Gotta Love Gettin Older!!!

Okay... so I ran out of my favorite lipstick and when I went to read the label on the bottom I almost died...I couldn't read it. It was all blurry...Wow! I have always had 20/20 vision, I never thought that I would need glasses but...TaDa! I went for an eye check-up and I needed reading glasses.. Nothing major only +125 but I still can't get used to it and everytime someone walks in the room I whip them off quick cause I'm afraid they'll laugh...Time to put on my big girl panties and realize it's inevitable, it happens to all of us eventually... This is another new Clippie Holder that will be added to my website's soon...Ella Elephant Clippie Keeper. She is available for $5.50 and can be found here: http://www.littlepagsboutique.etsy.com/ or http://www.logcabincrafters.com/ So if you are local I will be attending a Craft Show this coming weekend 5/23 and 5/24 form 11:00-5:00pm at Penn's Purchase in Peddlers Village, Pa Come and check out some really great vendors and shops and say hello.

Have a Great Week Everyone!

Never a dull moment in my life.....

Ha Ha had to add this picture of Ava on her 1st ever mall ride. She was terrified! Pour kid...No I didn't make her stay on it more than 2 seconds for this picture. I wouldn't want to scar her for life.

I have always been a big Eyore fan because I can relate to that big black cloud that follow's him around raining on him all of the time.
I am just shocked at the amount of mean, money hungry, selfish people there are in the world. Doesn't anyone believe in God anymore and believe in the Golden Rule and just plain kindness toward each other? Once again I have been a victum of a creep looking for money from my family that he does not deserve. How do these kinds of people sleep at night.
We are moving AGAIN....Hechtic but totally worth it for the space. BUT before we found this place we were looking at another place and thought we liked it after being rushed through it, then went to meet with owner to sign the lease and again were rushed and he sent his partner who was a double talker, liar and all around swindler. We reluctantly signed the lease and gave him a ck, he never gave us the lease.
The next day we walked around it outside and saw a ton of safety issues and called him and told him that we no longer wanted to rent it and why. He waited 2 days and called us threatening to take us to court and then demanded money from us so that he will just go away. This is shocking, I am not made of money and the only money we have to spare right now is to take our family to SC to see my son graduate from the Army. It just makes me sick...Thank goodness we took pictures of the property to prove the hazzards to our 2 y/o if we lived there because they were made aware of them twice in week and did nothing to fix it.
On a better note: I have my 1st show at Penn's Purchase in Peddlers Village coming up on May 23rd...Yah...Can't wait. I love meeting new people and seeing how much they enjoy my products. I have been creating tons of new clippies and necklaces etc.. I have been busy writing letters to Sean and creating handmade cards for him. Here is one of the cards I made for him this morning:

I am so excited to see him graduate and I can only imagine how handsome he must look in his uniform. I buy almost all of my graphics from Digiscrapkits. Her graphics are awesome!!! No Commercial license needed for her graphics ever!!!!! Well worth it. Anyway I am also working on some Military goodies, like necklaces and plaques. You should see them in my shop within a month or two depending on how well the move goes....LOL

If you have any thing in the Military Line that you would like to suggest let me know by leaving me a comment. This is new for me so I would appreciate the suggestions. It is also a great way for me to connect to other Military Moms, Wives etc...

Thanks for looking & listening!!!!

Fun With Felt!







Check Out These Cuties! I have been playing with Felt Again and came up with these. I have tons of designs all over my counter top and now I have to sew them together. If you are interested in them you can find them in my shops: http://www.logcabincrafters.com/ or http://www.littlepagsboutique.etsy.com/

If you are local and would like to see some of my work in person, I will be presenting my crafts at Penn's Purchase Outlets in Peddlers Village, PA on May 23rd from 11:00am to 5:00pm. It is a beautiful area with upscale shoppes and dining. Hope to see you there.


Family News: Sean is now in Basic Training. He is sending lots of positive letters home, which makes my heart sing.... Braeden is looking forward to graduation in June, Ryan is looking forward to Summer and being able to sleep in and of course Ava is babbling up a storm and loves to walk around the house in Mommy's high heels! That's my girl!LOL


Till next time.....Jen

Scrap-a-holic??

Okay! I am ready to admit it, I am a Scrap-a-holic...Who knew? I mean how could I have known it would happen to me?LOL
Thanks to an old H.S. friend who recently took me Scrapbooking with her and I saw and touched all of these neat Scrapping toys...I had to have it! Like I already have every tool possible for every imaginable craft! I thought my DH was gonna die! It bit me and so I of course went to Ebay and bought myself the Cricut Machine and then I had to have the Cuttlebug....Does it ever end? I am having so much fun....So as usual to reason the purchase to my DH I have to sell some of my creations. I will be listing flower packets for scrapbooking in my Etsy shop by the end of this week.
So I really need to know if anyone uses their Cutterbug to cut out fabrics or wool felt shapes? This was my purpose for buying it and I have not been successful at it so far.
On the other business front: I have some new necklaces that I will be listing on Log Cabin Crafters Eshop this week. Check em out:
I have been seeing a huge jump in Etsy sales lately. I sincerely hope it is because people are buying more, not because others have closed their shops.
I am going to be busy packing to move AGAIN! That is move #3 in 3 years. Atlease I am almost totally clutter free now!LOL
Well until tomorrow.. Jen
