Chilson Family

This month had really thrown me.  I feel like I am so far behind in everything...that includes a birthday post for Grandson K. Grandson K turned 2 on April 21, which would also have been my precious mothers birthday.  We celebrated Grandon K' s big day on Saturday, 25 April. HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY GRANDSON K! We love you so much!!! <3 Paw Paw and Mammi

I have had trouble trying to get the True Random Generator, by RANDOM.ORG to load to my blog post.  (not surprised, I have been having some problems with my computer of and on) Four people entered and the winner of the give away is #3, Emma Pepperdine!  CONGRATULATIONS!  Please contact Lizzie Williams at www.lillarose.biz/zizzie78 for instructions on how to claim your Flexi!  Once again, congratulations!!!!! Thank you for those who participated!

Seasons come and seasons go.  With the changing of seasons some of us grow a year older!  Son-in-love #1 turned 29 yesterday.  He is the joy of Daughter #1's life and the father of Grandson E.  He has been a joy to us and is willing to help out however needed. WE LOVE YOU SON AND ARE PROUD TO HAVE YOU IN THE FAMILY. WE HOPE YOUR 29th BIRTHDAY WAS A  VERY SPECIAL DAY!!! Love, Daddy and Momma

GIVE AWAY NOW CLOSED   Since there was not a winner for this give away, I was asked to extend it for one more week, Saturday, March 21st to Friday, March 27th.  I will announce the winner on Saturday, March 28th.  The flexible' s are adorable.  They would make a wonderful gift for Easter, graduation and Mother's Day! I was recently asked by an Independent Lilla Rose Consultant if I would do a review for the Flexi Hair Clip.  Of course I could not resist.  We have used a couple of flexi's in the past and thought it would be fun to share the product.   I have seven daughters, six whom live at home.  The youngest three agreed to "model" the flexi.  I will apologize in advance for the pictures not being in order.  I don't know why my pictures keep jumping out of order.  I figure I must be doing something wrong, but every time I try to "fix" it I make it worse.   Daughter # 6 has fairly thick...

We celebrate only two birthdays in March in our family....so far.  I am a couple days late for this post.  My grace is Daughter #3 rarely, if ever reads my blog.  This time I am okay with that! Our first March celebration was Satday, March 7, as we celebrated Daughter #3's 20th birthday.  Where is time marching on to?  It really seems like yesterday we were bringing her home as our youngest!  She has blossomed into a beautiful young woman.  I am so very proud of her. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAUGHTER #3! I HOPE YOU BIRTHDAY WAS AS SPECIAL AS YOU ARE! DADDY AND I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH! XO We now have a ten year old, a twenty year old, and a thirty year old....and almost every age in between!   As soon as I have a chance I will get birthday pictures posted!  It is such a busy household that I am trying to remember if I am coming or going!!!!!!

Okay, they have to come...mile markers.  There is no way to get around them on this road of life.  Today just so happens to be a mile marker birthday for our oldest son's, or does it sound nicer to say, "our first born's" thirtieth birthday. WOW, THIRTY!   Thirty years ago today, at 4:36 a.m., Son #1 came into this world weighing 9# 3 oz, and 21 inches long!  (I labored only 8 hours...my longest birth.) HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY SON! MAY YOUR DAY BE FILLED WITH LOVE AND ALL THINGS WONDERFUL! DADDY AND I ARE SO PROUD OF YOU AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH!  XO (To those of you that may have seen the post where I posted his birthday card a while back...he never did see it on-line)

I was able to pass some free time with making a few cards over the last couple of weeks. Hmm, I remember making this, but cannot remember who I made it for!  The stamp images are Stampin' Up! along with most of the paper. A couple of stamping buddies came over a couple of weeks ago.  We used this set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Everything is SU!.  The water coloring on the bird was with the water color crayons SU! use to carry. I made this for my card ministry.  I only needed 58 of these!  It is based off a card I made in card club a couple of years ago. I changed it up a bit so I could use my Post Card stamp and used the colors I had on hand. This card was made for Son #7's 12th birthday. I really debated what to make for him.  No longer a man, not quite a boy...but balloons just plan say "CELEBRATE!"  This card was made with SU! product. The green I believe is a retired color.
