You remember Meg right?
She is the one from THIS post where we all died laughing watching her try and catch a groundhog, oh the hilarity...
More on that next week. I know, be excited, you are going to love this.
Anyway, Meg has booked her flight....SQUEEEEE!!
Excited doesn't even start to describe how I am feeling right now. She is coming with her 3 beautiful children and I cannot wait to bask in their sweetness. I miss my sister so much and I literally live for visits like this. I haven't seen her since last Summer when I went to visit my folks in Colorado and Meg and her family met me there. Big Daddy and Jordan haven't seen Meg and the girls in two years and they have never met the baby who is now a year old. We are ALL tickled pink and are looking forward to our little section of time with them when they come to our house.
OK so beyond Happy about that!
I am also loving this warm weather we are having, our pool has been divine! We cannot get enough of it, and actually feel bad that more people are not enjoying it. So if you live close by, call...the pool is totally open!!
I am so HAPPY that there is already a great group of girlies signed up for my Red, White and Blue Swap! This is going to be such a quality swap. So may of the bloggers who have signed up are women who have put together the most thoughtful packages in past swaps. We also have a few newbies that I just know are going to add to this already amazing group. Have you signed up? There are a few spaces left, I am keeping this one small...so get over there, if you want to play.
Speaking of bloggy friends...Big Daddy was reading the blog the other day and he said, "Wow, you have over 600 followers!" I was surprised and said, "I do?" This makes me very happy, knowing that so many people want to join in the fun here. YAY! Now I would be REALLY happy if the 400 people who stop in each day would leave some comments...that would thrill me. I am a comment whore, what can I say? I mean as long as you are stopping in why not say hello, right?
J and I have been saving some of her special tee shirts and tops from special occasions. For a few years all of the BFF matching shirts and outfits she has outgrown go into a box titled, "Jordan's Memory Tees". I had a big plan of someday turning them into a quilt. Well that day finally arrived. My sweet friend Caroline helped me make this DARLING tee-shirt quilt for J as part of her graduation gift (and when I say help I mean I sent her the teeshirts and said, "I trust you, love ya, mean it". And she worked her magic and sent this back)...LOVE!! J loves it!! Isn't it adorable?!
Do my long time readers recognize some of these shirts?
awww...swimming with dolphins, a forever memory
one of her gloves from the Miley Cyrus concert!
I think I will go through my photos and put together a whole post on this quilt...I think that would be really fun for J.So that's my Happy List this week! What's on your happy list? How about making a post with your happy list and linking up! Grab my cute button below and let's have a linky party!!

How great that you will get to spend time with your sister Meg! I don't know what I would do without my sisters.
That quilt is fabulous! What a great way to remember some really special times!
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only comment whore out there :)
I love the tee-shirt quilts! I wish I would have done that with my shirts.
Yeah for sisters!!
I love the quilt! It turned out great! I made one with mine and my husband's shirts awhile back. I love the cute buttons in the griding.
Ooh, I love the t-shirt quilt. Would love to see a how-to on it! :-)
I LOVE how the quilt turned out. What a great idea you had! Great job, caroline! I love it.
Can't wait.
I LOVE the quilt.. I've wanted to make one for the kids with their baby clothes, but haven't done it. My aunt had one made for my uncle with all of his BBQfestshirts from teh past 30 years. I think he almost cried when she gave it to him.
GREAT list this week! LOVE J's new quilt & sisters are THE BEST! Sooo excited you get to spend time with her & kiddos. Yay!
I finally linked up! Stinkin' blogger was givin' me fits! Anyway...yay for visits with sisters! I get to see one of mine next month, and then again 2 months after that. So lucky to have them!
I think Roon and I will probably end up making a T-Shirt quilt out of all our concert shirts eventually. Such an awesome idea for a keepsake!
Hi! I'm back!! Ooooo, I love the quilt.
Have a nice day!!
I love how excited you are to see your family - I guess I take living close to mine for granted. Family really is the best. And what a great idea with the t-shirt quilt! I think I may have to start saving some shirts - I just need to find someone who can quilt!
... and if i lived closer I would be in that pool soooo fast! Enjoy!

That is amazing! I wanted to make a quilt for my mom out of all her "fat" clothes when she dropped so much weight...but I never did and I suck cuz I can't find em anymore. I had saved em, too!
I linked up! Sorry, I'm a little late.
