I heart mail and presents!!

So today just shortly after I spilt my coffee in my lap while driving... grrrr... I opened the mail to find a wonderful suprise! The other girly I was doing the gift exchange with sent me some pretty wonderfulness too!! I mentioned to her that I am a photographer.. she made me a purdy purple camera strap (something I have been actually putting off making) She also made me this neato little pocket pouch, she plans on using hers for cupond... I plan on doing the same thing! Talk about great cuteness for orginization in my hectic life! She also made me a cute little red flower clip (not pictured because my daughter wont give it back) AND she packed in some yummy sweets she made, which came in handy while the kids were having a melt down in the back of the car while we were stuck in traffic, so miss kristen really is a lifesaver of a crafter! Oh and if you notice the red and white polka dot card in the back... it was a little note in a card she made!! I love the whole thing (makes me a little sad I didnt sne dher a bunch of goodies, note for the next go around) I hope she gets her present here soon too!! Check out her craftyness here and here is a picture of all my new pretties!!
(isnt that a cute pouch?! I love dots!!)


Yeah she got my gift and since I was a lameo and didnt take pictures before I mailed it you can see them here!

Snap shot of 7am

So this morning at 7am (mind you I do get up at six but im still asleep inside untill around 9) I was on top of my game. I had all 4 kids dressed, fed, and watching the grinch. I had 15 minutes to spare before we had to rush off to school, so I took the time to sit down with my snowman coffee cup and set up for a day worth of sewing (im going to admit though that I only got two things done yesterday because after such a suscessful morning, the afternoon turned to poo)
(And I just realized you cant see the 23 stocking I sewed for the whole family, we decided on doing only stocking stuffers this year.... it took about 45 minutes to cut and sew and I just have to convince someone else to make the felt pictures on them ha ha ha)


You should totally jump over to eightteen25 if you havent already! They have a neat snapshop for every thursday, it a great way to see what other people are doing the same time all around the place. Not to mention they are pretty crafty!!

I heart presents!!

So in my new adventure as a blogger I found a really neat gift exchange over at Craftaholic anonymous (Go me I totally just figured out how to link to a page ha ha aha haa) She invited everyone to join and then she matched everyone up with a partner (lucky me I got two) And yesterday I got my first gift in the mail! Jessica of Colour yourself design made me the cutest hat and scarf ever, she also made me some rings.. which I love because they are sooo cute and totally wild.. totally me! And boy was she busy, she also made me a headband and matching pin to wear (which will make me extra pretty at up coming Christmas parties!!) So a great big fat thank you to her and to Linda for hosting such a fun event!!Look forward to doing in in July!!

Look at those rings aren't they just fabulous!! 9you can even find them on the Etsy store Colour yourself design etsy

I forgot to take pictures of what I sent here so hopfully she will post pictures soon, in the mean time you can see the prettys everyone else made! here

Joining in on the fun at

Last night my kids ate canned raviolies for dinner.... yes from a can... not that I dont feed it to them from time to time for lunch, but really its not much of a dinner thing here. I tried to explain to them that im just to busy and they could have ice cream if they ate it... they dont seem to realize sewing, glueing, podging, spraying, and cutting is work not just play lol. Needless to say they got their drum stick (BTW if you didnt know they make snack size drum sticks now that are perfect kid size) So at nine o'clock I was making grown up dinner for the husband and I! (however he was late so I ate alone surrounded by mountains of grown out of kids clothes I have been crafting up! So here is my snap shot , thursday at nine pm yumm-o

OK here is my snap shot for Thursday 11/11 at 10 am (if you have not checked out eighteen25 ... do so and then play along too!!) I have to admit im one of those people, my dog was my first baby (althought I found out I was pregnant 2 weeks after getting him) however my dog seems to think that my kids are his babys. If you can immagen Nana from Peter Pan, then you can picture my 70lb pitbull Endo. He is a nurse maid. Yesterday he spent the morning litterally pulling my 3 oldest kids around the house with a chew toy.... he is such a goofball....

3 out of 4 watching Dora while I fold laundry.. that baby is loved to much!

So the ever inspiring ladies over at eightteen25 have this thursday snapshot thing where they give you a time, you snap a photo of whatever you are doing, then post it on friday! I always make a point to take a monday morning photo of my kids (they hate it) but this was a great chance to randomly pull out the camera and I got some pretty cute shots I would have other wised missed! Great idea, you all should fallow and play along, its nice to see im not the only other person with a messy house at 8am lol
