A random blog post of stuff I've been up to.

So yesterday I went most of the day without a computer.  It. was. BRUTAL.  The cord for our laptop was toast, and I had planned on going without for a couple of days until we got paid.  Then I remembered that Cowgirl had her friend and science fair partner coming over to finish their project, and they would need a computer.  So I had to break down and buy a cord with money that I should have used for something else.  Does that ever happen to you?

Last week I made these to sell in my shop.  Then I loved them so much that I kept them for my girls:






Yep, that's why I'm raking in the dough with my Etsy shop.

Monday night our school had their second annual Family Skate Night at the Olympic Oval.  You know I heart that place.  Bookworm immediately took off with his friends and I didn't see him until the end of the night.  But I got some good shots of my girls, and Tanielle's girls.

 Venturing onto the ice.  It was Lexlee and Jibbity's first time ice skating.

It was an adventure helping Monkey stay upright!
Which is why I sat on my butt and let Cowgirl do it.

The oval has these awesome walker-type things for little ones who are just learning to stay up on their feet!


It was a great night, and good fun was had by all! Although for the rest of the night we had to hear about blisters and bruises and sore bums!  When you're little and skinny there's not much there to cushion the fall when you land on your bum on the hard, cold ice!!

What have you been up to?

p.s. I think I'll post a tutorial for my subway art using MyMemories tomorrow - make sure to come back for that!

I love those adorable headbands. EK may need one! I have $20 to spend in Mimi's etsy. Have I used it yet? NO! I'm so bad.

Me and iceskating don't get along. I have never fallen on my azz more times than I did when I tried to ice skate.

IA is naughty! She does still have that credit. :)
Anyway...the headbands are adorable and I've never been ice skating. Pretty sure I'd break something...and not just my bones...probably the rink too.
Are the girls all wearing matching hoodies??

Yea, I grew up with a skinny little butt that got hurt a lot trying to skate fancy on the pond near our house.

And how nice just sitting and watching your kids have fun. Ryder is in the midst of having to watch every second, so not much sitting right now.

Those flowers are super cute!!! There's a lady in my area who sells similar ones and Bella is in love with them!

How cool that your skating rink has that walker-type thingie for the newbies! Looks all the kids had a blast!

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

What would a party be without us BOTH?

Y'all didn't really think we were gonna party seperately did you? Not when we have so much fun TOGETHER! And it's better this way, because it means you have TWO chances to win an awesome Blogiversary giveaway! One year ago today, Tanielle and I both started blogging. For me, I thought it might be a good way to promote our hairbow busines. But I quickly learned that the true value of my blog was in the wonderful women I've met and the wonderful friends I've made - some who have even become close friends outside of Bloggerville. I've laughed, cried, been inspired, and received the best comments from some of the smartest, funniest, kindest ladies I've ever known. Thank you all for all of it! And thank you Tanielle for partying with me, and for being one of the people I've had the most fun with in my life. Ever. 10 things I love about Tanielle 1. I love that she shares a maturity level equivalent to mine (in it's near non-existence!) 2. I love that s
