So... Remember that time

I said I should be named Mother of the Year? If you don't remember, go here. Well...so far since then, my little Monkey has:

colored on the carpet with black Sharpie,

taken and RUN off with my still wet mod podged eggs, while I was letting them dry, (she stole my paintbrush too!)

poured shampoo over her head 5 minutes before we had to leave to go set up a booth for a craft fair,

and painted the bathroom with 1/4 bottle of my brand new conditioner. She used the stolen mod podge paintbrush for that one.

Where or where is my award?

Speaking of...I have been given a couple of awards, and I am so, so flattered. I promise to get those passed along very soon. But also, I swear I saw a comment from someone who said they had tagged me - I can't find the comment now and I don't remember who it was! If it was you please, please let me know - because I would hate you to think I was just ignoring you - I love everyone who reads, and takes the time to leave me a comment - it really makes my day!

I love what she did. I know I will have some of those things going on. Right now I have book flying off of the shelf. I also smell something pretty yucy. Got to run.

when she puts "her" baby in your arms and says "mom meet your grandbabie" it makes every thing they ever do so worth it!! that is all the reward you will ever need.

I love your blog...I'm glad you came and entered my Spring Give-away!

my son who is now 10...took a sharpie when he was 3 and "decorated" the center of every lower wood cabinet in our kitchen ...I didn't know what I should grab first,the camera or the scrub-brush...luckily the cabinets were laminated with some type of gloss varnish...it wiped right off....=)

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t...

Mod Podge to the Rescue

Have you noticed that eggs and nests seem to be a common theme in home decor - especially with people making some decor changes for spring? I've seen some pretty cute stuff! For example - what do you think of these? If you like this look, you can get it at Williams-Sanoma. You'll pay $36 for the eggs, and $68 for 1 glass hurricane. They don't include the greenery! Sheesh! Maybe you could go online and find the whole look, already put together, like this: You'll pay $39 for that teeny one, and if you'd like a larger one - you'll shell out $89! Good thing I'm the Queen of Mod Podge! Remember this beauty that I found at the DI for $5? Well, I gathered up my trusty mod podge, the left over scrap book paper from this project, some plastic eggs that I got for 79 cents at Walmart, and a bag of moss that was around $2, also from Walmart. I mod podged the eggs closed so they wouldn't pop open while I was working with them, then I cut the scrapbook paper into ...
