Happiness....

is seeing my oldest graduate kindergarten. He was soo adorable..singing and dancing. He's so smart, and I'm proud of him, but at the same time my heart hurts at the thought that he's growing up so fast.


is seeing my nephew graduate high school. I'm so proud of him.


is seeing this smile everyday. I LOVE him like crazy. My lil' Jakey pie. He's soo cute I just wanna gobble him up, lol.



is getting yummy fabric in the mail. I just wanna hold them all day, lol. :)


Until next time, peace and love.

I'm Back!

I know...it's been forever and a day, but I have a good excuse this time,lol. I'm prego with our 5th lil' monkey, and even though we're soo happy and thankful...pregnancies are really hard on me. I'm trying to take it easy, but I just love crafting soo much. I've resurrected my etsy, and am working on all sorts of good stuff. I've been adding new stuff daily, so take a looksie.
Tis' the season for end of school year teacher gifts, and I have a few cool things. I have some apple canvas totes, notecard sets, tissue holders, scrabble tile pendants, etc. I still haven't decided which of those I'm giving Jace's teacher. :P Other than that, not much else going on..just taking it day by day and enjoying the craziness of my life. I'm still semi-sane and have been able to stay out of the loony bin, and that's something to be thankful for. I WILL be updating more often, so stay tuned for some giveaways and other rabling blah-blah posts. I gotta go get some cute things finished that will be listed tomorrow.Talk to you soon. Peace.

Tis the season...

for giving and being thankful. I read about this charity on Noel Mignon's challenge blog and was completely shocked. I absolutely had no idea. I've given to this charity as well as sponsored a few marines as my way of giving back. If everyone just did their part we would truly make this world a better place.
I'm pretty much done with my Christmas shopping, and I've now just finished my cards. This week I gotta wrap, package, and send out those to distant family and friends. Well, I really gotta get to bed if I wanna wake up tomorrow to go to work. I leave you with some cards I made for Noel's Christmas challenge.

Soooo tired.....

I'm like a walking zombie. I don't get enough sleep...maybe 4 hours a night or so. My legs are killing me. Why? I have no freakin' clue. My husband is annoying the hell out of me; and I wanna lock my kids in a soundproof closet. Yeah, it's been one of them days. Well, actually it's been like that the last few days. Just blah...and ewwww...and uugggghhhh. So, what can you do? Nothing much, but suck it up. Take a deep breath, smile, and be thankful.
So, anyway, Thanksgiving was good. Really good. I had family from Houston come over, and we chilled, stuffed our fat faces, played games, and watched movies. The kids had a blast. Good Times. I loved seeing them. Here's a few pics from our Thanksgiving weekend:
This was the best pic I could get of these kids. They just would not sit still.

My brother, Josh, and his daughter Amaya.

Isn't my niece just too cute! LOVE her hair!

Well, I gotta go, these kids are driving me up a wall. Please pray for my sanity. It's hanging by a thread.

Happy Veteran's Day!

To remember, to honor, to be forever grateful. That's what this day is about. To my brother, Josh and my husband, Mars. I love you guys. Thank you for your service.

Our New President

Please pray for the new leaders of this country. May God give them the strength and wisdom to make some good changes for our country.

Halloween pics

Halloween was fun! We got to spend time with the family, eat, and just be. Good times. I wasn't able to get a pic of my kids together. By the time, I'd get one to stay, the other one would wander off disregarding my pleas to stay put, lol. So, that's when a lil' pic editing saves the day.

This was actually the closest I came to getting all 4 in a shot.

Here's Elyse wondering who the kid in the creepy costume is, and then proceeding to cry for Mommy.

After a long day of playing with all her cousins.....this is my lil' princess:

Hope everyone had a really great Halloween.
