The long awaited stitchy post…

As I have previously mentioned, I haven’t had much mojo lately. I thought I would at least share what I have stitched on that little ornament I started a while back.

P4107261Yeah, I should be beyond finished with it by now, lol! Anyway, I have been spending much of my time either on Facebook playing silly games or reading my “homework” for therapy. I am also going to a women’s Bible study. I will be posting more on my writing blog about that, so you may visit/follow me there.

My job is keeping me pretty busy right now, which is a good thing. I have placed a few veterans in jobs over the past few weeks. I recently passed a state certification exam and can now add the initials FCWP (Florida Certified Workforce Professional) at the end of my name (if I so choose). Now I just continue to do my job and wait for my first of 3 trips to Denver for more training.

I’ll leave you with this image:

I got to spend a few hours with my beautiful niece on March 30th while she was down here for her Spring Break. We spent the afternoon in Tarpon Springs, FL on the Spongedocks.

~~~Until Next Time~~~

Holi-versary Giveaway!

On October 1, 2008 I decided to jump on the blog bandwagon! I really didn’t think it would last this long. Nor did I think I would make friends through this avenue. But it has and I did! I have been busy trying to settle into my new life as an independent woman and missed my blogoversary this year.

Edited Date to keep on top! Well, I have completed my list of what I want to stitch from my books and magazines and found that there are four (4) magazines that I have no reason to keep. So, for my very first ever giveaway, I am offering to you, my readers, a chance to win one of these fine magazines: The World of Cross Stitching (Jan 2005 - also includes a pullout Giant Mr. Men chart of the Alphabet), Cross Stitch Crazy (Feb 2005), Sampler & Antique Needlework (Spring 2009), and JCS (Mar/Apr 2009 - a duplicate that I received after purchasing a copy in the store). I have included pics of the covers of each of these magazines. I also have a progress update on Quaker Medallion . I am nearly finished with the stitching, should be done tonight, and will decide how to finish (i.e. frame, ornie, etc) it over the weekend. Here is a pic: I bet you're wondering how to enter this giveaway! Well, here are the simple steps to take for a chance to win: Post a comment here letting me k

Memorial Day~~~Giveaway

Image
 Well, I promised another giveaway, something of the patriotic sort, and decided that Memorial Day would be the date! Now for the giveaway part: it will be a SURPRISE!!!  :D To start things off, I want to pay tribute to the veterans and currently serving members of our Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Air Force (formerly Army Air Corps), Marines, and Coast Guard. Yes, the Coast Guard is part of our defense system and even served during WWII in an active capacity. I visited one such ship in Key West last summer. ***** What is a Vet? Some Veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a Vet just by looking. What
