It's winter!!! Okay so it's been winter for almost a month now, but you couldn't tell our local temperatures that. It's been really nice here and hardly dropped into the 30's at all. Today, it's gone from 48 to 34 in a matter of a couple hours. There was rain falling, but it seems to have turned into a bit of snow. I personally already miss the 40 and 50 degree weather. The good thing is that none of us have to leave the house tomorrow!!
On a different note, William went for his 18 month checkup and all was well. He's 23 pounds 2 ounces and 30 inches tall. His pediatrician says he's a happy healthy good looking little fella, even though he is a bit short for his age group. Oh well, we love short just as much as we love tall.
Well, off to go love on my short little man.
God bless,
Lacey

New Christmas Rule
I'm giving serious consideration to instating a new rule for next Christmas. I'm fairly creative individual, so I'm thinking of doing completely handmade Christmas gifts next year, be it earrings, a scarf, cookies, whatever as long as it's reasonable. I know several people have been doing this for quite some time, and with wonderful results. I'm not sure how everyone in the family would take to the idea though. I don't mean that everyone will have to make their gifts for everyone else, because I know that just won't work with my family. I simply mean that every gift I give to my friends and family will be made by me in some way.
What do you think about this idea? Do you and your family do this kind of thing?
God Bless,
Lacey

Merry Christmas
I wanted to take a moment from my day to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas. Since I will be gone most of the afternoon today and most of the day tomorrow I won't have a chance to do so on Christmas day.
Take a moment in all the hustle and bustle to remember the true reason we celebrate Christmas. Send up a quick prayer to thank God for sending us his son. Also, thank him for all of the blessings you have and the ones he will bless you with in the coming year. Be thankful for your friends and family and for life in general.
Merry Christmas and God Bless,
Lacey

Winning Streak
I should have played the lottery this past week or so. I've won a couple things from a couple fellow bloggers that have made me very happy. I played along with Mich L.'s Guess the Mystery Thing game in her blog, Mich L. in L.A. She finds random things from the hardware store or the local dollar store and then proceeds to make some really awesome jewelry items out of them. You should check her out. I also commented on a couple posts by Lisa over at A Bead A Day blog and was rewarded with a lovely mix of beads and luckily for me a copy of her wonderful book A Bead in Time. She posts beautiful beads and lovely ideas for using those beads regularly. If you get a chance I'd recommend going to visit when you get the chance.
Both of these ladies put a lot of time into their "play" so go by and look around their blogs. I hope they inspire you as much as they've inspired me. They give you a reason to slow down and take a look at things a little differently than we usually do, to think about things in a way you wouldn't normally see them.
In closing...take the time to really see the world around you. Be of your surroundings not just in them.

Giving Thanks
As the craziness of the Holiday season kicks off here beside the creek, I'd like to take a minute to reflect on all the things that I am thankful for. After all, this is the season to be thankful even though I believe that we should take a moment to give thanks every morning when we wake up instead of just a couple months out of the year.
To start my list:
1) I thank God that he saw fit to allow me to have today. I know He doesn't promise tomorrow therefore I think we should all be thankful for the days we've been given.
2) I thank God for my husband. I've known him for over half my life. He was one of my best friends when we were in school, and I'm glad to have him as my best friend and partner in life.
3) I thank God for our wonderful little boy William. He is the light of my life even though he's at that toddler stage that makes you want to pull your hair out!!
4) I thank God for my parents. If not for them I wouldn't be here. They have influenced me in more ways than they will ever know.
5) I thank God for the rest of my family. Their love is awesome.
6) I thank God for my in-laws. They are truly kind, loving, and generous people.
7) I thank God for my friends, both the old and the new. My friends inspire, support, accept, and love me even though I know I make it tough sometimes.
8) I thank God for my home. Even though I complain about it quite regularly I'm thankful to have it.
9) I thank God for the ability to be able to express myself.
10) I thank God for the service men and women who put their lives on the line to protect all of my God given rights. Without them our nation would be in more of a mess than it is now.
That concludes my list for now. I hope this list inspires you to take a minute to thank God for all that he has done for you. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
God Bless,
Lacey

Epic Fail.....
My resolution to post every day has turned out to be an epic fail. Life just seems to get in the way from time to time. Therefore, I am not going to apologize. I will however tell you that I am going to try to post at least once a week. This too may be an epic fail, but I will put forth the effort to make it not be.
So, in the time since my last post lots of things have happened. William is walking, talking, and sporting about nine new teeth! We're thinking about building a house and trying to figure out where and how to get the money to afford to do so. I've not been able to craft as much as I'd like to here lately, but I've recently taken on a new crochet project for my mother's poodle..puppy booties. I know, I know. Why does the dog need booties? Well, because her feet get cold. So my mom asked my to crochet her some. I actually found a pattern for dog booties online and have finished 2 since yesterday. They work up quickly and really are cute. If you would like the pattern then click here.
Well, I guess that's about all I've got for today. I'm going to work on the dog booties some more. I'll take a picture of them when I'm finished. I hope the dog likes them!

Lacey
