I love decorating indoors for spring! Transform your winter "blahs" into something beautiful! Each of you has special niches in your home that draw you to them. You’ve made it through the cold, drab winter and now it’s time to spruce things up a bit. Think about the colors you love the most. Your special […]

Let me tell you about my gift from God…a hobby that gave me such a purpose and drive to greet every day. But first, I had to overcome a lot of obstacles. When I was twenty-eight years old and first sick with fibromyalgia, it was very depressing to wake up in the morning not knowing […]

Busy Week; Joyful Week Even when I'm having a hard week physically as Fibromyalgia seems to attack my body more, My heart is still smiling this morning. We woke up this morning to the three precious kiddos who have been with us since Friday. Matt's job at New Spring church took him to Charleston, SC to […]

My wreath-making expertise was gained in bits and pieces, kinda like twigs. I’ve offered those tidbits to you in the same way: in bits and pieces. So… My twig tip for today is…. Honeysuckle.

Many subscribe to my Inner Circle or follow me on Facebook and enjoy my Ladybug Wreaths website while […]

Most of you know me as the lady behind Ladybug Wreaths. You may have even read my book or followed my blog posts as I’ve shared my journey through fibromyalgia. I’ve spoken about my successes and some of my failures. But rarely do I speak about the really dark years, the ones where God allowed […]

Looking Back… This blog post was written almost 8 years ago.  It was the day when "My Secret Vendors" was first released. This first release contained 200 pages.  Now, after 7 rewrites, it contains OVER 750 pages of my "SECRETS"    "Thank You God" By, Nancy Alexander That I Am Tired… Where Do I Start? I'll […]

I’ve talked about my illness many times and how debilitating it could be. For years, fear held me back. I had a host of excuses lined up as to why I had every right to be afraid of failure. I didn’t think I “had what it took” – strength and determination. I didn’t want to […]
