The Loveless Cafe

My aunt and uncle (Sheph parents) came from CA for Christmas. Today we went to eat at Loveless Cafe in Nashville. They had seen it on the Food Network. It was so YUMMY! And they give you so much food.

In this picture is Holly, Keith, Brent, Will, Kristen, Faith, Marlene, Stephanie, Bill, Elaine, Al

I love this picture. Keith said that he would be our dog in the picture. He makes a great dog!

Here we are inside the restaurant.

Aunt Marlene, Faith, Steph

Here are some pics of the whole family using the wii.

I think that everyone will be waking up sore tomorrow!

I know Faith and I were sore this morning from playing yesterday. It is a lot of fun!!!

Christmas at home

The kids had a great Christmas. They got a Wii and a couple of other gifts. We all have had great fun with the Wii.

Here is Faith and her new doll.

Here is Will with a Nerf long shot.

Both Faith and Will. Can you see Faith's dog in between her and one of her gifts?

Christmas at Grandmas and Grandpas

Faith

Will just opened a little knife that came from Guatemala. G'ma got it for him while she was there. He is in shock!

My first apron

Here is the first apron that I made. My sister-in-law, Holly wanted one and asked me if I would make it for her. Here name is on it towards the top but a little hard to see in the pic.

More things made with the Cricut

Here is another item I used the cricut for. I had bought a letter from uppercase living and made a plate for my mother in law for Christmas it looked good so I wanted to try the cricut with vinyl lettering and it worked better than expected.

This is our dog barking at the windshield wipers on our way back home from AR

a few odd pics

Here is a picture of Faith and a kitten at her Meme's in AR.

Will and his dog Bo in AR. Will has claimed this dog that really is Brent's stepdad's. I think that this is the best dog to have. One you can call yours and someone else has to take care of. It seems like everytime we visit Brent's family they claim a dog or cat and it gets to stay there in AR. The best kind of pets!

Here is a picture that I took of Faith drinking Hot Chocolate.

Having fun

As most of you know I got a cricut. Today I pulled it out and decided to play around with it. So here are my first cards ever! I even used my sewing machine to add to one of them. It was a lot of fun and it was so simple! I spent 10-20 min on each.

Here is another purse with the same pattern that I made today. This is for my mother-in-law for Christmas. Don't worry she won't see it. She doesn't have Internet. I did change a few things on it but still basically the same. She likes Betty Boop.

Christmas ideas

This is for my friend Katie. But some you others might enjoy some of the links. Katie and I were talking about Christmas gifts and sewing. I was telling her that if I could learn to sew she could too and telling her how easy it was. (All the things my friend Shelly has told me.) So I told her about some easy projects and this purse is one of them and the pattern is online. Here is how you get to it. Go to www.diynetwork.com click on Crafts and then go to the search box and type in "Simply Stylish Tote" click on the first link. The picture is of a blue and brown purse. Here is also another website that has some awsome projects that are easy and would make good gifts. www.jcarolinecreative.com At the top click on how to's. Katie, the thing we were talking about the tags is under baby burp cloths. Check out the one on Fabric Applique. You use a reg. sewing machine for that and they are cute. I saw some the other day at a craft fair for $13 on hand towels for a bathroom. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I know you can do it! Not all the crafts on jcaroline need a sewing machine. I have also ordered stuff from this website and was very pleased. Katie is also shows how to do a fabric covered button! Hope you get some great ideas. Now I must go and start sewing some gifts myself!

Fall Pictures

Here are some pictures that I just took. I had very limited time. Will was only willing to do this during the half time of the football game. It was very cold out there. We might try and get out there tomorrow since we don't have school! I wanted to take them somewhere but time has just slipped away from us. So we did it in the back yard again for the 3rd Fall in a row. We are going to have fun taking care of the leaves.

Faith and her dog.

Being silly

Here are 2 burp cloths that I made for a lady in our Sunday School class.

My little soap maker

Here are some pictures of Faith making soap at Grandma's. Grandma helped her do this on Tuesday since they didn't have to go to school. She had a lot of fun and made some very nice soaps.

JUSTIN WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!

Last night we were so honored to go to
Justin's last football game (Senior Night) at the Clarksville Academy! The kids even thought that this beat trick-or-treating. They sprayed their hair blue and put blue face paint on. I have known Justin since he was 5 years old and have had the privilege to watch him grow into a fine young Christian man. Justin you played a great game last night!! 24-0!! You have so many fans! Hope we didn't embarrass you too bad!

Justin and one of his biggest fans, Will!
Faith
Tailgating fun before the game! We had so much great food!
