What's New..

Well, the wedding has been upped a bit..It's now set for August 18,2012. So a scrambling we go..I'm finding all kinds of crochet patterns online for christmas stuff. I hope to make some toys and stuffies to pass out for those that won't get anything..We'll see... I'm getting everyone ready for the new school year..Only 4 left in school..I snuck a peek at my blog and oh my..Boy have my kids grown fast..Right when you think they will never grow up..BLINK...They are..Cassie is going to be a Sophomore..She has a friend Alex who will most likely become a permanent fixture in a couple more years..He's nice..I really like him...Andie is going to be in 8th grade...Last year of Jr High for her...Valerie is in 3rd/4th grade and Sarah is beginning her journey in Kindergarten...We are going to be taking a shot at lapbooking..Looks like alot of fun as well as educational..I'm finding sooo much info and AWESOME sites.. This weekend is our family reunion for my dh's family..It's bound to be a great time for all...And I've taken up trying to Bonsai again..No out of state moves are in the future, so I figured why not..Plus one plant I want to start won't flower for 5 to 7 years..So I'll be almost 50 by the time it flowers..Hope everyone is having a great day...Crafty Hugs....

Lots of happenings..

Bree and Jeff came home and had their engagement pictures done..I think they turned out beautiful..

Katie has graduated from high school. I bet it's going to seem really weird to her when everyone else goes to school and she doesn't have to. Eventually she's planning on going to college, but for now she wants to chill..

I'm such a proud mama..Cassie is going to be a Sophomore,Andie an 8th grader,Valeie a 4th grader and Sarah Kindergartener. That song pops into my head "Don't Blink"..It's soo true..I remember Katie and Bree going into high school now it's my 3rd in the throws of high school.. But the END PRIZE is being ALONE with my AMAZING hubby..Almost 21 years now..I had a birthday I'm now 40!!!!!!!!!...I had a harder time turning 30 than I am 40..I also found some pictures I thought were long gone..Really neat to find pictures..Maybe when I have more time I will scan some and upload them in..A memory lane for me.. I crocheted a chili pepper using the correct size hook and he turned out bigger than I expected so I made a doll out of him.His name is Julio..

I am going to be opening up a store. I put Julio in there to see what happens. Well, that will be about it for now. I better get some cleaning and crafting done while Cassie has the kids at the park. Take care.. Crafty Hugs...
