I can't wait to get everything all set up & relax & have fun seeing everyone again!! Not to mention Friday night in our Hot Tub room!!

We are going to be in a different spot this year, so please look for us in the other room right across from Old Mother Hubbards booth. I will post a couple of pics this week end of a few of the new things I will have at the show. Until then, stay safe & warm!! Blessings~Jackie

Here she is~~

Here's my sweet little angel Raeghan!! I have to get the more updated photos on my computer, but here she is the day she was born. What a sweet baby she is....we hardly even know she is around! She hardly ever cries & is already sleeping good at night. What a little blessing she is!

It's Official~~I'm a Grandma!!!

Hello everyone~~ Well, it has been quite the week for us!! On Monday night I got a call from our daughter that the fluid around the baby was about half of what it should have been, so they were going to induce labor at 5:00 Wed. morning. Thankfully we got down to TN. in time, and were able to get them to the hospital and be there for the delivery!! It was just amazing! They started to induce at 7:30 am, and little Raeghan Renae was born at 10:45 am. She was 7 lbs., 7 oz. and 20" long!! And she has some hair!! We all expected a bald baby so we were quite surprised to see any hair. She is just a little angel. I love her so much already, and they are coming to Ohio with us for a couple of months so that we can help them out. What a blessing!! I will post some pictures once we are back and have high speed Internet again. Well, enough for now...I'll write again when we are home. Blessings~~Jackie

I was really lookingforward to it, but I guess that's just how it goes sometimes. So....I have a whole bunch of stuff that I added to my Picture Trail. I will have another update with more stuff next week, and am hoping to have a few new patterns finished up next week as well, so stay tuned for that! I hope you can take a minute to stop by and see what I've been up to! Blessing until next time~Jackie

So....What do you think????

Of my new layout?? I have been playing around this morning with some new layouts. I have been wanting to change things up a bit for awhile now. Do you like it or are there some things you think just don't look right? I have a hard time seeing new changes with AOL, so if something looks funny....please let me know! Blessings~Jackie

Happy Friday Every One!!

Well, I will be spending the day getting ready for my oldest daughter's baby shower tomorrow. She is in TN. and won't be here, but we'll be on the phone, and I'll be taking pictures & sending them to her throughout the shower. It's been kind of hard, since most of our family is in WI., she's in TN., and we're here in Ohio. We'll be going down there as soon as she goes into labor, and are hoping to get there in time for the birth. She wants me in the delivery room with her. :) We are all getting excited to have our first grandbaby/niece. She is having a little girl....Saylor Raeghan Renae. It took me a bit to get used to the name, but it's grown on me. Just can't wait to see her & hold her. Well, I am off to start my busy day...have a great week end everyone!! Blesings~~Jackie

I Feel Like We're Back in Wisconsin!!

Wow!!! Worst snow of the season is right!!! We must have gotten a foot of snow since yesterday morning. We have drifts in our driveway 3 feet high!! This is the most snow I've seen in about 3 years, and frankly, I am not liking it too much!! It can't last too long though. If we can just get through Feb., it will be okay. I am so looking forward to seing the first flower buds peeking out of the ground!! This will be our first Spring at this house, so I can't wait to see what is already here, and make my flower bed up in the front of the house. I am thinking I want lots of Hollyhocks!! They are one of my favorite flowers, and I am hoping they grow good here. Well, enough about the weather!! I have been so busy working on shop orders, but I also threw in a few things for a small update, and am hoping to have them done on Thursday. I will post again to let you know for sure. Until then, stay safe & warm!! Blessings~~Jackie
