Sleepy Saturday

Howdy All,
I hope you all had a chance to sleep in. I woke up early with the sound of the whipping wind outside! Then of course I HAD to look out the window and see a storage container that my son left outside, just waiting for the next big gust to push in into the street...ugh...so out I ran in my silly pj's to get it! Then..it turned into one of those days..I snuck a Strawberry Toaster Strudel, I say snuck because I don't think it is on the list of things that I am allowed to eat on my pre-op diet...and when I went to open that sweet icing packet it tore in half and plopped all over the plate..oh well at least it didn't hit the floor!
So how was your Valentine's Day? I spent the entire day creating stuff with my 3 y/o. We baked a Lemon Cake for Daddy and when we tried to get it out of the Bundt pan it broke in half..she was so upset and I told her "It's okay, we will ice it and no one will even know". Yeah right ha ha it was pretty bad! Then we made a banner that we found on a blog that I follow called A Few Of My Favorite Things..you can find it here: http://mybabyfaves.blogspot.com/. This was our 1st ever Banner, but it came out okay
Then we decided to make a Button Bracelet. I am going to add a clasp to it but didn't get around to it yet!
Then I decided to go on Etsy and just look around at kids stuff. I found the most adorable Photo Frame for my Little Rock Star. It is made by Our Little Ones Boutique
I contacted her and asked about doing a custom order for me in Hot Pink, Black and White. Sandra is awesome to work with. We decided to do a trade...I LOVE trading it is so much fun. So here is what I made and already shipped to her. She has two little girls that fell in love with these from my shop!
When I receive my Picture Frame I will post a picture.
On the home front, I have completed almost all of my medical tests and came through with flying colors. Actually better than I had hoped. So I am just waiting for the big one on Tuesday and that decides my fate! Say a little prayer for me please. We had some excitement last night as we ventured down into our basement to find it completely covered in water...:( At least I had most of my things in storage containers :)
The Princess and I went to dance class for the 1st time last Wed. and it was horrible. She wouldn't even stand up or get involved. Kids are so funny. I was shocked, she was shy??!! My daughter? She loves to dance but instead just cried. I think it was just because of all things that have been going on at home with Daddy's injury and then my hospital stay and maybe a little separation anxiety! It was so bad that I signed her up!!! Yup I did. She is going back and gonna love it...ha ha  She pinky swore!!! That is BIG here.
Well Thanks for Ready and if you get a minute head on over to my Little Pags Boutique Shop on Etsy because I have restocked some things.
Oh and P.S. I just entered the most Awesome Blog Design Giveaway and you can too..just go to April Showers Blog Design and you can enter too..She has a great personality, fun, funny and great blog writing style. Wish me luck!
Have a Great Weekend!!!

In Need of a Good Soup Recipe?

I found this recipe in a magazine and ripped it out. I pulled out the pile of recipes that I have been saving and started trying them and WOW...this is one soup that my entire family LOVES..which is rare!
It only takes a few minutes to create and it makes a ton of soup that you can freeze for another day. It is called Hamburger Vegetable Soup:

1 pound Ground BIeef
1 medium Onion, chopped
1/2 large Green pepper, diced
4 Garlic cloves, minced
8 cups Beef Broth
2 cans (14 1/2 oz each) Italian Stewed Tomatoes
1 can Green beans
1 can (8 oz) Tomato sauce
1 cup Ditalini pasta
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. dried Oregano
1 tsp. dried Basil
1/2 t. Pepper

In a Dutch oven or Frying Pan, cook the beef, onion, green pepper and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. I put this and the remaining ingredients in a crock pot and place it on low until we are ready to eat. If you want to eat it right away you can mix all ingredients in a soup pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until pasta is tender.
Give this a try, you won't be sorry that you did.

Friday night was the 1st time my husband and I got out alone in a year. We went to the Local 11 Ironworkers Dinner Dance...What a beautiful place and the food was to die for. It was funny, but I realized that we didn't say one word on the hour drive there. I think we were both enjoying the silence for a change. Unfortunately, the Malibu Bay Breezes went down so smooth that the next morning was painful!LOL

My Princess got a new toy. If she is going to drive Quarter Midgets in a few years we figure she better get started now!

I had some time this weekend to create this Scrabble Tile Pendant. It will be loaded onto http://www.logcabincrafters.com/ by tomorrow evening if you are interested in purchasing one!

As always Thanks for Reading,

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Isn't that soooo true?! Well, and the Happily Ever After.

I want to have fun but I had to get some work done first so...tada! More scrabble tile necklaces:

I am also running an early Back to School Special in my Etsy Shop. It is a BOGO 1/2 Off Sale...This sale will run until Sept. 1st

Okay, Now the Fun Part....I bought Ava a baby pool and Wow best $12.99 I ever spent. She loves it and doesn't want to get out, which means no running away down the street or hanging out at the edge of our pond! Peace for Mom.

And Lastly...The Happily Ever After Part: Daddy and I got a babysitter for the 1st time and went to the Pocono 500 Race...It was Awesome!

Thanks for reading :O}

Yikes my first real post!!!

Wow, I have always wanted to have a blog and just decided to go for it. So here it is....

I have been crafting like crazy for the last few days. I have several projects going on at the same time. My poor husband has been chasing our daughter around the house all weekend while I work. She is 17 months old and thinks she is a super hero and can climb anything and eat whatever fits in her mouth. To him I must bow.....

I entered the Elf Exchange to donate to Shiners Children's Hospital and it has been a blast. I have added a picture of my completed Elf. I am jealous, I wish I was receiving this gift! lol I can't wait to see what my gift will be! I also can't wait to see if the nice lady that I made it for likes it....

I am also working on the EtsyKids 12 Days of Christmas. You can find it on Etsykids.com and go to blog, there you can read all about it. I will be donating a credit card wallet from my LogCabinCrafters.etsy.com shop. I am also collecting entries for this event on specific dates. This is one you definitely don't want to miss out on. Great prizes and it is fun figuring out the clues to the images. While you are there check out the many talented other EtsyKids Shops.

Lastly, I am creating tons of things under $10.00 for a Christmas Santa Shop at my kids old Elementary school (West Rockhill Elementary) this Friday night, if you are in the area check it out from 6:30pm - 8:30pm.

Until next time!
