A quiz...

A new baby and out of town company is wreaking havoc on my "normal" daily routine. I'm not complaining...just saying...Plus this one handed typing business makes for some slow going. (I'm nursing babes as I sit here)

Here's a quick quiz for you.


These coasters were shipped to Georgia on Saturday, December 13th via USPS Priority Mail.
This magnet was shipped to Germany on Monday, December 15th via USPS First Class Mail.
Which one got there first and by how many days?

I've got the itch again...

It's time for me to get off the couch and work back into the swing of life. I had some horrible cabin fever yesterday. Hubby looked at me and said "It's only been a week in a half!" Yeah, well watching him take off with the kids two days in a row to go sledding, having to cancel a dinner invite because he got called into work, etc. will do that do a lady.

Don't worry, I'll slowly ease into it again. We have company coming starting Thursday night thru next weekend. It'll be fun but first my house sure needs a good cleaning.

I'm also getting the itch to create something. I don't have a lot of time during the day anymore so maybe I'll start with some light switch covers. First I have to organize my craft corner so I'll actually have space to work....Details, details...

I'm eating my words...


Earlier this year, JB and I did up a bunch of quote magnets for a sale that we did. It was one of those sales that flopped. Anyway, she was telling me that I should list them in our Etsy shop. I wasn't thrilled about the idea because it seemed almost like a waste of time. I mean, who would want to buy them off Etsy anyway?!? Well I've been proven wrong! They're selling almost as fast as I list them. Everytime one sells, I have to eat my words! They are fun to do and it inspires me to make some more.

The days of stretched out shirt hems is upon us!

Last Wednesday our family was blessed with the birth of our beautiful healthy baby girl. The whole family just adores her!

This is the shirt she is wearing today since our night last night wasn't that great. My fault really. She loves to sleep in our bed and I'm ready for her to be in her own crib. Eventually she got her way and came back into our bed. At least we were able to get a few hours of shut eye.

Instead of spending my afternoons "playing" in my very humble workspace, I am now spending them horizontal between the sheets, happily snoozing with my baby. Hopefully in a few weeks, we'll be back on our feet trying to find time to "play".
