vitamins

IMG_3325

when our group went to africa in march, each of us was given something to collect and bring to donate.
my suitcases were full of birthday cake mixes and the pillowcase dresses.
all together we had 11 big suitcases full of donations: books, first aid, sports equipment, gardening tools
one suitcase was FULL of vitamins.
we filled a room in the Ale' Ale' House.  
it was awesome.

after the Good News Club on saturdays in Kroo Bay the children are given an egg.
we were told that for many of them it would be the only protein they would have all week.
IMG_4001

we were told that since our visit they have been able to give each child a vitamin with their egg.

IMG_4082
it's not anything we would get excited about here in the US…right?  an egg and a vitamin?
but for that to be all they get each week?
it breaks my heart.

IMG_4057

we received an email that they have run out of vitamins and wondered if we would be able to collect more.

IMG_3943

IMG_3993

we said YES!
it's an honor to help.
we are sending all of our vitamins to a central location…jody's house in colorado
and the next person going to freetown will take our vitamins with them.

IMG_6868
i took my kids and let them pick them out.

can YOU help?

1. buy children's vitamins.

2. email me for the address for where to send them.   ( cdduerksen@yahoo.com )

3. send them.  (if you are local you can give them to me anytime)

4. smile. 

5. pray for all the children who will receive them.

COME ON LADIES.
we can do this soooooo easily.

jody and cassie and pam and kari each blogged this today too…said it so beautifully.

i loved what jody added at the end of her post….and i am going to paste it here:
————————————————————————————————————————–

I’m quoting in full here Jaime, a missionary in Costa Rica.
She describes this incident where she delivers food to some desperate kids:

β€œI’m gonna go fight poverty for two and a half hours.

2.5 hours on a Tuesday morning to solve the biggest problem in the world. What a joke.

We will show up with a bag full of bread and an armload of bananas, and the children will clamber around us like ducks at a pond. A bunch of little ducklings, falling all over each other for a bit of bread and a soft pat on the head.
And for 2 and a half hours we will laugh and play and eat, and we will talk about Jesus. And when we leave, they will be just as poor as when we arrived. Poverty taunts us as we drive away.
It’s overwhelming.
The problem is so big, and we are so small. It feels ridiculous… showing up to war wielding a loaf of bread.
Of course that’s how David showed up. Just a shepherd boy with some bread for his brothers, a kid who was quick with a sling shot. He chose for battle against a giant, not a sword, or the kings armor, but five smooth stones. And he won.
He said to the giant:”You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the LORD will hand you over to me, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” ~1 Samuel 17
I kind of love that.
I’m going to feed the ducks, now.
And then, with all my might, I will hurl a tiny pebble at their giant enemy. And I hope it hurts like hell.β€œ

——————————————————————————————————————————————————–

And I love that.
So pick up your pebbles, people. Here we go…Thanks for joining us.

Lori - Sweet Meg- I would like to do this with my American Girl class. We are going to be doing a service project while studying Molly. Could you please tell me where to send the vitamins? Thanks so much! Lori toosillysisters@cox.net

Brenda - I would love to donate and I will send you an email soon.

Beth Schobert - Meg, we are doing this for our family Christmas instead of gifts. Will that be too late? Can we send them later? Please let us know if there are other things we could collect and send.
Beth

ThinkTHEBOXing - Why just bring one suitcase load at a time? Is there a way we can ship vitamins directly to these kids?

Traci - Hi there,
Would you be interested in doing a giveaway/review on my blog, Ordinary Inspirations? Also, I’d love to have you Sponsor Ordinary Inspirations by running a fabulous ad in my sidebar!
http://www.ordinaryinspirations.blogspot.com
Traci
PS: I’ll send you more details and stats if you are interested.

Kristin S - What a great way to tangibly help!
Just posted on Facebook too…

Selina - I’d love to help, but sending vitamins from Australia is so not worth the money. Can I have an address so I can mail them from Amazon too? Thanks!!

Laura - you rock

Meg B. - hmmm, I’m local and my school gives kids vitamins each day for free. Maybe we could get a bulk rate. I’ll check into it.
Meg

Transparent Mama - I love how the blogging world can come together to give vitamins to needy children in Africa. Very cool.

Melanie Neumann - I emailed you for an address! This is awesome.

PinkPeanutButter - I emailed you for an address.

jennibell - GREAT idea!!! Would love to know how many suitcases this post generates!!! I blogged about it today (http://jennisseasons.blogspot.com/2010/09/company-girl-coffee-917.html) and am sending you an e-mail so I can send vitamins to you this weekend. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to give.

Sheryl - Amen Sisters! I’ve got my pebbles ready! Although mine are aiming at the poverty giant in the Philippines. It’s everywhere ladies, pick a place a hurl those pebbles!!

Chantel - I will definitely be doing this! I even reposted it on my FB and Tumblr. You will receive an e-mail from me shortly for the address!

Lynda - Hi Megg,
Yesterday I read your post and commented on it…..as I live in the Netherlands I can’t help you as I want to……I think…but I thought about it last night, and I want to ask you….CAN we help from here? ANy idea?

Tina - Thanks for posting this! We’ll be sending lots of vitamins.

Liz@Loving Mom - What a wonderful and easy way to help out! I just sent you an email asking for more info. I am going to share this on Twitter and Facebook as well.

Christina - Chills. What a great post from Jaime, too.

Rebecca - will definitely send some vitamins out. i love the idea of taking the kids shopping – getting them involved and teaching them the value and joy of being a blessing to others!
posted this on my blog as well. thank you for your heart to serve others!
-Rebecca H.

Suzanne - These children capture my heart with each picture. Simply beautiful!

Margo - Thanks for allowing us all to join in on this! I will be buying vitamins and getting them to you!

Dana D@BoysMyJoys - Megan-
Just wondering if there is anything else they need? When shopping for vitamins today at Target, they had all of their school supplies 75% off. In looking at some of the other pictures, I saw piles of glue and such. I’d be happy to pick up those suppies, too, especially while you can get so much for great prices- and mail them with the vitamins. Are things like glue and children’s scissors needed?

Rachel - Please send the address – I’ll have them shipped straight over from Amazon.
Thanks so much! God Bless

laura - I’m visiting Jessica McClenahan until Sunday and then will head back to Colorado. Not sure if you would prefer to wait awhile and just send a bunch at one time to Jody but if you would like me to take what you have already collected I’d be happy to. I’m just a few minutes from her. Anyway, thought I would throw that out there just in case. Call Jess if you would like me to. Otherwise, no worries and happy vitamin collecting! πŸ™‚

karen - I am sending mine to Jody directly also thru Amazon
free shipping over $25

Lisa - I sent my vitamin order directly to Jody via Amazon.com. I’m glad I could help a little! πŸ™‚

jennifer - Absolutely!!! Please send me the address where to send them.

Christy - Thanks for posting this! Ordering some vitamins via Amazon & sending directly to the address. Easy peasy! Seriously, this is less than a meal out with my family & goes for a lot of good.

Megan - Sent money to Jody thru Paypal. Thanks for the opportunity to give!

Lisa utu - Love this! And love the quote at the end. Powerful!

Melissa Lynch - I sent the e-mail from my office for the address. I am computer ignorant. Can I share your post on my facebook so I can mail a HuGe box of vitamins?

Karen Gerstenberger - This is awesome and beautiful. The Bible quote brought tears to my eyes, because that is how I feel about cancer research. I will do what I can to move this forward, so that one day, no more children and families will suffer what Katie (and we) suffered. NO MORE.
If you have a moment, PLEASE go to my blog and watch the video of the new cancer researcher in Seattle, Dr. Mike Jensen. He is a bit like David, with the tiny T-Cells and the big mission. I believe that he is going to move this forward, and the video will inspire you with HOPE.

SeaminglySarah - Okay, maybe it’s the pregnancy hormones talking, but the quote from Jamie made me cry.
Plus I love the mention of a “Good News Club.” When my mother in law was hit with cancer a 2nd time she came up with the “Good News Report.” She only focused on good news, god’s news. The positive attitude and optimism she carries is inspiring. I always thought her “Good News Report” was cute, but now I can tell her it’s catching around the world! =)

Esther - Wao….thanks Meg for this, will email in a sec for address. Tears running down, I’m a Cuban refugee and I totally been there so come on girls let’s do this for these children. Hugs~

Christi Hoffman - LOVE,LOVE,LOVE this! I shared this on my FB! Thanks..

Dana Banana - I will buy several bottles this week and bring them to your house on Sunday. This will be a great service project for our family. Thanks for giving us the opportunity.

Lisa - Email sent – let us know when the person is leaving so we get them there on time! πŸ™‚

amber - Yes! Another great way to teach my little girl about how the world around her is so imperfect. And how blessed we are to be able to serve. Thanks. I’m going to stick this on my blog too.

misty - i just cried my eyes out reading this. I am sending this link to our pastor & hope our church can help. also i will be sending vitamins. i’m emailing you for the address now- thank you for this post

Shauna - thank you for blogging this. i needed this this morning. i am in. i will blog this later and email you for the address. also, while i was reading your post, i was listening to pandora’s elizabeth mitchell station and a man was singing “i can change the world with my own two hands”. not sure who it was singing, but I am gonna just take that double whammy encouragment as God’s voice to me πŸ™‚ off to get my vitamins and obey Him…thanks for being you, Meg.

AshleyAnn - Will be adding this to my post tomorrow…it fits in so perfectly. You make me happy Megan.

Tara - crying and overwhelmed.
gonna email you and get the address…

Emily - Thanks for reaching out to us! Can’t wait to help out.

Carmine - Just a note too, if you can’t physically send the vitamins, Jody is collecting donations via paypal and she’ll go buy the vitamins. Her paypal is jodylanders @ gmail . com (remove the spaces in paypal)

Nicole - Absolutely!!! Going out today! And just so happen to be heading to the post office too! Hopefully I can get your address in time!

shannon - Yes ma’am we will help! I will do a post on my blog later this morning also!

Molly Pearce - Oh yes I can help! I love this! I love what Jaimie said, very humbling, very sad, but very true about God’s love for us and He fights for us everyday! I will send you an email now chicky!!
~Molly P

Tracy - Yes, I’ll be happy to help out and help those babies over in Africa. That’s such a sad story but one I’m so glad you were able to experience and share with the rest of us here. Thanks for the opportunity to help out in some small way. I will send you an email later today to request the address of where to send the vitamins to. P.S. I have also added this link on my blog to help spread the word! Big hugs, Meg! :o)

Julie - My mother hosted a Good News Club in our home. It was during one of those club meetings, I was saved. Very near and dear to my heart. The pebbles do seem so tiny, but hurling anyway. Thanks for the opportunity to help.

Lisa Cash - Already sent the email – I’m in! Thanks for giving us all the opportunity to help out!

Lynda - I can only help with 4 and 5 :(….I’m sorry! I would love to send some vitamins! Beautiful pictures of even more beautiful children, thanks for reminding me…….

Lisa - great idea meg, am sending an email now.

pam - Wow…never bought vitamins before…so colorful, so fun….so humbled. I’m in…email already on it’s way.

i am a happy girl

my mailbox has just been such a happy place recently.
annie loves to bring it to me too and her enthusiasm for packages and catalogs is sweet.

this package was from lisa leonard.
everyone knows lisa….right?

IMG_6113

IMG_6120
 
i think i gasped when i opened the package.
and i have worn them both in the the three days i have had them!  :)
IMG_6140

i was looking at this necklace with all my babies names and thought "this is ONLY for me."
no one else would find this special.
my mother has other grandchildren so it wouldn't be enough.
same with my mother-in-law.
and it's way too girlie for craig to wear.  HA!
there is no one in the world that would cherish this necklace like i do.
how special this is to me.

i love everything in lisa's shop.
i think it's so cool that real live celebrities wear her jewelry…seriously.

(ps: have you heard that miranda lambert song "the house that built me"?  i really like it)

i love reading lisa's blog.
i love to hear about her family…dream about having curly hair….and see her cute outfits on wednesdays.
and she is a great photographer too.

would you like to WIN some lisa leonard for yourself?

Hannah - These are absolutely beautiful! I know my mother would love to have one of those, too. Love your blog Meg!

she had run down the alley saying she was done with pictures.
wendy was awesome and shared the camera with annie. 
i love it.

this one is my favorite.
this one will be BIG in our house.

i love that MY family is captured for a moment in time….and that i am in the pictures with them.

blue lily has a passion for color.
and you know i like color….so we are perfect together.
(me and the hundreds of other families they have worked with…)

wendy and tyler work seamlessly together.
i enjoyed watching them work….and took mental notes.

they travel all over the WORLD taking pictures.
that is the best job.

ever.

thank you wendy and tyler for this day…this memory….this gift of frozen time that cannot be taken away.
you are so good at what you do.

now….go see if they are coming to YOUR town soon.
and if they aren't, then pick one and go there anyway…you will be glad you did!

πŸ™‚

*ps….thank you kim(berlee) for helping me look so fabulous (at least i felt fabulous).
you were a trooper through all those stores…all those jeans….all those shirts…all that makeup.
thank you.

**pss….typepad is not doing some of these justice.
they POP with color and are super sharp.
if you click on them it's a little brighter.
i don't know why it's doing that.  and i am not going to figure it out today.

but i can’t stop thinking that maybe “you’ve gone native?” (i’m cringing but laughing hysterically!)

Krista - Beautiful pictures, I love the color! Last one is my favorite too!

Jess - These are perfect Megan. The last one is my favorite too. I can’t wait to see them in your house. Can you come to my house and tell me which pictures I should print for my walls?? πŸ™‚

AshleyAnn - So I almost emailed you yesterday asking if you had these yet….they are so great! It did make me think, “wow…that is a big family!” The outfits are perfect, the location, the colors….awesomeness!

Courtney McIlwain - I love your shirt. Where did you get it? The pictures are great!!!

Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - That last one is soooo good. I can see true happiness in everyone’s eyes. You and your brood. You must be so proud. And have you lost weight? Lookin’ smokin’ I must add.
I’m going to do a spotlight post on you. Would it be okay if I used a few pics of you and some of your house on my blog?

alamama - you look fabulous! your running has paid off! i love looking at your family! thanks for sharing!

RLG - I cannot thank you enough for this post (which is extraordinary and beautiful). I was able to schedule them! Thank you for the resource, Meg. You’re awesome to share. xoxoxoxo

Talysa - I love them! My fav is the one of all of you on the staircase though. Just love the composition.
And the line…hmmmm….so many to choose from.
“Home Sweet Home” ??

Dana@Bungalow'56 - Megan,
Thanks for mentioning the colour. I did click the last photo and it was sooo much better. Sharper, clearer and bright. The originals must be amazing. You did a great job on the colour coordination with the kids. Not so much that its cliche but fun and unifying.
A beautiful family.
Dana

Kate - You really have such a beautiful family! Everyone looks great! Love!

Elissa - look how gorgeous you all are! i need to be in some pics with my family one of these days πŸ˜‰

Kelly - Love the playfulness of the pictures….beautiful family!

Tara - love these family shots.
we’re getting our family pics taken in October when we go home to visit family.
you look fabulous, Meg.
the jeans..the shirt…the jewelry…the shoes…
fabUlous.

Julie - Really GREAT family pics! Gorgeous family! It takes a great photographer to get great shots of so many ~ we’re a family of seven too and the thought of family pictures overwhelms me! Yours are beautiful πŸ™‚

Annie - These are just fabulous! I love them all, but the one of you all on the steps and the one of you all being silly at the camera… those are perfection! What a fun family!

naomi - you DO look fab! extraordinarily FAB!!!
great family photos …
(reminder to get someone to take OUR photos …with ME in them!)

Missy - Oh my! These are fabulous! Gorgeous family, gorgeous photos!!!

deb meyers - these are great! Glad you trusted your gut with the clothing choices, too.
Say the line… i loved ‘it’s complicated’ (mostly for her home’s interior, and her 50-something wardrobe) but no lines jumped out at me … unless, the laptop scene?!
deb meyers

Lisa - LOVE!!

Kat - Awesome!!
I have been waiting to see your family pics.
The colours look fantastic Meg. You did a really great job of coordinating everyone.
The last one is also my favourite and I really love Annie’s shot.
I like they way everyone is looking down at her.
Can’t wait to see them framed and in your house.

Gemma - They look great!!! I love the scenery and all the colours : )
GOOD STUFF! You all look gorgeos btw.
Gemma x

se7en - How special is this!!! And you have a jump photo – Awesome!!! I would love to know how to actually do that!!! I totally love Annie’s pic!!! Have a happy day!!!

Dianna@DecorMadeSimple - Your right, these are great pictures. I like the brick building as the back drop. My favorites are the kids jumping and the girls reflection in the puddle.

Alisa Lewis - Beautiful Family! Love the pops of color!

thanks for all you do! you are a mover and a shaker, girl!

kari - Makes me smile πŸ™‚

AshleyAnn - Mallory…I really like her too! So glad you posted this, I was wondering what ever came of it!

tami - Precious, just precious. God Bless You!

(www.taborgafamily.blogspot.com)

amy jupin - wow, wow, woohoo, wow! look at you! i’m so proud to be a reader, meg–you keep spreading HIS word and amazing things are happening. and amy butler and her gang, thank you! i bet those boys are going to SMILE for a week straight! awesome.

Tracy Fisher - Meg, Thank you for sharing your stories. You don’t know the impact it has made on me… and many others I am sure. I am taking our two kids to Mexico with our church this July. My husband can’t come (work), but for some reason I was called. I got scared then remembered two quotes that hang next to my computer in my studio. One says “OVERCOME FEAR. BEHOLD WONDER – don’t know author.” The other says “FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY! – creator of Jimmy Choo Shoes”. So, off we go. You give me guts!!! Thank you πŸ™‚
Tracy (www.lifeisjustplainfun.blogspot.com and http://www.liveitupalittle.blogspot.com)

elisabeth (bovagoods) - oh, how i love amy butler. she is so generous. i fell in love with the colors she painted her booth at market a few years back. (saw the pictures of the booth on her website.)on a whim, i emailed her to see if she would give me the paint colors. she did! her hubby emailed me back and so did she! i painted my room right up with those colors and then made a big old quilt from her belle line of fabrics. it’s nice to know she is still so very generous after all of her continued success.

tara pollard pakosta - Makes me want to buy Amy Butler fabric even though I don’t sew! I buy the Amy Butler scrapbook papers, love them!!
how generous and loving is that company, awesome!
tara

Sharla - Great post and kudos to the Amy Butler team!

Jessica from Stars and Clouds - Meg, what you did and what you do is amazing! You are an inspiration to me, all the way over here in Europe.

rambling….and craft thursday #4

i have an opening for photos this thursday JUNE 24 at 7 PM.
any one want to take it?
—————————————————————————————-

anyone know a cheap(er) way to get photoshop?  (for a Mac)
where did you buy yours?
how much was it?
 

—————————————————————————————-
 
i made julie/heather's salted caramel cupcakes last week.
IMG_4351
i loved them.
like really loooooved them.
i didn't have the candy for the top because i forget everything when i go to the store.
and they were just as good without.
 
—————————————————————————————-
 

we went to sugar sisters last week.
 

IMG_3679 

IMG_3684

IMG_3687
we heard they may be in financial trouble so we made sure to get there at least one more time.
i had the strawberry babycake.
it was the best cupcake i have had there yet.
yum yum yum.
it will be sad if they have to close….i like it there.

did you guess that my sugar ban is over?
i am all about moderation now.
i proved that i could do with out completely….and it makes me sick now when i have had much at all.
but a taste is good.
let's hope i can keep from becoming a junkie again.

—————————————————————————————-

two of my children went to camp yesterday.
i keep thinking i forgot someone…or i need to pick someone up.
this week should be a breeze having only three to keep tabs on.

—————————————————————————————-

at the Y last week i was jogging on the track.
my iPod was on (with my rap music) at the highest volume….just the way i like it.
two ladies were walking and talking together on the track ahead of me.
i thought "i wish i was talking with my friends" as i came up on them.
they turned to me as i was passing them and smiled and said "we love your blog" 
at least that is what i think they said because my headphones were blasting.
ha!

ladies….you made my day.
πŸ™‚
the rest of my run was like i floating.
thanks.

—————————————————————————————-


IMG_4345
this is the house i grew up in.
it was a lighter yellow back then…not quite so bright.
there used to be a porch swing on the right side of the porch.
craig and i sat out there for hours.
talking.

yeah…that's it….talking.

—————————————————————————————-
craft thursday…done on a friday…posted on a monday.

we choose another project from deep space sparkle.


IMG_6182
we made tissue paper dragons.
it was difficult to change the mindset to having a perfect dragon to a free form dragon.
i kept saying "just tear and then find a way to make that shape work somewhere."
and the mantra of "it doesn't have to be perfect…it's ART"


sean disagreed.
he would have preferred to use scissors. 
but talby and annie could "see" the dragon in the shapes.

IMG_6187
i used watered down glue and our watercolor paint brushes.
our projects are almost always done on mediumweight Sketch Pad paper…found at walmart.

IMG_6185
when we were done i outlined them in sharpie and cut them out to hang up.

another successful craft thursday.
yay!
         
————————————————————————————-
 
 
     
on saturday morning my friend kerry had a baby girl.
and i got to photograph her birth.
it was amazing and emotional and extremely humbling to be there.
i love her family so much.

her sweet baby Kyler is in the NICU now.
will you pray for them?
God hears every prayer.
He has a plan for them and He is in control.
i am sure of that.
—————————————————————————————-

webcams - I will definitely visit your site more often cause I like your ideas and the information you post. free les chat live chat adult finder free free chat

Lori - A prayer for sweet Kyler-done.

crystal - Those Dragons rock! I love your Blog too!!!!

Robyn - i love this craft! so cute. i may try something similar but maybe with fish or birds.
i hope your friends baby i ok. my godson has been in and out of the nicu for a long time and its SO scary. life changing. and prayers have helped him come a long way. he has a long road still but the prayers have helped him come out of the woods!
so im adding your friends baby girl to my prayer list!

Whitney - I would suggest that you get one of the creative suites… I got Elements and was a little bored with it. I got it while I was in college and got a huge discount! Try to find someone in college who could use their ID for you! I have all of my old Id’s… I’ll just mail you a copy! πŸ™‚
As for the sugar, I have been trying to avoid it too. I went 12 days and then had to have flourless chocolate cake-it was worth it, but also too sweet. I have been reading a book called “Potatoes Not Prozac”- it’s all about people who are sugar sensitive- very interesting and fit me to a t! I highly recommend it!
Just like the ladies walking on the track, I love your blog too!

Rachel / cREaTe - soooooooooo CUTE! LOVE that project!!!!! πŸ™‚ and love that sean always crafts with goggles around his neck. ha!

Heather @ Cookie Mondays - Chloe got the swimsuit! And lives in it.
Financial trouble?! How can that be?! Poor Sugar Sisters πŸ™

Lisa - I use PhotoShop all the time both at work and home. I always purchase my software from AcademicSuperstore.com Great prices for teachers and students! Hope this helps.

Gina - You can get the student version of photoshop because you have a student. You’ll need her to go with you and have her ID. It’s the same thing but WAY cheaper. We have it on our computer and it works fine. Not that I’d know because I have no clue how to use it…but my husband says it’s great…
If I could drive there Thursday night from Chicago, I’d take that appointment in a heartbeat. I’ll keep dreaming…

Emily B. - That was my friend Jodi and I at the Y! And we DID say that we love your blog! We were both so excited to see you. We realized that you might not have heard us and that it might have just looked like we were smiling and clapping at you as you went by! It made us laugh so hard that I let out a really loud and spastic laugh that echoed in the gym… what a goof. πŸ™‚
I’m so glad it made your day! It made ours to see you!

kristine - sweet art!
will pray for kyler and fam. xo

Rachel - Definitely check out http://www.academicsuperstore.com/. The prices are significantly better and it’s totally legit. I use both LR and PS for editing. The workflow in LR is amazing and it’s really easy to bulk edit a bunch of pictures. Scott Kelby’s Lightroom 2 book really helped me to figure it out how to use it to it’s full potential. You can do way more with PS in terms of editing (ie. layers, masks, more brushes, tools etc). I find myself using PS more when I’m editing for clients or when I want to print something larger for myself. It’s still over my head though so I’m planning to take a PS course for photographers in the fall so I can get the most out of it.

Laura - What a lovely post. God is always in control! Isn’t it great!? I will be praying.

Courtney Walsh - I love those dragons!! How adorable! πŸ™‚
…and I’ve always dreamed of a butter yellow house. Maybe someday…:) I’ll make sure if I have a porch swing talking is the ONLY thing done on it! hahahaha.

se7en - Those dragons are darling!!!

Laura - I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements from Amazon.com for $80-something. Adobe was having a $20 rebate (which happens occasionally). So, I got it for $60-something. I have worked on both and find Elements does exactly what I need – at a fraction of the price. I was thrilled to get such a great deal!
Good luck with your shopping!
Laura

shelly @familyblt - Great post today. I want photoshop too! I couldn’t justlfy it yet though. I want a cupcake now too. yum

tinycandi - I used the free trial of PS…but I wasn’t impressed enough to switch over from Paint Shop Pro. I have PSP Photo XI and absolutely love it. There are so many things I can do with just a click of a mouse. It’s so much more user friendly than PS. I am hoping to upgrade soon now that X3 is out. It’s so much cheaper than PS.

teresa - tell the kids i give their dragons two thumbs up! very nice!

tasha roe - bought mine with my student discount through journeyed.com huge savings!

Michelle - NOOOOO! Sugar Sister’s can’t close. That would make me so sad. I need to get there this week!

Shannon - Lots of memories in that big yellow house! I loved that house

Marie Tere - I just got the PS — $89 with $20 off, $69 wasn’t so bad.
Prayers to baby Kyler.

Kate @ Songs Kate Sang - Praying for baby Kyler… please keep us updated. Thanks!

Georgia - Meg, the house you grew up in is like a dolls house!!!
Thats my dream house!!! lol
UK houses are not so picturesque as the usa. damn its unfair lol
Happy Monday!!!

jennifer - Love the photos of the cupcake shop. It looks adorable! And those dragons looks like a fun project too!
We’ve got an unused copy of PS Elements that I’d gladly barter, or just give you. πŸ™‚ Let me just make sure I can find it! Let me know if you’re interested…

Lisa Currie-Gurney - IF WE LIVED IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD, WE’D BE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. YOU KNOW, THE KIND THAT WALKS IN WITHOUT KNOCKING. GRABS COFFEE FROM THE POT WITHOUT NEEDING TO BE OFFERED. TAKES THE KIDS SWIMMING FOR THE AFTERNOON.
YEAH… THAT WOULD BE US.
HUGS FROM MAINE

KK - Those are adorable dragons! I love each of them. It is amazing how, even though people work on the same project, they all come up with their own interpretation.
I will pray for Kyler and your friend! πŸ™‚
Have a good day!

Patty - The dragons are wonderful. Again, I impressed with how you organize your days…not easy wrangling kids to do an art project on a hot, summer day. Tell Sean that I thought his dragon was very precise, despite the fact that no scissors were used!

Nicole Q. - Love all your random thoughts . . . I think I’ll have to do the dragon craft with my boys. Looks like a fun one! Have a good with a few less kiddos.

Vera - That dragon craft is AWESOME! We are so going to do that. Will pray for your friend’s baby!

patti - what a great craft! I’m going to look at that site now to get some ideas for my kids too. i know i’ve said it before, but i’m sure it’s nice to hear: thanks so much for sharing these everyday looks into your life. i really appreciate it!
cheers to a great week!

www.Kellyloves.wordpress.com - I love the dragons. Super cute. Will def pray for Kyle!
http://www.kellyloves.wordpress.com

Kirsten - Megan, you continue to inspire and amaze, even with photos of cupcakes! Prayers and hugs for your friends and sweet new little Kyler.
And I’m jealous that your kids get to wear swimsuits – we had a softball tournament get rained out this weekend…

Amber - i don’t see where anyone has mentioned this yet…but have you ever looked at http://www.academicsuperstore.com ? i believe ps is about half price there. i haven’t actually purchased from them…but if i were to make THE splurge…i would probably go w/ them. you are supposed to meet the qualifications…but i’m sure you could order via your children’s student i.d.

susie whyte - love the dragons, love the house, love everything. πŸ™‚
sugar sisters was broken into. my husband had to interview one of the owners after the incident. they got a little over $240. if they’re in financial crisis, it’s cause they charge $2.50 a cupcake!! πŸ™‚ haha. if they have to close, i will be so sad. maybe they’ll have to sell their plates. i want their plates so bad. the ones with the metal rims. and the blue melmac flower plates. haha!!

tara pollard pakosta - gorgeous dragons!
we are going to have to make those!
super CUTE!
praying for the sweet baby kyler–
God will hear us all….
bless your sweet blog, it’s amazing.
tara

Amber Zimmerman - Love the craft thursdays (and fridays) posts. πŸ™‚ I’m glad you mentioned the paper you use too. As for photoshop – I have a student version which is much cheaper. It is the same thing, just cheaper for students. I’m not sure if you could ask a student to purchase for you at a local college (someone you know?) or if that is frowned upon? Worth a check at least! πŸ™‚
Prayers for baby Kyler!

AshleyAnn - Those are gorgeous! I am looking forward to the days my kids can do projects like that…one down 3 to go…

Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - Great craft. Those kids are GOOD.
I had someone recognize me at the gym the other day too. It was really surreal. I felt famous…so I get it. I think I had a goofy grin on my face the rest of the day:)
That house you grew up in was just adorable. I was just thinking the other night how I missed the days when Honey and I would just “talk” for what seemed like hours. Oh to be a youngin’ again.

Juli - Kyler and his family will be on my prayer list.
I adore those dragons and I love your childhood home. Why in the world would anyone take down a porch swing? My hubby’s HS/College yrs were in 1930’s bungalow with a front porch swing. He & I sat and “talked” plenty there. I would swing my niece, while singing her “Edelweiss” as a tiny infant on that swing, when I came home from college. That tiny “baby” got engaged this weekend!

Julie K. - Hey Megan! I LOVE your dragons. So cute.
I use Lightroom for 95% of my work and then Photoshop Elements for any detail work on occasion. It’s so much easier to navigate. The combo of the two are just perfect. But I really really LOVE Lightroom. Just my two cents.
xo ~julie

Tam - The cupcakes look devine! I would like one for breakfast! I also want to purchase PS, i’m thinking Elements is more my speed though. The dragons are wicked cool.

mom - I use PS Elements too at work. I went to a PS workshop and the elements are easier to understand. But you are the professional! It might be good to enroll in a class after you purchase it – it really did help.

Bec - I use full blown photoshop to edit my pictures and honestly, it took me almost 3 years to really come to terms with it and truly start using it to it’s potential. I still have a whole lot to learn, but I’m getting there. I would highly suggest, if you are only going to use it for photo editing, getting photoshop elements. The same controls as photoshop but not overwhelming. I wish I would have gone that route to start with.

Melanie - The cupcakes look delish. I sure whis I had one:)

Patty - Thank you for the mention of the paper you use for Craft Thursdays. Prayers for baby Kyler. Happy day to you.

Christy - Awesome dragons! The house where you grew up is so cute!

katie - i made those cupcakes too…. HEAVEN!!!

Jill - LOVE those dragons! Great work, kids! (and Meg!)

A pocket full of posies... - Covering baby Kyler with many, many prayers!!! (and new mommy and daddy too!)
Many Blessings!
Jill

Amy Cygan - I have lightroom. Really easy learning curve and can export to photoshop if more editing needs to be done. It does a lot. It’s inbetween elements and photoshop as far as what it can do.
I got mine through acedemic superstore. If have to fax/email student report card/ proof of student, and you’ll get a great price. I’ve ordered several times from there. Think about Adobe lightroom. e-mail me if you got questions really. Amy paris626@earthlink.net
I have a dslr and been using lightroom since it’s first version. I do have CS3 but hardly use it.

kat - said a prayer for your friend πŸ™‚
the dragons are cute !

Michelle - The dragons are awesome! Those cupcakes are on my list to make… I just need an occasion.

the road less traveled - two words for your photoshop question…
e bay.
πŸ™‚
love the tissue dragons.
and your childhood home~ lovely.

Kimberlee J. - We hit sugar sisters this weekend too. They made Ella’s birthday cupcakes. πŸ™‚

Jodi - Yes, the best way to purchase PS for a MAC is to buy the student version at the Apple Store. Take in your high school daughter, have her show her student ID, and voila, it’s yours for a fraction of the cost. Whoops…hope I don’t get in trouble for telling you that. Mine is a bootleg from a friend of a friend. I LOVE it.
The dragon tissue project is perfect!

Sally Mangham - In regards to photoshop! Have you considered Photoshop Elements? I have been asking a dear friend of mine who runs a tech/imagining business and he suggested that I look at Photoshop Elments because he said if you haven’t ever learned Photoshop it’s a great start with the same editing advantage. Also, I recently discovered an online wk shop — http://everydayelementsonline.com/ . I purchased mine at Fry’s Electronics.
If you decided that you have enough experience and are ready to purchase Photoshop here is a great link http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/80-best-photoshop-text-effects-tutorials-part-iii/
Good luck! Sally M.

Gemma - Hi Meg,
Those cupcakes look yummy! Might have to give them a try. Loved your craft Thrusday/Friday.

erin's shop is such a fun place!
this one is my favorite….
         Layeredmotherofpearl
             it is pretty…perfect font…round and round…simple…beautiful….i love this one.
   i wonder if i would choose my family or put a bibles verse or quote or song lyrics in those circles?
       or maybe even movie lines??  that is my style.
  

ChunkyDaisyCuff
and this bracelet is funky.  
i think i need it.  
but not with my kids names….
maybe with "Mrs. Duerksen"

i like the cross.
i like the bumpiness and "not perfect-ness" of this one….it has character.

Rachel - I love the movie Crash. Def my fav…I love when people’s stories intersect and twist together.

Kirsten P - My favorite movie is Return To Me. Intense grief and sadness, sweet joy and happiness – I love it.

Lacy Brauner - Dirty Dancing. Since i was 4 i can cry at the same exact time in the movie. It was my ‘Finding Nemo’…’Toy Story’ so to speak…My mom could put it on, and she had 2 hours of quiet. Not sure why a 4 year old should watch movies like that, but I loved it..and still do.

Katie - About Last Night…It is the cheesiest 80’s movie ever, but I love it!!

Liz - Depends on the time in my life. When I was little, it was Charlotte’s Web. In high school, it was 10 Things I Hate About You. In college, a toss up between Shag (a great coming of age film) and My Best Friends Wedding. Now I love Dan In Real Life , hoping it will prepare me for dealing with teenagers with some measure of grace. Ha.

Alice Nakles - I love movies so much, this is very hard to pick. Maybe Beetlejuice or What about Bob, I love them both so much.

my fave movie is CLUE!
i’ll check again later to see if it’s really up there somewhere else so i don’t repeat myself any further… πŸ™

Rachel - Its so hard to choose just one…I’d have to say Almost Famous…when Tangerine plays at the end when the bus is driving off into the sunset…love it!!! Rock stars have kidnapped my son!

kristine - O.M.G. meg (megan!) i’m number 827 for leaving a comment! my fave is the movie CLUE!!!!!! πŸ™‚ have you ever seen it?!
and i think getting movie lines around the necklace is a smashing idea! i think you would need more circles though!
AND i did buy a christmas present from erin last year thanks to you! i know others try to imitate but she does the best work i think! πŸ™‚

Heather K. - We love “The Princess Bride” in our house. Every once in a while my husband will say, “as you wish” when I ask him to do something. It always makes me smile because I know it means “I love you”.

Tierknee2000 - Braveheart or any old musical!

Rachel - Oh man, favorite movie? Sooo hard to narrow it down. I think I’d pick BBC’s North & South. Swoon, swoon!

Since reading about the Vintage Pearl on here I have shown DH and told him I want a necklace from there with his and the kids names on it for my 40th. I am getting in early as its still two years away πŸ˜‰
Not sure what the exchange rate is though as we are in Australia.
Hm, favourite film. Oh thats such a hard question Meg.
So many, but I think The Shawshank Redemption is a great movie.

Alma Barrera - Dirty Dancing, just want to make me dance!

Tiffany - The Holiday.
It’s my default movie. Watch it when I’m in the mood for a good laugh, cry, when I am sad, happy. It’s great πŸ™‚

Laura Mann - Hi Meg! My family’s all time favorite movie is (I know it sounds CRAZY) chitty chitty bang bang. It’s the most purest heartfelt message ever. My 2.5 year old does one of the dance numbers (ole bamboo) that would break your heart. And it’s so precious that they call the dad Bert because they can’t quite grasp his move from Mary Poppins. My husband and I haven’t seen “real” movies for awhile because of the kiddos so this is our favorite family movie. And I thought Annie would like it if she hasn’t already seen it!
Thanks,
Steve,Laura,Kate, and Drew

Rachael B - My favorite movie of all time is The Illusionist! My mom gave it to me as a gift for valentine’s day two years ago and it has been my favorite ever since!

Shelley Paden - Hands down for my little family is FIREPROOF with Kirk Cameron. We were very reluctant to go see it as we were having a rough patch in our 16 year marriage due to financial stressess. But…I felt like God was calling us to be brave and go. So..I got a sitter for our boy, made reservations at Jack In the Box (insert laughter)and when he came home from work I surprised him with our first date night in 18 months. That night changed our marriage forever. The movie simply convicted both of us and that night we asked God to make our marriage like it was in the early days where we worked at showing each other daily how much we loved each other. I can truly tell you that today I feel like I have a CRUSH on my man…he and I both make serving one another instaed of expecting or complaining about what we feel dissapointed in each other about…the stuff that when you really look at it is quite stupid, selfish and temporal.Ig we were to win the gift certificate, I would have a piece that says FIREPROOF as a daily reminder of how much I adore my husband and that we went through the fire and made it through to the other side with God’s help and cutie patootie Kirk Cameron too….God Bless!!!

Okay, so favorite movie… there are so many that I LOVE. It is hard to narrow it down to that ONE movie that is BETTER than the rest. I am going to say Tommy Boy. It has never failed to make me laugh AND it is a movie I can sit down and watch with my hubby. There aren’t many movies that we will both sit down and watch over and over… together. πŸ™‚ Tommy Boy is one of those. So is Uncle Buck. I’d say it comes in a at a close 2nd.

Karen - love this post today- love reading how much you love your hubby- inspires me to keep loving mine even more than I already do! My favorite movie of all time is Anne of Green Gables- I don’t care if that seems lame- it’s one of the only movies I can still see over and over again and not get bored.

The part where Lloyd holds the radio up outside her window and plays “In your eyes” by Peter Gabriel is the best. My husband and I used that as our wedding song and it is timeless.

Jeremy Grey: I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night.
John Beckwith: Soft mattress?
Jeremy Grey: Yeah, it could have been the soft mattress. Or the midnight rape. Or the nude gay art show that took place in my room. One of those probably added to the lack of sleep.

Shanalea Atchison - I feel like I never get to see movies anymore, but one that I love to watch no matter what time a year is White Christmas.

Jaime Melcher - Grease is the word!

Julie Weaver - My favorite movie of all time is “The Wizard of Oz” It is timeless, a wonderful story, and it always makes me feel good. My kids were dorothy and the tin man for halloween this year, and I’m wondering how many years they could be different characters for Halloween.
I love it so much!

My husband and I saw this on our first movie date.We were very smug and confident that we would never have a moment in our married lives like they do, the one where Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfieffer are in bed with both sets of their parents. (Oh, that sounds wierd. Hope you’ve seen the movie.) Anyway, their parents are arguing and they’re arguing and it just seemed so impossible. Hah! Some times we watch it on our anniversary and giggle a bit at how naive we were almost 10 years ago. πŸ™‚

(And I still have a little crush on John Cusack, truth be told.)

Diane Pierce - It’s hard to pick because there are so many great movies. But the remake of Father of the Bride. Love it!
Thanks!!!

Amy Lockhart - I love the movie Elf, such great comedy, but my all time favorite would be… Pretty Woman. LOVE that movie, love the lines that came out of it, “WOOOWOOOWOOWOO!” and yes I just did the one arm motion when I tried to spell that out. (good thing no one was watching!)

jenn groves - Top Gun! back when Val Kilmer use to be hot and the shirtless volleyball scene never gets old :o)

amy - It’s an old one… Baby Boom with Diane Keaton. I love the keychain.

Lara - My favorite is Steel Magnolias. “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion”. SO many great lines in that movie. Thanks for such an awesome giveaway! I adore The Vintage Pearl. Have a great week. πŸ™‚

Jennifer Brown - I love the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Always have, always will πŸ™‚ I am a big fan of Elf though too!

Terri - I have so many favorites but one of them is Under the Tuscan Sun. Just a clean, enjoyable movie that gives me warm fuzzies. I read the Vintage Pearl blog all the time and pick out my favorite pieces from her selection. Someday, I will be selfish and buy myself a something.

ann - I know many people think it’s dumb but I never laughed so hard at “Napolean Dynamite”…. The thought of Uncle Rico and feeding Tina still makes me chuckle.

Kara Kristin - The Burbs with Tom Hanks, we watch it over and over!

Christine Ishmael - My all time favorite movie that we all quote constantly even though the movie is way old and noone else “gets” what were laughing/talking about is “So I Married An Axe Murdurer”…just saying it in my head makes me giggle thinking about Mike Meyers wee Scottish accent! “I juice everything” and “the colonel puts an addictive chemical in his chicken, I crave for it nightly” is another favorite quote! I’d love to get that key chain for my hubby…will it fit all six children’s names on it? Thanks for the chance to win!

Ashley - It’s hard to choose just one, but I love the movie Big Fish!

Linn - Sleepless in Seattle! I am from Seattle and married to a military man. When I was living overseas and he was deployed, I would watch this movie over and over missing home and missing my best friend!

shelly - I’ve done that with my coffee pot too!
My favorite movie is Life is Beautiful–who knew you could laugh and cry so hard at the same time!?

Stephanie - The Breakfast Club!

Joy Cronauer - The Wizard of OZ!

Lisa - My favorite is Hope Floats with Sandra Bullock, come to think of it, I love any movie with her in it! πŸ™‚

Stephanie - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!! The original, just magical!! Awesome giveaway, thanks so much!!

Betsy - Hard choice for favorite, especially with just one cup of caffeine in my system. But, speaking of Elf, we personally believe in Buddy’s food groups, “Candy, maple syrup, …..”

Lori McDonough - My fave would definitely be It’s a Wonderful Life. Everything about it is perfection. The best part is that my family has a tradition of watching it together…TOGETHER {with 2 teenagers that is a magical feat!}every Christmas Eve. Secretly i hope they will continue this tradition with their families someday!

tammy - I love the movie Funny Farm with Chevy Chase!!!!
