Unemployed

I’m into my first day of unemployment, I have yet to get over the initial shock and anger. But, I am determined to embrace the awesomeness that is not having to go to work every day. Here’s a list of things I’m going to try and enjoy: 1.Sleeping in – Needs no further explanation. 2.Pajamas – Again, no explanation needed 3.A clean house – Now that I will be home more, I have plenty of time to clean the house. 4.Eating at home – We love going out to eat, but it’s nice to know that we don’t NEED to. 5.Hanging with the family in the evening (not been done in 11 months) – I love my family. 6.TV – Mostly music/video stations 7.No commute – I don’t have to fight small town traffic that used to be a regular part of my day. 8. Being home for Madelyn - FINALLY! :) 9. Making more Jewelry - Again, no explanation needed! I know that there are so many more things I will be enjoying, but these are the biggies. I know that after a month or two, I’ll be climbing the walls. But for now, I’m going to enjoy being a slacker.

Three "Nanny" Goats Gruff

Hello all! Tonight is the BIG night! Opening night for my baby girl (who will be turning 6 next week....we won't talk about that)! She was picked to play Fanny Goat in her kindergarten musical/play Three Nanny Goats Gruff! She has a solo song and lines and everything!!!!!! I am a SUPER proud momma and can NOT wait to see it tonight. I will go to work and then head on over to see it and then head back to work! I am bringing my Flip Video camera so I will come back and bore you all to death with some clips! Wish her a "break a leg" please! Have a great day! Enjoy!!!! :)

Collaboration

This is what I made last evening. My husband stamped and helped paint and distress, then I soldered......for the first time! Did you know you could stamp on wood? :)
