Yippee! I can, finally, tell you about my latest craftiness! My little package has made it's way to Sleepy Eye, Minnesota! But wait...I am getting ahead of myself. :)</div>

This was my second time participating in the <a href="http://www.craftaholicsanonymous.net/summer-2012-handmade-gift-exchange-linky-party#more-7402" target="_blank">Craft Exchange</a>. (<span id="goog_196451387"></span><a href="http://thatssewtaylor.blogspot.com/2011/11/craft-gift-exchange.html" target="_blank">Here</a> is my post from last November.) I was excited to join the fun, again! I was paired up with Mrs. Alyssa <a href="http://www.hems2dolls.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">(http://www.hems2dolls.blogspot.com/)</a> all the way from Minnesota! I had a hard time deciding what to make...so I just glued a little, beaded a little, and sewed a little. :) My package included: rosette hair pins, bead-balls, and a tangerine-scented rice pack with a baggie to match.<br />

Acts 20:35b is very true when it says, "...and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive."<br />
<br />
I am so glad you liked your gift, Mrs. Alyssa! It was a pleasure making it for you!<br />
<br />
Many blessings,<br />

I wanted to wish, publicly, my dear Daddy and Momma a happy 20th wedding anniversary, tomorrow! Twenty years of marital bliss and I have been around for 17 of it. :)</div>
<div align="center">

</div>
<div align="center">
My Daddy and Momma are such godly examples and I am proud to claim them. Their dedication to the Lord and their striving to follow His teachings is so admirable. They have taught me so many things and led by example in so many areas. Their Christ-centered instruction and counter-cultural convictions are a blessing in this dark world! I am thankful for their godly wisdom which I, hopefully, will use in my own marriage, in the future. I know that they would be the first to admit that marriage is not always easy...but I can hear Daddy, as he preaches on the family, "If I am under the headship of the Lord Jesus and I put her needs before my needs and she puts my needs before her needs...it's heaven on earth!" :) Can you tell I love my Daddy and Momma? Happy Anniversary! I love you!</div>

"Ahhhhhhhhh..."</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
That is my reaction, tonight! It has been a wonderful day. We spent the day as a family and just did some special things. We simply enjoyed being together. Tonight, we all went outside and did some odd-jobs around the house. I know, years from now, I will cherish these days. (Well, I do, now!) I love the enveloping coolness of the evening after a warm day, the fresh scent of the earth as we pull weeds or plant flowers, the trickling of the hose as we water the garden, the sheer beauty of creation as it comes to the day's close, and the joy of just being together as a family. "Ahhhhhh!" I love days like this! Life's special moments...such a blessing. The Lord always knows what we need!</div>

It's been almost a month since I last posted, "<a href="http://thatssewtaylor.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html" target="_blank">I'm a Homeschool Graduate</a>!" (It is still hard for me to believe that I have graduated!) :)<br />
<br />
My past few weeks have been filled with Birds Nest Necklaces, bead-balls, gardening, mini apple pies, the homeschool conference, sewing, reading, fresh lettuce and onions from our garden, spending time with family, and a little bit of everything in between.<br />
<br />
Here are some pics:<br />

As of Thursday evening, my cousin, <a href="http://heartsonthingsabove.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Katy</a>, and I have officially graduated from Heaven's Treasure Academy! Wow...I am a homeschool graduate! It is really hard to believe.<br />
<br />
We had this special ceremony planned for months. Thursday evening came very, very quickly...everything was ready and we were excited! We (myself, Leah, Momma, Katy, Kandace, Clara, Andrew, and Aunt Pam) all went out on a special lunch. Then, Katy and I got our hair curled! :) (That was so fun!) We had professional family pictures taken beforehand and then at 6:30pm, it started! It was a very special time...very bittersweet. We had a wonderful night celebrating our many years of homeschooling!<br />
<br />
Here is our program...<br />

I have had several people ask me about my "future" plans...so here it goes! :) I have 57 college credits through CLEPing and DSSTing (test taking for college credit). I am going to try to get my Bachelor's from Thomas Edison State College through CLEPing...I can get my whole degree at home! I believe it is Biblical for young women to stay under their father's protection, until the Lord brings their husbands. The only reason I am pursuing my degree is so I can be prepared if our nation, one day, requires a college education to homeschool our children. I am preparing to be a stay-at-home wife and mother. (Titus 2:4-5) I look forward to what the Lord has in store!</div>

Let me start by saying...the Lord is always on time...He is always faithful...we just have to trust Him!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Today, we were blessed by someone's obedience to the Lord. For awhile, we have been looking for a tiller for the garden. We usually have to borrow one, but we really needed one of our own. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
This afternoon, someone pulled into our driveway and took this off the back of his truck...</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(Please excuse my lovely attire...I wasn't planning on having a picture made.) :)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Can you say, "What a blessing!" The man said he found out that we needed one and the Lord told him to get it for us. His obedience was an answered prayer...through him, the Lord provided us with a tiller! He could have easily made excuses on why he shouldn't/couldn't, but he obeyed the Lord's prompting. What a lesson on obeying, when the Lord tells us to do something...</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Again, the Lord is ALWAYS on time...He is ALWAYS faithful...we just have to TRUST Him!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Thanking Him for His faithfulness,</div>
<div align="center">

I hope you have had a blessed week! I know a lot of sickness and allergies are going around...it's that time of year. Our family has had bouts with colds and allergies...but are finally getting over them. </div>

I used to bead all the time (several years ago, before I really got into sewing). I haven't in years! Recently, I have seen these little necklace charms floating around in the crafty-blogging world.

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,<br />
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;<br />
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,<br />
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!"</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">May 2012 be a year we do more for our Savior, than ever before!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center">The past few weeks have been full of coconut cakes, fudge, Oreo truffles, favorite carols, balsam candles, pictures, wrapping presents, Christmas movies, such as "It's a Wonderful Life," plenty of smiles, and thoughts and ponderings about Jesus' birth...the most important part of Christmas! Though I dearly love the festivities, let us not get so caught up in the all the "stuff" that we miss the greatest Gift of all. Without Christ, there is no <u>Christ</u>mas!</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">If I don't blog again before the 25th, "Merry Christmas!!!" Enjoy the day celebrating Christ's birth! </div><div align="center"><br />

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."</div><div style="text-align: center;">Philippians 2:7-11</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank you, Mrs. Amber, for the the beautiful cross! It will be put in a special place!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Have a blessed weekend!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

My assigned crafting partner, is Mrs. Amber (<a href="http://www.luckylees.com/" target="_blank">http://www.luckylees.com/</a>) from Texas. After emailing back and forth, sharing our interests, I decided to make her an apron. (She, like me, enjoys cooking!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the picture of the apron I made especially for her...</div>

Here is the pretty frayed flower!</div>

I hope she likes it as much as I do and gets lots of use out of it! </div>

I am looking forward to receiving my little goody in the mail...all the way from Texas!</div>
