he calls me 'joyful'

Happy Birthday to my husband who calls me "Joyful."  Today is his birthday and what is he doing? He's finishing up preparing the walls of our kitchen so I can begin painting.  He's always planning a project, working on a project, or enjoying a finished project.  Such a hard-working, devoted, loving, supportive, and FUN father & husband.

Don't you just love this picture? This was taken in 2005 and our 2nd child was just eaten up w/his Daddy.  My hard-working man was about to leave to help the hurricane clean up efforts in Mobile for a month.  We ALL missed him, but it changed my lil' man for a while.

Birthday Boy - Thanks for always doing what you can to keep us feeling joyful! We love you

joyfully sharing

I've been featured on one of my favorite crafting blogs, SOMEDAY CRAFTS.  I contributed to her "Back 2 School Bash," a week of back-to-school projects, ideas, and tips!  This blog is one that I check almost daily.  It's become part of my new addiction that I call 'blog browsing.' If someone would feed & bathe my children, I could do it all day! Happy Saturday...enJOY!

joyful about washable marker

My lil' beauty thought it would be fun to try out Crayola marker as lipstick.

So thankful it's washable!

Who's ready for Back to School??? Meeeeee! I'm so dreadfully behind on some of my sewing projects.  I was inspired to create this print that I'm going to hang over my sewing machine in my craft room.

williams wednesday - joyful about school supplies

I don't know about anyone else - but it just seems like...5 seconds ago...that my 1st grader and 5th grader were like this:

joyful about back 2 school

I'm JOYFUL about back to school and want to "treat" the teachers a bit.  Here are some water bottle labels that I created to tape onto the bottles (after removing the existing label) and attach a drink mix (not pictured).  I used yellow & green polka dot because those are our school colors.  Boy designs are on page 1, Girl designs are on page 2.  Happy Back 2 School, joyful people!
