30 Summertime Vows

30 Summertime Vows-
Writer's Workshop Promp #1

 It's hard to believe that June is almost half over! August will be here before I'm ready for it. So as way to get everything done that I want; I am going to make a list of 30 vowels that I want to accomplish this summer. I will give you an update of how many things I actually get done in August. 


30 Things I Vow To Do This Summer
1. Get outside often. Even though it's stinking hot!
2. Go to the beach
3. Eat seafood as much as possible
4. Get my closet cleaned out and organized
5. Spend time with my niece Kaylin
6. Relax
7. Check out the farmer's market in the area
8. Scrapbook
9. Finish my spring cleaning. I know, I'm a little late. Better late than not at all though. 
10. Read a lot
11. Go blackberry picking
12. Finish my sewing project from last summer. 
13. Go swimming
14. Sleep late
15. Get back to my artwork (painting, drawing, clay)

On The Mend

Hey everyone!  I'm sorry I haven't posted lately. I was out of town for the weekend and then yesterday I got food poisioning. I have never been so sick in all my life! It was awful.I hope I never have to go through that again!  The doctor says I am on the mend but since I was severly dehydrated he wants me to take it easy the next couple of days. I will try to catch up on everyone's post and publish some new ones too. I hope everyone had a safe and happy Memorail Day weekend. See you soon!

Simple Woman's Day Book

Hello everyone. I know it's been a while since I been on here. I am posting using format from the Simple Woman's Daybook blog. The format is very simple but also informative. I am working on a couple of holiday post and I hope to have them posted soon.

Love, peace, and candy cane treats! :)

FOR TODAY... from Carol's Daybook

Outside my window... windy and cold. The sun came out a little bit today

I am thinking... things could be better but then things could also be worse.

I am thankful for... friends who pray

I am wearing... t-shirt, jeans, tennies and smile

I am remembering... how it snowed here almost a week ago. I wish it would snow again.but then I do live in Southeast Texas so it's probably not like to happen again this year.

I am going... to wrap presents and make more cookies. Maybe meet up with some friends for coffee.

I am currently reading...Gone With The Wind-it's a really great book but very long.

I am hoping... to get some work . It's hard wanting to be able to work and not being able to find any.

On my mind...The holidays. Missing loved ones who live far away or in heaven. Going to the Dr. again on Friday-wondering if we are ever going to get things straightened out.

Noticing that...Jesus really is in control. I just have to remember to give things over to Him-and not take them back.

Pondering these words... "If each moment is sacred--a time and place where we encounter God-- life itself is sacred." Jean M. Bloomquist

From the kitchen... mexican wedding cookies, chili, and fudge. I love to cook-can't you tell! :)

Around the house...holdiay stuff that needs to be put out or packed away.

One of my favorite things~ loving on Rosie and Sophie.

From my picture journal..
