Changes happen all the time. Sometimes good and sometimes not so good. I, however will be only blogging of the good....
Will be so very happy for 2013 to be over, done with and gone. I suppose in all my life I have never truly not liked a year. I don't know exactly why, and it doesn't really matter why, but I have not liked it and I will very happy to step into 2014. Perhaps that is why there have not been many blogs this year....not much I really cared that much about blogging about. Fabulous Brooch Boutiques is a wonderful company, and I will continue telling you all of the wonderful things it is doing. Donna began working on a show and that became a real time consumer for her, so she didn't have the time to photograph and upload all the new beautiful designs. But, the show is now passed and she will be doing some photography and you will be seeing more on here about her and her beautiful bouquets. She can now be seen a bit on etsy,com if you want to take a peek there, but again....the show took her time. Look for MUCH more from Donna in 2014.
On to bonnib.....I will get www.bonniebsblings.com up and going in 2014. I will get www.eclecticarbor.com up and going in 2014. I will get https://www.facebook.com/eclecticarbor up and going in 2014. I will keep http://www.memories-are-just-that.blogspot.com up and really going in 2014. I will keep my pinterest page going....I would tell you how to find it, but I really at this time don't know how, except since I am the page....I know how. However over 550 others have found me and now following me, so I must be findable. Here, at this time is what I suggest. When you go onto the Pinterest page....just go into the search string there and type in......Polymer Clay Ideas and How To Tutorials....that may get you to me...if not...type in www.pinterest.com/bonnieblasingame/bonniebsblings ... If these don't do it...let me know and I will try to find out how. I will NOT procrastinate in 2014! I will NOT procrastinate in 2014! That will be the year that was......
I have some shows coming up for the Christmas season and they will be over on Dec. 12th and then I will relax and enjoy the rest of 2013 and joyfully welcome in 2014. I will start off fresh. Our goal is for Buddy to be able to retire within 2 years and our businesses presented on this blog will be able to support us. Remember: Philippians 4:13. That will be our cry!
So, today I began Tweeting...or actually following tweeters....I have not yet tweeted, for I do not know how. Another goal is to become familiar with Twitter and bring it into my new and exciting 2014 plans.
Got a new phone to really help me in the business. I got an Apple iPhone. I can now make and receive phone calls; charge my phone; text (a tiny bit on the tiny keyboard); take pictures and send them between phones. I have installed Apple software on my computer, as well as iTunes. I have promptly misplaced (I choose to use that phrase instead of lost) my phone to computer adapter! Boo Hiss! Will now go purchase another one so I can transfer my photos to my computer in a flash....and onto facebook in a flash....will find a special place to keep the new adapter so I can, at all times, put my hands right on it. I figure the thing to do is buy another one now instead of spending time looking for the other one...and when the other one turns up in the least expected place at the least expected time I will then have two....both of them will be kept in my very special place.
And so, now I close.....on to bigger and better things....see ya in the funnypapers!

Fabulous Brooch Bouquets
My very sweet and dear friend Donna is now using her wonderful talent (this girl can do anything)...she plays piano by ear; restores furniture; lays concrete; refinishes and redesigns decks and now she is making Fabulous Brooch Bouquets. She had "seen" a couple and decided she could do it....bought some brooches and her God given talent took over from there. Here are a few photos: (My personal favorite is the shabby chic....I would get married again just to carry this bouquet) (to the same man of course)!

What Happened is This!
This was written back in August to a friend who has really stood by me all the way regarding this, but am just today posting on here. I have never known exactly what to do with this "experience," and to be truthful, I still don't. The Lord will let me know. Meanwhile......
Today has been a real awakening for me....I KNOW what happened that day to me on the highway and how I was protected. I had fought what you had said in an email that my testimony must somehow be related to Joseph Prince and something he had said......I fought and cried and prayed that Joseph Prince was not what that one sentence said to me....I was so desperately hurt....because his ministry had and still did and still does mean so much to me in my life and with my walk with MY Jesus.... but somehow, for some stupid reason, I heard that his ministry was not interested in sharing my incredible testimony if I could not somehow be connected to Joseph Prince himself.....I knew I was wrong....I knew it, but when nothing happened with my testimony I lost hope....not with Jesus....and not with Pastor Prince, but with what had happened and could have possible been a cruel joke on me....I knew I had to get it out....I still do...and by the Grace of God I will!
I can hardly see through the tears to even write this and my heart is literally pounding out of my body! I can hardly breathe.....But, I know now how....and I know now why.....and it IS because Joseph Prince is SO incredibly loved and anointed by Daddy God, our ABBA Father....
It is because of a CD that I had turned on that morning I had in my JamBox or whatever that portable CD player thing is that I carried on all my trips and played his CD's and tapes...... at the Sonic I had the tape In His Presence in my player and as I put the car into reverse I hit the button... and that tape played me all the way to my stopping place on Interstate 75! The first song on that CD Pastor sings in the Spirit and does all the way through at different times, he preaches, he teaches.....through all that HE, my Jesus took me safely and I WAS IN the Spirit.....Oh my God........Pastor Prince has to know this....not just the marvelous way you condensed it for me....he has to read the entire thing he has to KNOW how anointed he is.....how powerful God has made his ministry......
I found this CD this morning as I moved all of my tapes to my den......and as I put it in and it began to play I KNEW....I KNEW....I listened to it all the way through knowing....knowing....praising

Divided we are....United Not So Much
Dear Blog, I love you so much. You are there to hear my every rant and feeling. Today I am very upset. I am so tired. I am discouraged. I would not know where to turn or what to do were it not for my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Something is happening that is beyond comprehension and that is that the truth is being bantered around as though it were a tennis ball. No one knows what is true anymore. It seems people no longer care whether or not it is true...just so they are the first one to be able to tell you what they "heard or saw." Most of which is something they heard from some one else who heard it and saw it, who got it from......But, come on, let's post it! Can you believe THIS?...they start their tirade.
NO! NO! I can't believe this....but something deep inside makes me sick.
I just don't know anymore what to think, listen to or believe. So, basically what I have done is isolate myself as much as possible from people, news and anything else other than the unchanging Word of God. It is the ONLY thing I can depend on these days, and always has been, but it is becoming more and more obvious every day.
I can hardly even find Christians who agree with me....I really am pretty far out. Then I talk to another Christian who is also pretty far out...just in a different direction. Then another....and another.
The Word tells us to fellowship, and I want fellowship so much. But, I cannot seem to find it. Don't get me wrong, I have friends, good friends, friends I love....but I have no fellowship! Does this make any sense? It may not to you, but it does to me.
United we stand and divided we fall is an old saying I remember from way back when I was a child. I find it incredibly relevant in today's climate. It seems that in almost every way we are divided. We are divided politically, personally, "religiously" and I say that in quotes because I detest religion, but that is what the world has named it, so I call it that so you will know what I am speaking of. We are divided on so many social levels, what does the Constitution say, what does it not say, what does it mean and not mean...and how about the Bible....it has been distorted, miscommunicated, changed, everyone "interprets" it in their own way.....
I believe God and I believe God's Word. I do not believe that the Word was given to confuse us, but rather to comfort us.
This is a letter to be continued............

Dennis Agajanian...Rebel To The Wrong!
Big day today. Bought a "record player," also known as a turntable these days. Here is what happened.....
Yesterday Buddy and I came home and there was a package on the step in a very narrow square box. Buddy said, "What is this?" I said, "Oh that must be the record I just ordered." Buddy said, "You ordered a record? We don't even have a record player."
Today we have a record player. It has no speakers, but it came with some hook 'em up things on the back of it, and we plugged them into our radio/cd player and we have music! Beautiful music.
I had been looking for a particular album for many, perhaps 20 years and I thought the name of it was "Fool's Gold." Turns out to just have been a cut....an excellent cut, which I remember, but nevertheless, just a cut. The album name is Rebel To The Wrong.
Listen up all you Bluegrass fans....the Bluegrass Festival is going on, starting tomorrow in Guthrie, Oklahoma....and you talk about Bluegrass, well if you look in the Dictionary under the word Bluegrass, you will see Dennis Agajanian's picture! Not only that but he is a CHRISTIAN bluegrass man. If I thought he was going to be there, I would get in my car, leave in the morning for Edmond, pick up Amy and head for Guthrie....then head back to Arkansas for Kyle's wedding, and then back to Oklahoma again to pick up Amy and head to Dallas to see Joseph Prince....and then back to Oklahoma to visit more with Amy, see my family, head to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to see a friend I have known for about 7 or so years, but I have never met her and another friend, the one and only Jospeph Bias, (I think he goes by Joseph today, but he is still Joe to me) and then back to Nashville....whew I am exhausted to even think about it.....but, as usual, I digress, I was talking about Dennis Agajanian!
This album was cut in 1981, I think, in Waco, Texas! The cuts should be played today on every Christian Radio station in America. It is almost prophetic! It will also make you jump up and down....want to two step, cowboy cha cha, waltz across Texas and worship! Now that is quite a bit for one little record album to deliver....but this one does!
We have a Church here in Nashville, called The Cowboy Church....lots of my country and western singer friends are there a lot....think I may go and see if Dennis is ever there.....
Digress again....the album....almost prophetic! Especially a cut called "Child's Cry." It was certainly off to a very good start in 1981....but is full blown today. We called them "latch key kids,"...they have become so much more than that. And this cut, warns of it....but, as usual, people didn't listen....it is a world of things....bigger houses, bigger televisions, bigger cars....bigger everything....bigger Day Care Centers....bigger before and after school programs for the children.....gotta work....gotta have bigger house...gotta - gotta - gotta....and somewhere in the midst of all this getting, no one hears the "Child's Cry."

Since I am SO good with this blog....I am going to create a twitter account
This is a note to myself...For about the 25th time, tonight I once again had to change my password to figure out how to get into my account. I do not know what it is that blocks that password from my mind....hmmmmm it is probably my mind telling me to drop this stupid blog and do something worthwhile! I have now put the password in a very safe place. Which I will hopefully not forget where the safe place is.
Well, I have chosen not to drop this stupid blog because as of now I have 6 people following it, going to it and being inundated with photos, creative writing, updates on news, updates on my very important doings of the day, etc. I have however decided to add twitting to my ever growing talents.
As I am already a twit, I should easily learn how to twit....or tweet or whatever one does there. I have made some other decisions as well.... I will learn this blog....other people use BlogSpot and have wonderfully interesting blogs....I can do that too. And I will...because, "I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me." That is straight out of the Bible ... Philippians 4:13.
I have procrastinated about so many things simply because I felt I was too old and tired and etc., that it began making me truly sick, and I don't mean unhealthy, I mean truly sick. I have so many things I want to do....here they are:
I want to make beautiful polymer clay jewelry
I want to sell my beautiful polymer clay jewelry
I want to work on this blog and write about Roy
I want to work on this blog and put up photos of Roy
I want to start twitting
I want to conquer facebook
I want to conquer this blog
I want to conquer twitter
I want to be a better wife
I want to be a better mother
I want to be a better grandmother
I want to be a better great grandmother
I want to be a better witness for Jesus
I want to be a better Christian
I want to be a better person
I want to be a better friend
Okay this is my list of for right now, which is already overwhelming! Oh my, how could I forget......I WANT TO WRITE A BOOK AND HAVE IT PUBLISHED!
So, I basically think about all I want to do and study things to help me do them and then do nothing else to do them.....I think I have seen a pattern develop here. I think I am going to have to start thinking about breaking this pattern. Hopefully I don't think about breaking this pattern that I begin procrastinating on breaking this pattern. Do you understand my dilemma here?
Why at 69 years old, did I decide to do all of these things? Couldn't tell you. Don't know why myself.
Oh yeah, I also forgot to that I want to learn to organize my time better....perhaps spend a bit more time doing than thinking....that could be a good step to take....I will think that through!

Today's Thought - Revelation 9 29 13
Today I learned through a song, something very important. The song is by Brandon Heath, one of my favorite singers and writers. This is what I learned.
Even though my innocence was robbed from me as a child, I was again made, not only innocent, but righteous through the finished work of Jesus on the Cross. I love these revelations. Just wanted to share with you. Hope someone reads this that receives peace from it.
