Busy Life...

I have been so busy the past couple of months and honestly I don't see a major curb in the momentum coming soon, although usually the holidays bring some sort of releif for me. So what have I been up to?

Well... lets do this in pictures...

Making signs and working on stuff for my mom's school carnival:


Making a shirt for my mom's teacher friend who's granddaughter obviously goes to Spring Creek:


Making gifts for my hair dresser who had a baby not long ago:


Had to add in the bling decorations on the top right of the bag because some glue transfered to the bag and was all over the place. Eek... but it turned out pretty cute!


Went to the fair with my family and took Laci - made her the perfect shirt to wear that day:


Ate lots of fried food - but this was the best - fried mac and cheese slider - uhm melt in your mouth awesomesauce!
 

Saw this at the fair and thought of my bloggy buddy Jen at Life Crafts and Whatever because they are so big into UFC:
 

Laci rode some rides - ok LOTS of them:



Self portrait with my sister and I (isn't she pretty!):

Got Laci's face painted (picture of the day!):


Lets see... this past weekend Laci went to a dance clinic and got a shirt that they were supposed to bling there. Lets just say, I did a re-do, as it wasn't looking so hot when it came home (note to self, should have given more instruction to my mom than just here is a small bag of rinestones and the setter - things like, oh, can't adhere them to silk screen or vinyl and that the tool can burn silk screen and vinyl). Eh, in the end I was able to pick the rhinestones off and you can't even tell that the shirt looked kinda trifling.


Went to a wedding and made one of the presents for them since they didn't register anywhere (left is the inspiration and to the right is the tile I made for them):


Self portriat of Jake and I at the wedding:


Yesterday working out at the gym and getting photo bombed by Megan from Miss Madison's Charmed Life... I am just saying... I could have looked way worse! So thanks for the decent workout pic gal!


Finished workout pic numbers... see the machines are WAY off your body's real numbers...

Heck, by the time I ran to get my car from getting an oil change, speed shopped - literally - at the grocery store and got home, in an hour and 7 minutes I burned 600 calories... woot woot!

Then as I was making my eggs and getting the table ready this morning the salt did this...


I was thankful that it was on the table and not the floor, but here is to hoping the rest of my day doesn't follow in this path.

Also as a side note Jake and I have been going to church every Sunday and have found an awesome ABF group that we are joining. We went to Discovery Desserts at the pastors home on Sunday night and had a great time. Not to mention that we ended up seeing Rachel and Preston at Discovery Desserts. Laci was a flower girl for them back in April. It was pretty awesome that they were there! Let's just say Laci would love to marry Preston... sorry toots Preston's taken and you are way too young!




Cheers to a busy life, but I certianly could use a break soon!
Hugs & TTFN~

Princess and the Popstar Giveaway

My buddy Jenn over at Life Crafts and Whatever is hosting a giveaway. We got the chance to be a part of the awesome watch party. I am the one that missed the memo of having their kid dress up so she was in jean shorts and a shirt that had bling. So I am going to go with that she was dressed as a popstar... k.. works for me anyways! This is what she is giving away two barbie dolls: If you want the chance to win this awesome giveaway check out Jenn's post and enter away... FYI - You will see this post until next Tuesday repeat everyday... yup cuz not only do I know my kiddo would love these dolls. I am trying to win em. You should try too. TTFN~ Julie

So I notice that a couple things are pinned and viewed more than others. I just found out though that this one post as seen here and the total credit for the tutorials goes to Ashley from Cute as a Fox. The links are all on my original post. Anyways.... this basket has been pinned over 4,688 times for one pin alone. Another showed that it had been pinned 541 times making this being pinned over 5,000 times. Uhm. I am stoked! 

***OMG... so just installed the PIN-IT button on the page and found that it has actually been pinned more than 11,000 times.... AHAHAHAHAH AWESOME! ***

Anyways, wanted to share my excitement. It is cool to inspire other people.

TTFN and happy Wednesday!
