Need some help....

2009-08-02T14:08:00.000-07:00

I am now a part of the Panther Pride Athletic Association! YAY! We are a group of parents that are helping the student athletes at our local public school raise money for jerseys and other miscellaneous sports items they are in need of. One of our fundraisers is going to be a dinner and silent auction. This will be held in Early September. My goal is to put together a Etsy/Artfire gift basket. I am in need of some generous sellers though! Donations are greatly appreciated but I will also be purchasing a few items to add to the basket.

The school colors are black and gold. The mascot is a Panther. All store information (web addresses, item donated etc...) will be typed up for easy access for the basket winner. I will be taking pictures of the basket and the dinner event.

If you are interested please contact me through this e-mail or through the convos on etsy or artfire.

Finally!

2009-07-20T09:08:00.000-07:00

I finally got my butt in gear and made some new stuff! I haven't worked with paper in a while and I really needed a break from the custom beading orders I have been working on so I made these cute Christmas gift tags that can double as ornaments.

4th of July

2009-07-07T08:47:00.000-07:00

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! We did. We spent the day cooking and getting ready for my sons 8th birthday party. The boys had a great time with Grandpa. Watching the monster truck crush cars, playing on water slides, playing in the river then finally settling down to a nice barbecue dinner and a Star Trek cake.

Once it started to get dark we moved our chairs out to the road and prepared to watch my brother the pyrotech do his thing. It was an awesome show yet scary at the same time. Watching the sky as the fireworks go off yet trying to watch the ground to make sure everything goes up into the air the way it's supposed to. Over all it was a really great day.

Went to the movies....

2009-06-01T13:28:00.000-07:00

We had a family outing this weekend. We went to see Up with my parents. It was really cute! I found myself laughing when nobody else in the theater was. My boys liked it so much that we only had to have one potty break. That is a big deal since we had four of the five boys with us. :)

If you're looking for a great movie to see with your kids take them to see Up. We'll definitely be going to see it again. Maybe this time we'll go see it in 3-D.

Here is my newest butterfly barrette. It wasn't wide enough so I had to improvise with the barrette part. I think it looks like it's flying with how it sits in the hair.
