One crafty weekend a success!






Jada & I had a little crafty weekend planned. It was a huge success. The girls decorated American girl doll size tee's, pumkins & pictures. The martha stewart line stamps, stickers ect. I bought were a huge hit. We also made cookies thanks to my friend Kristin who also brought over a nice little Halloween style chex mix. We had a blast.
Jake & Jada went to the Brewers game Sunday..which by the way they won and now are in the play offs! Yay! So Max and I had our own crafty day which was spent running to the craft store.. they just opened a Michaels in Appleton and I LOOOOVE IT!!! then we went out to lunch.. and a quick stop by U BAKE for some pumpkin cookies for him to decorate! We ended the day with a little game of kick ball! :) Man am I out of shape!
After such a great weekend my Monday is off to a rough start! Our dog Buster had a seizure (he has always had them, but far & few now they are getting worse!)
I also got the kids to school just as the bell rang & Jake is working in Madison for the next 3 weeks! I am feeling a little frustrated!
On a better note~ I have lots to tell you about our month long celebration.. our shop turns 1 on wed.!

Have a great day!

Organic make-up......

I have been having skin issues ever since my son was born... I am told hormones gone wild! ugggh! I was told by a Dr. once the best thing is less is more & the more natural the better. Lucky for me I have a soap making aromatherapy knowledged friend/bus. partner & just using natural Sweet Usoapia brands have helped sooo much. The thing I struggle with most is make-up. I wear very little because I have allergies (The hayfever type) and rub my eyes ect.. so No eye make-up or lipstick ect. I was using some sort of Mineral make-up and was not loving it...but I need something cause my skin gets really red.. long story short I ran out (and remembered at about 11:00 pm) and forgot to get more. A late night run to Walgreens ended up with a fabulous purchase of a organic wear bronzer (just a tad of color) & powder in earth friendly packaging! It was also affordable! So far I love it & just found the website to pass a long! Here ya go... Check it out!

Have a great weekend! :)

I just ordered a new banner for my etsy shop & this here blog, and hopefully my website(I have so many problems getting them to work on my site)

My business is 4 years old! I can hardly believe it! Thanks to all of you who make it possible by purchasing my handmade wares! :)*Thank you!* I appreciate all of you more than you can possibly know!

I will be at the Appleton farmers market tomorrow for my last Saturday of vending! I will have all new skirts with me!
