Good Evening!!

The pictures that I put on here yesterday were of the engraving pictures that I am working on. The pictures didn't enlarge like I wanted, sorry. But, on them you can KIND OF see little lines on them. There is a LOT of detail to them and you take a engraving knife and you scrape off every line. It is very time consuming, but the end result is very BEAUTIFUL. You can go to www.marymaxim.com and where the search bar is put in engraving. There will be 10 pictures just pick one and see some of the lines on it.

The kids are getting one each for Christmas. A couple of years ago I made Elizabeth an angel (because she is so beautiful and our angel), Bobby got a tiger (because he loves them), Michael got an owl (because he stays up all night long), and Trey got a monkey face (because he has always been our monkey-butt). I also crocheted them slippers. Bill gave Elizabeth some of his outside crafts and indoor crafts. They are cheap, but we really like to MAKE our Christmas gifts. That way when something happens to one of us, HOPEFULLY, the kids will look at the crafts and think of us.

So that is what they are. Thank you, cookinsforme. I keep forgetting that it is not only Bill's family that looks at my blog. Thank you it really means alot. The link on my blog that says Bill's blog, that is my baby's blog. Povertyflats USA is Bill's mom and step-dad, Frances and Don. And Tangled Mane Ranch is Bill's sister, Linda and Don. So welcome and I hope you take your shoes off, take a deep breath, and just relax.

We delivered newspapers this morning and I had to go to work at 6-1 today. I work at Caseys' and pee-hole kind of convenience store. I have worked there since February and have been full-time for 6 months. So it pays the bills and gives me grey hair. FULFILLING, huh?! LOL!! When we got home we both laid down and didn't get up until 5:30 when the phone rang and it was the lady that delivers our papers. So guess what, we have to deliver tomorrow and maybe Thursday and Friday. So that money will get us to Friday and then I get paid. So God is great and answers our prayers!!!

I am going to get off of here. My Baby has made supper and it smells wonderful. Hamburgers and macaroni and cheese!! I love hamburgers. So does Michael. So I am getting off of here. Have a goodnight and hold your Baby real tight.

Roxi, now I understand what they are. I like the seal pup there at marymaxim. Neat idea! I have read Bill's blog, too, and his mom and stepdad's and sister's blogs. No, I'm not stalking y'all but I followed the links and saw the blogs. :) No one else in my family blogs, I don't think so I like the concept of multiple family members doing it.

Anyway, have a geat day!

Hi Roxi, Man I would hate to get up at that hour of the morning to deliver some ole crank the paper. They would be lucky of the got the thing at all much less in the exact spot the want it put. Oh well let's just say I am NOT a morning person especially when morning comes in the middle of the night. Has been a beautiful day here just about over tho and i understand tomorrow wont be nearly as nice. To be cold. Oh well warm can't last forever. I think the bear is just great. I am a craft person too just don't seem to have time. Must go for now tho but I do enjoy reading your blog. Must go now love ya MOM
