Pay it forward

I will make a handmade gift for the first 3 interested people who comment on this post. I have 365 days to do it in. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise!

The catch is that you must participate as well: you must have a blog and before you leave your comment here, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. Just cut and paste this one if you like, which I did. Leave me your blog addy or email so I can contact you for your snail mail when your homespun is ready to go.

chore chart

Do you have cute little beans that like to see their name on papers and like to put check marks next to their accomplishments? Then see this blog, and the free, customized, printable chore chart. I've just printed up four, one for each of my guys, and will put them in page protectors and use dry erase markers so we can reuse them each week. Enjoy!
contributing to the family.

I cut my hair!

My Face Book friends have already seen this, but not everybody so here goes! I did this last Saturday night, it took about 20-30 minutes. I cut the perimiter first, then went back and cut in the layers, starting at the back and working my way forward. I am LOVING it!

Just me

Just me

Made of Clay

I have a beautiful and crazy life. I am the lucky gal who gets to be married to Scott for 14 years so far.We have four handsome young men given to us by God. I homeschool the oldest three boys and try to keep the youngest busy NOT coloring on the walls. I am continually working on my organizational skills. I am learning to lean on God for my day to day living. I am a work in progress. I am clay in the Masters Hands.
I am Paige
