So, yesterday was Zoe's first day of preschool and Zadie went back to Parents Day Out.   We were supposed to be there at 8:30 and we left the house at 8:30.  Then as I walk Zoe into her room I see the lunchboxes sitting on  a bookshelf and realize ours are still in the refrigerator.  Good job mom!  Nice start to the school year!  I did however enjoy the day which was full of running around.
My husband and I have been really busy on the embroidery machine working on bags for a cheer leading team.  Did I mention these are bags from Hell!!! Whew, I was so glad when the last one finished and I could finally breathe again. 
I'm getting pumped up with my Zumba class as we are going to start a Biggest Loser contest this Thursday.  I am aiming to lose 12 pounds and I will be one happy girl!  :o)  I hope this helps keep everyone motivated!  We are also going to start running 3 days a week.  Well, that's the plan at least!
I am supposed to join a women's bible study in the morning with my friend Bonnie.  I am looking forward to some much needed Jesus Time.  I'm glad her and Carla stayed on me to join. 
Oh and I finally (only after 1 whole year) made my first cake plate as a wedding gift.  "Null" is their last name.  Check it out!

Nashville Day Trip

Spent the day with one of my besties - Bonnie!  We drove to Nashville for the National Network of Embroidery Professionals Trade Show.  We got some great new ideas since we have decided that Bonnie needs to be my partner when we go BIG TIME!  ;o)   I got some nicely priced thread and ordered some new bigger fast frames (yay) they will be great on big bags.  Then we visited a fabric store that another good friend said I HAD to visit.  It is called Stitchers Garden in Franklin, TN.  Oh My gosh, I was in hog heaven.  There were so many cute fabrics I was like a kid in a candy store.  I got several cute-cute fat quarters, a Halloween polka dot fabric and a new ruffle pants pattern that I need to try asap.  We made a quick stop by Once Upon a Child and got a few good deals and then went to Trees and Trends.  Neat-neat store.  They had a Christmas tree decorated in Halloween stuff it was soooo cute.  Then dinner at Casey Jones Village in Jackson.  We had soooooo much fun - I can't wait till next year!


Here's the Halloween tree - is it not the cutest thing???
