Hi everyone!!...Sorry I had to take off the pics I had on here of my home in the new issue of the Country Sampler...Elizabeth emailed me and said it was a copyright infringement to have the pics of the magazine article on here...But she sent me these 3 pics that I could post of the original spread...So this is all I can show you ...

I have been getting emails from others that have gotten their copy in the mail..I'm still waiting on mine!!..So hopefully soon!..Or if it comes to our local Walmart..Whichever is first!!

It's been a sad time in our household for mama anyway!..I had to start Luke in school on Monday..My 3 year old in school..NEVER thought it would happen!!!...I wasn't going to send him til kindergarten like I did Taylor...But he has been struggling with putting his sentences together even though he says lots of words....So we made the decision that speech therapy would be good for him....I love his teacher and that has helped, but our babies and toddlers are only little for so long and I wanted him home...Once they start school they are in it for now on...So mama isn't happy right now, but the GOOD LORD knew I needed to keep busy, so I want to personally THANK all my customers who keep ordering and keep coming back for more offerings...I have so many orders to keep me busy this week and next!!..Thank you my friends!!!..

So while Luke was at his first day of school yesterday Taylor and I grabbed breakfast and went to Hobby Lobby....This is only 2nd time I have been there since it opened on January...I was hoping to find some more unfinished baskets, but no luck...I sold out on all the others...I had already searched Michael's and JoAnn's on Saturday...but I did find a goody I will be offering soon...I spent last night in the garage sanding...A little tease for you~~It has a hidden compartment...I haven't decided what to do with it yet, but something will hopefully come to me...

The other things I found were some neat frames that I painted and distressed....I'm thinking on what to put in them....I did bring one thing home for me..I bought a long shelf/tray that was in the decorating section..It looks like it is made out of old barn wood...It can be hung or laid on a table with drieds and fixins in each compartment....And it was 50% off, so it was only $7.50...I will try to get a picture made of it soon...

That is about it for now!..Just trying to keep my mind busy while missing my little boy!..I cried on the phone while telling my mom on Friday..No, balled like a baby telling her he is too little to go to school.....LOL....I know it is good for him, but I'm a stay at home mom that focuses everything around my family....But I can laugh when I hear my daughter say, "Mom's going to get her social life back!"...Well, for 2 1/2 hours every morning I guess I will, but that is about all the time I need til time to go back to get my baby boy...LOL

And thank you Sherrie!!!!...My sweet friend from South Carolina!..She has been sending me emails of encouragement and bringing a smile to my face...

Until next time!!~~hugs, Jen

On another note!...Tiger Woods is here in Augusta practicing for the Master's coming up in a few weeks!...It's that time of the year!
