for baby Maddox...

This is for a sweet mama to be while she is awaiting her little chick to hatch. So glad you loved it as much as me, Melissa. Thanks again!

for baby Piper...

Thanks again, Kelli. Hope she loves it!

our latest edition...

This is our newest member of the Morris family... baby donkey "Sambo". Isn't he the cutest. His proud mama won't let him leave her side, so we have not been able to get our hands on him yet. Carter laughs about his "big ol' ears"!

Did you here that?...

The last book counted for inventory... this year's gradebook being closed for the last time... the last page of the yearbook (except ads) being tweeked before publishing... the last child leaving the building after picking up the report card they were supposed to get on Wednesday...

School's out for summer!!! Everyone have a great, safe summer season. Enjoy it, because it won't last for long.

I will be taking a vacation from life as I know it for 12 weeks. The orders I am currently working on will be the last of the summer. So if you have contacted me, we're good to go. I'm sorry to have to do this, but I want a restful summer vacation, too.
I will, however, be working on Christmas cards, so to place orders for those, please contact me at my home number. (local customers only, sorry, I can't afford the shipping on a 4x8 ft piece of wood!)

Thanks so much to all my loyal readers and customers. See you in August!

for sweet little Lawson Cane...

I hope you enjoy your canvas, Kylie. Just remember to enjoy that precious baby boy the most of all! Congratulations, again. You too, John.

another peek for a chick waiting to hatch...

Okay, as we speak, one of my very besties, Kandi, is in a hospital in Jackson, TN being induced with her first bundle of joy. We were college roomates at Tech and have kept in close reach ever since. (We have way too much dirt on each other to ever try and back out of the friendship, haha...) Anyway, if I know her well, she is stilling surfing the net and blogging/email, etc. So here's you a little eye candy of what's coming your way, KK. See you in a few hours. Love you.

(Ben and I begged them to name this child Tom, since it would flow so well with Collins, but she blew off our suggestions. I don't think she takes us very seriously for some reason.)

a sweet gift...

Thought this made a sweet Mother's Day or any day gift for those special sistas in your life.

Happy Mother's Day...

Love this verse. (Wish I could always live up to it.) Happy Mother's Day to my mother and many more.

gone fishin....

A couple of weeks ago, the boys and I went on a little fishing trip. It was actually Carter's very first, and you talk about excited. He kept up with his "fricket bucket" the whole time and was such a big helper with depositing our catches in the ice chest. Our overall total was 116 fish! (These little brim were biting the bait as soon as our hooks hit the water.) The top pic is of 3 beautiful Mallards we surprised on the pier. Their symmetry while swimming was an excellent example of our Father's creation. Just simply splendid.

Thanks again to Mr. Robert Lee and Mr. Kenney for this great opportunity.
