New Web Site

WOW!!!!! I can't believe how long it has been since I last BLOGGED. A lot as been going on I stepped down at SOTB as a VIP so that I could work on making baby dolls. I have sat at 3 shows in the heat of South Carolina and sold nothing. But I have sold a dozen dolls just by word of mouth and sitting at places making them. I am setting up a web site to sell them on and hope to have dolls up later today.

TwilasTreasuresSC is my web site so keep a watch out and see my baby dolls when I get them up.

God Bless

I sold my first baby doll tonight. I had taken one in to the Cracker Barrel to show my aunt and a lady came up and had a fit over him. I made him a real little boy and never thought I would sell any. Now she wants 2 more in the coming weeks.

Plus I have more orders for babies. I am so Happy.

Cody is doing better he was so sick coughing and sneezing this week. I am Glad he is better but now he is wired again. LOL

God Bless you all

Monday

This is a photo I took last week when we had a very foggie morning. All the spider webs were so cool I just had to get a photo. Well took Cody to doctor and he will be out of school tomorrow too. Fever has to break before he can go back. Has all the yuck stuff everyone else has been having.
Have a Bless Day everyone

Morning

Well yesterday I had to go buy a new router. My old one just did not want to handle three computers running at once. So I got a net gear Wireless-N Gigabit Router.... I hope it works better. So far so good though. Cody has been sick since Friday with a sore throat and yesterday he sneezed and coughed all day long. He had a fever off and on all weekend. Friday he slept for over two hours got up for an hour and then went back to bed and slept 12 hours. Well hope everyone else is doing good.

God Bless You

WOW!! My Cody turned 14 today it is so hard to believe he will be at the high school next year. This is Cody (Trust Me Shirt on) Carson, Mary Kate (brown and green shirt on) and Kayla three of Cody's best friends. We went to Wasabi's Japanese Steakhouse for lunch since it was a short day at school for the kids (teachers had classes today) then went to the mall and Sears to have photos done. I laughed so hard today and I think these guys had a blast too. The gang all bought Cody the Build a bear and named him Patrick. Carson made Cody his Birthday Crown out of Duck Tape.

Sick

Well I didn't get to help with the baby shower yesterday. I feel bad that I couldn't help but better if I stayed away being so sick.

Well hope everyone else is doing good and not fighting everything that is going around.

God Bless You

Hope for McKenna

Hope for McKenna The newest kit at SOTB A Mother's Love is now ready for sale....and what a kit it is full of thoughtfulness from the some of the best designers with the biggest hearts around.

A Mother’s Love was created by the thoughtful and generous designers of Scrap Outside the Box to help the family of McKenna Elise Conrad. McKenna was born January 12, 2008 with a cleft lip and cleft palate, which occurs in one in every 500 births. Now one-year-old, McKenna has already undergone numerous procedures to repair her cleft lip, resulting in $5,000 in medical bills. She is scheduled to undergo palate surgery on March 6 and that amount will more than double. Sadly this is all after health insurance has been paid. Her family is in dire need of financial assistance and you can help.

McKenna is very near and dear to our hearts, because she is the niece of Scrap Outside the Box owner, Dani Fenning. It seems only natural that we reach out to her family in the best way that we can, by creating a sharing a fabulous charity kit and donating the proceeds to this needy family. A Mother’s Love is the perfect title for this warm, colorful collaboration full of flowers, butterflies and rainbows. What better way to show that you care while getting a beautiful kit in return.
All proceeds from the sales of A Mother’s Love will go directly towards the family's medical expenses. Your help and support are greatly appreciated.

Cody's School Project

Cody has a school project for the next two weeks he has to watch the moon and draw it.We are trying to get photos of it every night but it is rising here so late. So this morning we took a photo. They are studying the moon phases now even thought he knows them. Well I guess I better go look and see if it is out yet. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thursday.

Lake Hartwell

Photos from our drive to River Hartwell (I mean Lake Hartwell)

in Anderson, SC. The lake is so low that it looks like a river now not a lake. We have had some rain here so it is up from it's lowest point in December. We don't get snow so someone had made a Mudman on the shore.

Mom went home yesterday and is doing great. Thanks for all the prayers

My Mom

Mom came through her surgery great this morning and they believe they got all the cancer. Please continue to Pray for her as she heals and take a minute or to to help fund breast cancer by clicking on the Pink Ribbon link on my page.

God Bless you all.

For New Years day we rode to Mt. Mitchell in NC. It was so cold up there but we had a wonderful time. They have the new observatory done and it it beautiful. It was a beautiful day and you could see for miles usually when we go it is foggy up there. Coming back down we saw this deer just standing there watching us. He didn't even try to run away. The last two days I have gotten up and had a migraine headache. I can stand the pain it is the aura that I can't take. I missed Church because I can't see during the first hour of one. Hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year so far. God Bless Everyone

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. Hope your 2009 is filled with Love, Faith and Hope.
