What do you do with this catastrophe?

This, of course!

The hazard of being the only one that takes pictures in my family is that this is the only picture of me, and boy it is a good one!

For the love of all things Craftie!

As always, I say I will be better about blogging about this or that.  Well here is another topic that I don't blog about that I should, Craft Club.  One day, I will post all the great crafts that we have done over time but don't hold your breath.  For now I am grateful I have gotten this one posted!  I was in charge of craft club for the month of Nov (I wasn't able to get my self motivated until the second week of Dec but at least I got it in!)  

This is what I came up with, I had the girls bring their own frame and I supplied everything else.  Super easy and so stinking cute!

Up close

I think everyone has hung theirs on their front door.  We never use our front door and anyone that comes over comes in through the garage.  It was to cute to hang where no one would see it so I hung it in the  living room.

Accessorize! Accessorize! Accessorize!

Slowly over time my daycare lady has been cutting back the days that she will work.  Which in turn has cut my schedule back,  as of right now I am only working 1 1/2 days at the clinic. What do I with my extra time ACCESSORIZE, and help everyone else too.  I am an independent consultant for Paparazzi,  selling very cute, and very inexpensive jewelry and hair accessories.  Everything is $5.50 or less, yes I said $5.50!

 I have never been big on the whole party plan thing.  First things first I am not a salesperson! I am not comfortable asking people to spend money on things, especially expensive things. That is one of the reasons I chose to do this.  Everything sells itself all I have to do is show up and set up.  It's fabulous!  Another reason, when I signed up there where only 700 people signed up in the US.  Considering a certain candle company has well over 100,000+ consultants, I felt this was a perfect time to jump in.  One thing that I can say is, my intuition was correct.  I have been doing very well and have more than compensated my nursing income.  The best part about it,  I can do this whenever I want.  Love that!

This is a small craft fair I did over the weekend.

Disney on Ice

We thought we hadn't gotten quite enough of Disney this year so we decided we better cram one more thing in, Disney on Ice!! When Jaden and Josh were little we went every year and I also remember going every year when I was little, also. I love having a 3 year old so I can continue going! Jaden and Josh don't mind either, they still love to go.

Josh and Grandma.  One day Josh will not pull a face every time
the camera comes out.

Every year the kids have to have the snow cones in the light up cups.
A princess for J, a light up cup for Jax and Incredibles for Josh.

Josh was in charge of taking pictures and he took so many good ones I had to make a slide to fit them all in.

More Halloween

I am a room mom at Jax's preschool, for his halloween carnival we decorated pumpkins, made witch broom bags played pin the nose on the pumpkin, read halloween stories, sang songs, and had treats.

Jax is still getting use to preschool and this is usually where is  attached when I am in the room.

Grandma's witch

Josh always adds his own flare: no witches , just marshmallows with mohawks

Forget making the witches, Jax just ate the frosting

Jaden's the only one that can follow instruction

How cute!

Josh's halloween costume, freaks me out a little.
