Blog Giveaways - I need your help!

09-18-08 11:18am CST

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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!!!


textilet	What should you give away? Do you have any new products, for example, I saw the nursing thingy and thought "what a cute apron", but no!?!? What is your most popular item ordered?
textilet	So, you wouldn't consider adding aprons to your line up?
textilet	No, I just thought you could make nice looking aprons. I saw the balls that I make as puzzles on etsy today. I'm not sure how they stay together.
sallyanne	I just looked at your site. You have some lovely items! I may have to get Josh some things from you this fall :) I love the bibs!
textilet	Watch and see if they sell. I bet they do, except that I think the ones that aren't christmas-y will sell better.
birdflu13	hello
birdflu13	i am good!!!
kitkat	Stacie Formerly Ellis? WOW -- I didn't know you were a mom... (This is Kathryn Formerly Craig) They look cute!!
kitkat	hmm...actually, looking at your friend names...maybe I confused you with someone else I know...

Bible Class help needed!

09-06-08 04:39pm CST

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


crazy_mama	Look on ebay. I LOVE shopping there. Oh and craigslist.
bonkrs5	we all raided our toy boxes for things! So if you know people that might part with their things. Good luck!
florafam	have you asked your mother-in-law? She and Pam have found all that stuff!
aikenape	check out the dollar store. you never know what kind of things you can find there
kemplefam	My suggestion would be the same as florafam! They have done such a great job with the two youngest classes!
emeleel	Try Freecycle, too, if they have a group in your area!
leahwal	I'm not a subscriber in order to get into some of the things on daniellsplace.com, but I have looked at that website and gotten some cute ideas for some of the things you listed above (craft ideas, etc.). Hope it goes well...good luck!
leahsparks	I know! We eat pb ALL THE TIME! I suppose since school is only once a week we'll survive. sigh lol
chachaboo	I liked the movie but it was very different! I thought Heath Ledger did an excellent job with the part of Joker. I was hoping the joker would get killed off but alas he did not :(
stitchinmom	Off to the zoo this morning, go check out the website!!! She's awesome!
jazzluvr	Thanks Stac. I'm so motivated this time I don't think anything can stop me. How is everything with you and the 3 munchkins?
birdflu13	hello Mrs. Boss this is dakota
blesu	Hi. Thanks for contacting me.I am doing great! Have a ton of things going on in my life (all good). We didn't get to go to S.S. this summer because of my husband's new job. Hopefully, next year. Were you there this past year?
birdflu13	i am good
stitchinmom	I love it! I'm so excited when I see something new added. I really like the borders around each stitchery. Even though we liked the "stitching" border, I like this better, I think it showcases them.
blesu	We are not on the coast, however the storm will more than likely move up land and hit us. We are expecting lots of rain and wind and A LOT of EVACUEES. We were schedule to go to a wedding right on the Galveston Coast this weekend. But my poor friend has had to cancel her wedding. I feel so bad for her. 6 months of planning all ruined because of a mean hurricane.
runningjake	Oh, I would check into Godly play materials... they have a really impressive Ark for Noah. I think they might have something for Moses too?
birdflu13	hello

My Mother's Day

05-11-08 07:56pm CST

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!!!!


sgarner2005	WOW!! Go Stacie!! That is awesome!! Happy Mother's day!
curlie	Nice! :)
loruhama	Way to set the bar high, Derek.
maddieandiansmama	Glad you had such a wonderful day!
nillabarr	Yay!!! Way to go, Derek!! I get to go on a shopping spree too! Anthropologie in Chicago! It's my favorite store!!
crazy_mama	Super husbands are the best! Glad you found a keeper!
redtop	What a great Mother's Day! Glad you had a good one! (I am absolutely loving my nursing cover by the way!)
purrph1	What a great husband! So many people complain about their husbands, so it is very refreshing when women brag about their husbands. :)
deanap1232	What an awesome husband!
florafam	Does he have a brother! Just kidding! I am glad your day was wonderful!
emeleel	Sounds like a great mother's day! Auburn is great - it is so quiet and peaceful here. Even when school is going, but especially now that schools' out for the moment. (Graduation was Saturday.) It's so pretty here!
leahwal	Hey girl! I had no idea you lived in White House. I live in Franklin and yes I just have the one son right now. He turned 2 back in February...we are thinking of having another next year. How are you? I just can't believe you have been up here in TN and I didn't know it....we should try to get together sometime-- not exactly sure how far White House is from Franklin....my father-in-law used to go to White House all the time for work. So you have three kids...wow, that's great! I'm sure they are keeping you busy! Thanks for blogging- I'll add you to my friends group..this is so cool to find you here! Hope you have a good day!
stitchinmom	What a sweet hubby! I knew he had it in him! Can't wait for your visit either! We are hoping to have a singing when you guys are here, sound good?
jules31477	Hey Stacie! I had seen your username on several other's blogs but I hadn't quite figured out who you were. I like to try to just read your comments and figure out who you are without going to your personal blog. Thanks for adding me to your list; I'll be adding you to mine. Hope things are well with the hubby and all the kids!
jules31477	BTW, where are you living now? Sounds like you are possibly in TN, north of Nashville? Obviously, I've lost track.
jules31477	I really love TN! Its really great. I live off Old Hickory Blvd in Brentwood (Exit 74 A). I love being close to everything. You know back in AL I had to travel at least 30 minutes to get to anything. Now I go 10 minutes to work, 20 minutes to church, 5-10 minutes to pretty much anything else b/c the mall is close! I've only been in TN 2 months so I'm still learning my way around but loving every minute of it. It helps too that my cousin Leah is in Franklin and, of course, Jonathan, JoEllen and the girls are here too! How long have you been in White House?
norriej	He really is the best husband in the world!! WOW!! Glad that your Mother's Day was great!!
narey_kay	AW.....he is so sweet! Doesn't it just feel so wonderful to know that you are loved??? :)
lb1178	We are doing great!! Glad to hear that ya'll are doing well also!! You really do have a wonderful hubby!! I will try to get pics on here if I can figure out how.....I am not real pleo literate with the picture thing...=)
nillabarr	Whoa!!! Are you guys coming in just like a few days!?!?!?!?!?
stargazermom	Can't wait to see you and I'm really looking forward to the singing!
leahsparks	Sounds like you had a wonderful mother's day! :)
cnh42	Could you get me an invite to the pregnancy group?
cnh42	and mothering?
