Updates

As you can see Adia has been losing teeth like crazy! 3 teeth in two weeks time and she has a fourth one loose. She is getting rich while the tooth fairy is going slowly broke!!! At this rate soon she is not going to be able to bite into anything cause she will have no front teeth!

I recieved this lovely hemp necklace, bracelet, and keychain in the Friends of Craftster Raffle Swap. They are really very pretty in real life! The necklace and earrings I sent have not been collected by my partner yet as she has been out of town. I am hoping that she does like them once she gets back. I woudl hate for anyone to be dissapointed in what I have made.

We have been busy, busy, busy! Always seem to be too busy. There are so many things I want to do and it seems there is just not enough time in the day. I only get so much "me" time in a day and I hate having to choose between crafting, reading, or watching a movie with Jason.

So this weekend we had a busy one. It was a full birthday weekend for our cousin/neice (or whatever you want to call her!) We had a family dinner on Saturday with lots of swimming and chatting. There is nothing I love more than spending time with my family, especially with all my cousins and their kids. We went back for the second half of the party on Sunday and watched a presentation about birds (definately not my fave thing in the world)

Despite all the running around I did squeeze in a little bit of craft time. I made some more charms with the scrabble tiles and dominos. I also made two beaded cell phone charms since mine broke on Friday. I am also 90% finished with my "friend" for the make me a new friend swap. Considering I have never made anything like this before, she turned out pretty well. I am not sure if she is swap worthy or not though. I am going to finish her up, take some photos and ask for some outside opinions. If I don't send her out I will definately post pics here. Otherwise I'll have to wait to post until she is received. I hate having anxiety about what I make for others. Maybe I should just stop swapping!

I am already starting to plan what I want to do for my holiday baking, so get ready for some good eats. The kids are both into helping me bake/cook things so everything this year will have lots of V family love added in!

Speaking of baking and cooking the kids and I made our own personal pizza's last week. They did such a good job, had fun, and they both ate their whole pizzas. Landon is so hit or miss when it comes to eating. I may have to try letting him help out more if it means he will actually eat more! I think we are definately going to do the personal pizzas again soon. I am going to upload the photos to my Fickr if you want to see them.

(I can't figure out how to get them to show on here, for some reason the gadget doesn't work for me! I also can't figure out how to get the pictures I do post on her to be where I want them to be rather than all at the top of the page, oh well)
