Something for my mom!


I have been working hard at getting some things done for my mother. She was always the queen of crafts but with her intense job and her love of having a house full of animals she doesnt quite have the time for crafting much. So I made her a grandma bracelet. It has her nickname "Gammi" in the middle with her birthstone color in crystals and then has the kids' birthstone colors in crystals surrounding their first initial. I think it came out really pretty since she is a huge fan of gold. I am not much for gold so I snuck in some sterling silver to not only match the letter beads but to also quench my lust for all things silver and shiny. I hope she loves it.

Trick or Treat, Smell my feet, Give me something good to eat!


Mr. K had the best time Trick or Treating last night! Last year he was almost a year old and I don't think he quite understood the fun of Halloween. This year was a totally different story! The minute he came home his first words were " Ma! MMMMMMMMM." In other words, "MOM, YUM!" LOL! We dressed him as a dragon which is hard to see from the picture but he had the cutest wings and a horn on the top of his head! Teehee!
I stayed home with G(who I called Mr. Bones all night due to his "bones" onesie) since it was freaking cold here. The little G man is only 4 weeks old so far (can you believe it? Time FLIES!!!) and I decided that he was far too young for the cold weather we have been getting.
What a fun night! I can't wait until next year to do it again! Now I am looking forward to Thanksgiving!

The Big Election!!!


I dont have much to say except...GO Obama! :)

Slow Rolling...


So I realize that my posts have been reeeeaaaalllllyyyy slow lately. That is what happens when you have two kids. LOL! Anyway, I finally decided to make something that was solely for ME and something I wanted. I made a mommy bracelet with my boys' names on it. Yes, I am revealing their names...I know, I know...it IS quite bold but I figured that most who read this blog know me and the kids anyway. I used hematite gemstone beads, swarovski crystals (in their birthstone colors) and sterling silver letter beads and clasp. It fits perfectly and I was already asked to make one for this really nice lady who works at my local Michaels! WOOT!
