Home Sweet Not A Dorm Room

I know it has been a few weeks since I posted but being sick and moving causes these things to happen! I am now back at OVU for my LAST year of school! (woot woot) It's still strange for me being at this school instead of Faulkner and I really miss everyone from down there but I really do feel God brought me up here for a reason and I am determined to make the best of it. I am all moved into my new place and I am blessed to have such a wonderful family to live with here at OVU. Tomorrow I go up to school to do some last minute class switches and start looking into the cost of books (yay). Hopefully it doesn't drain my bank account too much!

My jewelry selling is still going on fairly well, currently I'm trying to just stock up on stuff for the festival at the end of September that I am going to. I also plan on getting a weekend set up for Rinky Dinks, probably for mid October. I have been busy working on some holiday stuff! I made some wonderful candy corn and pumpkin beads the other day. I also want to look into making some reindeer beads!

Christmas bulbs =]

Last taste of Summer <3

I make some stud earrings now too!!

Christmas Lights!

Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treat =]


I was reading one of my books today and it really got me thinking and I just wanted to share a little bit before I finish. Where do you keep God in your daily life? Do you keep Him involved in your life? Do you talk to Him about your problems? In my book it talked about how God is everywhere with us even if we choose not to acknowledge His presence. He is everywhere that we have been and everywhere that we will ever go. He knows more about us then we know about ourselves, down to the number of hairs on your head! I know this is something that I struggle with sometimes but we need to remember to earnestly seek Him throughout our daily lives and strive to build a relationship with Him. He will always be right beside us on our daily walk of life, through trials, laughs, hurts, everything and He will see us through. Remember to keep Him close and involve Him in your life.

Life In The Fast Lane

What a week! I have been so busy the last few days, my sister got married on Friday and then we have all 7 of my nieces and nephews on Saturday. It was quite an adventure taking all 7 of kids to the zoo on Saturday but it was lots of fun! I'm looking forward to things slowing down soon, but realistically that's not going to happen, haha! I move back down for school in 2 weeks, which is crazy! I'm hoping to start selling at Rinky Dinks mid September! However it may have to wait until the beginning of October. 

I started making some new stuff that includes feather earrings! They seem to be pretty nice and I think people will like them a lot, hopefully!

We all got our nails done for the wedding.
 Above we have Alana and below we have the beautiful bride!
All the girls after getting our nails done.

 The day of the wedding I was put on babysitting duty while everyone decorated. It's crazy how much more hectic a wedding can be when you have 7 kids that are there "helping" get ready for the wedding haha!

We went for a fun little walk together!
The lakes and playground at Twin Lakes Park made for a great time with the kiddos.



It also gave me lots of picture opportunities!

Don't they look happy, haha.

After a while we all had to go get ready though, play time can't last forever!

My two oldest nieces and I. They were so beautiful. =]

Getting all beautified =] She sure did make for a beautiful Bride!

I love this picture of Bug haha =] He is so handsome.
Getting his tux on =] He looks adorable!

Do Not Fear

"De manera que podemos decir confiadamente:
El Senor es me ayudador; no temere
Lo que me pueda hacer el hombre."

"So we can confidently say:
The Lord is my helper, I will no fear;
what can man do to me?"
Hebrews 13: 6

I came across this verse today during my daily chapter reading, I read Hebrews 13 because it is where my Uncle Ben had taught his lesson from this morning at church. I really just love the message of this verse. No matter what people of this world do we have the ability to overcome it through God. We have no reasons to worry about anything and that really should be a comfort to us. I wish I could somehow constantly remember this verse because I so often worry about things when what I really need to do is confidently rely on God as this verse states. I have an awesome God who created this world and gave His son so that I could one day be with Him in heaven.

Hopefully you can always remember that God is your helper and that with Him we have absolutely NOTHING to fear!  


Picture Time!

Today we celebrated my niece's 5th and my nephews 1st birthdays =]
