I've kind of been a crafting machine lately!! I got my skirt done, which I talked about a while ago, I am learning how crochet, which is a LOT of fun, and I have started pasting photos to tiles, making really pretty picture frames! They are really neat! I've only done one, but it looks GORGEOUS!!! I'll give you three guesses as to who's pic I put as the first pic!! Of course, my number one kiddo, Brinley! I can't wait to get like a million of them done, so I can give them out as gifts! I'm also going to start painting on ceramic tiles, and making coasters for people, probably for Christmas! I'm excited about all of the ideas I have for Christmas! I need to get on it!! I really owe a LOT to Danny's aunt Betty, because she's the one who helped me get bit by the sewing bug!! She taught me how to use the machine!! I'm looking forward to the next few months!! He he he!!

It's been a while...again!!
Grr!! I was so excited to blog every single day, and it's been a week since my last post, AGAIN!! Oh well, I'm here now, and that's what matters!! =) This has been a VERY long week, and I have never been more glad that it is Friday!! I am SO glad that tomorrow's the weekend, and the only thing I have to do is finish up school shopping, which isn't a lot because we did it all last week! Thanks to Tax Free Weekend, we saved like $400!! =)
Monday starts the Big Idea Festival at http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/, and I can't wait!! I'm really looking forward to learning some new scrapping techniques!! Right now, I'm in a class called Write Now!, a zippy journaling workshop that's going to teach me how to write gooder!! =P So far I've learned a LOT!! I love it!
I've been crafting like crazy lately!! Usually I just buy stuff, and then I get bored with the hobby, whatever it may be, but so far, I've been USING what I've bought!! On Wednesday, I made a new bag for my wire jewelry making supplies, and I made a bunch of trees of life! I don't think I'm doing them quite right, but I don't care!
This afternoon, I have to go to the eye doctor for a Glaucoma test. Please pray that I pass!! A month ago, I got my eyes checked, and I tested in the high risk range for glaucoma, so my further testing is today. Please pray!! I don't need ANOTHER ailment!!
That's all for now folks, hopefully there will be more later!! =)

We have water!!!
I just wanted to update that my evening has been a LOT better than my day was!! We have water!! My super amazing husband fixed it!! =) I'm really excited to take a shower!! Yay!
Another great note, I hit an all time high with Tara this evening. She had to go to bed early, because she didn't want to eat her dinner. She went to bed around 7:15, and I went in her room to check on her at 7:30, and she was trying to go to sleep. She started crying, and she told me that she feels like no one loves her. It was really heartbreaking. We talked for a while, and then I told her to scream, as loud as she can. At first, she was REALLY embarrassed about it, and then she started screaming. I told her that sometimes I yell when I'm mad, that it helps to release some frustrations or ANGRY energy. She eventually just starts screaming over and over again, and she finally got the point of my exercise. I told her that we love her, it just makes us sad when she acts the way she does. I think overall, we had a huge breakthrough!! =)
Lastly, I've had a fun night crafting!! I finished painting my birdhouse, and I'm moving on to making my bookmarks and journal! How fun!!
