I have the hardest time keeping track of these boards! I swear!

So yea! Crafting is under way. Ran into a little snag with the execution on two things, one I'm ditching in favor of something else, the other I may call in some back up to get over the snafu!

:-)

Yay! I got my package from the lovely and talented lancmaltby yesterday.
But the stupid FedEx guy left it out in the rain! 
Luckily it was salvageable and only one minor part of the package couldn't be repaired.

Lots of pics now!!


Some REALLY cool vintage craft magazines. They got a little wet (stupidfedex) but after spending some time in the 90 degree heat and in front of a fan they dried out nicely. No real damage done luckily!


3 skiens of yarn in the most fun colors!! Gotta think of a really good project for them!

A ton of seeds for my garden. We talked alot about our gardens in PM. Unfortunatly my hubby never rotatilled the soil for me so mine never got started...:-( But there is always next year!

Stamps, sticker, and paper Oh my!


Jewlery stuff!! I love the long glass pendant so much I may change the dress I'm wearing to a wedding tonight just so I can wear it!


Stuff to organize my kitchen/my life! Recipe box, recipe cards, coupon envelope, magnets, weekly meal planning paper!

Pads of paper. One set has a notebook for Good Ideas and one for Crazy ideas!!! And the other is sticky notes that say "file this" "save this" "toss this" etc.


Some fabulous notecards! I LOVE these soo so much! I have to write alot of notes for my MOPS group so these will be wonderful!! I LOVE the fabric you used L~!
Unfortunately the envelopes didn't survive their soaking :-( But they can be replaced easily enough :-)
An ADORABLE little tote and picture frame. Though my two year old has claimed the tote as her purse and has been carrying it on her arm all day and stuffing htings in it. Last look it contained a bouncy ball, two rocks, a beaded necklace, and a small plastic figure. (Annie from Little Einsteins if any one else is forced to watch this show CONSTANTLY!)
PINK gardening gloves! So cool! And funny...since I sent her some gardening gloves too!


The purse! Oh my goodness the purse! I love love love love love it! Its my favorite purse EVER! EVER EVER EVER. And Pierce (my 5 month old) reallylikes to chew on the braided straps! Silly boy.


I'm not sure if its meant to be reversable but whne I flipped it to take a pic of hte lining I noticed it could be used either way..so yay to that!! I LOVE the fabric choices you made sweetie!


And last but not least..the little zipper pouch!!! So cute, and the perfect size for my chapstick collection!! :-)

Thank you thank you thank you thank you darling partner! Its all fabulous!

According to USPS my partner recieved her package on Sat....anxious to find out if she liked it!!!

And half tempted to post pics of it myself...! :-)

This is amazing! Your friend is going to love it!! I have a friend due in Oct. and she's doing a "Cow jumped over the moon" theme to her nursery, I wish I was as talented as you! She would DIE for that mobile! Lol....now i'm gonna have to show her just to tease her with what she's missing out on. She should make more talented friends in the future! :-) :-P

Oooooh
I LOVED my last "decorate my room" swap. I loved crafting for it, I loved the things I recieved....oh oh oh...
I had to send late on my last round of swaps due to my son being very ill (and he's only 4 months old!) I would hate to have to send late again, but his health is still very touch and go....hmmm...maybe I will hold out until the end of sign ups and see how he's doing then!

A HUGE thank you to Nickimac my partner! She has been fabulous and understanding. My son has been very sick and in the hospital so I ran late on sending to her..and now on posting pics! I have an action shot of hte apron from the day Pierce came home from the hospital and of course now that I'mat a computer realize I left my camera at home. damn the man! Anyway I LOVE everything, and that wheel meal planner thing is amazing. Though so far my hubby and I have been using it to make up strange variations. :-)

I have to apologize to my dear partner Dina as I received on Sat. and am just now getting around to posting pics!! We don't own a car right now, then my dear friend eloped and I went with her out of state to do so, then it was my dad's birthday and now..here I am!
And a second apology before I go on to the hundreds of pics I have!....my package was returned! I'm not 100% sure why, but I'm not using that stuipd automatic do it yourself package mailer thingy again! Going straight up the counter this time! Gr! So it will be on its way (again) today!

On to the pics!



marble magnets that spell the kids names and mine...lol hubby was jealous and has been making his name out of the letters..lol!

A FABULOUS picture frame that says Mary's family!

Jewelery box which contained....
BEADS!
More specifically a necklace with a K (for Serrison as she says!) and a bracelet that has her first and middle name on it (Kerrison Love) and then another bracelet. She is smitten and hasn't taken them off except when I make her for baths and bed!







Pierce's adorable pants!

M owl paper for Mama!
And.......the BIGGEST hit of the package...Dina it's FABULOUS!
The Kerrison Book!







Thank you Thank you Thank you Dina! We have one happy girl on our hands (and Mama and Baby)

Haven't settled on EXACTLY what to make yet, but I'm stalking and forming some ideas!
:-)

 
Working away.
I'm having a hard time with side dishes everything I think of seems more like snacks. And to be honest for our sides we usually just cook up some fresh veggies from MIL's garden (in season..and we're trying to grow our own this year!) or...zap some frozen veggies in the microwave.
And desserts, everything cheap and easy seems like a no brainer!
But entree's I have coming out the rear!! Lol..ok not literally..that was kind of a gross word choice.
How about, out the ears?!

I've got a few projects in the works, the supplies scattered around my house...its going fairly well!
