I got this off of Lisa's Blog!
Here's how this works:
The first 3 people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1. I make no guarantees you will like what I make.
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It will be done this year.
4. You have no clue what it's going to be.
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The catch is that you must re post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 3 people who do the same on your blog. The first 3 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did, win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! Who's in?

.wow.
I am truly amazed by these shoes. Its one of those ideas that is so simple that every girl will probably feel dumb for not thinking of it before! Duh! The shoe has a sole with elastics that you loop ribbon through, so you can make it look however you like! genius.

.lemon coffee cake.
This is a wonderful cake that Ben and I made. It looks and tastes great. Ben was so excited and proud of this! he had me cut it right in half since we each did half the work.
FYI Coffee cake contains no coffee, it was eaten with coffee (like at a tea/coffee party) and thats where the name comes from.

And in the Spirit and Tradition of the Holiday, Mommy and me made corned beef and cabbage! Mmmm I love holidays!!

.my craziness of thoughts.
This post is mostly just for my siblings to know what i've been thinking and doing lately, you can give me advice if you feel the need.
a few weeks ago i got glasses to see if my vision was part of my headache problem. it wasnt and i returned them.
my hours at work got cut in half because im so efficient and they dont have enough work to give me to fill a 40 hour week.
i changed my mind about being a pastry chef and looked at some beauty schools. i made a plan to get an associates in business and a hair cutting certificate and open a salon. then i changed my mind. i looked at the bryman school, they give assisting certificates in the medical feild. i thought about radiology (x-rays and sonograms and such) but thats too much math for me. medical assisting (like a family doctors assistant) but blood is not my forte. dental assisting, cavities plaque and drilling teeth is gross. BUT... dental assisting in an orthodontic office equals nothing too disgusting. so i thought about that. and im still thinking. i went an toured the school and i like it. its a nine month program including an externship, i will get a certificate that i can come in and update anytime im feeling rusty for free. its valid anywhere in the US and it sounds good to me. but im not sure, it would create stable and nicely paying job opportunities for me, but i dont know if i would be really happy doing it.
at the beginning of the year i had a plan to buy a car within 4 months, my job gave me enough money to allow that. now if i dont get a second job it will be longer. im bummed, i have been trying really hard though. ive been going through spending all my money withdrawls. i know how rebecca bloomwood (confessions of a shopaholic) feels.
i want to plant some flowers in the back yard. i wanted to plant them against the back wall of mom and dads bedroom but dad said no (he didnt tell me why not) he wants them by the pool. i think this summer the kids will trample them though.
anyway, thats been me the last month. love you all.

.valentines.
valentines day was super fun! Lisa, Cindy and Dusty's kids came over for a kids valentines day extravaganza! I didnt get pics of everything but the party consisted of making candy necklaces, making valentines and treat bags, guessing how many m'n'ms in the jar, watching 'be my valentine charlie brown', having a dinner of animal shaped chicken nuggets and fries, decorating cupcakes, a heart hunt and general activities that children creatively come up with on their own! I think that everyone enjoyed themselves very much.
