it's unusual, but it's me. i am monica on friends when she throws the shower for rachel and then spends the evening ironing tissue paper and cleaning her apartment. that's me. i love to clean. i love to cook for my family, though, i would love to be as talented as this lady. i love playing and teaching and spending endless moments reading books and soaking in that wrinkled nose of baby girls. i love motherhood and everything about it. i love snuggling my babies every single day.
i learned a little something about myself this past weekend. mama needs a break. i hate being away from my family. when i am away from them i spend my time missing them like crazy. yet this weekend provided just the refreshing i needed to get back to the daily grind with a new and improved attitude!
i got to hug the necks of each one of these women. they each have a story to tell and talent to share. i arrived in blue ridge tired. i came home from blue ridge, still tired, but full....so very full. not to mention i came home with some pretty amazing loot. stuff i've been eyeing for a while now. it's mine all mine. and it can be yours all yours too!!!
just enter below. seriously, you'll be glad you did.

One project I did that I loved was to take a new cabinet door (found it at Habitat for Humanity) & placed a decorative decal/sticker on the corners & placed two cabinet handles I got from Lowe's (also can be found at Habitat) on either side & it makes a nice. I made two for two of our favorite NICU nurses who cared for our twins. I also wrote a note on the back.
