Family Camp unveiled!




There was so much that happened during family camp that it deserved its own time line (too bad we can't read the little words but they were hard enough to read in person let alone a picture). Now My Moleskine is bursting at the seems! I love it! :)

Day after day, after day, after day, after...

Everyday that week dragged on. Endless humidity.

Children's Church

All of us Eichelbergers (that still live under the same roof) help with children's church when it's our week in the rotation. Thus, we have been named, The E-Team. We each have a job. I start with songs, then my brother and my dad have a puppet show for the kids, my mom then has a lesson. Finally we have crafts, and if there's still time...a game or two.

Harry Potter

I'm taking a course by the Teaching Company called, "The Art of Reading". I absolutely love it. We talk about the authors, the narrators, the writing style and how that lets you see into the minds of the characters....Then there's story vs. plot. All good stuff! All this is to say, I thought I liked Harry Potter before...now it's the "subject of common interest" (a quote from the book, "Cheaper by the Dozen". If you haven't read it, pick it up! It's excellent. So many laughs!) Whew! I'm a bit long winded today.

The piggie was really cute! Except for the umbilical cord that was hanging out...blech

I've lost my marbles

Have you seen the movie, Hook? With Robin Williams? And Tootles goes around on his hands and knees "looking for his marbles"?

[Pointy] things go [poke] in the night

This one took for-e-ver...for-e-ver...for-e-ver......Has anyone seen the Sandlot or do I just look like a doofus right now?

Chopsticks

I love chopsticks. If I could eat soup with chopsticks, I would! So when i saw a beautiful wooden set at the kitchen kitchen store...I had to have them. Just had to.

But all she had was a bit of Raspberry Cordial... - Anne Shirley


Anne of Green Gables has always been one of my favorites and she's just so funny! Anyway, the song in this tangle that I've quoted is my newest favorite! It's called Countdown by Josh Preston and I got it free off Amazon. It's kinda a silly song in that I don't actually know what it's talking about....but it's pretty :)

Pearls in the Leaves


I made this tangle on my mission trip to Mississippi to help rebuild houses for Katrina victims. I learned how install laminate and linoleum flooring! I was the woman with the utility knife ,which is now on my Christmas list, along with a table saw...

Raindrops keep fallin on my head

I love it when I Zentangle every where I go. With this tangle I was in a coffee shop and it makes it feel like something out of a book.

Peppermint

We have a saying in my house, "If someone offers you a breath mint, never refuse. Someone might be trying to tell you something."

Swollen Eye

An average day

Les Miserables

I was asked just out of the blue by the Bicknese family to accompany them to see Les Miz the next day. I couldn't say no! I had the most wonderful time. I absolutely loved it.

A weekend in Pella
