I made an about.me page!  :)  It has all of my online profiles cataloged on one page.  Very cool!  I signed up for it through my BzzAgent campaign.  Another cool site.

Quileute Days

The book club spent 4 days in Forks & La Push.  I LOVE it over there! We rented a house on the banks of the Sol Duc River for the weekend.  It was so much better than staying in a hotel! Staying up late watching scary movies.  Trying to start a fire in 90% humidity.  Slugs every where.  It was fun and lots of good memories.  :)

Quileute Days was going on in La Push.  That's where we spent most of our time.  We met lots of new people.  Ate great food.  Had fun on First Beach and even more fun and excitement hiking down to Second Beach! 

Here's a couple pictures from the trip.  Two from First Beach and my mom hugging Kiowa (Embry from the Twilight Wolf Pack.)

If you would like to see more pictures from the trip I have them here on my Flickr.

Easy Seed Bead Bracelet

I made a tutorial for a new craft forum I'm a Mod' on.  The site is called Crafting City.  I'll be posting new tutorials on there soon!  So check back often.

Here is what I showed how to make & here's the link to the tutorial.

Happy 4th of July Weekend!

Hope you're all having a great weekend!  Not much going on around my house.  Just relaxing with my boys.  Watching action movies & eating popcorn.  Soon I'll retreat into my James Dean room to watch some chick flicks & work on some bead work.  I already have some new things to add to my etsy shop.  Hope to have the new listings up by tomorrow.

I am having a 25% off sale until 9pm Pacific Monday night.  (midnight Eastern)  Just enter coupon code "HAPPY4TH" when checking out.

Summer Time!

Well we took our first trip of the summer!  Woo Hoo!  We always have fun when we go to Seattle.  The family photos may not always turn out but we have fun taking them.  lol

This one was taken at the Woodland Park Zoo.  As you can tell with five boys it's very hard to get them all to look at the camera at the same time.  This one was the most decent one that I took.  At least I had two of them looking at me. 

This one was taken at Dash Point State Park near Tacoma.  Here we have the gazer who it probably watching the girls that were running on the beach behind me.  Next to him we have my little ham & cheeser.  Next up is our little Rock Star.  He says he's a metal head but enjoys Ke$ha a little too much.  lol  The last two...If WWE had a toddler division these two would be the champs! 

Cupcake Royale is the ONLY reason my hubby ever agrees to go on family trips to Seattle.  The two on the left are Red Velvet and the two on the right are Salted Caramel.  I would have taken a picture of my Raspberry Rhubarb cupcake but *someone* who will remain nameless ATE it all!  I said "taste this" and ran off to catch #3 & #4 as they were locking #5 outside of the gate.  Sadly I can't tell you if it really tasted like Raspberry & Rhubarb.
