My heart bubbles over...

So today I picked Alexander up from "Bible Boot Camp" aka - FBI Camp. He was there for three nights and it was his first overnight camp with our church.

It was so good to see him - wow I missed him. They gave out team awards, etc. His team won overall - and from each team a member got a flag and another got prayers verses... the one kid in AJ's ground who got the verses was very new to God ... kinda cool. Another kid in AJ's group was healed and no longer needs his hearing aids... - he got the flag. Alexander was pretty emotional by the end. He told me they prayed for his godfather Ralph and Alexander was the first one to lead the prayer. He said he cried a lot.

At the end they gave out four or five random awards (tshirts) - to the kids who they see as future leaders at the church ... the one's who showed real heart at camp and a good example. I kept thinking as they handed out one and another - would my son be that kid? I know he has it in him but there's 48 kids and a good majority are from the church school ... anyhow they she said his name - you'd think he won an Emmy - I was all teary and trying to take a picture - and just SO PROUD.

Such a FABRIC geek - good finds and good blessings!

OK - I own lots of fabric - and hardly sew at all lately - what is up with that!

But I got two great deals yesterday ...

FIRST - Heather Ross was having a sample sale (woo!!)

Heather's Website!

I emailed asking about shipping to Canada and then it sold out (boo!) ... but THEN I got an email letting me know I responded in time! I told her I loved camper vans and monkeys and owls (and and and LOL!)

I am SO excited - I will post pics when I get the goodies...

Secondly!!!

I am in love with some owl cord that is at JoAnn's but by the time I get to Buffalo and back ... and find the hours to do it ... I begged and pleaded (LOL!) with some online friends of mine and I got some - going to make a jumper for Jessie for fall - I am so psyched... and I got a coordinating one too!

OWL CORD

AND saving the BEST for LAST!

I have been going thru some tough times and really wanted to make Jessie a quilt for her dollie for her birthday but I just was (and still am) overwhelmed with life... I posted on my great mamas board sewingmamas.com and TWO mothers offered to make her quilts. Another great mama donated some fabric and this mama made Jess the BEST quilt ever...

I am TRULY blessed!!!
