It's time to party! Welcome to all of you who have never been to the "nest" before! This is just my little place where I write about the things I love the most. Things like my family, my church, my God, my hobbies, my books, and my sweet dog Josey. I joined the blogging world a little over a year ago - my I just never knew! I have had the best time meeting great people, learning new recipes and ideas, sharing prayer requests, and just having fun. Here are some things to know about me:I love God with my whole heart.
I am married to the best guy in the world - and he happens to be a preacher. That makes me a preachers wife - and it's been a good life. God has blessed us greatly.
I have 4 amazing daughters. And two amazing sons-in-law.
I am going to be a grandmother TWICE this year. I can hardly believe it - my heart is just so full sometimes! I sense that my life is going to change for the better Big Time!
I love to read. I love to sew. I love to quilt. I love to garden. I love my kitchen. In fact I'm not sure who my BFF is - my Bernina or my KitchenAid.
I work outside the home. I don't love it so much.
I love my sweet dog Josey. She is a little Yorkshire Terrier and has the sweetest little personality. And she doesn't think I do anything wrong. Ever.
I'm so glad you stopped by. To celebrate I am going to have 3 give-aways. The first prize is a little Mary Engelbreit photo album. Second, a stack of fun fat-quarters (fabric), and third a pattern for felt Christmas stocking ornaments. Because it is never too early to start making Christmas ornaments!
I will use the random number generator to choose my winners. Three winners. Three prizes. Just leave a comment telling me which prize you would like the most! And you MUST leave an email address or a blog address so I can notify you.
Feel free to browse through my blog and get to know me better - I look forward to visiting you too.
Party on!

I totally agree that it's never to early for Christmas crafts. I would love the stockings are just what I've been looking for.
Hi! What a fun blog party - so neat to meet new people and check out great blogs. Your little yorkie is ADORABLE! Aren't dogs the best friends?
Well I would be so grateful to win the Mary Engelbreit album because my mom and are both crazy about ME and I would fill it full of pics of she and I and then give it to her for her birthday. I know she'd love it!
Your Josey is so sweet! She's lovely!

I would love to have the Mary Engelbreit item! I am so glad your retreat was so awesome. And I'd love to know what blog posts you read! That was a great idea. So many of our friends out there are such amazing writers.
Have a wonderful Sunday!
I'm slowly catching up on my blogging and wanted to thank you for your comment/congrats ref the birth of Lucas! :)
How exciting to read that you're expecting two grandchildren this year!
I am so glad you left your number on my blog when you came by today. Congratulations on your coming grandbabies! I have seven of them now. My husband is a pastor too, but currently serving on my Son-in-law's church board until they are up and running. I am glad I got to know you.

Thanks for doing this! I love photo albums, so that would be my choice!
I love your little dog he is so cute! I used to be a dogwasher (I know, weird job) and had so much fun playing with the Yorkies. I would love to be entered in your contest for the fat quarters.
Such a great post, Robin! I don't think I've ever seen a picture of all your girls (and guys) together. You have such a beautiful family. How nice to have so many girls:) I'm not going to put my name in the drawing, because I'm still enjoying my subscription, so I'll let someone have a chance. I LOVE the magazine by the way, and think of you when each new issue comes in the mail!
I like all of your party favors - so I'd be happy to win any of the three.
It sounds like we have a lot of the same interests I'll have to stop back by and see what else you have going on.
My email isn't published but if I win and you leave a comment on my blog I'll give it to you!
Ill take the puppy! Too cute!

Congratulations on your grandbabies - my mother couldn't wait for hers to be born, either - thank you so much for opening up your blog to new visitors and enjoy the rest of your week!
I love the pictures! Fun to see your family and hubby! It's going to be such a fun year for you with the babies coming.
I didn't do the blog party thing but if I can enter one of your drawings put me in for the fabric please!
Are her eyes really that green??? Josey I mean :)
I want a Yorkie so bad. I'll have to wait until the kids are bigger. I'd like the Fat Quarters best since my current obsession is making quilts and blankets.

Hello! Congrats on becoming a grandma - and twice this year! Is it from twins are two of your daughters pregnant?
I too love to sew and craft. I totally understand that the Bernina is like a BFF!
And a giveaway? That's just an extra surprise - I would gladly take the fat quarters or the ornament directions off your hands! LOL
I can see we share the same interest..like all of them except the dog I have cats.

Great post! Hope your enjoying the party! I’ve been meeting tons of new people! Hope to try to visit at least half of them before Friday! You never know when you may meet a forever friend. Pop by for a visit if you get a chance! Enjoy your day!
Hi! I just dropped in for the party. Thanks for hosting a giveaway! All the prizes are great, but I think I like the album the best.
Oh, pick me for the fat quarters. Fabric is fun!
Have fun in the party!
I love Mary Engelbreit! Great blog!

Wow---my dad had 3 grand kids born in the same year. Now, for me it was my first child, but it was my brother's and sister's last child. My brother's little girl was born in June, my sister had a boy in August and my little one was born in October (my sil on my husband's side even had a baby girl that year, so our family grew by leaps and bounds!!).
I think I would like to have the pattern most. I've started doing crafts with my son and he loves it. I'm not very crafty, but I think I might be able to handle felt ornaments!!
If you get a chance, stop by my party post to check out my giveaway!!
