Ice Skating at Alltell

On Friday we decided to give ice skating a try. Kayley had never been and its been probably 10 years since Chuck and I had gone. The closest rink for us is in Blue Jay. We had a great time and the walker was definitely worth the rental cost for Kayley. She did great and only landed on her backside once!

Some Christmas Pictures

This year we spent Christmas in Scottsdale, AZ with my family. We had a great time and Kayley especially had fun seeing her Grandma & Grandpa and cousins.

More SNOW Pictures!!

Kayley had been dying to play in the snow since we got home from school! We pulled out all the snow clothes we could find and headed out! Luckily, I had saved my old "Duck boots" from growing up in Naperville and she was able to wear them! We had fun and we let Abby come play in the front yard too! That dog should sleep well today - she loved it!












Let it Snow, Let is Snow, Let is Snow!!!

We've been waiting all week for it to SNOW and it finally happened this morning! Of course they didn't call a Snow Day until around 10:00 am, so as soon as I heard I went to get Kayley. I didn't want her to be out in a school bus in this weather. We've been having fun watching the snow fall. I'm getting some of my baking done too! I got chicken soup in the crock pot, homemade bread in the maker and cookies in the oven.
I think Abby is part snow dog!! She keeps seeking out to play in the snow. She loves it!!

Craft Fair Items


Last week was Kayley's school's Winter Festival. I had a Stampin' Up! table with information and also some crafts that I had made. Here are some of the items I made. The picture above is of the boy Tooth Fairy boxes I made. The girly ones are pictured below. I love how these turned out! Unfortunately, the stamp set is a retired one (Fairy Nice). It's a keeper though! I found the poem on Splitcoaststampers.com.


I LOVE my Big Shot! I used the Pennant Bigz die to make these Santa's and also the reindeer bags below. The sayings are also done using my Big Shot.



The Homemade Christmas Fudge was also an idea from Splitcoaststampers.com. The "Deer Friends" hostess set was perfect for them!


Please feel free to email me if you have any questions on what I used or how I made anything!

A PAIR OF SHOES - AUTHOR UNKNOWN

I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.
I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes. There are many pairs in this world.
Some woman are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.
