It is a hot start to August! 106 degrees here in Texas today, I thought we were going to get by with a pretty "mild" summer after last year's record breaking heat. But it appears we are in a little heatwave right now. However it is Texas, it is August, so we should expect this I guess.
Something else that is "Hot" is happening over at Bags By Hags I am going to be doing some re-structuring of my shop before we head into the busy Holiday Season, which means great deals for you! I have decided to discontinue my aprons so starting later tonight all the aprons in my shop will be discounted by 50%. Head over to the Apron Section and browse, be sure you check back later tonight or tomorrow to grab an apron at 50% off!
On this road we call life everyone of us at some point rounds that corner and hits the spot where life starts to chunk lemons at us. You want to scream ENOUGH, or just give up. I find my self in that very spot of the road these days but no amount of lemons will shake my Faith, because I know the Good Lord will get me past this spot in the road. So life I am going to chunk a few lemons right back at you and count my blessings!
I have God on my side who so loved me that he gave his only son so that I may have everlasting life!
I have a wonderful loving family
I have a nice cool home in this terrible heat we are having
I have food in my cabinet
My best friend is my Sister that is a double blessing!
I am able to care for my Mother and spend time with her in her golden years.
I am blessed and proud to be the Head Hag of Bags By Hags
So go ahead chunk those lemons, because hey it's Free Lemons!

Summer is a busy time at the box office, all the latest and greatest big budget movies are in full swing. This years movies include super heroes, a talking teddy bear, and some "Magic" dancing.
The Handmade Circle Team has been so busy with our Christmas In July sale we haven't had much time to take in the Summer Blockbusters, but I did manage to grab a few of these hardworking elves and ask them to review some Christmas Movies. Here are their Must See Christmas Movies:
Not
sure if this is technically a Christmas movie, more of a chick flick
but it's set at Christmas time, called Love Actually. Cute movie and
the little boy in it is adorable, not to mention Colin Firth and Hugh
Grant ;)
Kate of Pieces Of Home recommends getting comfy for her pick!
It's
a wonderful life! The best movie Ever!! Get your PJs on, your hot
chocolate, your popcorn, your pillow and blanky.... And a box of
tissue and you are set! Nothing says Christmas like that movie says
Christmas!
Its
a wonderful life - because its a classic! Cannot go through the
holiday season without watching it 2-3 times! and of course, Rudolph
The Red Nose Reindeer! My favorite animated holiday movie! I LOVE it!
Either
It's a wonderful life or Mr Krueger's Christmas
Amy of Lucary reviews Christmas's most loved but not your ordinary family...
My
favorite Christmas movie is Christmas Vacation! The whole thing is so
funny and watching all the Vacation movies
with my parents and
brother and sister, and now with my family...I'll watch that ANY time
of year!
Kathy of Flowertown Originals tells us what movie tells us the "True" meaning of Christmas..........
My
favorite Christmas movie has to be A Charlie Brown Christmas. I
watched it every year when I was a kid. It came out the year I was
born! Even now if I see that it's coming on, I have to watch it.
Charlie Brown wants to know what Christmas is really all about and it
takes a kid carrying a blanket to tell us the true meaning of
Christmas. And 46 years later, we still need that reminder.
Coral of Toppytoppy likes to watch a child outsmart two blundering robbers.
Home
Alone.- cuz i can't get tired of hear my grandson laughing everytime
he watches it!
Dora of Chumaka tells us about a classic New York Movie:
Original Miracle on 34th Street, Just love everything about that movie and that it's in Black and White.
Karalee of Ifrogcrafts tells us about a classic, a miracle, and a reindeer:
I
have 3: "White Christmas", "Miracle on 34th Street"
- the original & "Prancer"
As for me the Head Hag of Bags By Hags here is my favorite Christmas Movie, because it is full of talented folks offering great handmade items at a wonderful price!
