He has stuck by me through thick and thin. We spent a few days on the beach with the girls and our friends, and had an awesome time. It's so nice to get away together and away from the grind. The girls and I are about to start school and the routine begins again. I will look back on the fun things we did this Summer and it will help me through some of the rough times I am sure!

Anybody out there?? This is my 100th post, and I had hoped to do something really special for this post BUT it's not working out. Hopefully, keep your fingers crossed, we will be able to announce the news SOON! SOOOOO here is a little glimpse into my latest endeavor. I am making headbands. Sound crazy? Well that's how it goes for me! It is! This past weekend I went to Crop Connection and I did not feel like cropping so I took some junk to make the girls headbands instead of buying the generic ones in the stores. Here ya go! If you are interested in one let me know! </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Anna Besshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188981953531854247noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947496814157536474.post-4976472311339765792010-01-23T21:05:00.002-06:002010-01-23T21:59:33.234-06:00Girl's Loft Projects for January!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihfWp4cvfGzKhgUdmGGTtthVPxvTIKP2Iri1Puvn_0xQrAjshyphenhyphenYh8Cemjk7YA_9LFiFx99aYizMiSa5fw8I51UmAZggFp2BppDVPAGSqtmv4zM4PUByf13h07ootdUWp3vWeRRYblw2NUq/s1600-h/gloftjanquote.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430147854513115858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihfWp4cvfGzKhgUdmGGTtthVPxvTIKP2Iri1Puvn_0xQrAjshyphenhyphenYh8Cemjk7YA_9LFiFx99aYizMiSa5fw8I51UmAZggFp2BppDVPAGSqtmv4zM4PUByf13h07ootdUWp3vWeRRYblw2NUq/s400/gloftjanquote.JPG" /></a> This is a plaque I made using a Tim Holtz Quote stamp that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdpQA-fzM2oCLZkOvmy9NtiOWPZqt5XwfK0Mub8oaAqfyHFnOkj9pcb7NE_vCYXdEYr-uwTFO3J7E1939Nz5h2tV_7DeK4iz_tjRbqljJjlfJB8sOtpQ0dlMCITal-UVSY-Or2lcLwWFo-/s1600-h/gloftjanhouse.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430147851258289346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdpQA-fzM2oCLZkOvmy9NtiOWPZqt5XwfK0Mub8oaAqfyHFnOkj9pcb7NE_vCYXdEYr-uwTFO3J7E1939Nz5h2tV_7DeK4iz_tjRbqljJjlfJB8sOtpQ0dlMCITal-UVSY-Or2lcLwWFo-/s400/gloftjanhouse.JPG" /></a> A little canvas reminder.

My friend Melissa took this picture when we were being creative(frees my mind) this past weekend. I figured I would wait a while to reveal this one. The fact that I got the first one was shock enough for some of you.<br /><br />Humbled. Broken. Desperate. Weak. Ashamed. Am I the only one? Doesn't really matter. God has once again allowed me to go to a place where I HAVE to seek him to survive. HE has reminded me of HIS grace, MERCY, forgiveness, unconditional LOVE, and that no matter how undeserving... I AM BLESSED. I have no words when I try to express how much it means to me that my family and friends LOVE and lift me up even when I am so tarnished. I am HIS child. I am so thankful! No matter how unworthy, I will praise him, seek him, beg HIM to show me the way. I am seeking something. Not sure what. If you are a believer, please pray for me. GOD has plans for me, BIG plans. He has saved me too many times. Even though 2010 started pretty crappy, and I don't make resolutions, I want to make a DECISION to seek HIM first in everything. I am praying that this year will be more of a blessing than the last, and that's a pretty big step up! I pray the same for you! Hold me accountable. I LOVE you Andy. You are my rock. I love you girls. You are my JOY. I love you friends. You tell it to me straight, and you laugh and cry with me. Thank you GOD for saving me.You are my strength. Without you, I am nothing.<br /><br /><br />*Note- I pulled this post for a bit bc I felt it made me too vulnerable to haters, BUT that is what HE calls us to be. Not so confident in ourselves, but in him. So, if you choose to use this against me, come on. It's only making me a better person in the end.Anna Besshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188981953531854247noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947496814157536474.post-36594485699491342192009-12-30T21:58:00.002-06:002009-12-30T22:06:13.350-06:00A Peek into Our Christmas- 2009<embed style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 320px" name="flashticker" align="middle" src="http://widget-86.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3026418949633099398&site=widget-86.slide.com"></embed> <div style="WIDTH: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3026418949633099398&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-86.slide.com/p1/3026418949633099398/bb_t047_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3026418949633099398&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-86.slide.com/p2/3026418949633099398/bb_t047_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3026418949633099398&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-86.slide.com/p4/3026418949633099398/bb_t047_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" /></a></div>Anna Besshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188981953531854247noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947496814157536474.post-7547324158389841662009-12-28T12:11:00.002-06:002009-12-28T12:17:57.630-06:00Christmas Dresses<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGdqsHmux9eDCvfi8gHfJ7fEbRWDDldjkeZ7-QxUv0gj4W9R6sLB5-_JnuZnv16enLzQo4pQcXWxXoYZxhfSpzSfjaPkGc5zJ2uFAla2b8lIh-GAaa6mAKZ6PeUC7uWdhNE1YCEU9pyQHA/s1600-h/Christmas+dresses+09.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420352539675936722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGdqsHmux9eDCvfi8gHfJ7fEbRWDDldjkeZ7-QxUv0gj4W9R6sLB5-_JnuZnv16enLzQo4pQcXWxXoYZxhfSpzSfjaPkGc5zJ2uFAla2b8lIh-GAaa6mAKZ6PeUC7uWdhNE1YCEU9pyQHA/s400/Christmas+dresses+09.JPG" /></a>Just another Christmas memory.

We got quite a bit done, but still have a few things to do. HOPEFULLY, we will finish up tomorrow night after Adeline's program. Her gifted class is doing A Christmas Carol. Maybe I will have pictures sometimes this weekend.

Brent and Stephanie provided the four-wheeler and trailor and the golf cart for us to Trick or Treat in style. We had tons of fun meeting up with friends along our route. After a brief intermission of cupcakes and hot cider, we treated some more and then headed over to another couples house in the neighborhood and had chili and lots of other goodies. We talked and laughed for a while and then hopped on the golf cart and four wheeler and headed back to the Hesters where we we ended our evening.<br /><br />This past Saturday night we had our annual Fall Da Rah. My awesome friends, Melanie and Jennifer were hostesses with me. They help keep me grounded, if possible. It was a great time with about 30 kids or so and their parents. We had a hay ride or 10, bonfire with smores, and TONS of food. The kids enjoyed playing together and the adults enjoyed the fellowship as well. Afterward, my friends from LA. and their kids had their own private hayride where we proceeded to get stuck in the mud in the woods at 10:00 in the evening! A bit scary! After we put the wee ones to bed(all 7 of them!) we stayed up into the wee hours talking and laughing. The next morning was a great service at church and the music was wonderful as usual. I love singing on our praise team!<br /><br />Told you there was tons going on, sorry it's been SO long! Hope you enjoy the pics!</div></div></div></div></div></div>Anna Besshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188981953531854247noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947496814157536474.post-85312994300738595592009-10-18T22:38:00.003-05:002009-10-18T23:47:10.817-05:00Refreshing Weekend!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2w14CZ2TRMbUFooxKftX9ejmicg_CWi4esaOVDUC2z9_S3tVbnw6gz3gdX2WBM_FIttYm5m5-OeAymr5_4bY3MnuHUr23RFnip61E5AWqL_fmxIiikRqVMl6vFCFxJx2rTbhanyoLL57D/s1600-h/margie+and+me.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394160989692221490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2w14CZ2TRMbUFooxKftX9ejmicg_CWi4esaOVDUC2z9_S3tVbnw6gz3gdX2WBM_FIttYm5m5-OeAymr5_4bY3MnuHUr23RFnip61E5AWqL_fmxIiikRqVMl6vFCFxJx2rTbhanyoLL57D/s400/margie+and+me.jpg" /></a><br /><div>This weekend was absolutely AMAZING! I truly had a blast. My body is sore from laughing. You know you have a great time when that happens. I love my girlfriends and the different gifts they bring into my life. (Don't feel left out gf's at home. I feel the same about you!!) We sat around one night and just talked about the blessing of having each other and how GOD brought us together and what each of us has meant in the others lives. HE so knew what I needed and that I didn't have to settle. You know you have a life connection when you share some of the stuff we've shared and when you do something crazy and look up and all five of you are laughing so hard no sound is coming out and tears are streaming down your face! </div><br /><div>I was inspired by some of the greatest women in the scrapbook industry and did some awesome projects! It's also nice to talk to those ladies and have them encourage you. Thanks Margie for the words of encouragement and wisdom you shared. I am still in awe that you chose me to be on your team. I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!;) I am so glad we had a chance to crop and hang out into the wee hours. The wheels are spinning and great things are in the works! More on that a little further down the road.</div><br /><div>Last and most importantly, I am so blessed to have a husband who encourages me to go on retreats with my friends. He NEVER complains about me going. In fact he enjoys having the girls all to himself. They get into lots of good times at the skating rink or movies or just hanging out at the house. I miss them when I go, but cherish the girl time I get. It makes me such a better wife and mom. I enjoy going, but am really glad to get home! Nothing is sweeter than walking through that door and having my sweet girls run up and grab me and tell me they are glad I'm home. AND Andy never ceases to amaze me with his mad housecleaning skills! My house always looks awesome when I get home. They love to do that to surprise me!</div><br /><div>Just a summary of the weekend and a small glimpse into my life lately. Too busy taking advantage of God's precious gifts in my life to blog much. I'll get around to it again soon one night after everyone is asleep. Until then, having fun and counting my blessings!</div>Anna Besshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188981953531854247noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8947496814157536474.post-64232530535664614222009-10-15T13:08:00.002-05:002009-10-15T13:11:14.732-05:00OH YEAHHH.............I am being <a href="http://www.simplyscrappinstore.com/">SIMPLY INSPIRED </a>this weekend.

Thanks to Margie and the girls for their patience with me. Hopefully(?) we have all of this mess out of our systems. OH the joys of starting school! ANYWAY, here are my projects with another on the way! This kit was SO fun to work with! So many goodies! And the school stuff is really cute not gooby! Thanks for looking.
