What a great day!!

Well, it was a great day starting at 4:31pm. When I got home, I was surprised by two packages in the mail. The first package was the beautiful elf coat from http://www.sillycondesigns.blogspot.com/. Perfect timing because the doll I ordered from bamboletta.com arrived just a few days ago. She is beautiful, Emily named her Isabella. Also, my eggs arrived from Viv's Egg Hunt Swap! I am soooo thrilled! I can't wait to show you these beauties! How wonderful these swap's are. I apologize for not posting a picture of the apron I recieved from the St. Patty's swap from http://busybee-laura.blogspot.com/ Love the froggies! (This post is not letting me add a picture -dangit. I will this weekend.)I need to get so I can get busy with some projects that I would like to get done this weekend.

My Twilight girls!

We braved the crowd Friday night at the local Hastings to attend the Twilight Prom. The girls looked great and had a lot of fun. Myriah was Bella and Emily went as Rosalie. I thought my girls would be much older when I took their prom pictures! Myriah won the Bella look alike contest and Emily got quite the applause when her name was called. We got home around 1am and got up the next morning to go to Kentucky for Myriah's Soccer Tournament.

I am not going to lie... I was quite excited to see the movie again! Oh, I am going to be reading the series again.

I'm a Winner!

I am so excited to find out that I won a beautiful little Elf Coat! Check it out! www.sillycondesigns.blogspot.com Thank you!

Computer Time!

Lately, I don't get the oppertunity to use this laptop in the evenings or weekend since Myriah and Clay have started playing World of Warcraft. If one is not playing it- the other is. We have other computers but this one is the one everyone wants. Anyway, the positive to me that it has given me extra time to get a few things done. Now that Jen has received the package, I can show pictures of what I sent in my St. Patrick's Day Mini swap.

I had so much fun putting this together. I know it was suppose to only be one item but, oh well. Hopefully, I'll continue to participate in swaps. The gifts were sent to Jen at http://lipstickandlaundryca.blogspot.com/ Her blog is great. So many beautiful pictures and handmade inspirations.

I picked up some more beads and wire tonight to make some more bird nests. If I get a chance to use the computer tomorrow night I will put pictures of them on here.

Burp!

I did make time today to make a few burp clothes. I have wanted to try these for awhile but I think I have been afraid to use the sewing machine too much. Silly? Perhaps, but I have always wanted to sew but have always had so many problems. With this new sewing machine, I can sew!! No problems! Love it!

Week in Review

This week was nuts. My brother Mike flew in last Tuesday, trouble at work, Bob(Bro #2) came to town on Thursday, Em had an illness, and did I mention that work was stressful? I don't feel like I spent near enough time with my bothers, the house is a mess, and the weekend is over and I am exhausted. Whah, whah, whah. Let's start that again.
This week was crazy! I am so glad I have had a few days to spend with my whole family. We have had a lot of QT time and I was even able to make it to a Mardi-Gras party with some great food.
Today, Mike, Emily and I made a fairy house. We have been wanting to make one for awhile and today was the day. Here is a few pictures:

Crazy Week

This week has been insane. But... that's okay because it is over! Yay! I joined another SWAP and I am excited to work on it!
