Future Picasso?

Mommy: "What a cute picture!"
K: "It's my turtle."
K's Brother: "Ask her what the orange is."
Mommy: "What are the orange squiggles?"
K: "It's guts."
...yes that's right. The guts. K was very concerned about a smooshed baby turtle on the road. This is how she memorialized it. Then we asked God to put it in her yard in heaven. I am rather impressed with her interpretation at age 4. :)

Shower Fresh...All Day?

Well, you may not have expected to see this in my blog; and it may fall under the category of "too much information". But I feel compelled to share this with you! I am frequently trying new anti-perspirants in my quest for freshness, so when I saw this Clinical Strength advertised I wanted to try it. The bonus is it has a money back guarantee on the box! So I used it Monday, then Tuesday I didn't shower (grody, I know) and cleaned the ENTIRE house. When I went to bed I was still shower fresh. No funk. No joke.

What a Big Girl...

My sweet girl has learned to *pump* on the swings. She is so proud. This weekend big sis taught her how to bend and straighten her legs. It feels like such a rite of passage! My babies are growing up. The last real day of school is tomorrow and we are looking forward to the laid back days of summer.

Just a Peek

Here is a little peek at some of what I've been working on. Click the title to be taken to this auctions on ebay.

Best Friends

We live in a wonderful neighborhood. It's quiet, pretty, and we are so lucky that the kids have good friends to play with. K has her friend *A*. They are two peas in a pod. I love listening to their 4 year old banter. I can range from being explorers, to sharks, to playing house. When we were in Sweden last summer K could often be heard saying "I have to tell *A*....". When she gets hurt she wants to call him to tell him. These are a couple pictures of them today. They are playing house with their sick children. (a horse and a dolphin)

Mr. Sandman, Bring Me A Dream...

Oh my I am so tired. I am *nearly* caught up; Mother's Day orders kept me busy through last Friday. I am experiencing one of those times where my head is full of new ideas and I have this need to create. But unfortunately it's the end of school and we are so busy with life that I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm hoping tonight I'll sleep like a baby and awaken tomorrow ready for the day's challenges. :)

She'll Always Be Daddy's Girl

This sweet necklace is now available on ebay. Click the title to be taken to the auction. It features a sterling silver pendant, freshwater pearls and a vintage flower bead. They swing from a pink leather necklace.

SweetHeart Stamped Name Necklace

I am so excited to offer new stamped jewelry. I have this stamped heart necklace on ebay right now and I'm also offering the Faith stamped ring. The Shabby Rose Tank is available for purchase on my website.


Sometimes to get K to want to take photos I have to do a little give and take. Today the price was that she wanted to stage her own photo shoot of her favorite My Little Pony and dandelions. Sometimes when my babies do these things that are so uniquely "them", I feel so full of love that I could burst. I want to hide the memories in my heart so that when they are grown I can retrieve them. I smell their smells and try to lock them in my mind. Nuts, perhaps, but boy do I love them! :)
