Our BIG News...

We found out several weeks ago that we are expecting a baby!!! I think it has finally sunk in...maybe! I have been Soooo incredibly sleepy that if I wasn't pregnant, I'd be afraid I was narcoleptic! Other than the sleepiness and an upset stomach (and a few other minor early pregnancy changes) I have been feeling good!
We had fun spreading the news by showing everyone a picture like the one above. Mason is excited to have a new brother or sister! I will keep you updated on our little bean...if I can stay awake long enough!

Exciting News!

No, I'm not pregnant. (It's ok~I know that's the first thing you thought)

The Exciting News is....

I'm starting a new business!
I have either gone crazy or have found my calling, I can't decide which. If you personally know me, you probably know that I am a crafty scrapbooker. I also love to paint and since last May, I have wondered if I could/should/would start up a little business (that's almost a year of incubation time!) So I started painting gifts for friends here and there and have prayed over what it is I should do. Well, I'm getting the go-ahead, so here it is...

It's strictly an online business and since I'm just starting out, I will keep it local~serving Northwest Arkansas. I create original and custom artwork on canvas, funky frames, cute door hangers, personalized letters of the alphabet, and some other fun accessories.
So PLEASE visit my site http://www.fiddlesticksart.blogspot.com/ and check back frequently for updates. I will post new items as I complete them, but I will be posting some of my past work there very soon. Let me know if you have questions, suggestions or just a comment. This is both very exciting and scary for me, so anything you'd like to add, I would appreciate!

God was watching over this little girl...

Did anyone catch this story on the news tonight? Amanda in the video is my Sister-In-Law. She just moved into the house that the girl went to and was thankfully able to help her. It's too bad about her dad & sister. I was so saddened when I heard about this, but thankful to God that Wayne's sister & family were there so close to be able to help her. Please pray for the Harp family.

Nothing too exciting has been happening around here lately. Today Mom & I took Mason to get a haircut & it turned out cute. I think that's the big newsflash for now. Exciting, huh?

This is scary

Dismayed investors sent the Dow Jones industrials plunging 777 points, the most ever for a single day.
