I am 55 years old and almost NEVER get any exercise, unless you count walking through the house or doing laundry or clicking the t.v. remote. ~SIGH~
Yesterday my youngest Granddaughter and I had to walk to my oldest Granddaughter's Middle School and walk her home. I don't know how far it was, but I was practically in tears by the time we were about a third of the way there. I had no idea how out of shape I was/am. It was just awful. Today I'm so sore I can't hardly move. I feel like I'm 100 years old. But I'm STILL Praising the Lord!!!
K... 'nuff about that!
On a lighter note, I'm doing a GIVEAWAY!!!... or maybe I should say WE are doing a Giveaway. Randy (DH) made a darling, prim Rabbit doll and we've decided to give it away on my blog. She is perfect for Easter, but could be displayed through Spring & Summer...or even all year if you choose. Her name is Abbie. She has an Easter Basket full of colorful eggs, but she's just holding it. You could take it out of her little Bunny hand if you wish. Here's a couple of photos.
All you have to do to enter the Giveaway is post a comment. I think it would be a HOOT if any of you that are as out of shape as I am told me so in your comment. Then I wouldn't feel so bad... hehee. I will draw a name out of the hat (literally.. Randy's hat!) on Friday, April 10th, and will post the winner's name that day, so please get your comments posted BEFORE then, like the last day will be Thursday, the 9th. I know that's not much time, but going fast like this will shorten the suspense time!
I'm sorry, but I must confine this giveaway to the U.S. only. Just cannot afford the postage for international friends.
Blessings to all of you from God!

oh, Penny, she is so cute..please sign me up and yes, I am really out of shape too....Alan and I took a walk a couple of weeks ago, just a few blocks and he walks fast...I have to almost jog to keep up with him....I was sore for a week afterwards!..I used to walk alot until about 6 years ago when I was power walking and fell badly..broke a bone in my hand, cut above my eye, etc. haven't walked consistently since....yes, it was nasty but no reason to quit....
Penny,
What an awesome and generous giveaway. Please enter me, he's just prim perfect. I feel bad for you that you are so sore today, take it easy.

Darling bunny for Easter - and what a generous giveaway! Your hubby must be really talented too! Hope your muscles are getting better -it's no fun being so sore!
What an adorable bunny! Thanks for hosting a giveaway. I am woefully out of shape too and it shows :( Summer is coming and I need to kick myself into dieting and exercising once again. Take it easy and don't be so hard on yourself!
OO I feel your pain. I didnt realize how out of shape I was until I had my youngest. Shes 2 now the difference between her and my last kid is 6 years. Well we were sledding last week and I got up the hill about 3 times before I needed to take a break. And it took me forever to get up the hill, my other kids were just running past me calling me a slow poke. LOL
Penny she came out Great... YOu hunny does wonderful work...Please do sign me up for the drawing I would love to get her...:)
OK for the out of shape thing. HA I'm the queen of it. I'm like you, laundry, tv and the occasional chase after my nephew is my routine. This Spring after Easter, I'm gonna step it up and do more...
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway, your so sweet for doing it..
Kaela
What a Wonderful giveaway Penny!!
She is just so sweet......please enter my name into the drawing!
Hubby did a Beautiful job on her!!!
Sorry you're so sore and you're not alone! I have had 4 major back surgeries, the last being June 07 and I am now fused from L1-S1......to my sacrum! It's hard some days to get out and do my walking or do my exercises and hit the treadmill, but I have an 8 yr. old to keep up with and that keeps me going + the fact that I don't want to end up back in bed cause I haven't kept up with what the Dr. wants me to do.......keep moving!
Some days I just don't wanna! LOL
Keeping you in my prayers!
Hugs and Blessings,
Wendy

Penny, just saying Im out of shape is exasting in its self:) Im trying tho to speed things up. My daughters name is Abbea so Im crossing my fingers and toes so here goes... Happy Day!Blessings,Sherri
I hear you, I feel the same way lately.
I am active during the summer, but have done nothing but crafts all winter. I need to get out and start taking walks to get going again and build up my endurance.
The bunny is adorable.
Debbie
Penny, I just LOVE that rabbit! Everything you guys create is so wonderful, so please enter my name into the hat!!!!!
And believe me, I was aching for you as you told about your walk! I'm probably the most out of shape as I haven't done a thing in almost a year now. Pushing the vacuum is even a killer for me! Buster would be thrilled if I started doing a little walking. Mind you, I said the word, "LITTLE!"
Cora
The bunny is adorable! PLEASE enter me to win this wonderful giveaway.
Penny,
First, thanks for visiting my blog and snagging the "Buy Handmade" banner. I'm glad you like it!
And yes, please enter me in your giveaway! Such a cute bunny ~ great job DH!
Out of shape? I know exactly how you feel. We've been doing yard work for the past couple weeks and that works muscles you didn't even know you had! A couple of Aleve at bedtime helps. LOL!
Hugs,
Mary

Love your Blog! Feel right at home here, wait, I must go get a cup of tea and visit for awhile, ok how about all day... I also am a Christian and love the LORD with all my heart and and so glad I can say that right out loud! Ok you asked for it, so here it is, my out of shape story. I decided to get in shape, it's been a long winter here in Maine,(we still have some snow). So I went to play volleyball last Wednesday and all was going well but to make a long story shorter by far. I have been on crutches ever since and that really cramps my style. Don't want to wear out my welcome so must say love the pattern and hobble home. Thank You for lisening to me complain, eveyone else is really tired of hearing me...

Oh my, I would love to win your bunny, Penny. Would you like me to post about her on my blog? I would be happy to if you'd like but I know some folks prefer not. Just let me know.
And about being out of shape. Penny, I'm 43 and decided to volunteer walking horses at therapy program for children. It took only ONE day for me to designated as official cookie lady because my legs just gave out. I was so embarrassed. Oh well, cookies are good too I guess.
Hang in there sweetie!
Blessings,
Lea

Hi Penny....just found your wonderful site through another blog and am so glad I did! Your DH is extremely talented...you lucky girl! Please include me for your drawing. She would be so cute to display all year! BTW, I know you are sore but that was good exercise for you. Maybe you could not go quite so far next time but do it more often. We want you around for a long time and so do those grandkids. :)

As far as being out of shape, I barely made it around the block the other day, and that is a walk I have been doing for the last 10 yrs, so I have gotten really out of shape!
Penny,
So sorry to hear the you are so sore. I have done that before where I over do it and then can hard walk the next day.
Thanks for coming to visit me at my blog and entering my giveaway.
The bunny rabbit that your DH made is wonderful and so prim perfect!! And I would love to enter your giveaway.
Cindy
Oh How I would love to win your bunny....soooo cute! Beth
Sure I want to win a bunny. And this one is soooo cute. I can just see it on my mantle with my other bunnies, and spring pretties.
Sorry you're sore from walking. I can relate as I've been doing Wii Fitness with my husband every night. Whew~ fun but strenuous.
I came across your site today and love all your creations and your dh too. Lot's of talent. I would love to win the bunny too. :)
Happy Easter All
Angelique
Is it possible to be in love with a bunny? She is adorable :) I am glad that you are still smiling and praising the Lord even though you aren't feeling the greatest. I hate to have that all-over sore feeling! Thanks again for the give-away!
OH Penny I know all about being out of shape, I am only 36 and one day of cleaning house about put me in an early grave.. I love the Bunny and my daughters name is Abbie.. SO SHE WOULD BE SOOOO PERFECT, and we would give her a loving home.. My mommy is having surgery tomorrow so everyone pray for her!! Thanks and I will see you when I pick Abbie up!! ;>)
Penny, what a precious bunny. I would dearly love to own her. Please sign me up. I hear you girl. I recently had to help with some babysitting and after carrying around some 25lb+ plus sweeties it took me several days to walk without cringing. It was worth it. It is just hard to realize we can't do what we use to. Take it slow and easy. Blessings. Judy
OMG this is awesome...Love, love, love it...I am in Oz but if I won it I could get it sent to a friend in the US and she would send it on to me....ohhh I would love to win it...hugs Khris in Oz
