Anniversary Weekend!!!!

Well this Saturday is our wedding anniversay! 5 wonderful years of non stop happiness!!!! Yeah, right, who am I kidding. We have had more troubles then most (the loss of a child, his "friend" embezzeled all the money from his company and left us holding the IRS issues, the ups and downs of raising his, mine and ours, then his leaving and not speaking to him, child support, loss of our log cabin on 10 acres and our vehicles etc..but we remain strong through it all.. He is my best friend! We will probably just stay at home like we always do and celebrate with a glass of wine and a big fat kiss!LOL

I decided on the Heart Bowl Fillers for the February Giveaway!

I will post the rules for the contest in my next post! I will run the contest the first week of February. These bowl fillers are handmade by me. The actual bowl fillers that you receive may differ from those pictured here. They may differ in sayings and colors.

I wanted to take a moment and tell you about a product I received in my Out of the Box Sampler. It was from a Company called Twist of Taste. She also has a Etsy Shop. Her Chocolate breakaways and Covered Pretzels are to die for. I emailed her to let her know that we loved it and will be back for more. Turns out she lives right near me too. Check out her products it is worth the look www.twistoftaste.etsy.com and also go to www.outoftheboxsampler.com to see what Michelle has in store for Februarys box.

I also have a few other things that I have purchased from Etsy sellers that I would like to tell you about: I got the most adorable necklases (one for me and one for Ava) from Reillybelle shop. Here is the link to the necklace http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15715107.

The other was an adorable Diaper Bag from Cutestitch's Etsy shop. Here is link to the bag I got http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20039035 her prices are great and I love the personalization of name, hair color etc...

Until next time enjoy your weekend everyone;)

Wild Weekend!!!!

Wahooo! I finally got out with an old girlfriend for the first time in about 3 years. We had such a great time catching up at a TGI Fridays. We laughed our heads off over salad and wine... Then I ran to the store for 2 more bottles of wine for me and Daddy! Our Anniversary is January 31st. Of course, I had to open 1 bottle and have another glass or two with him.


I was trying desperately to get on the computer today to post but Ava just runs right over and starts crying for me to pick her up then the fun begins...she starts grabbing everything on my desk and pressing all of the keys on the keyboard! Here is a pic of that:


I was not the only one catching up with some old friends...My oldest son Sean looked up an old friend (Krista) and she stopped over to hang out with us. We haven't seen her in about 8 years. It really makes me feel old! Here they are all grown up: I also want you guys to check out the April Showers Blog for her giveaway it looks some good stuff. I entered and you may want to too. Look to the right for her button.

So I am trying to decide what my giveaway should be for February??? Should I giveaway a necklace or heart bowl fillers? Show me some bloggie love and let me know what you would like.

Finally! Getting Back to Norm.

Wow things have been crazy around here. Unfortunately my entire family came down with that horrible virus that has been going around. I even tried dissinfecting everything after each family member got sick but it didn't work! It has taken me longer to get over it than everyone else in my family. I just starting feeling better from the virus and I got Mastitus AGAIN.... And then diagnosed with PostPartum Arthritis. It is so much fun getting older!!!! And all of this while celebrating my Birthday and then my son Braeden's Birthday.

We are very focused on getting Sean (Private Kindness) ready for his Army training! He has been vigoruosly working out..So much so that he can hardly walk the next day. He is so excited about it and I know he will go far...

On the Business front....I am currently working on Spring designs for hair clippies. I will be adding some Tissue Cozies to my Log Cabin Crafters shop soon. I have been waiting like everyone else who makes children's products for the other shoe to drop. Not sure whether I should be creating things for kids or not. I am hopeful that they will realize what they are doing regarding this law and make the proper changes to it. Though the letters that I have read from State Senators in response to some other crafters concerns has not been very positive...Almost like they are not really listening.. I will have my fingers crossed until then.

I will be doing monthly giveaways...So please check back often. And speaking of Giveaways...I want to Congratulate Michelle of Out of the Box Sampler for winning my credit card wallet. Michelle it is on it's way to you...enjoy!

My Birthday Giveaway!

Go Eagles !!!!!!!

Oh my, someone is not liking the fact that I am on the computer again. Can you tell who it is?

I am celebrating my Birthday with a Giveaway! I will be giving away a Credit Card Wallet made by me from a Lazy Girl Pattern, you have to work for it. I thought that it would be fun to hear some feedback on my Etsy Shops. So to be entered in the giveaway all you have to do is go to one of my Etsy Shops and Critique It or one of the products in my shop by leaving me a comment. Don't be afraid to tell the truth, I have broad shoulders. You can enter once a day from January 12th through January 16th and I will pick a random winner at Midnight. The winner will be notified by email so make sure I have it or a way to reach you. Please leave the comment here, incase that was not clear! Or you can just leave your name here if you are lazy!LOL

It has been brought to my attention that I did not leave a link to my shops...Oops! Here they are: http://littlepagsboutique.etsy.com/ and http://logcabincrafters.etsy.com/

Have fun & Happy Birthday to me!
