Sarah's Bday present!

My friend Sarah's birthday is Sunday and she is a Sci-Fi freak!! She loves space themed things and wants to name he coffee shop "The Outer Rim", lol get it? She has a wood island in her kitchen and her husband is always getting mad at her for putting her hot pans on it, so I made her some large hot pads that will fit under her large pans! I know she is going to love the fabric soo much! Funny thing is I was watching a medical show the other day an one of the doctors had a scrub cap on made of the same material!!

Zade's card

My nephew Zades Birthday is coming up, and I made him this comic book inspired card from Bam Pop paper I purchased fro Torendi.net! The tag tucks into the back of the card! I hope he loves it! I am going to make him a pillowcase, I will post that later! I am off to the store to get some fabric!

Thankful

This is a little project I made with the girls! Well mostly I made it, but they stamped a few leaves and picked out what they were thankful for! They were so excited to help because they are usually not allowed in Titus' room where all my stuff is! The card is a card I made for my sisters 8th wedding anniversary! It is late in getting to her, but I wanted to be able to send something with it! I used stuff I bought from Torendi to make, I wish I would have bought some of there fabric because the modern 8th anniversary is linen or lace, it would have been nice to add that to the card. I guess since it is already late, I can still do it!! Bex, if you are reading this act surprised when you get this in the mail!!!

School and crafting!

 Marlie has been bring home a lot of stuff from school that I need to hang up. Homework chart and sharing schedule, and a few art projects that all need to be  on display. I took an old cork board I had and made it for her work. The Marlie's work tag was made with Torendi's September kit of the month and a paper packet from the store! I love the stuff they are coming out with, so FUN!! Marlie helped me make the thumb tacks by gluing chip board to the push pins! I am going to paint the border eventually, but need to find the right color!!
 

Procrastinate!

  I have always been a procrastinator, my whole Senior speech was on the subject. It hasn't let me down much, but it seems that I have been had! I waited to long to purchase Marlie's school supplies and now, I only have half of the list to send to school with her. Should I pretend we are poor and then forget about it, or should I be a responsible adult and send a note?! Kinding af course, the supplies will be there by the end of the week. I honestly forgot it was Labor day weekend or I would have went sooner.
  Marlie is super excited to be starting 1st grade this year. Her teacher is Miss White and she is doing a pirate theme in her class all year! I hope they get to dress up at some point! Mars is stoked to be at school all day, but I am thinking she doesn't quite understand what that means yet. The first week of school she is going to be very hungry because she talks so much and doesn't eat her lunch at lunch time. I am looking forward to getting on a schedule again, I sure am growing up fast!

Sci-Fi

I pride myself in being a dork, I happily declare it to all who meet me! But I am a big fake! I hardly ever watched Sci-Fi (well at least not willingly) until I met Jeremy. I can not believe that I never let myself indulge in something that I have grown to love so much! Jeremy recently got me hooked on Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and then of course I had to go back and watch the Terminator movies with Arnold in them! I rally liked them, but now I have been dreaming in Terminator!! I remember Jeremy looking at me in disbelief when we were dating when I told him I had never seen all the Star Wars movies or Matrix. He promptly sat me down and put them in the VCR(hehe) and enlightened me to Sci-Fi greatness!! I have always been a fan af Fantasy like Lord Of the Rings, so it really didnt surprise me that I loved it! I actually love most things! I think the reason it too me so long to discover it was because none of my friends and family that I hung around with liked it so we never watched it! I usually did what the group did! What I have found, to my sadness, is that most of the really good Sci-Fi shows get cancelled, why is that? I still have a lot of catching up to do, and my husband still cant believe that I havnt seen most stuff. Battlestar Galactica now, Trekky convention in the future!!

Jamie Renee

Jamie is 3! I cant believe how much she has changed in the last 2 months. The biggest milestone being that she has given up her pacifier for good, willingly with out a fit!! I thought it was going to take me forever to take that thing away from her. She only used it at night for the last 6 months, but it was still such an eye sore for me to see my big girl with it in her mouth, but I liked the sleep, so in the end that won out. On her birthday we put all of her pacifiers( or as she calls them fires") in a box and the pacifier fairy can and got them and left her a Hello Kitty PEZ dispenser and a box of candy!! So glad it is done with!
For her birthday we went down to the Seaside Aquarium and then the next day had a little party for her! I had the kids do a craft project instead of play games. We tried to play games last year and it didn't go over so well! I love that Joanna has a dollar section full of fun little crafts for kids to do. The ones they did are wooden magnets that you color with markers!!
