New Friends!

This is my new little furry friend.  Her name is Charcoal, Coal for short.  She was found yesterday in my neighborhood.  The kids down the street found her in their back yard.  It looked like she was attacked in the eyes, but after a trip to the vet she has conjunctivitis, upper respiratory and dehydration!  She might be around 8 weeks old, but we're not too sure.  At first I didn't want to have another cat in the house, but something called compassion took over and I found that I could not say no to this little one.  Last night was like having a newborn in the house!  I had to feed her every 4 hours during the night!  Well I look like I haven't slept and feel like it too!  So that was how I spent my Sunday afternoon...

Here are a couple pictures of me and my sister Cindy at the Hartford Regional on Saturday.  We sat with a nice woman from Springfield, Ma.  The seminar was a lot of fun and the Make-N-Takes were challenging but beautiful.  I'll post pictures of them soon. 

 Gotta go now and take care of my little friend!!  

Have a blessed day,

Melissa

I'd like to thank.......

I'd like to thank Chanda Stehlik for this award!  It's my FIRST ever blog award!  Check out Chanda "style" over at her blog :  http://www.onecraftymommy.com

When you receive this award you are to pay it forward and follow these rules:

1) thank the person who gave this award to me and link it back to their blog (see above link)

2) share 8 things about yourself 

3) pass this award to 8 other individuals that I have recently discovered

4) leave a comment so that they can pass along the recognition!

OK, so here goes; 8 things about me:

1.  I'm the 7th of 8 children

2.  I had my front teeth knocked out when I was 13 while roller skating! (who knew it was a contact sport?)

3.  I have a goal of earning enough money selling Stampin' Up! so I can quit my day job!!

4.  I have the best husband who is also my best friend!

5.  My daughters inspire me every day with their compassion and generosity toward others!

6.  I have kept every card my husband has ever given me...we've been married over 18 years and dated for 2!!

7.  I'm the wife of a preacher.

8.  I love my life!  I'm blessed beyond what I deserve, but am thankful that my Lord sees fit to constantly shower His abundant grace and mercy in my life.

So now I have to pass this forward, I think I'll go the route of Chanda and give it out to those who follow me from Stampin' Connection.
