It's a Girl!!!!  We have the newest addition to our family, my niece Abigail Paige.  She arrived without difficulty, which is saying a lot if you know the history.  We are all so happy!  I did run out and buy her a bunch of hair bows.  Found a great local bow maker and can personally vouch for her products Madi Mo's Bows.  They are precious and unique.

I like to make generic, non-gender specific birthday cards whenever I have card credits.  This way when one of my kids (or me) has a birthday party to go to, I don't have to run out last minute to get a card.

Merry Christmas

Writing this a little late but Merry Christmas all!  It's been a zoo around here, hence the lateness.  With divorced parents does the number of Christmas' you celebrate have to double?  It our case, yes!  The kids have once again gotten more crap than they can use, and yes a lot of it is crap.  I was wondering why the kids didn't seem to be as excited as I use to be about Christmas.....then I remembered they're spoiled.  I don't mean a bratty, gimme, not doing what we're told kinda way.  I have really good, helpful (as much as she can be at 2yrs) children.  I mean more in the way of they already have EVERYTHING they could ever possibly need and most of the things they want.  My house is littered with objects that they use sporadically and now we have more.  I'm tempted to box up some of the junkier toys they got and take them straight to donation without passing go (opening them.  But somehow that seems wrong as they were gifts, from loving people, with good intentions.  I just don't know how much more crap around here I can take, I mean crap that isn't mine, because my crap it just fine where it's at....don't touch it or I'll break your arm!




Anyway......   Merry Christmas!!!!

The Hosties

Another cool Facebook application that I just discovered is The Hosties.  I've only had one party but they sent really cool Bic Markers to hand out to all my guests.  If you are on Facebook, where I end a lot of my time, I suggest you add this application.  They are currenly having a JUICY JUICE party.  This one will be great for the kids!

This is the book I made to remember but nephew, Holden Edward.  He would have been one this november and this has been a really tough time for my family.  I would wish that everyone would keep them in their prayers.  I tried to keep this book simple and elegent.  I was thinking of doing it all in black and white but like the reality of color.

Hair Bows

My newest obsession is HAIR BOWS!! I have been attempting to make them for my daughter, who's 2 years old. She's so darn cute and what's cuter than a cutie with a bow in her hair. After buying several off ebay and etsy I decide to try my hand at making some of the simpler types. I want to let anyone who's interesed know a great site to get tips hair hardware blogspot she gives the best instruction I've found so far. She also has a site where she sells the parts for making hair bows. I've become a follower, and suggest you do to if you're interested
