  1. I’m sporting the pretzel today – in red!

    We’re taking our first family photo with my daughter-in-law to be. I’m so exctied. I’ll send you a copy as soon as we can.

  2. thanks for sharing!!! i went right to my closet and tried this out. we dont wear scarves too often in So.Florida but now i know how to tie one if i ever need too…and it looks super cute!

  3. More! More! I have about 25 scarves and love to wear them (it’s 7 degrees here today!) but have very few ideas other than the boring “tie it in a knot” in the front. This pretzel twist looks really neat and it wasn’t too hard to do. If you have any other ideas I’d love to see them.

    Ran across your blog from a friend’s blog and now read you faithfully. I bought the brave love necklace the first time I was here and it has my husband’s and my 4 kids’ names on it. Not to be morbid but I think I will be buried in it someday it is so beautiful and meaningful to me. My kids love it!

    Also love when you share craft ideas. Your pictures are absolutely gorgeous and belong in a coffee table book. Were you ever a professional photographer or just a skilled hobbyist? You should consider putting your pictures in a digital book – I do Creative Memories digital bookmaking and you could easily put one together.

    Best wishes for a great holiday season!

  4. Dear Lisa
    I found your blog by chance and I really have come to the heart, your stories and especially your children. Matty’s tenderness toward his brother and especially David, their progress and happiness in his face.
    My name is Silvia I live in Spain specifically in Malaga, I’m married and I have a beautiful girl named Isabel and now three years old.
    My English skills are very basic to write so I am using a translator, please forgive my grammatical errors.
    I read your blog from the first day (December 2006) using the translator, many days of reading! but I’m very happy for having met you and your family.
    you made me think you have to live day to day and be happy with the good and bad. I think your son’s disability plans you truncate your “normal family” but have you grown in adversity and you are a wonderful family with some beautiful children.
    I learned a lot these days to read.
    Thank you very much for opening this “window” through which I could meet you.
    With all my love Silvia

    PD: I pray to God and my loved ones are in heaven every day, now also do it for you and especially David.

  5. That is a wonderful idea! I will have to try it with a scarf I am wearing tonight for my birthday dinner! Thank you for sharing! I am also wearing a necklace that you made called “through my lens necklace” <3

  6. Perfect timing. I am wearing a scarf today and just sat here and followed your easy instructions! My friends are going to jealous. Thanks!! It will be in my WIWW post tomorrow.
    See you there and at Blissdom…I hear. Oh c’mon you know you want to be on our party flight enough to make the drive.
