The Shabby Nest: A Super Fantabulous Product Giveaway OMG, I've been drooling over this thing forever. I was gonna ask my hunky guy for one for Christmas, but I don't know...maybe if I won it, then I could ask him for something else. ; ) Check out this wonderful give away for a Silhouette Die Cut Machine. Hugs to all,

Many of you know that my sweet, baby boy already had to miss 2 days of kindergarten.  His AWESOME, SUPER teacher and her wonderful assistant sent home one of the activities that he missed on Friday.  We took full advantage of the fun!  He and his older sister enjoyed following the directions to make a snack that went with the book Chicka Chicka Boom.  He had to wear his safari hat for the

Ho hum, well, school started back...ho hum.  I miss summer.  I love my job, but honestly, if I didn't have to work- I would love that, too. :0)  It seems like the weekend takes forever to get here and then it's gone when you blink your eyes.  My kids are kinda like that, too.  It took forever for them to get here and next year Bobo will be driving.  Seriously?  Crazy!!! I spent my Saturday

OK, for the first day of school festivities I arose at the crack of dawn to make alphabet pancakes for the kiddos.  NO, I do not do this every day or even every year.  I just wanted to somehow attempt to start their day off right.   The little's loved it.  The bigs rolled their eyes at it.  I wasn't surprised by the responses.  Also, did you know that middle schoolers DETEST having their picture

Okay, the other day I was browsing around and ran across a site with a tutorial for a RAINBOW CAKE.  Sadly Fortunately, my sweet youngest two children happened to see me looking at it.  Before long I had promised to make one without thinking about what I was really getting myself into.  Actually, I kind of, really wanted to make it because it looked so cool.Since the diet starts on Monday, I

Quite a while ago, someone that I love dearly recommended a book to me.  I heard her say it.  I remembered the title, BUT I never sought out the book or read it.   This was probably about 2 years prior to now.  Recently, my mom and Dad went out of town.  She nonchalantly said, "Hey, I left a book for you and Ken to read on the kitchen table.  Grab it when you come over to water the garden for me.

I read this just a few minutes ago...minutes before I'm about to paint my living room...a daunting task...one day before a family joins us for dinner, 6 days before I have about 20 women to my home to share a meal and our lives while looking at His word.   I needed this.  Go God.

Ok, so I promised I would post more as  it occurs.   Lately, I've finished up all the door knobs on the first floor, with the exception of the front entrance.  That one is slightly intimidating me, but I WILL CONQUER  it.  No pictures of that!   Today my hunky guy went away on a guy's only overnight trip.  He left me alone AND I was left in the mood to be creative.  Well, he's not here...we

Okay, so I haven't blogged in...oh...about 18 months. I've had a change of heart. After hours and hours of perusing hundreds of blogs and sites looking at home dec stuff and diy stuff, I decided it was time to crank up the blog again. Since I only have about ONE reader, they probably know that I have been painting...painting...painting...and I still have more painting. We started with the master

Well, it's 5:52 AM and I'm up!!! I went to bed around 11:30 and was awakened at 4:00 by a sick child. Please pray for Jayden, he's running a pretty high fever pretty steady. It started yesterday afternoon around 5ish. Yes, it was too late to go to the Dr. and now we're stuck until Friday. I'm hoping that it's just a virus and not strep or an ear infection. Part of me is glad he woke me up. Crazy,

Because you're a hottie (as Will and his buddies would say about the opposite sex).3. Because you are a God chaser...truly. You don't give up. You might get discouraged, but you always return to the

Okay, after my zillion loads of laundry, Ken and I took the kids for a hike. We didn't want to go far, but we had heard about a trail behind the Nazarene church here in Dalton. Go figure, we're hikers and we have never been on it. Anyway, we didn't get there until nearly 4:30. Disney Trail. I did have some concern when there was a laminated note attached to the wooden sign that said, "

My sweet friend, Cindy, awarded me with this great award.I believe that I'm supposed to answer the following questions and give awards to other people:1. Do you have the same friends since childhood? Well, they are still my friends. I don't see them often or converse with them often, but I do miss them at times. There are a few, that when I see-it's immediately like we never missed a beat.2.

Okay, everybody- Ken is feeling left out because he feels like all my friends are not reading his blog. I consoled him and told him that you probably didn't know he updated because you haven't added him to your favorites, yet.Would you guys mind showing him some love so he doesn't misinterpret things and think that all my friends are snobs? Yeah, he's a little bit of a whiner.He did manage to

Alright, let me just start this out the right way. I, Terri L. Richmond, am a yeller....and at times I'm very good at it. Is it the right thing? Probably not. Do I need to change? Absolutely. Am I willing to change? Not sure, yet. Ask me again in a month or two. I ran across this post and realized that it was really thought provoking and could possibly be life changing for me....and

Yesterday, we received a mysterious letter in the mail. I really do love Will's language arts teacher. She seems like she's fun and she connects with all those silly sixth graders. She also took the time to send me a personal email JUST to tell me that she was really impressed with Will's narrative writing. No bad stuff-just to say that he was doing SUPER.

I bought this because it came with very good instructions and I thought it would help me understand the how and where of the html code. It basically did, but I'm not happy that there are boxes

Okay, I'm really becoming addicted to digital scrapbooking. This is what I did with the pictures from Bryn's game. I figured out how to do two page spreads at once. That was something I had to research. I've learned how to use a premade template, how to cut letters from background paper, how to make your own textured paper, how to recolor elements to match your photos(everything on this page was

Well, I have neglected to get my sweet family's pictures and happenings up here lately...so here we go!Bryn's first football game(as a cheerleader) was last Saturday. We've had another since then, but it poured down rain so I made no pictures at the second one. Football = Fall, right?These two below are two of her bestest buddies.

Well, today I am at home with one sick child, sent one partially sick child to school and have one faker(Jayden). He's so funny. He keeps coming up to me saying things like: I'm sick, My froat hurts, I've fever. Now mind you, he is running all the while, not acting sick at all. He's heard his brother and sisters complaining and is just simply being a monkey copying them.Funny how little

I'm having some trouble right now. I've spoken forgiveness. I've verbally handed it over to God, but I'm stuck. I know that I'm still struggling with this and I can't seem to let it go. I think that I have and then it consumes me again.The problem is that this person has no idea that I'm harboring unforgiveness to towards them. In fact, they have no idea that I know what they did.

Summer is over...ho hum...BUT I do LOVE Autumn! I love the cooler weather...not cold...but just right(even if today is not one of those days). I love UT football. I love oranges, browns and yellows mixed with greens...whether it's in trees, on clothes or interior design. There's just something about the fall. I guess I love seasons...I must admit that in the Spring-I'm happy it's here. In the

I wanted to get this in writing and out of my head before it was lost forever. Keith's sermon this morning was very timely for me. We've had an exceptionally long and hard week. I'm sure that many of you have as well. Problems that have seemed insurmountable have cropped up. We've been a little discouraged and disheartened with several things in our family this week. Keith reminded us of

Okay, so I didn't think today would bother me near as much as it has. My first born has reached the age of school dances, bringing clothes for PE, and the much sought after BAND CLASS! I can't believe that the same little boy that used to sit in my lap, hold my hand as I walked him into school, and tell me jokes that just weren't funny is starting Middle School today.

Okay, you guys have read my posts referring to my super heroes. These two love to dress up as super heroes and save the world from the Joker, or any other evil villain they can think up. They even sneak up on me and act like I'm the villain. I have also often thought there was a huge fight going on between them, when actually it was a simple game of make believe super hero fun.

I just had a very long (and maybe thought provoking) tidbit I thought I’d share with my sisters (and anyone else who dares to enter the “land of female blogging”).Wednesday night I heard a brother stand before our church and cry out for Christians to begin loving each other as Christ loved us.

Okay, Lacey and Kevin, this is for you who heard my husband say that we all paint beautiful pictures on our blogs. I thought I would share what our wonderful (sarcasm) morning before church was like.Sunday mornings should be calm, relaxed and peaceful. You're about to go to a wonderful church with great friends who love you and learn about a God who couldn't love you less and couldn't love you

As I was journaling this morning, I realized that the date was 06-07-08. That old cheer(see title) came to mind as I was writing it. I thought it would be cool if we spent today and the next few days thinking about who we appreciate in our lives. Of course, most of all ...I do appreciate God and His son that he sent for me. No one could do anything more than He has done for my life, but for

As I've said before, May was quoted by one of my friends as being "the new December". Whew, they are so right. May reminds me why I don't need anymore children. I could never make it to all their extracurricular activities. I love them, but wowee-they kept me hopping this month. I think I ended with their dance recital last time. Now, on to awards day. A few pics from each one. I was so

Okay, I'm a little behind. My friend, Jodi, referrred to this month(May) as the new December and I must agree. With four kids, May is definitely every bit as busy as December. Two weeks ago, I'm not sure I blinked.It began on Monday. Dress rehearsal was Monday. Will and Bryn were in a school musical about Lewis and Clark. Well, they had to have "pioneer" costumes. I was behind as usual and

Hi guys, I'm behind with my posting but just saw this online. I know so many of you are involved in or are close to someone who is, will be (Shana) or has (Angie) adopted internationally.Tragically, SCC lost his youngest daughter in an accident at their family home yesterday.

I will apologize right upfront for the length of this post. It's been a busy weekend and many times I have thought "I need to blog this." With that being said, just hang onto your bootstraps while I fill you in on my weekend. Our weekend began on Thursday night. We went out to eat at Fuddrucker's (a favorite of the kid's) with my parents. You see- Jayden's fourth birthday is May 4th.

What a weekend!!! It was really fun to get away and just have girly girl time with so many of the sweet ladies from EMC. I enjoyed getting to know all the nitty gritty stuff about you guys. Some of you I thought I knew pretty well (the Haired's-you know who you are!!!). Others I got to know for the first time. It was so good to laugh, cry and just have lots of fun with you. It was no

I think a lot of you know that last night Ken and I were scheduled to meet with the youth council at EMC regarding the Youth Ministry Position that will be open this summer. The meeting went very well. Many of them shared their hearts with us and we were able to share our hearts with them. They will be praying over the next few days about their decision. Please keep them in mind as you're

Yesterday, the Richmond's had a great day. I will admit I was grumpy at first, but who could stay that way with the awesome weather, great friends, and great scenery. I struggle with moodiness at times, but my husband is so sweet to always point it out and encourage me(sarcasm is dripping right now) out of my mood.We met some friends, the Kubins at a park in Collegedale.

Well, I hesitate to post this, because my EMC friends may no longer be interested in the family that squanders goods for cards...hope you guys see the fun in this and don't see the dirty, sinful side...LOL. (PS. for a later post, but we heard from God-all you that are waiting to hear from us).About a year ago, Ken and I introduced poker to our older two children (11, and 10). They loved it as

This post has been a long time in coming. I've thought it many times over the past few months. I love each and everyone of you so much. Every Sunday as I enter into worship, I'm so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus. Sometimes, (I'm being honest here) getting to church is a HUGE battle-actually most times it's a huge battle at our house. No one's clothes ever seem to work like we planned

Hi guys, funny story from last night.Our family (with the exception of Ken) loves to watch Jon and Kate plus 8. The girls and I especially love it. Usually we'll DVR it for them to watch later since it comes on so late at night. Last night as it was coming on we were getting ready for bed just listening to the intro. Ya' know the part where it says, "Jon and I decided to try for just one more

Wow! There's a lot of new blogging friends. I really enjoy checking up on everyone's posts. God usually speaks to me through one or more of them. You guys are awesome. I also feel like it's our little online accountability and cheer group. You're accountable because you wanna post what God is doing in your life...He has to be doing something for you to post something. Also, we get to cheer each

Today, I learned that my great Aunt Ada went to be the Lord. She was drawn into His arms late last evening. When the phone rang this morning, I knew it was my Mom and I knew what she was going to tell me. You see, she's been longing to be with her Savior for sometime now and we all knew that it wasn't long away.My memories of her are very fond. Everyone in her family spoke with great

Today, I'm stressed as usual going from one activity to the next with little energy and less pizazz. I've crammed so much into my life that sometimes (often) I forget to "be still" with God. Actually, it's probably a lot less of forgetting and more about my priorities.At the last Tres Dias Weekend that I worked, the theme was "Be Still". I'm still learning and pondering how to "be still". I

Well, all of you great bloggers that are my friends have really inspired me. I'm gonna try to blog more often about all the cool things that my family does that drive me crazy and make me love them more.Let's see this week, we are in the midst of finishing up the touches on a belated birthday celebration for Bryn (pictured to the left). Her birthday was March1st, but because so many of her

Well, I haven't been starving-which is a good thing. I promise, promise, promise that I hate, hate, hate the pay period from Dec. 21st-to Jan 31st. God has been good to us and I've been sewing, sewing, sewing. That's a good thing. We're not hungry and we have gas. Two very important things to survive.

Well, Christmas is gone, BUT I'm still sewing. I'm always amazed that people are still ordering stuff. It's always helpful after Christmas because that's the super long pay period for my family. We go from Dec. 20th to Jan. 30th without a check. It's a tight, tight month.I've been trying out some new stuff and hope to post some pictures soon. I did list a couple of baby girl onesies.

There's new stuff at my Etsy site!!!! Yippee!!! Sorry that it's taken me so long to get a new blog posted. Until September 31st, I was working two jobs and I think it's just taken me the last seven weeks to recuperate. I have been sewing and there are some really cool things. My friends, Ginger and Kay have been shopping for me and found these really cool Market Totes. They bought all they could

I made this set for a baby gift for someone at church. It matches the minky blankie that I was talking about in one of the previous posts. Just thought you might like to see it. The bib reverses to matching fabric on the other side.

I haven''t posted anything in awhile so I decided to update my blog. Recently, I've made a couple of baby blankets that turned out beautiful with the taggies and chocolate brown minky.

It seems that I always think my life's gonna slow down and it never does.Yesterday, I made this tote for a student teacher gift from the teacher.

Wow, that order really took some time. I don't think I was thinking it was going to take as long as it did. It was fun doing such a large order but my husband didn't think I was ever going to detach from my machine. Well, after a such a big order...I need a break. My family and I are going camping. (Did I say I needed a break?) Yeah, Ken thinks this will be a great break...LOL. I'm exhausted

Between finishing up this group buy of towels, filling orders from around here and trying to get my tax info together-I'm swamped. Not to mention two little ones asking for food and drinks all day. It's a mad house at the Richmond's. I'm working hard to get it all done. I have to get this order done(my goal day is Thurs.). My mom called and asked about my tax info....I know, I know, I know.

Ginger, one of my best customers and sales person that I have, asked me why I don't have my koozies and my flipflops up. I really don't have a good reason other than I think I burned out on flipflops last year. They were great sellers, but they do take some time. I'm gonna try to put up some older pics that I have and work on getting some other stuff up on Etsy, too.Last Friday, I turned 38!!!!

Let's see...my group order came through with 23 hooded towels. I've ordered my supplies and most of it came yesterday. I'll be starting to work on that today among the other orders that I also have pending. I think I'll probably start with the purple/green fabric since it came yesterday and IT'S SEW DARN CUTE!!!

Some people have encouraged me to start a blog to promote my sales. I decided to jump in and go for it. My first struggle was that even though I've been called "That's So Cute!" for 2 years now, someone else seems to have grabbed my name. I never went to the trouble of getting it legally so I guess it's theirs for the taking. I'm trying out "That's Sew Cute!" but we'll see if it sticks. I am
