Weeks of Hellos

This post is way-belated!! Yikes!

I have been gathering my many HELLOs over the past few weeks and am ready to post them!
You may recall that the HELLOs theme originated with Lisa Leonard at Lisa Leonard Designs...Lisa, your product is AWESOME and BEAUTIFUL and hella CREATIVE, but I am a thrifty lady... if you ever go 75% off, let a sista know!!

Lots of fun wrapped-up in here, ya'll. For your entertainment, I suggest clicking here, now. Enjoy!

Hello Tennis Tuesdays and Ali for making this happen!

Hello 14-year-old Micheal who gave my boys a private lesson at karate yesterday. You give me hope for your generation. You remind me that youth can be awesome and you bring that scripture to life: the one which talks about not letting people look down upon you for your youth. You also give me inspiration for my sons. One day they will be 14, and I hope some mom some where can brag about how cool and well-mannered they are.
