I have very talented friends


I cannot say enough about my talented friends. It never ceases to amaze me how great they are. I have friends with mad scrap booking skills, photography skills, sewing skills, singing skills, art skills, writing skills, and teaching skills. Recently I have become friends with a woman that has MAJOR bead making skills.

I have been admiring Heather's work from afar, aka blog lurking, and finally got up enough guts to talk with her about it. She makes her beads by hand from glass. They are gorgeous! That really doesn't begin to describe them. The patience and concentration she must have to make these every day is amazing. I am trying to get an invite to see how she works her magic.

Well, being the thrifty girl I am, I approached her about bartering beads for purses. She was totally on board for that. She recently came out with a new line of beads that is called Heather's Handbags... Right up my alley!! SOOO I asked if she could make one that looked like my Sacks By Syndy logo... SCORE! Heather did not disappoint. This is what she came up with...


Told you it was amazing. Seriously.

Thanks Heather for the great beads, now if I would just get over my fear of putting them on something, I'm so afraid that I'm gonna break them. The children have been thoroughly threatened about touching them, they know they will die a slow and painful death if they get broken.

Here's Heather's link if any of you are interested and I'm putting her ETSY html on my side bar if you wanna order!! Dragonfly Lampworks

Very cool. Those beads are rad. (Yes, very 80's, I know. Rad. But they are!)

And your daughter having musical skills? Good for her, and you are a good momma for supporting her. (Sorry, I'm catching up and didn't feel like commenting all over the place.)

AND, that is a cute bag- love the bright colors. I LOVE fall colors, and I love spring colors... but I especially love when it's time to change color palettes. So refreshing.

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
