Chain of Love!

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me!  My choice.  For you.  This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1.  I make no guarantees that you will like what I make for you.
2.  What I create will be just for you.
3.  It'll be done this year.
4.  You have no clue what it's going to be.  It may be a song.  It may be a self portrait or maybe even some creation I haven't yet dreamt up.  I may draw.  I may bake you something and mail it to you.  It may not be big or impressive.  Who knows?  Not you, that's for sure!  But lets be honest here.  This is me and I will likely do something amazing.  So come on sign up.
5.  I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The catch?  Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog.  The first 5 people to post this same blog on their blog and leave a comment telling me they did will win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me.  Let's keep the chain of love going around!! (I don't mind mailing out of state)

So excited!

So a bank in Ontario (the town a few miles away) had me take some pictures of main street and they used my picture for their billboard! I was pretty excited the first time I drove by it and new that it was my picture. Too bad it doesn't have a credit on it. Oh well. It was still exciting.

Miss McKenna

The other day Madison was taking a nap and McKenna looked super cute so we went outside to take and few pictures. These are what I got. I think she is so cute.

If you are interested......

I took this picture this last fall and I have to say that it is one of my most favorites. I am selling this print to try and help with travel expenses in my music adventures. (If you want more information on that leave a comment and I will send you an e-mail all about it.) Anyways, the cost of trying to get to places to share the music I have written is getting too expensive to try and pay for all on my own. So I am doing this to help. The size is a 10x20. You can get just the print or with a custom made frame (as seen in the 2nd picture). Your frame can be black, white, chocolate brown, or natural wood. Also you can get the print with or without the scripture. Just the print is $65 or print with frame is $125. If you would like to purchase one leave a comment with your e-mail or send and e-mail to stephaniehillman@gmail.com and we can work out the details. Thanks so much for all your support!

The light on this is different because it's hanging on my wall and there is a light shining on it and it was at night. So just know that the color is exactly like the print above.

One Proud Mommy!

In one of the firesides that I do, the primary song, Baptism is in it. I had a hard time finding a young person to come and sing it for me and so I decided to try and teach it to McKenna. She learned all three verses in just a few days and was so excited to sing it in front of people. I had my cousin get a video of this on my camera. It's kind of dark, but you can still see her and get the idea. Watch for the thumbs up she gives my other cousin. It's hilarious. I was so proud of her. She did such a good job for being only three years old. I loved every minute of it. Good job McKenna!

Utah

I just got back from being in Utah for a few days. I was down there doing a couple of firesides and it was a great time. This first picture is me and Tracy Collings. Our grandmothers are sisters and it was the first time that we met. I got to go to her ward and help with their YW New Beginnings. It was really neat. Thanks again for having me!

While we were there we got to stay with my cousin Kasey. I hadn't seen her in years so it was really fun to get to hang out with her again. I got to do a fireside for her ward down there as well. I had so much fun meeting new people and getting to share my programs with them.

The girls loved Kasey and had so much fun with her. McKenna was so sad that we had to leave her there all alone. And I'm sure that Kasey was very happy to have her house all to herself again. Thanks so much Kasey for everything! I couldn't have gotten everything done I needed to without you.

Another little perk was that I just happened to be there while a whole bunch of my cousins were together for a birthday party. So I crashed the party so I could get to see them all. It was so fun seeing everyone that I haven't seen in a really long time. I really enjoyed being around them all. It's too bad we can't all get together more often. But I am for sure grateful I happened to be there. Love you guys!

Maddie had fun with her 2nd cousin Kendra. They were fast friends and fun to watch. Hopefully we will get to be around all of them again soon!
