Announcement... Baby!!!!!!!!

Most of you know my Daughter Savana and her hubby Trevor. They have been through quite an experience in their short marriage and we are sooo grateful for the blessings of Trevor's transplant and new life. They have been married almost 3 years now and were told that they most likely would not be able to have children.

Well today I got a phone call at 6:00 am.. Savana was crying on the other end and immediately I thought the worst and thought that Trevor had a rejection to one of the new organs... Nope...

She got a positive pee test!!!!!!!!! after a busy morning and quite emotional one at that we are confirmed...

Savana and Trevor are having a BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a gift!!!

YES I did take pictures of the 2nd positive test and kept the receipts and YES we are already planning the page to announce the news!!!!

I am gonna be a GRANDMA!!!!!!!!!!

One Single Seed is soooo awesome!!!!

I absolutely couldn't be more thrilled with the new site.. It is sooo amazing and soooo exciting to have this.. I LOVE IT!!!!!! I would reccomend Kathy Moore to anyone.. she is literaly FABULOUS!!!!! so so FABULOUS!!!!!

We have a few minor details to work out on the site but, they are just exciting and fun. I loved working with her so much that I have got on her list to have her do my personal blog as well.. I am excited.. and yup.. going to use the same colors as the site and alot of the same things that we used for OSS..

Kathy is having a really awesome fundraiser for the special olymics in her home town going on in her blog..
Make sure that you check it out, Kathy really is amazing and you wouldn't be disappointed.

March is just around the corner and with it will be the Grand Opening of OSS. I am really excited to get it all under way and of course will be all stressed out until it is done fully and ready to go. But, I am in good hands and it will all be worth it.

Stop on by and say HI!!!!

Secret Has Been Revealed about TTS!!!

I have toyed with many thoughts and things that I would like to see in the site.. I have looked into what would happen if..... lots of ways, of areas....
This obviously started as a great and exciting adventure to me... It was a dream that I have had for many many years and because of some dear friends it was made possible.

Life is all about change and sometimes if handled correctly then change can be good... Sometimes change can cause hardships and we all know about that. This site has gone through some major ups and downs and has come close to having to close its doors.

I had some heart to heart discussions with a couple of very very close friends and then with my husband.
Now you can tell friends somethings.. but husbands.. anyway mine.. I can really share all my gut with.. he can help me sort through things and help me with perspectives and ideas on how to reach goals etc. He is obviously my biggest support and a wonderful man that has bailed me out not only financially with my business but emotionally as well.

After talking with my hubby, I have realized a few things.. I know who my firends are and what they do for me.. they are an inspiration that other than my family is most important to me in my life. Most of those friendships have come from this site and this community. I am honored to call you all my family.. I don't want to loose this dream.. I want to fight until the very end to make it successful and am determined that is what I will do. We will succeed...

Some of the changes that are going to happen are big changes.. the site overhaul is a big overhaul.. the design work will be different.. we will have more advanced features and a very competive opportunity to work with. This has come to be more of a reality than ever this week as I have worked with the new webdesigner in planning and seeing the first mock up of the site..

I have decided that with the change it is like starting over.. a fresh chance for us to really make it what I dreamed it would be from the start. It is in our reach now and with that I have decided that the time to make the change should go all the way... A fresh new start...

So... with that I have decided that I want to also Start over with a new name to the site.. There are many many treasured memories with TTS the name, and they were shared and grew to a wonderful community. I have thought and thought and talked and talked about it for so long it is time to make it all changed, now is the best time to do that with the site upgrade to a dedicated server, new design and hopefully new dreams that will cooincide with the ones I had with TTS.

My dream is not to be a huge site that is impersonal.. but, one that is healthy, loving and most importantly finacially stable enough to not have to rely on my poor hubby to bail me out each month!!!
My biggest and everyone else's love of this community is us.. the people in it .. and those people are the ones we want to bring to the community.. and we can do it!!!
So... with all that... thank you all so much for all your support... and here is the name of our new site and new start...

One Single Seed . com


Welcome to my dream!!!!! and thanks for sharing it with me...

What a Week!!

Wow what a whirlwind week this has been... Kassi has been sick off and on for about a week.. she seemed better yesterday so I sent her to school.. She came home from school and had a really red hot rash all over her stomach, legs and arms... I was sooo upset for sending her to school... This morning it was worse so we called the dr and got her in.. yup, she has strep.. I am one of those people who get so irritated when people send their kids to school sick knowing they are sick.. and her I send Kassi.. of course I didn't know but I feel horrible to have sent her. She also has very very sensitive skin and so we need to get her a medication for that and change to dye free soaps and a lotion to help with the dryness during the winter months...poor little one.. I feel so bad for her.. On the plus side I think that through this we might have found a better dr..I was impressed with him and so was Jeff. He was super nice and very thorogh.

Now for some TTS news.. there is a big big secret that is going to be revealed next month and I am sooooo excited about it... I can't wait for the reveal and really hope that this will help us change things for the better with all that has happened this last few months. I am excited to have a start over and looking forward to the challenges that it will bring. So make sure that you check often there as there will be some major changes starting in about 2 weeks... whohohooooooooo

Again, another shout out to all those gals at TTS helping out.. Nancy, Laura, you two are amazing.. I have never seen two people work so hard to pull things back up so quickly and do it so successfully. I appreciate and love all my gals there but these two really have gone over the top to make things ok... thank you all sooo very much!!! you will be happy with all the new surprizes coming to us..

TTS Hidden Treasures!!!!

So, if you are a part of TTS and are reading this then you know that we experienced yet another terrible weekend with server problems and yet another set back...
I just want to tell you that I have some of the best people ever working with me there.. I was seriously ready to just throw in the towel after this one.. how many things can actually go wrong before you give up.. but, several of my most wonderful friends pulled together and helped us work it out to working state again.. of course it is with a set back but, because of them we are still going and they are keeping me more determined than ever.. I love you guys!!!!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my heart..
BTW,.. I have a little incentive program going there for those on the ct.. so if you are involved.. you might want to post a little comment here!!!

Don't Pass out but I am blogging!!!

Yes, it has been way way too long since my last post and so many things have happened that there is no way that I could ever post them all..
I just wanted to do a little shout out for my awesome team at TTS.. we have been going through some major changes with the site and everyone has been so supportive and caring.. Thank you all sooo much.

Family notes... Bug is loving college and doing a fantastic job. He just got the honor of being named Sigma for his class in the Sigma Chi that he pledged for and it is a great honor for him and wonderful accomplishment.
Kacee is doing so fantastic with her photography that it is getting hard to even get an appointement with her... we are so proud of her skills.
Savana and Trevor and the kids are all doing amazing and loving their new chance at life. They are truly blessed.
Kassi and Josh are busy with dance and wrestling and bball.. Josh is in a traveling league for bball and we start this weekend with the games. We went to the jazz game last night and they both had a blast.
Jeff is doing much better with his health issues and we are glad that the dr caught the problem before a big stroke hit him. The little ones did not do any damage that they can see from the test results and I am counting my blessings for that. So so scarry to even think about what could have happened.
I am doing really well after my surgery and a special thanks to my family and friends that helped me through. Sorry to all my customers who came by while I was heavily sedated and I had some interesting (oh my) conversations with... Hahha apparently I was very entertaining.. Tomorrow is my 6 week recovery date and I go back to the dr on Monday for my final appt. whohoooo back to the gym here I come!!! I can't believe how much I have missed exercising!!

Don't forget to check out TTS... Vickie is having a 70% off clearance sale and Robin is having a 30% off sale. Dawn is also having a close out sale and there will be big surprises on Black Friday.
The paper store is all brand new.. so many new products to choose from that you won't know where to start.. And SEI is sponsoring the site with a huge contest!!!!!

Thanks tons everyone!!!

I have a Disease!!!!!!

"C.A.H.D.
I want to tell you about a recently discovered (by me) syndrome – Craft Attention Hyperactivity Disorder, or C.A.H.D.


Symptoms include flitting from one craft pursuit to the next, creating stuff like crazy, and making a huge mess in your craft area (that would be the ‘disorder’ part)." Found on Tamara Morrison's Blog

I discovered today the name of my disease!!!! has anyone else got it? whohoooo I feel so good knowing its name and that other people have it too!!!! hehehe

I am taking an online class this summer by Stacy Jillian at BPS and the instructer this week shared the disease on her blog.. I instantly felt happy to know that there is a name!!!!

How is summer going for you all gals... are you as busy and swamped as I am... Life has got to slow down soon heehee .. but then what Fun would that be right!!
Hope everyone is doing good and I am off to check out TTS for the day!

Checking in and updating!!!!!

So first and most important.. yes, Trevor is out of the hospital and doing fantastic again.. He is loving the second chance on life and soo sooooooo anxious to be able to get back to work.. In the meantime Savana and him are enjoying the new life they have been allowed to have and doing some great bonding again with the kids and family.. it is awesome and amazing to us all each time we see him.. He looks so so wonderful.

I just got back last week from a Scrapbook Retreat that was started here by Memory Works. We had so much fun.. Met some awesome gals (HI HI HI gals!!!) and did some really fun projects. It was a total blast and a great warm up to CKU in August!!!

I will post some pics of everyone and everything on the website hopefully in the next few days.

We got home about 2:00 AM on Sunday and then Sunday afternoon I skydived for my very first time!!!!!! OMG OMG OMG ... it was sooooooo unreal... I loved it.. I got a video of it and will try to put it on the blog here if I can figure it out and pictures of me ... I told my dh I look so OLD!!!!!! shows all my dang wrinkles!!!

Trevor is back in the hospital

They had to take him back in on Saturday because they thought he had a hernia. It ended up being an infection that was around the kidney and they seem to have that cleared up for the most part but, now there is a fluid coming from the pancreas area and are still there trying to make sure all is ok. They seem confident that he will be okay and said that he was very smart to call the dr when he did and get in as it could have been much much worse.
They appreciate your prayers and contstant thoughts very much and I will keep you updated as I can.
thanks again everyone!
