Carnival and Other Stuff

I just got to thinking!! I forgot to mention the 4-H Bread Baking Contest. I won 3rd place in the county competition for my banana nut bread. Rachel also won 1st place for her yeast bread.

Moving on to today. We finished up the IBLP class this morning with 3 hours of it. It was a good class, and I'm glad I went through it. It just got long in some parts. Next, is the carnival we went to yesterday. It was really fun walking around it and looking at the wares people were selling. I ended up buying a bracelet and getting a half of a geod rock. My friend and I got to split the rock in half. It looks really neat inside. It has all sizes of purple crystals, making for a really neat rock!! The bracelet I got was from Ecuador. This Indian guy said his family made it by hand down in Ecuador. I guess they ship goods up to him and he sells them in the states. Here are pictures:

Daily Life

So.... this morning, we had another IBLP class by Bill Gothard. I have really enjoyed taking the class, and have learned much from it. We have another 3 hours left that we plan to do the following Friday. ~ After that, we had some lunch (left over pizza from last night), and drove over to sewing an photography group. For sewing, we all made little pouches. Here is the tutorial: Twelve22.org. They were really, really fun to put together, and a great way to start the sewing group on zippers. The pouch is lined on the inside with brown swirl fabric. Here are some pictures:

(Sorry this picture is so blurry, I couldn't get my camera to focus.)

Although, much to my intense disapointment, photography was canceled because of the rain. We were going to go to a cemetary and take some pictures there. The storming was kind of scary; there was, "purple lightning" on the radar. That means solid sheets of lightning.

Although we did top the day off by going to Jim N' Nicks BBQ for dinner. Rachel and I split a bacon cheeseburger. Plain, of course. It was scruptious!! Zach had a good time with ribs. I bet you can just imagine the nasty fingers....

Right now, we're making a scrapbook page for the party of a graduating senior. She's moving to Ohio for college, so I don't think we're going to be seeing her anytime soon. Signin' off ~ sourpatch

Happy Birthday Mrs. Susan!

Today, we went, again, to the IBLP class this morning. It was about 3 1/2 hours long. Aghhh!! After this, we went to Wendys and got some food and then I got my eyebrows done. I hate doing this!! Pain = beauty is what I'm told.

By the way, happy birthday Mrs. Susan!! Hope you have a good one! Let us know what you do today! ~ sourpatch
