Tatiana's Trinkets....

Yep...we did it...we joined the "IT" crowd.....you know...you can find "It" on E-Bay! (admit it you have always wanted to know someone in the "IT" crowd) We have opened an Ebay store! Right now we are selling an eclectic array of odds (Jim has a lot of those) and ends, and I have recently started selling for others as well ! I am hoping in the near future to morph my inventory into some custom personalized items ...like commemorative plates for baby's births & weddings, hand painted furniture..... Tawni is going to be making and selling jewelry.....you get the idea !

We just thought we would let you in on our little venture...we are hoping this venture will enable me to stay home, not only to homeschool Tawni but to be able to open our home for foster care!

So if you have old stuff cluttering up your pad or you have something you want to sell...let me know !!

The store is called Tatiana's Trinkets....we added a link on our sidebar !!

Just a reminder.....

Remember to pray for all our guys and gals serving us .....and their families.....and the people we are fighting for....and the people we are fighting against......

I thought this picture was awesome !

The caption under the picture reads:

Air Force Master chief Sgt. John Gebhardt of the 332nd Expeditionary medical group at Balad, Iraq, cradles a young girl as they both sleep in the hospital. the girls ENTIRE family was executed by insurgents: the killers shot her iin the head as well. The girl received treatment at the military hospital , but cries and moans often. According to nurses Gebhardt is the only one who can calm her- so he has spent the last several nights holding her while they both sleep in a chair.

Torn between 2 loves.....

I just downloaded a free trial of Scrapbook Max......I have been very against these digital scrapbook programs.....and I still prefer the look of the hand done pages...but the ease...the no mess...and less cost...plus the fact that I can print Multiple copies of the same page with just a click of a button have pages done for family members........NO NO don't worry I am not the new rep. for Scrapbook Max......just sharing a private battle.......to scrap the traditional way...which is an art all to itself.....or to move into the future and actually get these scrapbooks done ! What do you think???

BIG Brother Kaiden

The other day... with a totally straight face I sat down next to Jim and said I am in love with a guy I have only known for a year........He gave me a funny look like "what?"...then I smiled and said...yep..Kaiden Robert...he's the cutes boy ever !!!

Hey, I know death and the following grief is not something most people want to think about, but it is a fact of this life, try as you might you can not escape it. I have been through several HUGE losses in this life.....I mean we all lose people, Grandma's & PA's.....and not to belittle those losses, but you kind of expect those...you know in the back of your mind that someday you will most likely have to deal with the loss of this person...and in a way you unconsciously prepare yourself . The kind of loss I am talking about is the sudden unexpected loss, the one that hits you like a semi truck going 80 and then stops and backs over you...this time slower......I hope and pray that you NEVER have to experience this type of loss....I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I am writing all this to remind you.....that we have a friend who has experienced this kind of loss......she has started a new blog...trying to reach out and help herself and others ......I am hoping that you will pop in a support her during this time...but also that you will spread the word.....there may be someone you know who has experienced a loss and could really use a blog like this.....misery loves company.....but it helps to know that what you are feeling is normal...you are not crazy ...and there is hope !
