a big thank you...



God has truly been blessing us lately. Here is Molly & Grae with their mouths stuffed with heart candy. Someone left us a basket of goodies at church that included a gas gift card, a mall gift card, wine, heart candy, cocoa, pudding, pencils, marshmellows and homemade banana bread. We don't know who did it but if you read this blog: THANK YOU! It sure lifted our day.

Brian's parents gave us some money as well as, get this, Kettle chips, chocolate milk, eggs, ham and a bunch of fruit. We've been enjoying this break from soups, beans and rice. I've been stuffing my face with chips and loving every minute ;) I feel like I can go back to the grindstone with renewed vigor. Thank you God.

I've also taken a break from sewing diapers to sew dresses for Ellie and Molly. So far I've got two done for Ellie and one for Molly. I have plans for more but need to go back to sewing diapers on Monday. It feels so good to create something again!

In case you didn't know and don't mall shop - mall gift cards, if they have a Visa logo, can be used anywhere that takes Visa.

What pretty dresses for such pretty girls. I'm glad you got some Kettle Chips and other yummies ~ you reap what you sow, obviously you have wonderful friends and family who care about you.

I am glad you had the opportunity to create...I was one of your biggest fans of PB&E on ebay and I still keep a running search for any resells...my daughter has worn many of your dresses and it is with a heavy heart that I pass them along to family and friends...

Hi I ran across your blog today and you have such a beautiful family! I love the clothes that you make for your little ones. Do you make them and sell them anywhere? I don't have any little girls yet (one little boy) but I would buy your stuff anyways :) email me at colleenrhea@gmail.com if you do have somewhere you sell your clothing. God Bless!

Oh, I love love love that dress with the big fat flowers! So cute! What a lucky little girl she is. It looks like she likes the dress, too!

It is nice to hear about your surprise packages, too -- something like that really lifts the spirits. Hang in there and keep trusting God!

They look absolutely adorable, Amy! I'm so glad you got some time to do something you enjoy :) We've been keeping you and your family in our prayers -- we've been wearing our belts pretty tight these days too and sympathize wholeheartedly!
