Hello all my fellow SITStas! I am so excited to have you all over for a visit!
Around here, I like things to be pretty and practical. I believe there is joy in using beauty and art in everyday life and that everyone has creativity of some sort (yes, that means YOU!) I mostly write about my family and all sorts of crafty projects I have going. I like to quilt, knit, crochet, scrapbook, and I'll try just about any crafty thing at least once! I like to make art and craft for good causes and I'd love to get in touch with others who do too! It seems I am always finding a new project :)
I grew up 11 miles down a dusty road from a tiny country town in Colorado. I became a "jane of all trades, master of none" while in the Navy, college, graduate school, and being a high school teacher in the public school system. I am now blessed to be a stay at home mom and wife to a pastor in central Florida. I am in my first year of homeschooling our two elementary age kids (gratuitous photos follow!) Welcome!
Here are a few links to some of my favorite posts:

i agree that everyone has creativity!

Good morning and Congratulations on your SITS Day in the sun!
Your children's expressions are beautiful.
Enjoy the spotlight!
I am more of a morning person myself and I too don't like doing dishes. I love to cook but the dishes, that's another story.
Enjoy your SITS Day!
Bonne journée !
Congrats on your SITS Day! Sounds like you've had an interesting life! I always enjoy meeting other Christians through blogging. Off to read your posts now.
Congrats on your SITS day!! I can't wait to look around and see more. :)
I'm so inspired by your knitting projects! I keep wanting to try it, but I'm usually not very good at that kind of thing and I'm afraid I'd fail miserably lol.
Congrats on your SITS day, I look forward to poking around. I'm always in awe of crafty people like yourself, given that I don't have a crafty bone in my body! I tried knitting once, was able to knit a little coaster, and that's about as far as I got before I gave up. It was harder than I thought it would be!
happy sits day! nice blog;)
wish you a great week,
justyna
Congrats on your Sits day! I wish I could knit. I have had multiple people attempt to teach me over the years to no avail. You make some cute stuff girl! :)
Enjoy your SITS Day!
Good Morning SITS star! Congrats on your day as the FB:)
I really enjoyed looking through your posts and I just want to say that the one that stuck out the most was the one that showed the photo of your grandparents looking so lovingly at each other. Priceless!
Wishing you a wonderful day!

LOL at the Jane of all Trades; Master of None comment! That describes me!

Your children are beautiful...and you seem very creative. I'm envious! Writing is my only creative talent, unfortunately.
Happy SITS day. You've got some cute kiddos.

Congrats on your special day SITSta!
Good Morning, stopping by from SITS!
I would love to learn to knit or crochet but can not find the time to take a class and I am not one who can teach myself these kinds of things.
Well, you sound adorable! Can't wait to get into your posts. Quite a jump from CO to FL!! Hope the transition was smooth. And from one pastor's wife to another, have a great day SITSta!
Congratulations on your SITS day! I am loving the skirt that you made with the littlest pet shop piece on it!!
I like you!!! I'm an Army wife, I homeschool, and I'm in Florida... I lvoe meeting new firends!

Enjoy your day!

Oh, they are adorable!!!
Jane of all trades? Really? Are you handy with a hammer and fixin stuff too?
I always wanted to be "that" girl, but I'm more likely to hurt myself. HA.
I've got some creative genes from my mom, so that is awesome!
Happy SITS Day!!

Hey...Happy SITS day!!!
You have such a lovely blog...Have a great day!! :)
Ahh...a crafty mama after my own heart. My family is all from Colorado, still visit Canon City every year to see my Grandma and Pueblo for the rest of the crew : )
I'm working my butt off over here trying to get my craft on before Christmas -- homemade gifts are both fun and stress-inducing for me at this time of year!!
Happy SITS day!!
Fondly,
pink and green mama
MaryLea
I love all things crafty, too...especially scrapbooking!
Happy SITS Day!!
I'm a crocheter... so it's always fun to meet a fellow crafty person. :)

Happy SITS Day!!
Cute kids!
I wish I had the patience to learn to knit or do scrapbooking.
Great pics of your kids. Congrats on your SITS Feature Blogger day.
I also believe that everyone has a crafty gene in them, they just have to find it. I wish that I had learned how to quilt from my grandmother, but I was "too busy" at the time and I missed my chance.
Have a wonderful day.
Congratulations on your SITS feature! I hope you enjoy your day in the sun:-)
Super cute little stocking! Happy SITs day!

Happy SITS day! Please tell me how to follow your blog, I must know. I'm a homeschooling mom and a quilter and a writer.
Impressed with "Jane of all trades"! :)
What made you decide to start homeschooling, just curious.
Happy SITS Day! Enjoy the company. Your children are beautiful and it sounds like you have a wonderful life.

Congrats on your SITS Day! Have A Great Day.
Happy SITS Day! I hope you really enjoy it. Your children are very cute!
Mu mother is very crafty, she crochets and is quite good. I however am not so much anymore but today is all about you. Cute children, love the denim skirt. Good job on your SITS featured blogger day.
Happy SITS day! I talked my parents into homeschooling me for high school. Have you posted about why you decided to homeschool? I'd love to read about it.
Happy SITSday!!!
Happy SITS day!Love your blog!
Happy SITS Day!
I don't think I could ever homeschool our kids...I just don't have that kind of patience! ;)
Congrats on being the featured blogger. What a wonderful family you have!
Happy SITS Day! I love how you incorporate you family into your projects. I don't have kids yet, but I try to do that too. I find it so much more refreshing to make things for someone else. I'm also really excited about the homemade holidays by Sew, Mama, Sew!
I think homeschooling is wonderful. Most of my college students who were homeschooled were well-educated.

Congrats on your SITS day! I look forward to checking out your blog. I too am a creative "Jane of all trades!"

Happy SITS day! I am a scrapper and get lost in it--I especially love my scrappin' girls getaway weekends--scrappin' all night long, yummy food, massages and nothing to think about--have you ever done one??
Enjoy your time in the sun
I am so not crafty, but I hope you might be able to inspire me. You have a lovely family, by the way.
Have a happy SITS day!
Congrats on your SITS day! I love to do crafty things but don't have much time for it nowadays. I'm hoping as my kids get older I've have the time to do more!
Nice to "meet" you via blogland! Congrats on the homeschooling venture...I am a big fan of homeschooling! Happy Monday!
-Grace
Happy SITS day happy to meet you! You have a lovely blog here!
Hugs,
Brandy
Happy SITS day to you! I'm in school right now to become a high school teacher (social studies). Just curious to know what subject you taught. Have a fabulous, comment-filled day!
Happy SITS Day!!
Happy SITS Day!
Your children are adorable. I am sure they will follow in your crafty footsteps!
Happy SITS day.
Happy SITS day!! New follower here:) Your kids look like sweetiepies!
Congrats. on your SITS Day!!!Your kids are gorgeous!!! I am in Central Fl. too!Stop by!
Wow what cute kiddies. I can't imagine homeschooling. We battle over homework. Schooling would not be good. Will go have a look around. xx
Happy SITS Day!! Love the little stocking in your last post!
Happy SITS Day.
You have a wonderful family and a great blog. I love to do crafty things I just wish I had more time these days.
Happy Sits day to you!!
Happy Sits day to you!!
whew! just a little yarn project? I'd love, love the stocking pattern--so cute and I may be able to do it--although I'm only a scarf girl....
:*)
Love the stocking!
And your kiddos are adorable!
I once thought of homeschooling many moons ago (my kids are now 25 and 22) and the thought quickly passed. I applaud the parents that can and do homeschool. (I would have ended up in prison...love my girls, but we're all a bit on the stubborn side)
Happy SITS day! You've got some good lookin' kids! :)
Cute kids! Happy SITS day.
Very cute kids! It looks like y'all have a lot of fun!
Nice job. Do you have a tutorial for the little purse/bag? Happy SITS day.
You have a great family!! Congrats on being FB today. I hope you have a great SITS day!!!
Happy SITS Day to you my friend :)
Oh how I wish I could knit...but alas I will have to settle for sewing beause I do not have time to learn another hobby!
Visiting from SITS, happy FB day!
Congratulations on your SITS day. What cuties your kids are...I'm off to see your quilts.
Happy Sits day!!! Look forward to reading more from you...
Cute kids! I used to think that I was a craft reject. Everyone would make fun of me when I tried. And while I don't have much raw artistic ability and I hate any kind of crafts with fabric or needles, I have learned that I am quite creative. I love doing paper crafts and online design. So I agree with you!
Congrats on your SITS day! Cutie kids....
Have a great one!
Happy SITS day. I homeschool in Colorado now. We will have to compare 'where did you live' notes at some point.
Happy SITS day.
"Jane of all trades, master of none"? Rebecca, you've described me to a T! I know exactly how you feel. Now I have an expression to call myself. Love it!
Happy SITS day! :-)
P.S. -- I'm snagging your Christmas Countdown widget!! WOOHOO!!
Love the Christmas Countdown widget. It totally motivates me to start making some lists. Stopping by from SITS!!! I hope you have a fantastic week!
What have I missed?!!! What is SITS day? Dare I ask? Your children are just the sweetest!
Happy SITS Day from a fellow crazy busy mommy....
Happy SITS day! Love your blog and all the craftiness.
Happy SITS day ... I would love to learn to knit and be more crafty now after perusing your blog ... :-)
Those kids are adorable! I love your little denim skirt too. I am trying to learn how to knit again. I learned in 5th grade but for some reason after growing up and having a family now the steps have gotten lost in the day to day shuffle.
My best, Lynn
Congratulations on your SITSday!
I, too, am a Christian, a homeschool mom, and a quilter. Your children are adorable and your projects delightful! Thanks for sharing today :)
Lani
Your kids are beautiful! Hope your having fun on your SITS day!
Happy SITS Day! Enjoy your day in the spotlight. And I think I might be the first person you will "meet" who is truly not creative - at all. I'm not kidding.
Happy SITSday!!
Your children are darling--such adorable pictures!
Your children are beautiful! Happy SITS Day, crafty lady.
Great pics! Happy SITS day!
