ashlyn's birthday so we celebrated at her school today. She gave me specific instructions on what she wanted me to do for cupcakes! She wanted them to look like they had grass with a bunny and Easter eggs on them. I wasn't sure what to do for the bunnies but I ended up finding a bag of 40 little plastic bunnies at Hobby Lobby for $1.50. Not bad! We used Smarties Jelly Beans as the Easter eggs. I intended on making the grass look more like grass but couldn't find the right tip to ice them with so....I did the best I could. :-) I think Ash was pleased with them! Her face lit up big time when I got to her classroom and she saw them for the first time.





We also made these cute "carrots"! We used the Wilton 12 inch plastic decorating bags, filled them with Cheetos, and tied them up with a piece of green tissue paper and green curly ribbon. By the way....I've learned to cheat and buy the gift bows that are made from curly ribbon. They are already curled for you and you just pull a string of it out and voila...you have the curls already done for you!! :-)
