Well friends, it's been long enough. Figured I'd better post something before they shut me down for disuse! :) A lot has happened since my last post. The appointment at Birmingham went well. I am approved to donate a kidney, just haven't decided to yet. I felt pretty certain that it was what I was supposed to do, but Keith didn't have peace about it, so I've postponed my decision. I feel that if God wants me to do it, he will not only give me peace, but also my family (especially Keith). So, with that out of the way I guess, I've had a lot of other things going on. My sister was with me last week. I really enjoyed having her family here. It's always exciting! My great grandmother passed away July 4th, so we traveled down July 5th (Keith's birthday). He didn't want to travel that day but we made a deal. He said if he could grill out with someone and have birthday cake he would drive down.. SO, Jennifer was so kind to step up to the plate. Jason grilled some awesome burgers, and Jennifer made a yummy cake (to Keith's specifications, of course!). July 6th we drove the rest of the way and attended my grandmothers visitation. It went well. After that we (Aunt Pat, James, Ben, his girlfriend, BreAnne, Keith, and myself) went and ate. Everyone was acting so goofy. It was a lot of fun! We stayed that night with Aunt Pat. The next day (7th) was the funeral. Keith and I sang Beulah Land, and my dad preached the service. We drove that evening back to Jennifer's and had another great visit. Wasn't near long enough. I wanted to spend more time with everyone. (Including BreAnne, Aunt Pat, and the rest of my family) I'm hoping we are able to make it back down for my birthday.

Wow, now that I've written a book I'll share some crafts! :) First up, I finished my lamp!!!


Next, is a new hair clip! It's so cute. Pictures do it no justice. I used some ribbon that Aunt Pat gave me. I'm hoping to get some more coordinating ribbon and do some more!


I will probably put it with a headband also. Not black, but it's all I had at the moment.


Here is the same folds of ribbon, just with a wider size. It obviously didn't turn out like I planned, so I'm looking to use it for something else. Does this look okay? I really want some feedback on it. I think it's alright, Keith says No...


Anyways, that's all for now! Hope everyone has had a great week. Hopefully I'll be able to post more often now that things have slowed down a bit.
