Are you a “Scrapper”?

Jo — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 18:39:38 +0000

I love the idea of scrap-booking. I love looking at scrap-books and would love to get into scrap-booking myself, but I am creatively challenged.

I have all these ideas swirling around in my head but getting them from there to the book is a challenge. They somehow get lost in the “translation” somehow. I really don’t understand it. I see it in my head and it’s beautiful, but getting it on paper, so to speak, is a nightmare. I cannot make it happen.

I have some of the stuff to start a couple scrapbooks, too somewhere. My hubby’s aunt gave it to me. I really should just sit down and see if I can do something with it, if I can find it now…

Well, anyway, maybe I’ll work on it and post some pictures of what I come up with, if anything.

Til next time…

Dreams and Aspirations…

Jo — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 16:09:53 +0000

Buster and I gladly gave up our “dream” home (it still needs a little work, but it has a lot of potential) when God called us to move out here to camp to serve Him here. We were so excited to see what God had in store for us out here, and we are still excited that God is using us here.

The house we live in here at camp is about 1/3- 1/4 the size of the home we own in town. That is a lot less space!! I try to keep the clutter down here in our little house, but it’s very hard considering there isn’t enough space for everything.

Anyway, Buster and I have been talking about eventually (once we sell our house, more than likely) adding on to this house and making it bigger. We would make what is now the dining/living area all dining area and put in a new family/living room and a master bedroom with a big master bathroom. We have a master bed/bath now, but the bathroom is very small and only has a shower in it.

Another thing I would like to add is a dish washer to the kitchen, which we could make a little bigger also. I really miss having one, it would make my busy life a lot easier.

Buster has also mentioned building or buying some kind of omnimount type contraption to attach the TV to the wall, giving us more space. At our house in town there was lots of space to put all his eagles (he collects them). Now we don’t, so if we put the TV on the wall, we will have the top of the entertainment center to put eagles on.

Don’t get me wrong, we are very thankful for a place to live, and I am in no way complaining, but we would love to be comfortable in our living space. We choose to be in God’s will comfortable or not, but wouldn’t it be nice if we could have both???

Save The Date…

A few years ago, my husband’s cousin was getting married. All those being invited got these little magnets in the mail that had the wedding date on them. Something called save the date cards. They were really cute! We stuck it on our fridge to help remind us of when the wedding was…

Up until then, I had never even heard of such a thing. It’s quite a neat idea, though. You send them out ahead of the invitations so that people can save the date on their calendar so they don’t make other plans on your special day. It’s very considerate and thoughtful of those who lead busy lives.

The important things in life….

Jo — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 17:01:41 +0000

When Buster lost his job with the USPS, we also lost our life insurance. It worried me, because we had lost our son in an auto-accident just before that and had we not had life insurance on him, we would have been looking at $10,00 of debt or there-about. We didn’t have life insurance for several years after that until I found term life insurance through our car/home insurance company.

I cannot tell you how good it feels to know that if something were to happen to one of us, the other or our daughter wouldn’t have to worry about funeral costs, and they can be expensive!! I even found a whole life insurance plan for my daughter that is good as long as she pays the premium. Even if she marries and/or gets life insurance of her own, as long as she pays the premium she keeps her coverage, and I think it doubles when she hits 25 years old.

It may seem like a small thing to some, but I think it’s very important!
