Happy Birthday...

to the "Saint" of saintolive!  I love you, mom!  Thank you for helping me become the crafty person I am today.  Also, thanks for helping me learn how to "free up" and "go with the flow."  Since this is an OLYMPIC YEAR... the only way to celebrate is with going to the London GAMES!!!  Well, maybe we'll have to save that for RUSSIA, but for this year we'll be there in spirit as stitch number 8,806 on the American Flag that will be at the Olympics!!!  
Here's a picture of my mom, Meb, medals, and me!  We. Love. the. Olympics!!!

"Like the marathon, life can sometimes be difficult, challenging and present obstacles, however if you believe in your dreams and never ever give up, things will turn out for the best.” - Meb 

"I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me!" - Phil 4:13

Go U.S.A.!!!

It’s safe to say that my mom and I pretty much feel like the Olympics is one of the greatest things in the world! We shut down when they take place and get caught up in everything! We both have met two Olympic athletes and we hope to continue growing that list. They really are an inspiration and motivation. I’m just going to put it out there... I WANT TO WORK FOR THE OLYMPICS!!! I have never been to an Olympic games, but I think 2012 will be the year! And if Apolo Ohno decides to compete in the 2014 games, I don’t care what I’m doing... I‘m going!!!

It’s no surprise to the people around me, that I am a huge Olympic supporter and I think this little guy proves it. My dear friend makes these cute little Itty Boos. Well, last year I made her a spider headband and this year she traded me this guy! I swear I about cried! He’s perfect!!! There are no words for how awesome I think this is. I am so grateful for her friendship and I am so inspired by her art.

This has motivated me to get my act together. I promised to make some people art and I owe another special person a coaster, an owl, and some other goodies. I haven’t forgotten about you all and I will get those mailed soon! I promise!
