♥ I love my afternoon cup of coffee. I look forward to it. I wish I had more time to enjoy it. Anyone have magic dust that will get both my kids down for a nap at the same time? ANYONE?!

♥  Lots of new spoons coming to the shop! Speaking of new spoons, I'm having a Facebook Contest & the winning idea gets a spoon with their saying FREE plus it will be featured in the shop! FUN!

♥ Ever heard of pumpkins on a stick? Me either until my Dad showed me these little guys! CUTE!

♥ There are far to little date nights going on around here. We need to fix that!

♥ My baby is learning to read...crazy!

♥ Speaking of reading, I am currently reading Grow Your Handmade Business & Handmade to Sell! Loving it so far!

♥ I don't know why my pics turn out so fuzzy with the iPad...any tips? You know who has AMAZING pics? @katieisadaisy + @whippycake. You should check them out on instagram!

InstaFriday & Poison Control

1.13.2012


My Sweet Baby Lucy, I can't believe she will be 1 this month...let's all say it together "where does the time go"

I got new supplies this week!! SO FUN, it's like Christmas when I open up stuff like this!  I decided to add gold to the shop!! Here is a sneak peek at one of my NEW DESIGNS! LOVE!

Rain on my kitchen window in January...today school is cancelled and it is SNOWING. That's Ohio.

I actually got dressed in something other than sweats that have not been washed for 3 days so I decided to document it.

THE BEST candles EVER...my best friend got me one for Christmas & I will not go back to boring old candles ever again.  These smell AMAZING & CRACKLE like a real fire while they burn! SO comforting!  We had a fireplace growing up, and so did both my grandparents & the sound reminds me of home, and my family.
 Cinnamon rolls...'nuff said.
 The Hubs and I are FINALLY getting a date night (actually date afternoon...but it does not sound as good as date night) Saturday & I CAN NOT WAIT. It is so overdue!
 I shared some pictures from my childhood for the photo challenge this week! LOOK at that split people.
I squealed out load when I saw this $9 desk at the thrift store!!! I had one when I was growing up sort of like this....but my dad threw it out. *sigh* But this makes up for it!!

You should go read Jeanette's post over at Life Rearranged, I was laughing and wincing for her all at once! We have all been there right?! Maybe not that exact same situation, but one like it! I myself have had to call poison control 3 times...I am pretty sure I am flagged in the system even though they say it is "anonymous."

Let's see, there was the time my son ate chunks out of my deodorant...I mean really?! That CAN NOT taste good enough to continue taking big bites.  Or the time that same son ate over half a bottle of a vitamin C/airborne but not airborne type tablets.  REALLY?! NOT a childproof bottle..he found it in my purse...they lady on poison control said he would probably just throw up and at that exact moment he threw up...all over the steps.

Oh let's not forget the time my 10 month old COULD HAVE (but ended up did not) eat little green mouse poison pellets that this vengeful rodent kept bringing INTO OUR HOUSE from outside. Never mind the fact that I told my husband mouse poison is NOT a good idea with little kids.  Never mind he did not listen and said he was putting it out side & they would not have access to it. Never mind that I was right and he was wrong. 

 Seriously, this mouse has it out for me...we found pellets in our laundry basket, at the bottom of folded clothes, we found pellets under our Christmas tree, my husband found 4 pellets in his SHOE, we found pellets in our bedroom, in the toy room, in my studio & in the living room.  AND we STILL have not caught the stinkin mouse.

Still don't believe he has it in for me? Well yesterday I went down to my studio & grabbed my metal stamps and in the holes where my stamps go I see 3 little mouse turds.  REALLY! He crawled up onto my 4 foot table (how do they do that) and pooped in my stamp holder.

Tell me he does not have it in for me.
I guess that's what we get for trying to poison him.

I wish...

1.12.2012


My hair is up in a messy bun 95% of the time, maybe more.  Though I do like it most times, I wish I had a personal stylist that came (for free) every morning and fixed my hair & got me dressed into something besides a tank and sweats.

This might seem like a silly wish, but being a stay at home mom makes me unmotivated to get ready...

I wish I was better at time management.
I wish there was more time for date night.
I wish Lucy would sleep through the night.
I wish I wasn't so impatient.
I wish I had more time to read.
I wish that I liked to do housework...cuz I hate it.
I wish I could shield my kids from hurt.
I wish forever 21 was my personal closet.
I wish I could spend more time with my best friend.
I wish my mom were still here.


Just for fun I decided to ask these two what they wish for...
Brooklyn wishes she lived in a castle with her pet unicorn.
Lofton wishes he lived in Ian's van.

They seriously make me laugh.
Just so you know, Ian is his uncle and apparently their van is way better than our house!

What do you wish for?

Join Me for January's Photo A Day Challenge?

1.02.2012


I am now obsessed with Instagram...and while browsing last night I saw this Photo Challenge from Fat Mum Slim on the Popular Page.  


I think it looks really fun, and I have always wanted to do a photo challenge, so why not now? 


I am going to take these pictures daily, and then at the end of the month post them all in some sort of collage format on the blog!  And I thought it would be even MORE FUN to do a linky party so I can see all of your photos as well!  


So, if you want to join me, start taking your photos using this as a guide, and at the end of the month I will post mine along with the link party for you to join! What a fun way for us all to share the 1st month of the new year in photos! 


Do you plan on joining me? Leave me a comment & let me know!
