Marion County Arkansas!

Well our new home is located in Marion County Arkansas! We will be moving at the end of September with the help of Tim and Derek! I would have loved to stay in Iowa, but warmer weather, Bull Shoals Lake, and my dream business await me. If you would like to keep in touch please feel free to email me at paintedpicture@yahoo.com or check back future updates.

Final Move!

Once again life takes us down a road that is unexpected and once again I will move on to greener pastures! With the return of Pebbles, Chip, Ginger, Abby, and Freedom, we will relocate to a safer county, where we can all finally be free. This will be the best for all of us and it will create many new opportunities for us at The Quilted Garden and Mya Kennels. I'm truly blessed and life will now be full of lots of laughter and an incredable amount of love! A special thank you to all of my friends old and new that have helped me through this difficult time! Watch me shine!

Mudhollow Road

It's always a great time on Mudhollow Road at the Mann's. Thanks for always being there year after year for us kids! LOL Watching the flag go up and great singers sing made me miss dad, but we all know he still watches over us and is laughing with us. Please say a special prayer for the Halterman Family, Conia is not feeling the best! It was so nice to just sit and hold his hand! Thanks again for all the years and the traditions on Mudhollow Road.

Shining!

Shine with me!

Vacation is over, back to the real world and back to work! Watch for updates!

Something tells me after last nights conversation, I need to share an Angel with a great friend! I'm sure Pam at Wild Wings will love it!

Angel of Strength!

Sometimes you have to deal with your past in order to move forward with your future! I'm in a position to make many of my dreams come true. It is truly a wonderful feeling to pray for happiness and have your prayers answered!

It's amazing on my journey through life that I've finally found peace with all my past! I'm finally living my dream and it's truly amazing! It's like finding the perfect fabric, cutting it apart and block by block creating a beautiful quilt. I'm so grateful to God for this opportunity!

I am so fortunate to have many blessing in my life! It is such a wonderful feeling to be walking in my shoes right now. May God bless everyone and truly treasure the gifts he gives you.

This is part of my wonderful family.

I'm loving my nice little house!

Had a great couple of days off! Working on the new garden, sewing, and enjoying life. Had a great visit with my son and his family. I'm excited about the new baby coming next week as I'm sure Jenny, Josh, and Makenzie are too. I'm truly blessed in my life right now. I have a great family, great friends, good job, and a wonderful life to look forward to. I believe I've found that special someone to share my happiness with. Patience is not my virtue, but knowing this could be the perfect romance makes me truly smile! When you miss someone, your heart grows fonder! Can't wait to see you Leif. May God bless all of you!

It's so wonderful be truly happy with all of God's gifts and to living my dreams! I am truly blessed!

I'm finally back on track! Building my new garden and I'm about to have the time of my life, which has been a long time coming. Thanks to my wonderful friends and my kids for being there for me through a very difficult time in my life. I finally made it! LOL It's great to be back.
