RiP Fred G G Harris - It's been 2 years.

RIP Daddy!

It's been 2 years since we said goodbye to Fred G. G. Harris. He is loved very much, and missed greatly. Fred was like a father to me for many years, and his departing shocked us all.

We will never forget you.

We will always love you.

Rest In Peace, 'Daddy'

Rest In Peace, Michael Jackson!

I couldn't believe it when I heard Michael Jackson died...I'm still kind of in shock.
Crazy...

My phone will only let me send up to 160 characters at a time, so a better update will come when i am able to use the computer...

Woke up this morning to no power. Electric company is out front working on power lines...so I've been about 2 hours with no electricity...

Making progress on the car...

I'm really tired, so I'm not doing any 'real' update.

Tomorrow, though...tomorrow.

Goodnight

This past weekend...

This past weekend was not the best, I can tell you that! But there were some good points.

Friday night, a friend out ours died in a motorcycle accident. Rest in peace, Stephen Stone! He was only 21 years old. It definitely was a shocker..

Saturday morning, my husband took my car to be inspected. It failed. We were told it would take about $500-$600 to fix. Yay, right?

Saturday afternoon, we were watching a movie at our place. All of a sudden the a/c unit started making these weird sounds. The lights started flickering, and then got real low. Then one by one, all of the electric started cutting off in every room. The only place we had electric that worked, was the bathroom. Apparently, something burned in the main breaker or something for our building...and it only affected our apartment. The maintenance people were here trying to figure out what happened for hours. They were unable to fix it that day, so we went out to Wal-mart and bought an extension cord to run from the bathroom (since it had working electricity) to the living room, for light and such. I had orders and stuff that I needed to do...but my sewing machine and other 'tools' were unable to work due to the power problem. It sucked.

Sunday morning, I received a huge bag of sewing/crafting/other art items from a nice lady. Also, lots of fabric. That definitely made me happy :) As I was going through the stuff, I told my husband 'This is like Christmas for me..' haha. I love new art stuff.

Sunday afternoon, the kids and I went over to my moms, as we do basically every Sunday. We replaced 2 of the lights on my car that had failed inspection. We looked over the other things that needed fixing and my mom talked to the people at the auto parts store. The other thing could probably be fixed much cheaper if we (meaning my brother, of course) did it ourselves...So I am probably going to head back out there on Tuesday to fix the other things (with the exhaust), and look at tires. My mom and I also took my kids, and my nephew to the pool. That's a nice way to wind down a lonnng weekend.

I've decided to wait on my contest that I was going to open up...maybe a week or two, while I figure some things out.

M'kay, well I am off here to work on some projects that I've started. Later.

Rest in peace, Stephen Stone...1988 to 2009

Twinkle Baby Boutique

A friend of mine just started a new online boutique, through Etsy. There is also a myspace page for the boutique as well.

The name? Twinkle Baby Boutique.

How cute is that?

The boutique has some adorable bows, clippies, and bowholders in it at the moment. There will definitely be more soon though! Check it out and make sure you let her know I (Kimberlee P.) sent you!

It's run by Kerin. She's an awesome person! She also runs all of the All Mommy Talk sites (http://www.allmommytalk.com/, www.myspace.com/allmommytalk) AMT is a online community/network of women of all kinds...not necessarily moms. There are aunts, grandparents, godparents, expectant moms, ttc moms, etc.

Ok anyways...Twinkle Baby Boutique is currently running a contest. Wanna get in on it? Visit the myspace page: www.myspace.com/twinklebabyboutique

Make sure you tell her that Kimberlee P sent you!

ALSO Be on the lookout for my blog contest...coming soon!!

I successfully set up my mobile blogger. Fantastic, huh?

An introduction is in order...

I'm starting a new blog here on Blogger. (Obviously...right?)

I used to run a blog on Xanga (www.xanga.com/xl3abugirl4u05x) where I just rambled on about my life and such, and I plan to do the same here :) lol. I just stopped using xanga a few months back...all of the people that I was in contact with on there seemed to disappear. With the exception of about 3 or 4 people, I no longer have contact with my xanga friends, so I feel the need to move on. I figured I could start fresh here.

I have actually had this account set up for like 2 weeks (or more) now, and just didn't know what to do with it. I have decided I will use it for regular blogging, as well as showing off my crafts and sewing projects...Oh yes, and promoting my etsy shop :) That URL, by the way, is http://www.itsmydesign87.etsy.com/

I have been a member of Etsy since about Dec. 2008...but I just started my own shop there in April, so I am fairly new. I am still getting into the swing of things, and still do not have much in my shop. Things have been kinda busy around here...But I am sure you will here about that later.

Ok...see...This was supposed to be an introduction post. Ya know, where I introduce myself? So far it has just been some rambling. My bad....lol. Alright, I am Kimberlee. I'm a 21 year old wife and mother of 2. One girl (3yrs), one boy (1yr). I enjoy making all kinds of things. I love to sew. My sewing machine probably hates me because since I got it, I have used it basically non-stop. I am up for trying to craft/make/sew just about anything. I will honestly tell you that I am not a 'pro' (yet lol), but I love my creativity.

Ok, well I am off in search of a blogger template that is not so boring. Stay tuned, though, in honor of my new blog I think I will start a contest/sweepstakes sort of deal...I just need to figure out what/how to do so. Thanks for reading.
