I CHALLENGE YOU!

A fellow Close To My Heart sister, Jennifer Farrell, is helping with a fundraising event to help fight childhood cancer. Her 9 year old son, Alexander, will be shaving his head for to raise money, and he has set a goal to raise $1000.00 for this very worthy cause. The event takes place March 14, 2009.

If you can even spare a dollar, he would so much appreciate the help in reaching his goal.

Now, the challenge is this...........yesterday, I donated $25.00 to this very worthy cause. For any of you who MEET or BEAT my donation, you will receive a small "thank you" in the mail from me.

Should you decided to take me up on my challenge, please send me an email at tammypinchard@myctmh.com with you mailing address!

Now, let's see if we can get little Alexander to his goal!

ARE YOU READY FOR A SALE?!?!

In March there will be a sale available on my website http://www.tammypinchard.myctmh.com/ The sale may include the following stamp sets. If you are at all interested, I would recommend shopping early! They seem to fly off the warehouse shelves very quickly when these sales come up! I will post more details when they are available (probably Thursday evening)!


Also, keep in mind that these are the Close To My Heart CLEAR My Acrylix stamp sets! They are amazing to work with since you can see right through them for proper placement, and are of very high quality! I thought a bit of a sneak peek at the sets would help you prepare.

Just Saying Hello!

Well, life has been incredibly busy to say the least, it always seems to be. But, I think this is a good thing as it keeps me young!

I have so many things in the works right now, but I am NOT leaking anything out. I'm going to keep all of you sitting on the edge of your seats, and checking back regularly to see what is going on!

Hope you are all doing well. I know I'm tired of battling the colds, the cold weather. I am ready for spring, except for the fact that I have not yet started on my allergy meds. Better get going on that before everything starts blooming or I will be miserable!

Congratulations to our EWC Division 2 Regional Champions!!

Wow, what can I say! This group of boys and coaches lead us through an amazingly exciting Valentine's Day this past Saturday!

Each of the boys pictured with the charts were Champions in their weight class. The team over all pulled off the EWC Division 2 Regional Championship and will head to team sectionals tomorrow (Tuesday).

These boys were so exciting to watch, let me tell you! I am so proud of each and every one of them, even if they are not "my" sons!

Lance came into this competition seeded third, so our hopes were high. Each of the boys that managed to pull off either a championship or second place in their weight bracket moves onto individual state competition. Lance had a very off day. He was not at all wrestling like himself and unfortunately lost both matches he had. He ended up placing fourth, which isn't terrible considering he is a freshman and this was his first taste of all of this.

But, as I said, he did not at all bring his "A" game to this competition at all. He had a nasty cold he was attempting to recover from, so I am not sure if that affected him or not. But, hopefully he will turn things around and give the team his all at the team compeition!

Good luck to all of you! We are all so proud!

Our Precious Grandson

It has been sometime since I have posted updated pictures of our sweet grandson Anthony. I cannot believe he is almost 21 months! Where does that time go? I just don't know, honestly!
Anthony playing with his glasses from his Mr. Potato Head that Grandpa got him for Hanukkah. He calls Mr. Potato Head "Elmo". He LOVES Elmo, so I guess he thinks every toy he likes is Elmo!

Here he is playing with "Uncle, Uncle"! This is his name for Lance because he cannot say the "L" in his name yet.

And here he is with Grandpa and LucasJon opening his Mr. Potato Head. He says "LJ" really well! He just loves his uncles & grandpa to pieces. If they are around, Grandma is none existant unless he wants a "bass" (bath). Then he knows to come to Grandma! We have a whirlpool tub that has jets in it and he has learned how to press the button when he wants "bubbes" (bubbles). We are so blessed to have him in our lives. He is such a joy, and we love spending time with him. I can't believe he will be 2 in a blink of an eye!
