Obviously....

I am a bad blogger!! One thing about it is that I don't have internet at home. That makes it hard to update! But I do have soooooo much to show you guys! I have been busily preparing X-mas presents for people this year & I have started a new & SO fun project! But first I will tell you how everyone is! I have started work again! I love to work & I am sooo glad I love my job! I am one of the fortunate few who get to do what they love & jobs are plentiful! I work at Saginaw's which is a very nice restaurant in Elma. They have the CUTEST little shop right in the retaurant too.... I spend alot of my tips there!! The little shop is called PB&J's. I encourage you to check out the website to Saginaw's. The food is incredible & Lou's desserts are a highlight! She is an amazing chef! She needs to go on the show Top Chef!! Taryn is in South Carolina for Christmas & I hope her dad is teaching her how to drive a stickshift!! I don't feel like I am old enough to have a daughter with a driving permit & in 6 months she will be cruising around in MY car!! AHHHHHH! I am glad she's probably the most mature person in our household!! She is getting ready to go to Disneyland to perform with the drillteam in April. She is also GORGEOUS. Where do I start with Sheridan? The girl is in the hospital right now as I write this! What should've been a random catheter change turned into a 3 day stay.... the transplant is a go & the wait is on. She's a trooper! She has started equestrian team & she is riding 3 of our horses for different events... She's doing equestrian drill, gaming, & cowhorse events. She rides 3 or 4 days a week & what a rush it is to see this girl ride! Fast & faster is what she knows! I am excited to give her her x-mas present... since she probably won't read this I will tell you that it is a saddle pad that she has wanted for about two years. We have all been VERY busy & trying to get on with life since last winter & summer were spent in the hospital. She deserves to ride fast after what she's been thru... she's just catching up! Anyway, on to finding time to make x-mas presents... I would love to *buy* time!! I would ask Santa for more time if it was possible in either case! That is my one impossible wish.... more time! I have done a couple of charm swaps & I mailed them in late.... I hate that but it just always happens... so I am going to wait before I sign up for anymore till after the holidays! But now I have some orders for some banners that I am making... Sooooo cute. I have taken to making glittery &/or decorated paper signs, names cool words, etc & making banners out of them. I am decorating them with tons of vintage ribbon, vintage buttons, crystals, metal bits, stickers, pictures, etc... the possibilities are endless on how to bling these out! I love it!! So, after I have made up a few more of them I will get some pics & post them! They go as fast as I make them! I also made some super cute legwarmers out of a wool sweater... (i washed it, you know what happens with it then!) I felted a name going down the side & put bead & all the fun things on them too. So, here's what I do so if anyone has an old sweater DON'T throw it away! Just cut the sleeves off & wa-la you have legwarmers!! Take the rest of it & make a matching bag!! Let me tell you,no sweater was safe there for awhile! I got cold last winter & had to stop cutting them up! My legs stayed warm tho & I always had the perfect matched handbag! Watch out Louie V.!!! Let's see what else? Oh yeah the horrible storm that hit our area... what a nightmare!! The roof blew off the bedroom of the big house, our field flooded, the second biggest tree in my yard blew over, luckily it blew between the house & the 5th wheel! it would have destroyed either one had the wind blew it over on them instead. We only lost power for like a day & a half. the roof also blew off Sinclares (my baby goat) & Henny Penny's (my one chicken) house. The 7 horses all huddled up & stayed calm... & my baby bull calf was just worried about getting fed. Thank god I am not bottle feeding the little rascal anymore! He would have blown away out in that weather!! I got him when he was just a day old & he is about 8 weeks old now. I walk him with a halter & lead rope but he gets really excited & takes off running & bucking & drags me or whoever all around the field! He's really cute! So, all in all we managed ok during the storm. We are thankful. Anyway, long blog & I will post pics soon! Happy Holidays to Everybody!!! Heather & Family!!!

Oh It has been so long since you posted Heather and I am glad to hear about so many good and fun things!

I love the descriptions of your farm.
Also, the job you have sounds cool too!
Have things gone well around the house since you last posted?

The holidays were quite busy, and I am still catching up on things.

I will be submitting some of your charms along with finished pieces of charm jewelry to magazines later in the year.
Wish us luck!
Amber
