Thanks Meg & Merry Christmas!
Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - okay i just figured out what you should do to raise money for those kiddos for college. a craft book! you would rock a craft book. i’d totally buy it. you could practically do it from old posts. something to think on. lovin’ ya girlie…it’s a winter blizzard up here.

Cass M - Gotta say … you look so, so pretty in that close up photo, wearing the flower …
Just sayin’.
ali - I was going to comment yesterday on you always having to defend yourself. Don’t do it anymore!!!! You have the right to write what you want and if people have a problem with it, they don’t have to read your blog. It still boggles my mind that people have negative opinions about you.
-Really people? REALLY? (In my Amy Poehler SNL skit voice).
Danielle - I just ordered a flower from her shop! They are so pretty!!!! Thanks for sharing… her shop is reasonable and it’s for a good cause! Also, I have been following your blog for the past year and love it! I saw your post yesterday, everything you post is awesome. Your blog has been my favorite since day 1 of reading it!
jennibell - I love all your craftiness. I work in childcare at our YMCA and use a ton of your craft ideas for the 6+ age group. The craft stick Christmas tree just went on my list!!!
Make that nap this weekend a PRIORITY!!!
Carrie - I love this blog! About the ads – honestly, never really noticed them. The thing is, it’s not really my business anyhow. Coming to your blog and reading about your life is a choice, and if the change bothers people, they should make the choice to move on. Not to make you feel guilty or bad. With or without the ads I always feel connected and like a part of your world and family.
I am excited for craft week. We don’t have kids, but I use some of the ideas with my nieces.
by the way…You look absolutely gorgeous in that picture of you with the flower pin on.
MommaH - Ohho! There’s that beautiful woman with a beautiful flower in the blog post again. Love seeing your here!
BTW – What HAS Waffle been up to?
Irene - Meg – you look seriously GORGEOUS in that photo with the flower!
sharron - just read the post below.
i have to admit some blogs are so ad ridden that they are overwhelming but i have not even noticed your ads..they are not taking over….too busy reading inspiration and looking at the fab photos!
love that you have 5 children and always make everything fun!!
even your dirty laundry is colorful!!
have fun at your craft class and looking forward to your craftiness with the kiddos next week!
blessings~
Katy Stone - your christmas class looks like so much fun! i cant wait to hear what you learn! 🙂
sue - Any chance after you have planned your craft week you could share your ideas.I would love to see what you come up with.
