I have started taking some of my work and adding scripture to them. I love this one.

I would like to make an entire collection and then have them printed as note cards. What do you think?

Year in Review!!

I really find it hard to believe that 2008 is over. Brad and I were talking and we both agree this was probably one of our toughest years since we have moved. I know for many people this past year was not so great financially. That is where we were definately hurt the most. Nevertheless, God proved Himself faithful once again! He always has a way of doing that! We have endured some harsh things this year all of which have made me feel so blessed. Although I don't look forward to the valley's of life, I know that the valley is surrounded by mountaintops. Our preacher has been doing a series of sermons of the mountaintops and I have learned so much. I feel this past year, I have grown more in my christian walk, still very far from where I need to be. I have fallen more and more in love with my husband. I truly honor him and admire his hard work and his willingness to do whatever it takes to support his family. I have learned to just enjoy my children more this past year. I don't want them to grow up and my heart literally hurts at the thought of it. I have seen so many changes in Tyler this past year. Not bad changes, just "I am growing up, mom" changes. He is such a blessing to our lives. He truly wants to please the Lord in everything he does. He loves the Lord because he wants to , not because he has to. Little Emma is growing so fast. She has so much personality. This past year Emma finally got potty trained....Amen, Hallalujah and Amen!! She is such a cutie pie and she keeps us so entertained. We are so blessed. Brad and I don't deserve one minute of our lives. Our lives aren't fabulous, or glamourous, but they are definately filled with love, laughter, and they are OUR lives!!! I am excited to see what the Lord has planned for us in 2009!

Hope everyone had a terrific Christmas. Thanks to all of my family who traveled to come and spend this time with us. It was great seeing all of the kids together!

Merry Christmas!

Dear Friends and Family,

Well another year has almost come and gone. For the Williamson Family it has been a pretty good year. We of course, like many other hard working Americans have felt the hurt of the economy. Nevertheless, we are blessed beyond measure. Blessed to live in this wonderful country that is "free" to me, but definately bought with a price by many others. I hope all of our men and woman serving our country have a blessed christmas. I can't imagine being away from my family and children during this time. I am also blessed with the gift of salvation. Something that was also "free" to me, but bought with a heavy price! I thank God he sent His only Son to die for my sins, past, present and future. I hope everyone takes the time this week to step away from the "commercialized christmas" we have around us and truly take hold on what a miracle this season really is. Jesus truly is the reason for the season! Happy Birthday Jesus! May all of our friends and family have a wonderful Christmas. We love you all!!

The Williamson Family

Christmas Decorations and Party

Here is the tree. Since this picture I have added brown glass balls, glitter brown snowflakes and blue glass balls, all gifts from my sweet friend, Valerie! So all the "bare" spots are beautifully filled in now!

Here is one of the many ornaments I made for the tree this year. It was done it brown, blue, amber and gold!

This was the beverage jar Valerie let me borrow, I filled it with sweet tea, it was beautiful!


The table with all of the fabulous food!

Here are a few pics from the Christmas party I hosted at my house for the ladies of my church. We had so much fun and the food was incredible. The house really looked pretty and everyone looked fabulous in their UGLY christmas sweaters(which was the theme of the party). It is really cold here and I am really getting excited to have my family come for the week of Christmas. On a somber note, my pastor's wife, Mrs. Valerie, is going to be having surgery on Tuesday to remove the 2 masses in her colon. Please remember to pray for her and her family! God is still in control!

It Snowed!

December 1,2008....the first signs of snow. Tyler and Emma were so excited when they heard me holler, it's snowing. It was really coming down, but the wind was blowing so hard, nothing stuck. It went as fast as it came! It lasted a good 10-12 minutes. Nothing to brag, I know, but sure does put you in the holiday spirit!! Hope everyone has a great day today! Be Blessed!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

Well, I have started decorating....a little! Here is a picture of my mantle. I got this idea from this great blog, The Happy Homebody, all of her stuff is so adorable. I am trying to use what I already have, but change it up a bit!
