Hi Everyone, I truly hope you all enjoyed your Holiday! I am looking forward to the New Year for SO many reasons. I have made a few resolutions for myself/life this year. 1 is GET TO THE GYM...no more being a lazy bones and 2 Learn to work from home and still have a life filled with fun and laughter...it is a lot harder than you think! I am always at work WITH a toddler..ugh What are your resolutions?
So was Santa good to you??? He was VERY good to me...Diamond Heart Necklace and a Cropping Station for Scrap booking...sweet! My DH also took us all out on Christmas Eve to a fancy restaurant called The Ferndale Inn and it was relaxing, delicious and I didn't have to make it! I did drink a bit but it's all good! ha ha
This was the 1st year that I had all of my wrapping finished before Christmas Eve...ahhh so nice. I am looking forward to hitting all of the sales at the mall tomorrow. They have great prices this year.
I am working on some new Baby Head Bands for Little Pags Boutique and I will have them loaded by January 2nd on my Etsy Shop and Log Cabin Crafters Shop.
I also have my son Sean and his family coming home from Ft. Bragg, NC to see us all with the new addition. I cannot wait to get my hands on my Granddaughter! We have used Skype a few times but it just isn't the same without the soft kisses and baby smell...I will post again soon and in the mean time have a safe and Happy New Year to All!!!
Hugs, Jen

Love Family Gatherings!
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
I decided at the last minute to defrost my 20lb. Turkey and host a family party. We missed the Thanksgiving Family dinner and went to a friends instead this year, so I was really missing family. In all there was about 16 of us in my little country home but we had lots of fun. I made jello shots for the 1st time..he he and boy were they good. The others had a good game of Boggle going on, while I was trying to get skype on my computer to include my favorite Soldier and his family. It filled me with so much joy to be able to see my son Sean and his family on the computer. I cannot wait until he comes home in January...I have not hugged my oldest son in almost 2 years. I miss him deeply!
The morning after the party was a little tough. I stayed up unusually late and might have had a few drinks too many for me. After a while I realized that the headache I was having was on top of my head and the pain was raidiating down my face and I had a tingling on the whole side of my face for the entire day. I then woke up with it again the next day but the numbness was not as bad. Today I still have a headache....yuk!
I have only a few more things to shop for but just haven't been up to doing much of anything. Not sure if it has anything to do with the 6 injections I have been taking in my foot for the Neuroma but I think I am done with those. It isn't working and it hurts to walk so surgery is the next step. Blah blah blah...don't want to sound like I am whining!
I am very excited for Christmas, especially when I look at my 3y/o daughter and see the excitement in her face when we talk about Santa coming. I love driving around in the car with her and listening to her ohhh and ahh at the different lights and decorations on people's houses.
I have no new creations to post as I have decided to relax until the New Year and then I will have lots of new things for you!
Thanks for Reading,

Trying to think positive
Hello Everyone,
My day started out terrible. I woke up this am and my computer screen was black and in desperation I tried everything I knew to fix it but could not. I called a the first person I could think of to help fix the problem. He won't have a chance to look at it until Monday but I did not have anything backed up. I lost all of my family photo's and years of graphics for my business and scrapbooking...I am trying to stay positive that he may be able to save everything but I shed a lot of tears first! I learned a tough lesson today...just yesterday I was telling my husband that I need some time on the computer to back things up because if we lost it we would be devastated...should have done it at that very moment...
Keep your fingers crossed for me and I will keep you posted.
As always Thanks for Reading!

So Tired Lately!
Hello all of my faithful followers and any other blog skimmers who have taken the time to read this!!
I have been so tired lately! I did burn the midnight oil for a few weeks but jeez, I just can't seem to catch up again. I think it could be the thought of knowing that I have no more craft shows coming up too. My though process now is to get the house clean for the Holidays and relax with family and friends, but it seems that my body has other plans. My little Princess has not been feeling well either with a stomach virus of sorts.
