how much would YOU pay??

okay, for those of you who have forgotten (because my blogging hasn't been remotely consistent lately OR maybe it's because lilburn daze isn't first and foremost on your mind...we have 19 days left!?!?!), please chime in with your feedback.  jon said tonight that he would paint a custom painting for the winner of the random drawing from those giving feedback.  so, each time you chime in, your name goes in the hat.  and if you think, i don't want a kids painting, no worries, my hubby has painted some gorgeous landscapes as well.  

so the name of tonight's game is what would you pay?

the key here is YOU.  not what you think they would sell for, not what your momma would spend, not what you think they worth, but if you were walking by these, what would make you say, "yes, that's great, i'll buy these."  all napkins are square and all are flannel fabric.

here we go...

exhibit A:  set of four different boy or girl themed, 9 inch napkins.

exhibit B:  a set of 4 college team sport (don't get hung up on the UGA, it's just jon's favorite), 10 inch napkins

exhibit C:  a set of 4 adult themed, 10 inch napkins

exhibit D:  a set of 5 cocktail style, 7 inch napkins

exhibit E:  a set of 4 (all the same) girl or boy themed, 9 inch napkins 

so, in your response, you can just go:

A:  $

B: $

C: $

you get the picture.  THANKS!  you guys are helping more than you will ever know!!!

music...

okay, roll call.  what's your favorite praise song right now--what's just resonating with you?  my ipod needs some refreshing.  as does my soul.

the last week or so has been crazy.  we spent a good week or so getting ready for a shaklee party.  to all who came, i hope you had a good time and learned as much as i did.  to those of you who missed it, let me just tell you, i am learning alot.  the week after the party was full.  i was busy following up with people who came and trying to figure out if i want to dive into shaklee as a potential part-time job.  i still don't have an answer there, but yes, i am selling the stuff.  confusing, i know.  try living in my head.

and then, the summer cold came.  first for abby.  who so kindly shared it with julia (via many forbidden hugs and some shared bagel that i just missed before it went in juju's mouth).  and they were so kind to share it with me.  i didn't stand a chance.  i had just gotten off of meds for my sinus infection.  i hadn't gotten a lot of sleep (steroids are great for inflammation, terrible for your body and horrid if you want to sleep!) and then got zero sleep for two nights with the girlies.  oh the joys of parenting.  so, i got it.  and i was determined this time to NOT go on meds.  to beat this cold naturally.  something i have never done before.  

let's just say that the quantity of garlic that i consumed would easily scare away even the bravest vampire.  not only was i popping garlic pills, but i even tried garlic poultices on my face to ward off another sinus infection.  last night when i showered (and everyone shouted hallelujah!), i could taste the garlic from the water off of my face.  can anyone say nasty?  but i think, that maybe, just maybe, i have avoided another sinus infection.  the jury is out...we're not counting this until it's in the bag.  (do you need another pat phrase?)

so, now we are coming out of survival mode.  i have 2 girls that are recovering and now i get to re-establish boundaries, pick up a million dirty tissues that missed the trash cans, fold the 40 loads of laundry and re-make all the beds.  got to gid rid of the germs and bad attitudes...and that's just for me.

and then, we head into crunch time.  we have a month left until lilburn daze.  MUCH to do and learn before then.  good grief....so if my blogging is sporadic the next month, you'll know why.
