Busy Being Blessed

Blog Contest!

well, it’s finally here! the sites (Blessed Mama Creations & lil’ Characters) are not completely done, but they are done enough that i NEED to get this posted. all shipping orders MUST be ordered by Dec. 4 in order to get to the customer in time for Christmas. so i figured i can’t sit on this any longer!

i am offering a personalized/photo gift to a winner. it starts today – it will last until next sat, and i’ll “draw” a name next sunday. :) i don’t know how everyone else does their fancy-smancy contests, but here’s mine:

  • log in (if you’ve never been before, register first of course)
  • tell me that you want to be entered, and include the blog page url in which this post is mentioned
  • if you do not have a blog, state that, then email 5-10 friends telling them about this contest. email me a cc (carbon copy)

you could win one of the following:

  • a personalized/photo bib
  • a set of personalized/photo button earrings
  • a personalized/photo button necklace
  • a personalized/photo ornament
  • a personalized/photo mousepad

may the best person win!! :D

feel free to check out all the things we offer on the stores! :)

BTW: if you are using IE and the sidebar shows up on the bottom, please forgive me. i have tried and tried to fix it – i don’t know why it’s doing that. if you click register or login, it should show up correctly.

In Need of Guinea Pigs!

ok i know i haven’t had many visitors lately, but i hope that will change soon, at least for a few days. i’m going to have my own blog contest! but not until the sites are totally up and running and perfect. so you’d better be on the lookout!

jerry and i are almost done with the stores. i pretty much have done what i can do – now jerry just needs some time to work on them. he would have been done with them by tonight, but he had to go into work early (he has the nursing home off m t w and only works fed-ex, but he had to go into fed-ex for a class that he took two years ago but wasn’t credited  Whiner but let’s not talk about that right now!!!!) so we’ll see when it will happen. i can still be adding more products – there are many more designs to add!
BUT anyway, the point of this post, i would love a few guinea pigs to help me find any bugs, glitches, confusing things, etc!!

and if by chance you see something you want to buy, please let me know. it is fine to buy without the stores working! in fact, i’d love to have an order! remember friends and family get 15% off.

hugs!

AAWWWWW

i just had to post this before i forget…

we always say “yes i love you, even when you’re not being nice” after they misbehave. jeremiah and josiah were just playing very mean with each other, and finally they stopped. josiah then said, in his adorable little voice “i lub you”. jeremiah looked at him thoughtfully for a minute and said “i love you too, even when you weren’t nice”.

AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. grace in action. ;)

more later!

“I Quit!”

no, i’m not quitting blogging. though, if i blogged based on comments, i might consider quitting! ;)

“i quit” is jeremiah’s new phrase. i have NO idea where he got it, but when he’s frustrated about something (usually too tired to handle anything), this is what he says! it is so hard not to laugh out loud when he says things like that…

josiah’s cuteness of the week is that he says “oosic” for music and “eeano” for piano. the boy is a doll. he is also three hands-full. he is so busy and such a SPIRITED child. we are with-holding milk products to see if they are one of the causes of his behavior problems. i have noticed a slight change, but nothing definitive yet. i hear it takes 3-4 weeks or even longer to see a change.

jamin is getting bigger and bigger. i can’t believe how fast he’s growing. he’s, what, 12 weeks today, and tomorrow he’ll be 3 months. isn’t that INSANE?! yesterday i took him for his 3 month portraits with a free coupon at olan mills. i think i might be able to do better tomorrow. ;) he is sooooooooooo cute i can’t get over it sometimes.

the boys are really enjoying him lately. now that he smiles at them and coos, hoos and goos at them, lol, they think he’s the cutest thing! they are ALWAYS saying they love him. :lovey:

we are still trying to get the websites up and running. i’ve done a lot on lilcharacters, but it’s still not done yet. if you would like me to send you a pic sample of something let me know! you can order even when the site isn’t done!
