Sincerely, Stacie 2008-10-28 http://www.pleonast.com/user/southern_yankee_mom?l=5&entryID=590788 Below are ten reasons why someone claiming to be a Christian should NOT vote for Barack Hussein Obama. I pray that you will read this, vote accordingly, and pass it on to your friends. 1. He has voted in support of infanticide--PROVERBS 6:16-17 (see http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=18647) In 2002, as an Illinois legislator, Obama voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act, which would have protected babies that survived late-term abortions. 2. He is definitely pro-abortion JEREMIAH 1:5 (http://www.nrlc.org/Election2008/obamarecord0608.pdf) He has maintained a 100% pro-choice rating with planned parenthood and NARAL, cosponsoring the Freedom of Choice Act 3. He is not in favor of traditional marriage between one man and one woman. GENESIS 2:24 (see http://www.cnsnews.com/Public/Content/article.aspx?RsrcID=31916) In an open letter to the "lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual" (LGBT) community that was posted on Obama's official campaign website on Februa... 2008-10-23 http://www.pleonast.com/user/southern_yankee_mom?l=5&entryID=583087 I added a new gallery with new pictures of all of us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The gift registry is still not complete but should be within a couple of days.

Sincerely, Stacie 2008-10-03 http://www.pleonast.com/user/southern_yankee_mom?l=5&entryID=576962 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So I have checked into the Bloggy Giveaways and I really think it is a good idea. So my question to you my loyal friends and customers is....... What would you want to win? It has to be a minimum of $75 worth of merchandise. Although all items are custom I would like to offer set fabric options (for instance if one of the items is a blanket I would want to offer a set fabric such as brown minky on one side and pink minky dot on the other) You get the idea. I would like to have all the items co-ordinate in some way. So what would you want to win? Thanks so much for all your help!!! You gals are terrific!!! 2008-09-18 http://www.pleonast.com/user/southern_yankee_mom?l=5&entryID=572228 I am scheduled to teach our youngest age group here at Skyview starting in October. I have been hunting but I haven't been able to find some of the items I need. So if you have any of these things you can part with or know of a place I can get them I would greatly appreciate it. ~Noah's Ark with animals (I need something fairly inexpensive as I plan to keep all of my material to use in the future) ~Big fish with Jonah ( I had one in Peoria that was a soft one and you could stuff Jonah into the fish's belly) ~Red, white and black small boxes ( I recently cleaned out all of my old ring boxes, I wish I had thought ahead). ~Chariot (small of course for Roll, Roll Chariot Roll and Roll the Gospel Chariot along) ~6 small whales or large fish ~something for Zacheus ~something for Moses and Mt. Sinai, Ten commandments Thank you so much for your help! Love, Stacie 2008-09-06 http://www.pleonast.com/user/southern_yankee_mom?l=5&entryID=554469 I am making most of my entries private now. If you are not on my friends list and would like to be added just leave me a note. 2008-07-25 http://www.pleonast.com/user/southern_yankee_mom?l=5&entryID=527214 Okay so I have the most wonderful husband in the world!!!! Sorry ladies but yes it's true :) Derek doubled my clothing budget so I could get new clothes. He helped the kids make me cards. He wrote a wonderful letter/poem to me. I was really close to tears. He took me to lunch. Insisted that I not do any work today. Cleaned the kitchen, but the dishes in the dishwasher, swept and mopped the tile. (We have a ton!) He is so wonderful!!! oh and he got me PLEO GOLD!!!!! So if you want to be my friend and you aren't already let me know!!!! 2008-05-12 http://www.pleonast.com/user/southern_yankee_mom?l=5&entryID=522789 Okay so no one but Jonna attempted the bonus round. I think that means she wins! :) Things are good here. Busy, though. I am trying to stay caught up with orders. All the while trying to keep three kids happy, a husband happy and a house somewhat clean. I do the best I can. We made a super quick trip to Bama over the weekend. I got to see Kelly's new baby boy, Judah and Derek added sound deadening to my mom's car. My Iris's will be blooming any day now. I can't wait to see what colors they are, they didn't bloom last year. Our big boy is still struggling with allergies and seems to have a cold on top of that. I must say he handles it all very well. Levi is such a sweetheart. He just lights up when I look at him and boy can he smile! I am so very blessed, I know I didn't do anything to deserve the wonderful blessing God has given me. All I can do is my best to serve him. Love and prayers for all of you. What are you doing this week?
