Preschool Party

We had Alexander's preschool birthday celebration today. It was supper simple but he loved it. I got him a cupcake cake that I decorated with dinosaurs and his teacher made him a birthday crown to wear. The kids were so excited about the cupcakes that I could barley keep their hands out of them while I got pictures! His teacher also took the kids out to the pond and got some cute pictures of the class. I am so thankful for where he is, his teacher is so great.




Enjoy the pictures and video...

The PRIDE of USA

I just couldn't help myself! The fourth of July is a perfect time to use wine/water glasses and when I saw these "Pride" charms at the store I had to make a set. I'm not sure what I will do with them since we, most likely, won't be here on the fourth, but I thought they were cute anyway.

The New Set

Today I decided to make a set of earrings and necklace. The black bead is a little heavier than I thought it would be, but it was still fun to make. I have decided to start trying to sell my stuff on Esty.com It's one of those websites that you have never heard of then as soon as one person mentions it, you hear it everywhere. Anyway, I thought it might be nice to make back some of the money I have spent on beads.

And now there is jewelry














Who said beading is old fashion? I am having way to much fun with this!!!! Don't be surprised if for your next birthday or Christmast gift you get something from my new collection, haha! (PS you can put your request in for colors or style if you want)

My new craft

As most everyone knows, I love craft projects. At a recent visit with a really good friend she showed me what she was doing for her sons art/custom framing store. We made a few wine glass charms together and I was hooked. I am trying not go over board, but those of you who know me, know that is hard to do. I have posted a very small sample of what I have done this week. I have created two styles, with hopes for a third. I also have a ton of other ideas, but so far I have made a set for a girls baby show, 2 sets for a bride and groom, and 2 sets of matching colors. If I can find a good place to sell or give them as presents I hope to make many more like, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, etc. Fun Fun Fun, Thanks Jo!!!
