JUST A FREELANCIN' ...

YEP! A lot of you know I've been freelancing for a few years on and off for friends and clients. So, I've officially decided to make it a public thing!
I do pretty much anything to do with print material (ads, logos, custom Christmas cards (a new endeavor), booklets, business cards, letterhead, thank you cards, enclosure cards, posters, and a so much more—you get the idea). I don't do websites ... got out of that groove a long time ago. It's fun but takes forever – did I mention I'm a stay-at-home mom?!
I will post things here until I feel the need to move things elsewhere. So, my business is about my business ... my life is number one to be a stay-at-home mom and second to work for the clients that I have now and see where things may or may not go.
Check periodically for projects I've been working on!

Giving Him ALL the Glory

I must share these people and this story with you ... because I am in awe again and again at how people give God the Glory for ALL He has done.

Months ago, I was in Jackson doing a few things and hoping to meet up with my best friend in Jackson, Angie. While planning to just stay the night with she and Breisch, I get a phone call that her sister-in-law, Kristina, had just gotten news that her baby girl she was carrying was not ok.
So, needless to say, they rushed to get their son who was with Breisch's mom and be with family.

That is where this story of faithfulness started to impact me. Kristina gave birth to Layne Grace Gaston on October 14, 2010 not knowing the outcome of her birth. Layne has Trisomy 18, a fatal chromosomal disorder, and they were unsure if she would even make it to birth. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!! Layne is a week old today and holding her own pretty well. They were able to take her home today to be with them until the Lord brings her home with him. Just like all of us as adults and children alike, our days are numbered and how high that number will go – we don't know!
You can follow Kristina and Hamp's journal for Layne on CaringBridge by clicking here. Please pray for them as they continue this journey and cherish every day they have with that baby girl.
I am in awe of their faithfulness as they are allowing God to get ALL the Glory for this great thing He has done! No one really knew or thought they would have this many days with this precious child.

AND THE FUN KEEPS COMING ...

At this rate, you're going to think I'm going to blog every day and Truett is going to think we're going to do FUN things every day!
Today was fall fest at our church. WOW! We had a fun day!
No nap all day, bless us! But we had lots of fun. Have I used that word enough yet??
After a fun morning with Daddy, Mimi showed up for the afternoon. Truett and I took Mimi out to show her a good time! (i.e. Fall Fest and Wall's!)

Truett is obsessed with CHOO CHOOs!!! (as he calls a train)
So, this was right up his alley. GO DAWGS!!

Mom tried to help him have fun ... failed!

He also loves COWS ... MOOOOO!!! and now, milking them...ha!!

Cassie attempted to paint a pumpkin on T's cheek and he attempted to wipe it away.

Truett picked this to eat and LOVED the green icing.

We loved Mimi joining us!!

and the conductor thought someone was cute!!
He's already like his daddy ... getting special treatment.
