Hey I may not be able to post much due to school right now but I still want to wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day. Just remember everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day!

I have the blues..

Yup, I have the winter time blues. I'm not a big fan of winter and really hate when it comes around every year. I wish I lived in a warmer climate. The snow doesn't seem to be melting fast enough for me. Between snow and all the studying I have been doing I am truly bummed. My house is a mess because I don't have the time to focus on it. I like to keep my house tidy and organized and right now neither is happening. Oh, I long for the green grass, pretty flowers, leaves on trees, 70 degree weather and my gardening gloves. For now I will have to just have to keep the images of spring in my head. What is a girl to do??


Blessings,

Jessica

Happy Valentine's Day!

Still around sort of.

Hey, I get on here everyday and read some blogs or at least try too. I have been so busy with school that getting anything done but the everyday things have been difficult. Today, I finally took down my Christmas swag and put up my Valentine's Day Heart Wreath. Yah, week before V-day. lol. Tonight I plan on sewing up some hearts from red felt I had gotten at a Thrift store when I was down at my mother's. I got like 3 yards of red felt for .50 cents. Wish my town or even a town near me had a thrift store. I have to go all the way into Allentown, which is the big shopping area where I live to go to Sally's. I just never seem to have the time to go there either. Just to let you know, my classes are going good. I am more focused this semester and have been really on top of my studies. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an A. Well, I hope to post the pics of the project I'm doing tonight if I have time. Thanks for everyone's kind words and support. They really mean a lot to me.

Til then,

Jessica

My Ghetto Greeting Farm Card.

I will apologize for this card but it was made in a rush. This card needed to be done by 6pm cst and it is 5:48 est. So ya I have an hour but I really don't. This week at The Greeting Farm they will be giving away free digi images but you have to make a card with them in order to get the next free digi image. I love free things so I'm jumping right on this.

I made it in!

I want to thank everyone who wished me the best for my spring semester. I truly appreciate it. Right now I am finishing off my pre-requirements to get into nursing school. Well I have some great news, I went to the college I am interested in going to nursing school and I was accepted into the program. I will start in December this year. I am so happy right now even though I have tons of work to do before I even start nursing school. Nursing schools are so competitive to get into and costly too. I decided to go with a school that offers a bachelor's degree in Nursing giving myself more opportunity after graduation and in my Nursing career. I intend to go for a Master's Degree in the future.
After meeting with the Nursing Advisor she told me that I needed to take one more Art class. Okay I'm thinking I can't draw or paint what should I do until she said Papermaking. Papermaking!!! I would love to learn how to make my own paper. So this summer for 6 days I will be learning to make paper! I promise to share my experience with all of you and maybe, just maybe make some for a giveaway.
Well off to study math. I'm hoping to make some V-day decor this weekend. I have been looking through so many blogs and I have so many great ideas.

PS-please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers. They need them right now. God Bless.

It won't leave my head, guess I was paying attention.

This week at church we had a fill in pastor since my church is yet again without a pastor. I love to listen to the gospel and to the sermon that follows. I always try to take something out of it and go with it for the week. Well this week the pastor was going on and on and on and on. I thought I was going to fall asleep and my neck was starting to hurt just keeping it up. Well, I did though come out of church with a better sense of who I am what what my job is. God gave me the job of wife, mother, daughter, friend, student and woman. It is my job to do all of these jobs as best as I can and to continue to work to be the best at them. Sometimes we forget our purpose and why we are in the situations we are in. God felt we are the best person for the job and it is the job he assigned us.
I'm starting up school again on Friday. I am trying reallly hard to stay positive about this next semester. It is going to be really hard. I know that God would not have given me this opportunity to go back to school after all this time if he didn't feel I couldn't do it. I will be trying my hardest to get good grades and be the best student I can be.

On to other news, I got my basement cleaned up and all ready to go for some crafting!! Whoo-hoo! The basement and all its clutter was blocking my creative abilities or aka- my mojo!
I'm hoping between studying to get some crafting done. I will be posting them when I complete them but beware they will be few and far between until the end of the semester. So don't give up on my blog, check in every once and a while. As a matter of fact become a follower so that you can get updates on your dashboard when I post.

TTYL gators,

Jessica
