I'm off!

I am leaving in a couple of hours to drive to Dallas. I will be leaving for the Phillipines very early in the morning. Y'all please pray for me and our entire mission team. Please put each one of us on your prayer lists and the prayer lists at your church. I believe with my WHOLE heart the power of prayer. Please also remember those that we will be going to minister to. Please pray that God opens hearts and minds as only He can.

Those going on the trip are:

Marilyn Bilton
Jan Bishop
Toni Cox (me!)
Sheri Lankford
Mike Bradford
Hilton Hassell
Dennis Morris
Gary Williams

I'm sorry that I have not put out a new episode or posted much, but the preparations for this trip, alongside producing our wonderful Sunrise Service that our church is famous for have been keeping me VERY VERY busy. I have TONS to tell everyone--I got to meet one of my listeners in real life at the Azalea Quilt Show in Tyler. Plus I took lots of great pictures of some very beautiful quilts. I PROMISE I will get everyone caught up as soon as I get back home. We will be flying back in on the 15th. I can't wait to tell everyone all about everything at the quilt show as well as my trip.

Please don't give up on me--I promise I'm not podfading on y'all! I love all of my podcast friends way too much!

I love everyone!

"I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to His service. Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 1:12-14 (NIV)

Silly Chick Designs Episode 4

Get all of the juicy details about how I broke my leg! Lots of chatting and visiting! Been missing everyone! Hope you enjoy! I love all of my podcast friends!

I Promise I'm Not Dead!

Hey guys! I'm sooooo sorry I haven't posted or put out a podcast....everyone was so sweet to check on me! I have just been super slowed down by this ding-dong broken leg. My laptop had to be sent off for some warranty work and the other computer is upstairs so I haven't been able to record or do anything internetty. I got my laptop back yesterday, so I will have a new episode recorded tonight before I go to bed--I PROMISE! I have lots to talk about and no notes....so it might be a doozy! I may have 43 kazillion emails in my inbox that I haven't been able to check. Yahoo and gmail are blocked websites at work so I couldn't even sneak in a check there. Oh yeah--those few days off I thought I might get for a broken leg...no such luck. Not really....I wanted to be at work. I love my job!

So I'll check in with you tonight! I've missed everyone! Love y'all!

How's this for a trip?!?!

Y'all will never believe what I did this morning?!?! I fell taking the dogs out and BROKE MY DANG LEG! Can you believe that? I have never been accused of being graceful and I guess it is a good thing. I will tell y'all all about it on the podcast. Looks like I may be off a day or two and can probably get another episode out soon....LOL! Thanks to everyone who has listened and left me such sweet comments. Y'all really do know to make a girl feel special!

Take care and we'll visit soon!

Episode 3

Hey guys! I finally got episode three recorded...yay! Lots of good stuff this week...plus a contest! WAHOO!

Just Some Fabric Scrumptiousness! Had to Share!

I just had to share this picture of some of my latest fat quarter purchases!  I think fat quarters are like kittens.....they are way more fun if you have a bunch of them!  Do you think there is a 12-step program for fat quarters or notions?  I might need one for sewing machines too!

Here's my new hunky strong German man.....I'm taking suggestions on what his name should be.....y'all help me name him!

Good night my lovelies!  I hope to record another episode this weekend....I'm going to try to be more organized!  To everyone who has sent me an email or left me a comment, I am trying to get caught up on my emails---my new job has less internet time than the old one did, so I'm going to get caught up this weekend.  I promise!  Y'all are the best!  Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend!  See you at church on Sunday!
