Phone!

Hey everyone!!

I have GOOD news!! You can finally reach me by phone again 309.249.3141...the repair guy got out here and fixed it!! YEAA!!! I can not even tell you how grateful I am for that fact!! Everytime it rained out here we would get water in our line and you would hear some static for a few days and then it would get better and go away. Well 3 weeks ago we got a couple BIG storms a few days in a row, the phone did the usual noise, but just got worse and worse and then REALLY bad and then NO dial tone at all and a loud annoying noise in its place.

The repair man siad that they kept thinking the problem was at the facility, and couldnt find the problem, then after checking a bunch of stuff out here he said 2 connections that run into the house were completely broken off??? What in the world?! HOW they would miss that I will NEVER know...I mean really now. But it does make since becuase he said we must have been having problems before and then the latest storms just took it out completely....yep, that was the case!!!

BUT...who cares!!!!!!!!! It's fixed!! yeahooo!!!!! So, feel free to call me like crazy now, haha!! Thank you for everyone who was so supportive during the lack of phone....we really apprieciate it, you guys are so awesome!

OH just a little update, next week is a 2nd street Market in Chillicothe...Thursday night the 27th and I wil be there with a display, so if any of you are out and about stop by and see me!

Bye guys, have a great week!!

Minor website update :)

My website was needing a minor update, the picture of ME! With the help of my lovely...er, handsome assistant *wink* Jeremy (my husband in case you were wondering) I now have some new ones on my "ABOUT" page on my site! Seee...he is a great student, and he listens well! There is hope for him yet, haha!

WHY do I live in the country???

Thats why I'm posting this session today...to restore my faith in living really far out in the country!!! I LOVE it out here, but when we have these phone issues I get 2 seconds away from saying we are MOVING into town!!!! And then....I look outside, and see the beauty that is my backyard, and I come back to reality. Yes it has the downfalls....the phone line for one, and ask me when we are buried in SNOW this winter!...but really now, its so worth it! Look at this beautiful family!!

New Additions!

I have all kinds of new overlays! These are just a few...they are limited as too what size picture you can use them on, but they are really cool! I thought I would show off a few. Keep an eye out, i'm sure you will see some on your images in your gallery!

Still no phone.

Okay guys. I'm officially broken down. I have gievn up all will over this phone deal.

We now have absolutley NO dial tone, nothing. The repair was scheduled for today beween 1-4pm. Its 4:29pm, no one showed up. I keep trying to sumit an update request online, and Verizon ( our phone company) keeps giving me an Internal server error.

I mean really. This is insane. I still have no phone, I'm being to think we just wont get someone out here to fix it! Its been 2+ weeks!!

Please email me guys, sorry again for this hassle.
