Raffle For Kayleigh

You can go here to purchase a raffle ticket to win one of the wonderful packages up for raffle!

Kayleigh when she was first born! Oh so tiny!

Kayleigh now at 7 pounds, almost ready to go home. See here is the thing, they are going to loose their home. Due to all the growing medical expenses, a downturn in the market, (both parents are real estate agents) things are pretty tight these days for the Freeman family. I really hope everyone will go and take a peak. If you feel good about what we are doing here with this auction....PLEASE BLOG ABOUT IT! Pass the word along, pay it forward to help this sweet little family out.
Here she is with her Mom & Dad. Kayleigh is the youngest of the three Freeman kids. She has a darling older brother and sister.




My Birdie Sisters painting is just one of the many things you can win in this amazing raffle!

Please go and check it out!

Names & A Shop Update

I would like to introduce you to "Little Miss Red Bird"

She is the sister of the cute but shy "Valentine Birdie" (her close friends call her Val)

Their sister "Little Miss Sprinkles" is the queen of ice cream parties

"Benny & June" just tied the knot. I hear they are having a fabulous time setting up the new nest

Benny was a little sad to leave his best friend and brother "Buddy Bird" but it was time for both of them to follow different paths. They still talk at least once a week. SOLD!

Birds of a feather flock together. I think they are a lovely little bunch of birds. If you are interested in giving any of them a home, you can find them here

A Weary Day

Little Zoe working on art. She takes it pretty seriously. This is sort of how I feel. Serious (but hopeful)

I had grand intentions for this day. However grand those intentions may be, family comes first. Today my little Sloan had two Dr. appointments, blood drawn twice, A1C test, and two immunizations. We found that her A1C levels only went up 1/2 a point. I was grateful it wasn't more. Her blood sugars have been running a little higher lately. We will have to hold off on a pump for a few more months, but a pump is the next step. I think most of the tests given and the upcoming tests to be done are for preventative measures. Her pediatrician also found a heart murmur. I have to set up an appointment with a pediatric cardiologist, oh and did I mention she also has to have an MRI to rule out any problems she has been having with her eyes? It's been a little stressful for me lately. I know Sloan is fine, and will be safe and OK. I just need to relax and breath, just for a day or two.

So I will have the shop update by this weekend. I will let everyone know as soon as I do. I also have a really exciting project that I am going to be working on for a fellow blogger. Oh and one last thing, an upcoming auction that I am participating in for a sweet little lady that I think everyone will enjoy meeting. The profits will all go straight to the family to help with their overwhelming medical costs and living expenses. You can follow her story here. If you are interested in donating something to help out with this auction, please email me and I will forward the organizers info to you.

Last but not least, this post was not meant to be a pity party. I just need to keep it real and I need to take a few days to get back in gear. Hope you all have a great Friday. Look forward to posting again this weekend. Hugs to all!
