Hot Enough for Ya?

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I have been absent for a bit but you know how life gets in the way! I went on a wonderful and very relaxing vacation to Ocean City, MD. It was hot there and now it is blazing here in PA too. I am looking forward to some cooler temps, especially now that my sweet 4 y/o has learned how to miniature golf. Looks like we will be doing lots of that now. Ahh vacation...as soon as I got back everything went crazy again. I got the call from my oldest son that he is deploying for Afghanistan on Oct. 19th. I don't really think I need to write how I am feeling about that! My other son had a motorcycle accident 2 days ago...he is okay...don't think I really need to write how I feel about that Motorcycle either! My daughter got sick AGAIN..oui and their have been numerous robberies in my neighborhood in the last week.
I am opening my Little Pags Boutique store, hopefully by next Monday so please check back for details. I would love to hear your comments on the look, layout etc..I am also opening Log Cabin Crafters again but that will be at a later date.
Thanks for reading and please check back as I am getting back into the working swing of things.
As always thanks for reading!

Easter Decorations and Party Planning

Hi All,

I have been MIA from my blog. I posted about a Birthday Party for my Brother some time ago and it got pushed back to April 16th. I am so busy with party details these days. I also decided to return the Princess to daycare...Yay! NOT...she started on Monday then went on Tuesday and by Thursday she was running a 101 temp. with a stuffy/runny nose. I was up with her for 3 nights straight. I took her to the Pediatrician on Monday morning and she has double ear infections. I really hate this for her and myself. She begs me to take her to daycare because she misses her friends and I want to take her because I NEED a break but I can't stand how sick she gets everytime. Hind site, I really wish I had another baby right after her. She is basically an only child. On a better note, being older (3 1/2) she is taking the antibiotics like a trooper. No tantrums!
     I created an Easter Tree. It is decorated with all of my own handmade ornaments...except for the dollar store eggs. Oops need to clarify..The grungy Bunny was my own original design the others were blog pattern freebies. I just got started so there aren't a lot so far. Here is a picture

I am also working hard on some new hair clippies. I have had some wonderful offers to place my Hair Clips into some high profile places...hopefully my business will pick up.

I have been working on some new Headbands also. I have decided to get back into quilting. I will be selling some quilted Beach Blankets from my selling blog as soon as they are finished. Be sure to check it out at Log Cabin Crafters I must admit that I am sort of burned out of Craft Shows and have not signed up for any thus far. I have a lot going on in my personal life right now. My husband has to have surgery on his finger in a few weeks..I am sure that is not going to be any fun. Then my #1 Army Soldier (Specialist Kindness) is talking deployment. I must admit that it scares me to dealth...he is 25 years old and still my little guy in my heart. Here is a more recent picture of my son. 

Okay enough..I have bent your ear for too long. As always, Thanks for reading!

Enough All Ready!!!!

Hello Everyone!

I have been going through the most awful ordeal ever. I was not feeling well on Friday & Saturday nights..tummy pains. On Sunday January 30th I went to the ER and almost passed out waiting. They took me back and started the ususal poking and proding...I had a CAT Scan that showed my entire bowel was inflamed and infected, they also saw some sort of mass....WHAT??? Mass? OM Gosh..I was really scared but who knew that it was only going to get worse...Jan 31st was our 7 year Anniversary and we both forgot with all of this excitement going on. The next day was more meds and IV's and my veins were not helping...tons of sticks then the pain subsided and I really was starting to feel some what better (no tummy pain anymore). They decided to send me down for another CAT Scan to see how things looked now after several days of antibiotics. Well let me tell you my body did not like the 3 giant cups of orange tasting die...I have never suffered diarrhea like that..sorry for the TMI!!! Anyway, that night I was cleaning myself up and had lots of good news and feeling better about things. I was right in the middle of saying my prayers at around 12am and BANG my heart goes crazy..beating I believe it was about 190 bpm...I thought I was having a heart attack..I was already on the Telemetry floor but all alone and scared! I called my husband and with what breath I could muster I told him incase I don't make it through this I love you and please tell all of the kids I love them...It seemed to go on for 5-10 min. I am not really sure...It was the scarest thing I have ever experienced in my life..I really thought it was over. Anyway after several more tests they decided it was Acute Colitis and sent me home on Thursday evening. I am still weak, tired..and not 100% sure that there isn't something else lingering yet but at least I am home and feeling somewhat better. I am nervous to do the next two tests on the 22nd but want to know what is going on so I can relax or tackle it!
So glad to be alive!!!! Not working right now. I will update soon,
Thanks for reading...{{HUGS}} Jen
