I am excited to report that ALL of the "JOY" shirts are on their way to you!!!!

And, I have to share a sweet story...  I walked into the post office today with three bins of packages to send out.  I fully intended to either buy postage, or to use the electronic shipping machine to weigh and print my own postage for each shipment..  When I walked in there were only 2 people in line.  One of the employees told me to go over to Ron..  He said, "Ron loves projects like this.."  So, I did and what I found was a very sweet man who happily tackled my 150+ mailings..  In fact once he started he told me to go get a cup of coffee..  He asked for my number and told me he would call me when he was almost done!  Seriously? So thanks to Ron, I did my Target run, and stopped at Starbucks!!!  Then as promised he called, and five minutes later I was delivering a Grande Mocha to my new friend and taking this picture!!!

Ron and his pals were so touched by Ivy's story, I think they would have bought a tee-shirt!!!!

I hope you enjoy wearing your shirts!!  Thank you again for blessing Ivy!!

Today, is Mary's birthday!!!  And, I am so thankful that one special

We had a perfect Minnesota night for Halloween this year.  Cold enough to feel like fall, but not cold enough to spoil the fun for all the adorable kids ringing our doorbell!!!  Our new pals joined us for the festivities!!!  Thanks Jody for the awesome chili!! And thanks Emily, Tyler and Grandma for handing out candy so the Mom's and Dad's could walk around too!

Ainsley was missed.. She was with her BFF's playing cops and robbers all night.  It sounds like they had a great time!!

Sienna was so excited to be a long haired blonde..  She would love to have hair as long as Rapunzel! And, Her Rubiness was her favorite thing..  A beautiful butterfly!  

Emme and Bella had a ball being the cutest Minnie Mice in the hood...  

I think they smiled and giggled their way up to every door!!!!  

We loved spending Halloween with our favorite Atlanta Blessings!!  Thanks "M" family for playing with us!
