Our Savior Lives!!! Happy Easter

















Yes, my Jesus lives!  Hallelujah.  We were invited over to enjoy an egg hunt and beautiful lunch after celebrating at church!  Mom was proud for the girls to wear the outfits she worked on these past weeks and Dad was very happily wearing his matching blue sweater as this little guy.  We are blessed parents of wonderful children.... but better yet, we are overly blessed children of the Lord.  Happy Resurrection Day!  The kids are napping and will find their little Easter surprises when they get up!  Had to keep 1st things 1st and focus on Jesus this morning :)

Matilda Jane Party!!

Did you know I'm hosting one? Yes I sure am!!  What is Matilda Jane -- it's a cutie patootie little clothing line that's mostly sold via trunk shows set up in your home!  Well, we are such a mobile family... my "trunk show" is all virtual.  You can shop at their website - but I will warn you ahead of time.  Brace yourself for sticker shock.  This isn't the bargain basement of shopping... think more along the lines of Easter dress and special fun?  The clothes are designed and sewn with a lot of whimsy and unusual matchy kind of style. I love it! 
So what's special about THIS trunk show?  My trunk keeper Heather has offered to donate 10% of her profits to research for Tuberous Sclerosis!  How fun?  So I up'ed the anti.  I will be sewing a brand new dress to be donated for every dress purchased.  I'm going to be donating to DressAGirlAroundtheWorld.com - a Christian organization dedicating to providing a brand new dress to needy children all around the world.


Who's excited?
You can shop at www.MatildaJaneClothing.com   Click "shop the collection"  The newest collection that was JUST released is called Seredipity ( on the left hand column).  You can place items on your "wishlist" and then send your wishlist to my email address Kristi.Elston@gmail.com and I'll call you to finish up your order!!  Try and send these in today.  We are closing out the party tomorrow.  I will also re-order next weekend for anybody who stumbles upon this late or needs to wait.
Please - this isn't time to "buy in" because you feel guilty and want to help. This is purely fun and for those of you that would chose to shop here anyway - then there is a little extre incentive for you guys!  OK!!

Merry Christmas to all! Praise Him for coming as a precious, needy, dependant baby... worthy of a throne but thankful for a manger! We are so blessed by His promises.  We may 'feel' defeated by some of life's circumstances... but the only truth lies in victory:  Jesus.   

I do promise to get back to this blog... and post about "normal" life -- but as most of you know, the last 6 months have been more than challenging and I'm just trying to catch my breath and get a stride going here! And I promise to send out REAL Christmas cards next year!!! :) I plan to go update Caleb's Caringbridge site as well. If you don't know what I'm talking about... sorry I didn't keep you in the loop. Visit Caringbridge.com and look up Caleb Elston!!!
