Am I Proud? Yes, As a Matter of Fact, I AM!

She gets a little embarrassed when I brag about her, but I just can't help myself! I'm sure if I had more children, I'd love them just as much, but she's my only one and my world! I think she's beautiful, but more importantly, she's one of the nicest kids I know.

Life and Goodwill




I had good intentions. Actually, I have them a LOT! I went to the super-awesome Goodwill Shop and Hop with a bunch of really cool ladies and thoroughly enjoyed myself! We had one month to take our finds and come up with a finished product. The event was hosted by these lovely ladies above... Beckie @ Infarrantly Creative and Sarah @ Thrifty Decor Chick. (Gotta check them out!)





We started our day at Bucca De Beppo (YUM!) I sat at a table with a group of ladies that I'd never met, we chatted and got to know each other a little before we started out in the rain for our big adventure. I was sooo proud of myself for remembering to take my camera. We got to the first Goodwill, and the camera died when I attempted to take the first picture. Guess who forgot the new batteries? So needless to say, I've borrowed these pics from the other gal's posts. (Thanks!)





Seriously! It was this much fun all day! In spite of the steady rain, we found some amazing bargains and I met some fabulously creative women. I can't wait to go again!

Have I completed my projects? No. Procrastinator that I am, I thought "Oh, I'll have plenty of time". THEN I got bronchitis, sinusitis, missed over one week of work and in the middle of all that, my Papaw passed away. So now I'm back, ready to take on the world, and hopefully finish those projects!



Thanks to Beckie and Sarah, You Guys Rock!!!!


P.S. I don't want to forget to mention the incredible swag bags we were given. I loved it! I can't take a picture of mine because my daughter dipped into it, but check out Beckie or Sarah's blog to see all of the items.

No Excuse...

I have no excuse. I have been busy, but not so busy that I couldn't blog. I just haven't been feeling it. I need to get off my bum and blog about the SUPER AWESOME Goodwill Shop and Hop (and I will!) Today I'm going to share one of
my favorite fellow bloggers. This cracked me up all day!

Indeed, a picture is worth a thousand words!

I'm Not Ready!!!



When did this happen? How did my little girl grow up so fast? This picture is taken at her best friend's house before her first semi-formal dance. I thought my heart might burst. She makes me so proud. As beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. I am blessed beyond compare.

We Interrupt This Blog...

Much to my dismay, my 3 year old computer has crashed in a major way. I have been without it for 4 days and counting. I lost everything on it and it's still not clear if I will be able to use it. I'll keep you updated and most likely, it will be the weekend before I can download everything I need and be back up and running.

A Super Exciting New Venture!!!




I have to say it. I wimped out. My back couldn't handle standing for 8 hours on concrete floors at the second job I picked up. I fought with myself for one week, trying to decide if I should give it another go. But the two days it took to recover from one shift were enough to make that decision for me. So I had to come up with a Plan B.

I joined Tastefully Simple as a new consultant. My kit just arrived today and I'm so excited! My first party is tomorrow evening and I'm the host. I've been a fan of several of their items for quite a while. You may have seen my earlier post about the beer bread... it's awesome! There are so many tasty treats that are simple to make by adding one or two ingredients. My favorite way to cook!!!



Please check out my web page and browse the catalog. (Of course my feelings won't be hurt if you decide to place an order... ;)

When you go to my web page, view the catalog, place an order. After you place the order, it should ask you if you would like to attach the order to a host... click yes and search for Devonay Potter. If that doesn't work, let me know, and I will help!

A Sneak Peek (Just for Jodi)

This is the "before" picture. Sorry for the darkness. My kitchen doesn't have the
best lighting.





(That's right folks! $1.50!!)


This is the blurry "during" picture... Mod Podge is so awesome!







Stay tuned, I'll be posting the after pics this week!
