Hannah is Here!

Hannah Jolee was born July 5th 2008 at 4:58pm. It was super easy and I went home the next day. She weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces. Here are some pictures.

Paris Charms

I have been in Elma for a week or so and I got a chance to hang out with my crafty cousin. She had a great idea to get my daughter Paris to put her hand prints on shrink plastic so we can make charms out of her own handprints.....This is the picture of the end result....Paris thought it was so great mommy was getting ink all over her hands and I think she had a lot of fun. I am going to send two of the charms to her grandmas.

Only Two Months Left

I am due July 8th!!! I only have two months left....I am getting big and I feel great.....Gained a lil weight and the baby is super healthy......Paris still doesnt really know whats coming but we talk to her about it a lot and she loves my friends newborn babies........so cross our fingers it works out having two....HEHE.......Here is a pic of me recently....

Altered Book Class

I am taking a two part Altered Book Class and the first class was today.....The instructor was great and she had a lot of ideas...she gave us books to use for our project and she showed us materials we use in our everyday lives that are great for adding to our books...etc.....I have two ideas for books...I want to make one for Paris that is all about trucks and another all about sisters......these will be mostly display only books but i will let her see them often......I cant wait to make them......Here is a picture from the lecture today....Next week we get to make our books....

Paris is growing up beautifully!

She loves her sunglasses! Those ones are actually mine, she has her own......She can say a lot of things now and walks up to our 3rd floor apartment very nicely....Stairs used to be impossible. She is now 19 months old and will be 2 years old a month after the baby gets here....

Artchix Matchboxes

I used some artchix images and embellishments to decorate some matchboxes and I love them. I emailed them to Helga, who created Artchix Studio and she wants to post her favorites on the website next month. I was very honored! Here they are!

Fiber Festival!

I went to the Fiber Festival where my cousin Michelle was selling her handmade items and also had her espresso stand outside.....There were lots of vendors there selling fiber arts, jewelry, jams, quilts, candy, handmade soaps and other misc. I had fun and here are a few things I bought, it was great for christmas shoppin. There is a needle felted santa...very cute....Some charms...my cousin makes them....and found the most amazing Jelly there....At the festival I bought a small jar of garlic rosemary jelly...I was curious to see what it tasted like on chicken and bread....So I found out I am the best cook, not really the jelly just makes me look like I know what i am doing.....I love this jelly....So i emailed the seller and I bought these three jars!!!! I recommend buying these jellies for cooking......It makes your house smell so great and even though you are cooking with garlic, basil and rosemary....it still makes the chicken taste sweet and its very juicy!!!
