that was a long break. :)

well….another craft weekend is past and i am feeling fabulous.
and sleepy.
12 wonderful women have blessed my life again.
it was a great one.

i was thanking God all weekend for bringing Craft Weekend to be.
thankful for each woman he has brought here.
thankful for Him knowing just who to bring for each weekend.
i am so grateful.

and i kept thinking over and over how God brought kimberlee into my life so sweetly.
when i took her girls photos 4 years ago we could never have imagined what the future would hold for us!

her talents for craft weekend are amazing.  
her cooking is a true gift.
everything she makes tastes so SOOOO good.
and then she brings it with a cup of coffee to go with it!
she has a servants heart and loves to give the gift of relaxation to the women who come to CW.
everytime she serves a meal i feel so incredibly blessed.

she is also very organized.
when you get the special invite to CW….she is the one who wrote it.
she keeps track of all the details of who and when and where the women are coming.

she tells me when i need to focus and what to be focused on.  :)
i am so thankful for that.

she is thoughtful too!

i am so grateful that God knew that i would need kimberlee.

and have you seen this video?
it is so stinkin' cute.
that is one lucky lady.

seriouslysassymama - That was the best video ever! Reminds me how much I love my lovin man!

Corey - Thanks so much for sharing the proposal video….it made my day!

Lisa - Over the years I’ve realized not everyone has awesome REAL friends. Always thanking God for mine too!
That video… I LOVE. I listen to that song every day. No joke. LOVE it! 🙂

Jana Banana - I’m finally getting around to leaving you a comment….I’m not sure how I arrived at your blog, but since I have, I’ve loved following along and find your photography fantastic! I’m so inspired by your crafting and the craft weekends you’ve established; incredible! I’m so glad you have such a neat friend in your life, too. Thanks for sharing your positive energy and creativity.

jacqui anderson - omgosh!!! that was so stinkin cute, bought tears to my ears!!

Angela - My 16 year old son showed me that video, needless to say I thought it was even sweeter that he appreciated it too.

amy jupin - kimberlee is awesome.
i am so happy you introduced us too!
i bet this post really touched her heart.
awwww, group hug!

Cathy - Great video!!

Aby Gittings - OMG!! BEST proposal EVER!!!! I am crying!!! Soooo very cool!!

Melissa - Oh my! First of all, what a sweet post of appreciation for Kimberlee! I’m sure she knows you appreciate her, but it is nice to be reminded every once in a while. And second, I was crying into my coffee with that proposal! How sweet that he would go to all the trouble with all those people and how much they must love the two of them to practice and get it down pat! Amazing! That is something none of them will ever forget. Thanks for sharing that, I loved it!

Kimberly Dial - Isn’t that just like God? 🙂 I can tell that you & Kimberlee make a great time … I hope to meet you both some day!

HandbagPigtail - Kimberlee sounds like an amazing blessing for sure and thank you for telling her so. I’ve always been baffled that people, in general, don’t tell others how they truly feel until its too late and the other person is lying at the front of a church in a casket. I’ve made it a point in my life to love on and appreciate those around me NOW.
Just yesterday we lost someone very dear to us but there’s peace in knowing we told him how much we loved and appreciated him…and often. And now he’s in glory with Jesus:)
Praise God for sweet friendship and time to recharge, right?

Karen Giddings - Kimberlee is an incredible lady (and so are you!). I speak for myself and Tracey that we are so in your fan clubs. 🙂 You touched our hearts and we are forever grateful for our experience at last month’s Craft Weekend. God is so good.

annie - AMAZING!!!! That’s awesome!!!!
What a great way to start my Tuesday morning off with a smile!!!!!

Beth Ann - What a super fun way to be proposed to!!!!

summer - Oi, that video began a two hour happy/ugly cry festival between YouTube proposal/military homecoming videos and myself. But it was cathartic, even if it made me talk my hubby’s ear off that night all about proposals and homecomings 🙂 I am such.a.girl.

Jen Brandt - What a sweet post about Kimberlee. I’m sure you made her heart smile.

Kim - Don’t you just love it when you find a friend that brings out the best in you? That makes you even better than you already are?
My daughter (she’s 11) has recently made a new friend. They bring out the best in each other. It is so cool to see. It is such a neat experience for the girls to have early on, to learn that some people bring out the best in you while others, well, not so much. I am so thankful for that other little girl! She has brightened my daughter’s life, just like Kimberlee has brightened yours.

TAB - What a blessing to have such a special friend.

Sara Torbett - Glad you have Kimberlee and that another weekend was God-sent! I’m curious-what’s on the sign in the pic with Kimberlee and the big vase of flowers?
Can’t wait to see more Craft Weekend pics!

Tracie - I was just sobbing while I watched that. Awesome!

Amy Lynne - Oh my word! That was the best proposal! What a great way to start out together!

jen - thank you for putting joy in my morning. that was the best proposal ever! tears, smiles and coffee. xoxo. thanks!

happygirl - You certainly are blessed to have Kimberlee in your life. God is good, all the time. 🙂

Carolyne - Meg, I think you need to do an international craft weekend!! Us aussies are missing out big time and you are a big tease in waving this wonderful weekend in our faces. Not fair!!!! (stamping my feet on the ground)…I love hearing about these weekends and look forward to all the mischief you gals get into. Seriously we need to look at getting us over there to craft house. hugs.

Pat - What a grand proposal!!! Oh, and the craft weekend is good, too. LOL

Stephanie - You and Kimberlee are so cute.
And I am totally teary eyed after that proposal!!

alimoll - I pray EVERY DAY that I get an invite to Craft Weekend! What a blessing that would be! But, I am patient. I can wait. I love that you do this Meg, and that you have a friend like Kimberlee to help you make this all happen! God Bless you both!

Terrie - Ok…my turn to make you cry! Sweet proposal!!!
Of course…it doesn’t hurt that I spent the day with my dear friend and her daughter
making their wedding invitations!
Can’t wait to hear all about another fabulous craft weekend!!
Rest up!

Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Best Video Ever. Crying!
