The Email Mix-up

For some reason a few weeks ago my junk folder started eating good emails (which is extra weird because my inbox still seems to be filled with JUNK that I didn't sign up for most of the time). I didn't know this until it was too late and I only found out then by chance because I'm not in the habit of checking my junk box. The worst part is that it automatically dumps (deletes) email every few days, so I really don't know what I've missed. I think I have it fixed now, so if you sent me an email that I have not responded to please forgive me and re-send it. I'm so sorry! And if you use hotmail, you may want to check your junk folder too. :)

I didn't send you an email, but I intended too. I recently moved near Jackson, MS. I stumbled upon a store called Continental Sewing the other day. We used to live "in the country", so to have a store that had lovely fabrics, notions and patterns I can walk into is great. As I looked around, I spotted something that looked familiar....YOUR PATTERNS!!! I thought "I know the lady who makes those!" (Even though I don't know you personally, and you have no idea who I am, you are so lovely in your blog, it seems like we are friends.) Anyway, I got a little thrill to see your patterns live and in person! Have a wonderful day!

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
