25 Mac & Cheese Recipes by Gooseberry Patch

Today...

Today, my baby girl is sick w/ a temp of 103.5. Today, my FIL got very sick @ radiation & we got more bad news about his cancer. Today, I found out a friend had a miscarriage. Today, my BIL was taken to the ER w/ a nasty kidney stone. Today, a young cousin is in the hospital for an impacted bowel. Today, I can still say that this is the... day that the Lord has made & I will rejoice & be glad in it! Just thankful I KNOW Him!

Wynter Blahs Swap! Come sign up!

I've decided to host a Wynter Blah's Swap. Outside, the snow is swirling & drifting, it's bitter cold, I just want to nap but my baby won't let me...LOL So I am creating a swap and I hope you'll join in the fun!

Guidelines:

~We'll be swapping random things that you already own or have the supplies to make.
~Everyone will submit a list of their likes and dislikes, hobbies, etc.
~I don't want anyone to go out & buy something new for the swap, unless it would be supplies to go with the supplies you already own to make something with. (For example, if you decide to make some notecards, but don't have a certain color ink pad, it's fine to buy one).
~This swap does not have a particular theme...you'll be matched up with a swapper & will pull from the list they submit.
~Let's get those creative juices flowing!

To get things started & to give you an idea of things to list, I'll post my list here so that you can get a feel for the swap.

What about a price limit of $10-$15?

OK...

Let's swap and banish those Wynter Blahs!!

I'm baaack! lol

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year Celebration! Our holidays were nice but I'm so ready for the fresh start of the new year!

We moved! Our beautiful home on 5.5 acres sold in 12 DAYS. Seven weeks later, we closed on it and we had to be out on Christmas Day! We frantically searched for a new home to buy in Indianapolis (an hour from our old home) but it didn't work out. The first house we made an offer on...someone else's offer was accepted first. The second house we loved, we were scheduled to see it a second time and had plans to make an offer on it, but the morning of the showing, my hubby checked on Indiana's Sex Offender Registry and found out a convicted child molester lived 2 doors down from the house we wanted to buy!!!!!

SO....we are in a short term lease apartment. Having a terrible time adjusting...Ryleigh is 18 months old and the noise from the upstairs apartment causes her a lot of anxiety. We run 2 fans and a CD player constantly, but it's still a problem. Management is trying to help us though.

Ryleigh isn't sleeping much, which means we aren't either and that's a real problem! lol

Anyhoo...I hope to get back into the swing of things and start reading blogs and posting again. I miss everyone!

Our new temporary home! See the brick arch w/ the #'s on it? Our place is the bricked area to the right of the arch, on the first floor.

My nephew Nathan, niece Hannah & my daughter Ryleigh
We had this pic taken for my mom...it's her 3 grandchildren. =)


Hubby, Me & Ry


Ry is so stinkin' rotten! LOL


Silly face! LOL



Happy New Year!!

If you were a Giveaway Winner last week....

I AM SO SORRY! I just realized last night that I didn't have my Christmas graphics on my site for you to choose from for your address labels!! Wahhhhhhh!

I have them loaded on there but not named yet. But that's OK, if you see something you want on your labels, just describe the graphic to me.

If you'd already emailed me with your choices, please look again and let me know if you'd like Christmas labels instead.

Again, I am so sorry! I feel so stupid!

Follow the link to go to my selling blog...Peterson Creek Mercantile
to see the Christmas choices.

Giveaway Winners!

Well, now, I said that I would draw 5 names as winners, didn't I??

I've decided, since I'm in such a give-y mood, that since only 7 people signed up, ALL 7 of you are winners! WOOHOO!!! What do ya think about that??

So, check out my site (link is in previous post) and comment me or email me with your choices! You get 2 sheets of labels, so feel free to choose 2 different graphics. If you only want one graphic, I can do both sheets the same.

OR if you would like to have 4 graphics, I can do 15 labels the same on each sheet, the other 15 with something else etc. Clear as mud?? lol

CONGRATS EVERYONE!!
