I want to remind everyone that we have a contest and it ends today - I will post winner on Thursday!! I will post on the blog the winner and will need that winner's to email me so that I can have the prize mailed to you!! I will have a video picking the winner!! BUT we are having inet issues so please be patient. I know most of you know that we are up in the mountains in Idaho and eeek we have to switch broadband service because of the signal issues.
We have done so much crafting and really working hard at having a good time - lol. It's been wonderful "But" I really miss having my inet. Which means I am really missing my blogging pals. And I am so missing my May for Me friends.

May for me
May 16, 2011
Moving Day
Today is moving day. We are only traveling 110 miles today. Well over night in Pasco, WA and then head off to Idaho tomorrow. Everything is packed, cleaned and amazingly organized. It was so cute last night Jorge had said to me. "Are you OK? Are you stressed?" - you see I am freak and freak out real easy when it comes to cleaning - I always would rather clean by myself then have someone around. But with the rains yesterday I just didn't have that option. I said to him "Yes I'm OK and no I am not stressed" why? Well because you didn't yell at me once. LOL - it's true folks I didn't. But there was one last cubby to work on - the coffee cubby and I don't make coffee and so I am never in the cubby. Jorge got scared LOL because it was anything but clean or organized. He feared he'd be the one reason I'd blow my lid off.
But I didn't. It meant a lot to me that he cared enough and feared me enough to know better. But it wasn't that bad and took me about 20 minutes to clean and re-organize everything . All is right in our world again...
So for May for Me for the next 5 days will be still about relaxing - just non crafting wise - I will post pictures of our RV fun until we are in our summer location and all of our inventory is unpacked and put in it's spot.
We'll be beading for our next May for Me Project. Both Jorge and I and so it should be a lot of fun - and we won't be alone. We'll have our wonderful friend Sue from Lake Whales, FL that will be working for the same company and who is going to be my teacher this summer in crocheting and knitting - I so need to up my skills so that I can be in the same league as my very talented husband.
Please add us to your prayers today and hope to see some comments tonight (if we have wifi). I hope that everyone has a wonderful day!!

May for Me Saturday
Well we are 2 sleeping nights from leaving Oregon. We hit the road Monday morning. And today it's about putting stuff away and sorting things out - FUN!!
Jorge's winter boss has invited us over for dinner and we are thrilled. Jorge of course is like a little kid when it comes to food - even our friends know this (Sue our friend sent Jorge for his birthday 2lbs of fudge - pan size fudge and peanut brittle to last a year in normal terms but for Jorge is lasted no more then 2 weeks) and so often he gets treat packages via snail mail - SPOILED he is.
So today I will post pictures (and I am so sorry I used Jorge's camera - mine is really starting not to work because of the camp host last season dropping it - errrrr but it wasn't her fault but the other person who caused it - ERRRRRRRRRRRRR lets not go there).

May for Me Barbie's Q & A
Q: Who are you?
A: My name is Reese (after Reese Witherspoon - for her beautiful blonde hair)
Q: So Reese, What brought you here to "May for Me"?
A: Well you see, I work for Jorge Sanchez. I model his outfits for him.
Q: Can you tell us a little about "May for Me"?
A: Well if you CLICK HERE you can read all about and sign up for their $20 gift card giveaway but I
can tell you this much. It's keeping me employed. And I am so thankful for "May for Me"
Q: How long have you worked for Mr. Sanchez?
A: Lets see it's gone so fast now - I think about 2 months now. And LOL you can call him Jorge everyone does.
Q: What is a typical day like for you?
A: Well, very simple and basic. I sleep in this wonderful container that's labeled Reese - see I am a top model and I have my own label (like the stars with their names on their doors). And when Jorge is ready for me to work I change into a lot of gorgeous outfits. I eat in between shots and take breaks whenever I want.
Q: What do you do when your not modeling clothes?
A: I read a lot - right now I'm reading this wonderful book called
It's a really good book and every girl under the age of 10 should have one...
Q: So you like to read?
A: I do and if you click the barbie amazon link you can get it at very good price.
Q: So your not only smart but thrifty too?
A: Well yes, Jorge pays me well but there are bills I have to pay like, gas, food, clothes and just every day wants and needs.
Q: Why did you leave your last job?
A: Well there are labor laws and just plain didn't like the way they treated their employees - here it's the best job I've ever had.
Q: What experience do you have in this field?
A: Watching TV
Q: Watching TV? Explain to us how this works.
A: Well have you ever seen the movie Mannequin? Well Jonathan Switcher who is played by my all time favorite actor Andrew McCarthy - who is a sexy dream boat. Well he falls in love with the Mannequin and I just pretend to be her.
Q:What is your philosophy towards work?
A: Well, I see how hard my boss and his wife Evielynne works and I always keep that in my head when I am working. If I do my best then they succeed and that means for a better check. I like how they work together and are always praising each other on their projects.
Q: Are you single? Married? Looking?
A: It's sad to say this out loud but yes I am single and yes I am looking. I know Evielynne is friends with this cool guy name Ken and she said soon we'll meet.
Q: Really? What do you plan on wearing when you meet this Ken?
A: Don't know my boss is making a designer dress just for the occasion.
Well Reese this has been one of the best interviews I've ever done. You are a lovely doll in every form. It's been a lot of fun talking to you. Now can I ask you to pose for the May for Me blog article?
A: I would be so honored! thanks for asking and can I just add that this has been a lot of fun for me too. I thought the interview would be more about my favorite color (which by the way is yellow) my favorite number and those sort of silly questions. Thank you this has been so much fun.
And here are some fantastic photo prints of the lovely Reese. I hope that you Facebook and Twitter this interview. Do post a question for Reese in the comment form and she'll be sure to answer them back!!

May for Me Practice SHOULD make Perfect
So today was suppose to be Jorge's day but we have a new schedule for our May for Me..
Monday: Jorge
Tuesday: Evielynne
Wednesday: Jorge
Thursday: Evielynne
Friday: Fun Day
Saturday: Follow-up for the week
Sunday: Church Words
So with it being Thursday I decided to take on Knitting... A simple pattern from Buddy Bears to Knit.
I started this at 11am and worked up until about an hour ago and I am sorry to report I need a lot of practice... A LOT!! The poor things is just NOT CUTE... I was going to give my Bear to JuneBug my cat but then decided that I am going to attach a key ring to and put it on my backpack. Why Not?
I should say something positive about today's project. I have never casted on after or added stitches to a working progress - So I rock at that now. I have never binded off with out using crochet hook and I can now bind off. So there you go I succeeded in my quest to learn something new!! Job well done and my pat on back is now done....
Now on with the giggles....
Jorge and I where chatting up a storm today and I had said "you know this May for Me is so good for us because it's allows me to challenge myself and put aside my fears. It forces me to put a time frame and do the best that I can on my chosen project" And it's working sort of lol... Will I make another? Sure only this time I will use a bigger needle - this was done on sports yarn and using a size 4 needles - I have never worked on a project with small needles before.
