"My Succulent Discoveries of Art, Life, Creativity, Procrastination & More all by Accident"

... although I'm no Accident.....
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Psalm 139: 13~16

Showered with Love

Last Saturday, September 15th my family & friends showered baby "Cash" & I with lots of love!! Chita (my mom) Me (mommy) Gram (Eric's Mom)

The Brunkenhoefer family has 8 grandchildren.... so baby Cash is #9! Eric's mom is called "Gram" by all the grandkids. The Welch family has 1 grandchild.... Walker (my nephew) and
1 grandchild on the way! Walker is 15 months old so as of now my parents don't have that special grandparent name... yet!!

Check out the cake... isn't it cute with all those penguins! It was delicious!!


My girlfriends, Eric's mom & sister threw Cash & I a penguin themed shower! I am quite obsessed with penguins... So of course Cash's nursery will be just a bit penguin crazed!!


More Fabulous Friends!!





And More Fabulous Family!!

My mom gave me this beautiful quilt... My grandmother "NANA" started it before she passed away and my mom finished it for my son, her grandson, and my Nana's great grandson. Of course this was the point at the shower I began to cry, as well as my mom. I was very close with my grandmother... She passed away 0n January 7, 1997 and we buried her on my 23rd birthday, January 9, 1997. Now 10 years later I am very close to giving birth to her great grandson! My mom gave me a very special gift...something I will treasure always. She stitched both her name and my "Nana's" on the quilt. The quilt has cat's on it in different scenes...which is significant because .... My mother's maiden name is Cate which is also my middle name, Wimberley Cate.. If you take the "E" Cate off you get Cat.... and my mom's name is Chita... which is pronounced the same as cheetah... my aunt's name is Bobbie... so she is Bobcat... and my uncle's name is Tommy so he is Tomcat...
My son will have my grandmother's maiden name "McCall" as his middle name in memory of her! Cash McCall Brunkenhoefer!!

How blessed I am to have such wonderful friends and family!
The ladies who hosted the shower ended the shower with a beautiful prayer for baby Cash! They prayed over every inch of him, from his little head to his feet.... and even his future spouse... (although I'm not quite ready for that thought yet)!
It was very special and very precious... I will treasure it always!!
Thank God for Fabulous Friends and Family!! I'm Blesssed!!
