Finally getting around to posting some pics of my new designs. I just placed these on the onesie to give everyone an idea of what they would look like.

Sorry tilt your head for this one... :)

Something new to try....Red Flower Hairpins.
Sorry not much read tonight....We are "back to school" in the morning. Andrew is so excited!!!! He has been counting down the days.

Look back later this week for a "Special Announcement". Hint....It has something to do with a button on my sidebar.

Something new for the kids

I have always wanted to venture into the sewing side of being crafty, until I find a place to take sewing classes I will stick to this..ha ha

As I was looking on ETSY last week I decide to take a stab at this....and I love it... so here it is......

This is my first iron on applique....Groovy Striped Car. I made this for Carson and he loves it!! Andrew wanted something also so I made him something different...the problem is finding a shirt to put his on. Whenever I find a shirt I will post a picture....a little hint....it has to do with Halloween.

I will post more pics later of the other designs I made this weekend. I hope everyone had a great weekend!!

GET YOUR TICKETS

What a week...We started out the week attending our local fair on Monday night to see my cousin Erin in a pageant.

I can't believe she is 14....where did the time go? Anyways, I was very proud of her and I thought she looked very pretty. Actually I believe she did better in this pageant than she has done in any before. Needless to say with 2 kids when didn't stay long at the pageant area.....we were off to ride the amusement rides....YEAH. But before we made it to the ticket booth Andrew was picked up by his big girlfriend..."Big Lydia", so we had to make a picture.

Jessica, Andrew & Lydia

After the photo session we made are way to the "FUN". This was the 1st time for Carson to ride anything at the fair. He loved it!!!!

Here are a few more pics from the fair.....

The next morning we headed out to Pigeon Forge, TN. Chris had a meeting at the "Wilderness

at the Smokies" Resort. Yeah for us....this resort is awesome. A huge indoor water park with a kiddie area, wave pool, surfing area and a awesome outdoor area with a lazy river plus from what I hear awesome slides. We didn't even make it to the outdoor area which was contected to the indoor. Here are some pics...

This is the indoor area

This is the outdoor area of our hotel

Andrew loved the slide....this was his 1st time....

We even took in the arcade at the resort...

All good things must come to an end...

And this is what they did on the way home....

Planning Early So I Won't Stress Later

I realize today is July 15th....4 months and 1 day from my youngest sons 2nd birthday and 5 months and 1 day from oldest sons 5th birthday. Did I just say 5th birthday?!? Where did the time go?

So I have decided to start planning their birthday parties now...you see I will also be planning a baby shower for my Sister In Law (FiDesigns) that will be somewhere in this same time frame. Now you know why I titled this blog "Planning Early So I Won't Stress Later". So in preparation for the parties, I have been doing some looking.

I have decided to a "Monkey" theme for my little monkey's 2nd Birthday. Here is where I am having some problems with the decision making process. I have found 2 Monkey theme party gear I like.... I can't decide which color to go with. So I need some input....any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Here are the Monkey Party Supplies:

Red & Yellow

Turq., Yellow & Brown

I really like both of them. I am still working on the big boys theme...as soon as I find what I like I will post pictures. Also, if you have any food, game or gift bag ideas send them my way. Back to looking.
