STAMP!

It's been a while since I've done a STAMP! post......so here you go!
(if you are unfamiliar with the SOA posts {stamp of approval} you can see the other ones here)
First up- Dave Barnes. I love his music. I was introduced to him my freshman year of college and have seen him in concert probably 6 times or so.  He's amazing.  Reallly.  Trust me on this one.

He just came out with a Christmas album and it has earned the place of item number 1 for this edition of STAMP!
:-)


See!??! Even an awesome album cover. :-) Ahhhh Dave.

Item number 2 on my list is a BOOK!

I picked this book up for work and was so impressed.  The writing, the humor, the tears, it had it all.  The book came out of a tragic accident- but the book has SO MUCH MORE than just the story of the accident.  Mary Beth Chapman came out with a book called "Choosing to SEE" that I read in one sitting.  Seriously. I couldn't put it down.  If you have followed Steven Curtis Chapman and his music for any length of time- this book is a must read.  I love this family ALL THE MORE now having read this book.

Simply moving.  Read it!

Item number 3 on the list is an extremely FUN item!!!! eeeeeee :-)

i love it.

You can find it at Crate and Barrel. It's a set of 2 cookie cutters.  In the shape of a cupcake.

I posted a picture of my cookies that I made the other day in an earlier post. You can check it out :-)

They are only 2.95 and are SO much fun to decorate once the sugar cookies have been cut!

Come on....bring out the baker in yourself! Do it :-)

Ten. Years.

Grew up in a small town - And when the rain would fall down - I'd just stare out my window - Dreaming of what could be - And if I'd end up happy - I would pray Trying hard to reach out - But when I tried to speak out - Felt like no one could hear me - Wanted to belong here - But something felt so wrong here - So I prayed I could break away I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly - I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky - I'll make a wish - Take a chance - Make a change - And breakaway - Out of the darkness and into the sun - But I won't forget all the ones that I love - I'll take a risk - Take a chance - Make a change - And breakaway ( Kelly Clarkson, Breakaway ) 10 years ago, this month, I graduated from Prairiland High School. (And yes, I spelled that right- according to our school, anyways.) At times I can't really wrap my mind around that particular thought...Then at other times, it feels as though it could have been 20

Saturday Morning

I have a play list on my iPod titled "Saturday Morning Cleaning." When my sisters and I were growing up, Saturday morning was spent cleaning. No questions asked. Bottom line. Purple suit and all. Oh wait. You don't know about the purple suit. I'll explain further down. We'd get to sleep in until mom and dad deemed enough, at which point they would turn on the stereo system and play praise and worship music and come wake us up. Mom or dad would have cooked us a breakfast of either pancakes, eggs, waffles, bacon, or breakfast tacos (a treat, considering M-F was normally cereal, oatmeal, etc) and on the table would be "The List" Sometimes we'd get "The List" before breakfast and sometimes after. Because, really....who wants to ruin a perfectly good breakfast with "The List." (I have to interject, even as I'm writing this...I'm just remembering how incredible my childhood was. Seriously. I had the best childhood a

Opening a Conversation

I'd like to open a conversation with you. I've read 2 articles recently that have got me thinking. And a blog is one way to open a conversation that invites response, yes? So here goes. If you leave a comment- make sure to click the button that says "email follow up responses" so you can stay part of the convo. (I know, blogspot needs to get better about this, but for now- just click the box.) Here is article number 1: http://www.relevantmagazine.com/digital-issue/53?page=66 Here is article number 2: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/09/27/why-young-christians-arent-waiting-anymore/ There is a new show coming up on TLC called something like "The Virgin Diaries" or something. I have to say. I've watched the preview clips and it is mortifying and embarrassing. If I were 15 and watching- I'd say "Find me the closest guy and let's get it on!" in attempts to not let that be my story. They have made the clips downright horrifyi
