"It's a" party!!!

Bear with me as I play catch up on my blog.....

We found out we were having a girl in November and Jeremy's family had an "It's a (girl)" party for us!  Aren't these the cutest cupcakes ever?!?!?




Kennedy wanted to try on all of these baby clothes!  They didn't even come close to fitting her, but they were just to cute to try, I guess :)



And later we took our cute niece Madison to Disney on Ice.  Kennedy was in awe!  She didn't move the whole night, never took our eyes off those princesses!  We'll have to make this a tradition.

Thanks Joel and Emilee for the tickets!

Breakfast with Santa!

This year, we were able to go to Breakfast with Santa at Thanksgiving Point.  We had lots of fun.  Before breakfast, they had the kids decorate cookies with frosting and sprinkles.  In other words, the kids ate their weight in frosting and then were supposed to eat breakfast.  Well, our kids didn't need breakfast after that!  

There was face painting--Bridger really wanted an octopus, but they would only do Christmas  themed drawings (lame!!!), so he got Jack Skellington instead.  Kennedy got a glittery Christmas tree--a little too heavy on the glitter--I was worried about her eyes!

There were tons of fun crafts and activities for the kids to do!  They sat with Mrs. Clause, and saw the Gingerbread Man and The Grinch (who was just a little scary!)

And after a long wait, it was finally their turn to see Santa!  Kennedy told him she wanted a prince for Christmas, and Bridger said he wanted Transporter Lego's.  Unfortunately, Santa thought he said Transformer lego's and Bridger was a little to timid to correct him.  As soon as they got off his lap, Bridger burst into tears!  I told him that we would write Santa a letter and then he would know for sure and that made him feel a lot better.  Poor guy!

On our way home, we stopped and picked up a Christmas tree.  It smells soooo good!  It's nice and tall and bushy and I can't wait to get it all decorated!

Who wants leftovers!!!

he boutique was a great success!  Thanks to everyone who went shopping :)  However, I still do have some products left over that I would love to sell to help Francis.  Normally, I would never sell anything on my blog, but...you know....

I am seriously the worst sales person ever--I felt so bad taking people's money!  I just wanted to give it away sometimes :)

Here are pictures of what I have left, I can make the hair posy's in any of the fabric choices below and you can buy as many as you'd like.  The crayon rolls I only have one each of, and the scarves as shown are one each except for the green on green (see below...)  I actually don't have any green ones--but I do have enough fabric left to make  four grey on grey and three brown on brown.  You'll just have to use your imagination to know what they look like :)  These scarves actually sold really well!  I might create my own etsy shop if it didn't take so much energy and commitment.....

And shipping?  It's on me--it's a good way to keep in touch with you people :)  p.s. I'll ship it the next day--I promise.  Normally, I am a horrible horrible shipper--the post office is so not my friend, but I will do it this time.  Yes, I will. 

So, remember:  green on green scarves = none   brown on brown = 3

and grey on grey = 4

p.s.  maybe I should mention that the scarves are all made out of jersey cotton--t-shirt material, they are lightweight, so mostly an accessory you can keep on without getting overheated, but they do keep you warm outside too...

Crayon roll #5

And the posies, I can make in any of these fabrics--the pics are pretty true to color, but in person much prettier.  They're all made out of upholstery fabric--which is really thick and perfect for fall and winter.

Posy #2  (it's a shiny gold color...)

Posy #8 (a silvery gray color)




Maybe I should mention prices???  The scarves are $12, the crayon rolls are $10 and the posies are $6.

Aren't you proud of me for figuring out all of these 'buy now' buttons?  Only catch is, they are only up for a week (it was a free trial, hee hee :) )  So, after a week, you'll just have to email me, I guess!

Happy shopping and thank you for supporting my friend, Francis!

My back hurts!!!

I have been crafting up a storm lately!  It's been fun though--but my craft room is a small disaster area...  and my back does hurt!  oh, well.  I was invited to make some fun things for a Christmas boutique tomorrow.  It's from 10-3:00 and it's in Riverton (1071 W. River Pine Circle (12100 South)).  Everyone should come!!  Not just for the shopping aspect--just because I would love to see you :)
 

I'm making these cute crayon rolls--this is just a picture of one style--honestly, I haven't finished sewing the others yet--but there is the cutest cowboy one!

And these hair posey's I love!  I made them out of upholstery fabric, so they're really thick and they look really cute pinned in your hair, or on a scarf or hat.

And last but not least, I have made some scarves--in green, brown, and grey.  Here's a few other links with samples of what will be there tomorrow (advent calendars and lots more).

In other news, my friend Francis (Brock Spann) has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.  So, all of the proceeds from my sales (at the boutique) will go to help cover her massive medical expenses. This girl has an amazing blog--I just love reading her journal entries!  Doctor's are 95% sure it's not cancerous, but she still needs brain surgery--which will happen in the next couple of weeks.  Please keep them in your prayers!  She has such a beautiful family!!  And check out her blog (and leave a comment--she would love that!)  I've known Francis since I was 10 years old--she was a few years older, so me and her sister, Lois would play with her barbies.  I think one time we embarrassed the life out of her by asking where all of her barbie clothes were when she had a boy over....sorry about that!
