spending time w. my daughters

It's been a while and I've been pretty busy
with my daughters while they were here spending
some time with us. My three older ones are
from my 1st marriage. I'd love to have them
back, but dh prefers they stay with their
grandparents, which has been really hard
for me.

I love my children and try to spend as
much time with them as I can. They're growing
so fast and I feel as if there's so much
that I missed out on. They want to come
back and live with me only if I'm single
again.

It's been hard living with someone who
doesn't love & accept my children and
our relationship has been going downhill,
since I discovered his affairs.
We've gone in to see our bishop and it
seems like things have gotten worse and
now he's going to the islands with his
mother for vacation, which has been
about $5,000 + out of our pocket for
his ticket, her ticket and other loans
he's had to pay off for her in the
islands.while I've been having to
scrape by.

There's been alot on my plate lately
and I've been looking for another place
to move to with my children while he's
out of the country. Maybe then, I'll
find my peace and solice.

I'm sorry that I had to post this, I've
just been really stressed and sad lately.
so, I just wanted to get it off my chest.

YW Fundraiser

Yesterday was a fun day for my children & I.
Our young women held a fundraiser yesterday
to raise over $900 to get 9 girls into
YW Rough Out Camp for next week.

We started out at 11 am and didn't finish
until 7pm last night. It was fun and the
girls enjoyed it. we baked over 30 trays
of sweet rolls baked in sweetened coconut
milk at $15 a pan and a large ziplock bag
of Round Cakes made of yeast..they were
our best selling items!

we ended with $380 in cash and a total
of $590 in sales. So far, so good. we're
going to finish up tomorrow by holding
a car wash at the church and selling more
round cakes at $10 a bag. I'll post up more
pics. in a bit.

The girls were taking a break and enjoying
the treats from our young women president's
stockpile in these pics.!

Crafty Ideas...

Photo: Royal Design Studio.

This is the next craft idea on my list. I was thinking that this
would be nice to create (the chair cover) for a wedding couple at
their reception or something. In our cultural weddings, the
couple usually has a wedding dance the night before the wedding
which is a friday night and the family always provides huge
decorative quilts that would cover both metal chairs..but I
thought the above pic. would be cute when covering each chair
with their initials on the covers.

I purchased the whole training kit 7 DVD Elegant Stenciled
Effects Program from Royal Design Studios for $299.00
and never got around to using it..so I'll be trying it tonight
to see how it turns out with the fabric I have on hand.

Go here to check it out and order the program..you won't regret it~

Volunteer Work for Last Saturday

I'm finally getting around to updating you on this past weekend.
So we were asked to volunteer on Saturday, May 30 to decorate
the gym and one of the meeting rooms at the stake center for a
wedding. We were invited to the bridal shower on thursday which
was also last minute..

So I asked the young women in our ward to all meet at the stake
center on Saturday @ 7 am to start decorations for the wedding
favors table, gift table and a table that displayed all their
pictures.

We didn't have any table linens and thought that the relief
society had some and they didn't have any either. So we had
to make due with what we had. Thankfully Siu, had some linens
with her so this what we did with it..


Favors table: Chocolate Bliss Candies in Favor Boxes...
