"A Family Affair" - updated March 5, 2009

"A Family Affair" is my new business/hobby started in May of 2008. I can monogram just about anything and keep on hand several gift ideas - great for graduation, wedding, baby shower, birthday gift, etc. The pullover bibs are my newest creation. They are so wonderful. As part of this "Family Affair", Ashleigh paints clothing and canvas' that are great for children - her pictures are included also - and then any sewing needed is done by my mother - Peggy Shelton. So it really is "A Family Affair!"

Thanks for stopping by our corner of the world and let us know what you have in mind. We'd love to make that perfect something just for you. Everything is made by hand so no two items will ever be the same.

Snow much fun in March 2009

Much to our surprise - the weatherman actually hit it in the right direction. We had in the forcast to get a couple inches of snow - but instead - a foot or more fell on Brownsville, TN and we had drifts of much more than that. It fell on a beautiful Saturday night so look out Sunday - we broke out the four wheeler and the sled and HAD A BLAST!!!!! All the neighborhood children and adults played all day long. Our neighbor Mr Joe Barden, even got the flat bottom boat out and pulled it with the tractor. That was CRAZY but so much fun. We rode till we just couldn't take the cold anymore and then came in and dried off and warmed up and went back at it again. The kids were out of school Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday so they played and played and played.

Thank you Jesus for snow and for all the fun we had!!!!!

4th Place - Go Strong Wheels!!!

We were all so surprised when we walked in the YMCA last night and saw that our team was in 4th place. We just didn't expect it. Our team had a low lbs lost this week but had many great workouts. We know we're building muscle even when we're not loosing the lbs. This has been the best experience for me. Our friendships have grown and we have met so many people in this process. Everyone is SO encouraging of each other. There are so many positives that are coming from this. We are dedicated to stick to this until the end and beyond. We are already talking about how we're gonna work out once this competition is over. Thank you to all of the trainers that are giving of their time to help so many. You mean more that you can imagine. Keep up the GREAT work everyone and let's all "pay it forward!!!"
