Happy Spookily Day

Happy Halloween!!!

Literacy Day~ Fancy Nancy

What fun !! Wed we spent some time going through her closet picking out stuff to wear to school for Literacy Day on Fri. I would hold up items and she'd approve them, most everything I picked out was to her standards but there were a few items that according to Miss G, weren't "Fancy enough" . Ha! Too funny. In the end she wore her fancy Nancy ballet slippers and fancy Nancy purse that she got as a Christmas present last year, a fancy "itchy" boa wrapped around her waist and a crown with antenna over her curled hair. She had on several pieces of "jewelry" and her sun glasses. If any of you have girls out there you have got to check out the books.....
Here's a excerpt from Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy... I am ecstatic. (That's a fancy word for happy.) We're going to get a puppy-a real one......
She always dresses fabulously and says unique words.

Open House ~ Ms.James Class

We had such a tight shift on Tuesday. We managed to squeeze everything in, including open house, a parent teacher conference, and stopping for ice cream at Dairy Queen afterwards. I think we might make ice cream a tradition for all open house evenings.

She was so proud of her art work hanging out in the entrance to the school.

They have a puppet area in her class room.

Birthdays Galore!!!

I cant believe how the time flies!!! Little Miss G just turned 6!!! Wow! We had so many celebrations! She's such a blessed Girl! Happy Birthday Sweetheart! We Love You ! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Beautiful Skirts

Yep arent they gorgeous? I spent the majority of saturday morning figuring out how to make them with the help of my M-I-L(she made the Black Mod skirt, while I was making the Pink Fab skrit) and then Saturday night I wipped up the Green Paisley skirt! Whew! What a weekend! These will be in my etsy shop soon. Right now the only sizes will be (6-12,12-18, 18-24 months) and then 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

School Time

As you can see my baby started Kindergarten last monday. Doesn't she look excited!!! Here you can see her on the Cat bus, on her way to school . Further down you also see me at her school walking her to class on her first day too! She wanted me and daddy to meet her there to make sure she made it to her classroom (she was a little uncertain if she could remember where it was)

This is her before school waiting in the driveway for the bus. We did alot to waste time that morning(since her bus was 1/2 a hour late), so you'll see her posing , playing 'rock paper sissors" with daddy, and then her getting on the bus.

She informed me that evening that the best part of her day was riding the bus. She absolutely loved it. She also let me know that I no longer need to follow her and then walk her to class, she was confident that she knew where she was going and even if she did get lost her teacher would be sticking her head out into the hallway to make sure she'd make it to class. So I feel demoted some how. *pout pout pout* I guess I'll get over it. She did make sure to ask me what I was now doing with my days since she was now at school all day... Made me feel good to know she noticed i'm all alone now.

Stoked that Summer & my 60+ hrs are OVER!!

Yep sad huh? those are my summer hours. Being a nanny, a mom & a wife(amongst many other things) I rarely had time this summer for anything aside from working. I spent this past weekend in total surprise that I could actually function past 9:00pm, yea not very late but normally by 8:30 I am a zombie of drool and slurring words. I literally feel like I am not sober at these "late" hours. This past weekend I let one of my girlfriends talk me into letting her have a "jewelry party" here at my house, I couldn't believe I said yes. Not that I'm not a very giving and sharing person, but I really wanted to join in on the fun & I really didn't think I'd be able to do that since the kids I watch didn't officially start school until Monday... Well here comes Saturday night...Normally I would have spent at lest all day and the day before "super cleaning" but I just wasn't feeling up to it, so instead I just picked up, swept and then spent most of Saturday morning relaxing. THANKYOU for me not feeling like it, b/c when 11:00pm came and went and the "party" was still in full swing, I was actually still in full swing too!!! YAY! One of my girlfriends actually noticed and thanked me for not kicking them out yet. They ended up leaving at about 11:50 and I was still going, I finished cleaning up and still stayed up to read a few chapters. I love when "summer" ends. I am so glad that I can stay up past 8:30 and not get picked on for not making sense when I talk, b/c I am still "there". Happy End Of The Summer To ME!!!

Good luck to you!

Give Away today

Hello all! Since my shop is officially up and running, I decided to call in a favor of a fellow blogger Julie over at Joy's Hope. She has helped to inspire me over the last year or more, so when she said she love to help me out, I was just ecstatic, to say the least. For those of you who are new to my site I'd love to give you the tour... over to the left you'll see photos of my beautiful daughter and my loving husband, who love every minute of my creativity and are so encouraging in my endeavor. Especially little Miss G who is constantly telling me I need to add a little more ribbon here and more rhinestones there! Love 5 year olds and their independence. As most of you will notice I took a leave of absence throughout the beginning of the new year, that was due largely in part to the craft fairs I took part in with a few girlfriends this past spring. I loved them so much. I just had the hardest time setting up and taking down, it was like I never wanted them to start and once they started I didn't want to leave. Hearing the feedback was such a great boost for my confidence and self esteem. Now if only I could start selling on a more regular basis... now this is where you and Julie come in.

Julie and I are hosting a giveaway this morning, it will go on until monday July 6th noon pacific time, where Julie will randomly choose to receive one of my most popular items the Chalk Clipboard absolutely FREE and for ANYONE who leaves a comment and makes a purchase here with in the next 30 days, will receive 25% off there 1st order. I'll be providing all commenters with a coupon code to redeem before check out.

Thankyou for checking out my blog and my shop. Come back when ever you feel the need. I'd love any and all feedback.

Thanks and Take Care
