A relaxing night at home

Tonight was great... I got to go home after picking my daughter up from play practice and cook supper. Four of us were there. Collin had gone to a Bible Study tonight. It is so unusual for me to get home in time to cook supper that it is a treat to do so. I actually love to cook, but rarely have time. When we go camping I usually cook the whole time we are there. We have some of our best meals while we are camping! So, tonight I am praising God for the small things... being home early enough to cook and sharing a meal with my husband and 2 of our children.

I'm still getting ready for the show Saturday. I am putting together a gift basket and a couple of gift bags to give away this weekend. If you are in the area, come by the Randolph/Asheboro YMCA and visit us @ Paisley Trading Co.

If you are not nearby, visit us online. You can do some early Christmas shopping at my Etsy shop... Paisley Trading Co. The monogram necklaces make great teacher gifts

It looks like it is going to be a busy weekend. I hope to get some cooking and a little crafting in sometime. I hope everyone has a great night!

Blessings,

Just a thought for the morning...

Psalm 100:1-5 "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." No matter what is going on around me, if I just take a little time each morning to thank God for all He has done and praise Him, then everything else seems so much better! Have a blessed day!

Catching up!

I know it's been a while since my last post.  We are trying to sell our house and busy packing up all of the "excess stuff" that makes it look over full!  What a job.  The cowgirl tea party went great!  They had sweet tea and lemonade in mason jars (everyone got to take one home afterwards) and they had cake out of the small jelly jars.  I think they had fun!

Now I am getting ready for a show this Saturday at our local YMCA.  They are hosting a craft show and I am hoping to sell a lot of necklaces!  If you haven't seen them, please check out my Etsy page:  Paisley Trading Co.  You can get to it from my website, paisleytrading.com.  I'm hoping everyone comes out ready to buy some cute Christmas gifts!  If you are in the area, come by between 8 am and 4 pm at the Randolph/Asheboro YMCA.  We will be giving away a couple of prizes... so be sure to come by and enter to win!

Amidst all of this chaos, I am reminded that I need to slow down and have some quiet time studying my Bible and just listening for God.  Sometimes, being still and quiet is the hardest thing in the world.  I thrive on constant motion.  After spending a little time just being still, though, I feel so revived and ready to take on the world again.  Although, I know I don't have to take on the world.  God does that for me.  All I have to do is have faith to believe He does!  Psalm 46:10-11, "He says, "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."  The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."

Have a peaceful and blessed evening!

The Redneck... I mean Cowgirl Tea Party!

The invitations went out.  Now to get the mason jars done.  I need all the pink glitter I can find.  We are having as much fun planning this one as the girls will have at the party!  I will post more pictures as we go this week leading up the big day on Saturday!  I hope everyone is having a great Monday so far!

"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me.  My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise Him."  Psalm 28:7

Creating A "Cowgirl Tea Party"

It is tradition around here that the girls have a tea party for their 6th birthday.  For the youngest one, we decided to try something a little different.  We are drinking sweet tea out of mason jars!  That just seems to fit us better!  "Cassie's Cowgirl Tea Party"  I have been hitting up Pinterest and finding so many awesome ideas that I don't know where to start!  I have the invitations done and handed out.  I will post some pics and ideas as I go.  The party is September 21, so I have a week and a half to get this done.  Karsan (my 13 year old) is very excited to help with this one!

I hope everyone has a great evening!

Blessings,

I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed day!
