Life is good.

(THIS IS A VIDEO CLICK ON THE PLAY SYMBOL TO WATCH)

At our small church we don't have a choir, or not an adult choir I should say. We have very good music and a couple of singers, and then we have our precious children. Every Sunday they come to the front and sing along. They are seriously the highlight of the service! What is so funny about this is that they don't know any kids songs, they like hymns! This Sunday we were missing a few musicians and singers so Pastor (30 minutes before service) requested that the children take over. Our two guitar players decided that they would play children songs instead of our normal hymns. We didn't have time to practice any of the songs but we were sure that if they knew all those old hymns so well that they would surely know "This Little Light of Mine" and "Jesus Loves Me", well, not the case. This turned out to be the most precious mistake ever! I laughed so hard that I had tears pouring down my face. And Just so you know, after this song was over they sang "I'll Fly Away" and never missed a lick! It was so touching. Jesus said, "Unless ye humble yourselves and become as little children ye shall by no means enter the kingdom of Heaven" I am so glad to have a daily reminder of childlike faith. When Molly was a baby I was holding her in a restaurant and an old minister came up to look at her. I knew him to be a very Godly man, but he didn't remember me. When I was little I would go to bible school at his church, and he always took the time to talk to us like we important. He looked at her for a minute and his eyes filled with tears and he told me "this is the closest to heaven you will ever be here on earth". Oh those words. They have been with me since that day. I hope you all enjoy this video! Sorry it's shaky at the end, I was loosing it! When they just went back to singing, I just couldn't handle it! LOL!

Another reason life is good. Est! She is the sweetest! I won a giveaway on her blog and she sent me this. I LOVE IT! I got it when I checked the mail last Sunday before church and I took and showed it to my Sunday school class. They loved it too- and that's saying a lot considering that they are little boys ;) I have it on my desk and it makes me smile every time I see it. Thank you Est! I will have three freebie patterns out this week, and some sewing to show you so stay tuned!

I have to tell you that I'll Fly Away is my favorite song. Ac ouple of Sundays ago I was feeling down and the music director handed out music sheets and it was this song. I am thirlled to see it enjoyed by others.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
