FAMILY TIME...
Greetings dear reader!
Just thought I would share with you some of the things happening in the Clouse House this summer: First, my dear sister and darling niece Emileigh were here:
Hubby dear and I took them to a few fabulous places:
Walkers Bluff in Carterville, IL. A winery, general store and restaurant extraordinnaire!
We also took them to the Alwahast Restaurant and Hookah Lounge: Home of Afghan and Bedouin cuisine! We thought they might enjoy getting to eat something akin to Sudanese food while here at home.
And for their art-loving side, we took them to the little community of Makanda.
My sister, who's a missionary said only *I* would take her to a winery, hookah lounge and tatoo parlor (Makanda Trading Company: the tatoo parlor was in an attached room) lol! But she said she loved it!
We also spent a day watching Fiddler on the Roof and creating jewelry. I'll show you my creations using the "tape transfer method" next time!
Just got back from a Disaster Relief Trip in Alabama...more on that later! Also, I have a creative idea (shhhhhhhh! I don't want to jinx the mojo!) I'll share with you next time as well!
More soon!

I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK...SORT OF...
Greetings, dear reader!
Just a note to say I am back to blogging again...well...sort of. I came home from Michigan and have been amidst the mad flurry of doing disaster relief preparations and catching up with the kids and...and...working and cleaning. Hasn't been much time for crafting of late...hope to get back to it before summer's completely gone. Meanwhile, please keep me and my missions team in your prayers...we are taking toys to the tornado ravaged south (Jefferson County in Alabama) and helping to do clean up. More importantly, please keep the dear people of Alabama in your prayers. Many have lost family members as well as everything they own. We will seek to comfort those who mourn and weep with those who weep.Will report upon our return!
