You have a chance to win - but you must go to this blog for details on how to enter:

My DIY Ornament Wreath

So as most of you who know me...know I am not the creative type.

Seriously! I'm not! Okay except for when it comes to hair pretties for little girls.
If it is a flower or a bow - I'm good. Anything else. Foooorgetaboutit!

Well, I saw this adorable little wreath over at my friend Karla's blog
and had to give it a woah!


You must follow her instructions and make sure you do THREE major things!
*Glue the tops to the ornaments before you begin.
*Use the thinnest wire coat hanger you can find.
*Make sure you have LOTS of ornaments if you want a full - large wreath.

Here is how ours turned out!!!

NO LAUGHING!!!!!!!!!!!! Karla is totally Mrs. Martha, I'm only a wannabe!


Now go try it yourself! And have fun!

FAMILY PICTURE TIME!!!!

I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving!!!

We unfortunately were stuck at home all sick with the stomach flu. We missed out on Grandma's Thanksgiving day feast. However she was kind enough to put together a whole meal and sent it over to our house!!!
Kaleigh was the first to get sick..on Thanksgiving eve. Then exactly 12 hours later in the middle of the night the baby and I both at the same time woke up miserably sick.
I have not had much time to do anything online while trying to take care of two kids while being sick myself. My energy is just now starting to resume back to a level where I can get some things accomplished!

I did want to post these pictures of our family..taken by Butterfly Kiss Photography!

I hope you enjoy as much as we do.

Blessings to all - wishing you a happy and HEALTHY Christmas!

So tonight I had an unusually slow day on ETSY. Well, it doesn't surprise me...as today was Thanksgiving...and most people were busy in the kitchen - and spending time with family and friends.

In the mist of taking care of a sick little girl today, and not being able to spend Thanksgiving with my parents...I had gotten pretty sad.

Well...that all changed after I opened my email tonight.

There was a message from a fellow ETSYian - and she let me know she had featured my shop in her blog!

OMG!

Not only was I featured, she did a lovely write up and posted some of my favorite items!

Let's just say - she truly made my very lonely Thanksgiving - EXCITING!

Who is this person you ask? COLORADA

Check out her fantastic shop by clicking any of the pictures above or below!

She makes everything in her home workshop with the help of friends and family who keep her sane and remind me to make dinner. (Hmmm that sounds all to familiar)!!!

Thank you for the feature colorada! May God bless you - and Merry Christmas!
