Who? What? Where?

Ever have one of those days when you feel like you just can't keep it all straight in your head?! That is me these days! I have such a crazy life but I really wouldn't want it any other way...I think that is what is keeping me so young looking!!!LOL
My son (Private Kindess, I love it...sounds kinda funny doesn't it) just left for the Army on the 30th of March....I was not taking it very well at first but after hearing from him on the phone a few times I feel much better about it. He says it is hard but he likes it! Good for him. I couldn't be more proud. Pour little Ava runs around the house looking for him when I mention his name. It is so cute. I am hoping to teach her his name before we go to his graduation in Ft. Jackson.


Here is a new cutie for my shop:

She is Tess the Turtle. She is a Hair Clippie Holder. You can find her at www.logcabincrafters.com. I will also be offering supplies in my shop, such as: fabric, die cut flowers etc... I have got lots of new ideas brewing!

Thanks for reading,

Sleepy Sunday!

Ahhhhh...Sunday Afternoon!
Baby and Daddy are napping, all of the other kids are out for the day and I am posting. I love my quiet time on the computer or what ever I decide to do in peace!!!

I decided to finalize my taxes and get them mailed out tomorrow...Horray! Here was my other project this weekend:

Yes.... another custom order for a Dippin' Dots Scrabble Tile Necklace from my Etsy shop. It is nice to see retail picking up. I also added a new Bow PonyO to my shop, here is the pic:
Just in case someone doesn't know what a ponyO is I added the picture to the right, hopefully it is self explanatory.
I love making these types of hair bows, I just wish my daughter would wear them in her hair for more than 2 seconds. She is constantly rubbing her eyes because her hair is dangling in them but as soon as I put a clip in it she rips it right out.! Oh well I am sure she will love them when she is older, cuz she already LOVES shoes..LOL right ladies!
Thanks for reading and please check back this week because I am gonna run another giveaway soon for some Hair Clips.

What have I been up to you say? Well....




Here is a new set of clippies for spring..I loaded them onto my littlepagsboutique.etsy.com Shop and they sold within an hour! Horray!! They are on their way to Maine. Then I went ahead and loaded the Scottie. I LOVE Scottish Terriers. I was raised with one then bought 2 of my own (Mac and Alley). They had 17 Puppies that were so darn cute...Anyway long story short when we moved 2 years ago I had to give them away, we had to rent and weren't aloud to have pets :(
I miss them sooo much!
So if you are keeping track that is my second sale this month on Etsy...Let's hope retail picks up! On the other business front: Log Cabin Crafters has partnered with several other business' to run a Huge Easter Egg Hunt and the prize is gonna be Awesome. Go to http://www.logcabincrafters.com/ and read all about it on the clickable link on my home page.
Also check out our samples in the April box from Out of the Box Sampler. I sent in several different product samples and discount cards. Hop on over to Michelle's shop http://www.outoftheboxsampler.com/ and put your name on her mailing list so that you will be notified when they are up for grabs!!
On the home front things couldn't be better! The kids are loving the warm weather and so do I because they are outside most of the time...LOL I am getting lots of things done around the house and starting to look into creating some new products using Wool Felt. I have been a Scrapbooking Fool lately too...Gosh it is so much Fun.. I went scrapping with a few girlfriends from H.S. Last weekend from 5-12am What a blast!!!! I guess I will be making and selling cards soon too. What's next? I can see my husbands eyes rolling right now!
Till next time....God Bless

Lovin' Life....

What A GREAT WEEKEND~~~~~The weather here in PA was nice and warm. No sunshine but I am actually thankful for that because I was in sewing all weekend. Thank goodness for my sweet loving husband Frank. He took Ava outside and played with her all weekend so that I could catch up on my sewing projects...It was a little muddy out there so check out how he dressed Schmave (her nick name)

She loves playing outside with Daddy and I LOVE it too. I got a lot done this weekend. We managed to sneak in a couple of good naps too...

So here is a pic of what I have been working on. They are small Sensory/Security blankets. The bigger one is a custom order for a friend of mine,(Hope she likes it)!

On the other Family Front: Sean is starting to get nervous about Boot Camp...As you can see here he is researching all sorts of things on his laptop, taking it all very seriously. He has begun his own physical training and trying to quit smoking... You Go Boy!!!!He is also enjoying his time spent with his brothers and sister.
I am going to try to post at least three times this week, yeah...We'll see....
