Hello!

Long time no blog!  :)  Sorry about that!  But thanks for letting me catch my breath.  Cause that's kinda what I was doing.  Life got a little tricky the closer to Christmas we got.  But more on that later.

Kids went back to school last Tuesday.  Everyday I kept saying, today I will blog.  But then I didn't.  I played, or went to Target, or caught up laundry, or just general laziness.

So then I said the next week, I'll really make an effort to get back to the blog.  After all I do have some tutorials, some sewing and crafts to share.  But then the southern blizzard came.  In our yard, we got 5-6" but some areas got up to 10".  That's huge for us in Alabama!  My neighbor said he hadn't seen this much snow in the 26 years he's lived here.  So today is day #3 of being out of school.  And in my true form, I make everything an event.  So I've had neighbors over for chili, made lots of snow cream and hot chocolate and hosted  a movie event for neighbor kids with snow cream and lots and lots of popcorn.  I have also spent significant time outside with the kids building multiple snowmen and snow forts.  We've had the time of our lives.

But today I've suited up the kids, sent them outside and I'm catching up on laundry.  Sneaking a little coffee 'break' and trying to post with littlest  Miss Chatterbox here beside me.  :)

More to come.....

Colorful Preparations

Full on party prep going on here with my fav party of the year coming up for my upcoming 7 year old!  

I'm not sure which of us is excited more!

Did you know that unicorn, at least nice simple girly girl unicorn party stuff is pretty scarce?  

This is supposed to be a unicorn themed party (as requested by K) with rainbow color scheme/accents.  But I admit this is turning into a rainbow party with a few unicorns invited.  lol 

Color, color, color, oh how I live for color!  ;)

All the details coming up on Mon.

Now a little blog business.  First, my hubby showed me why my blog is loading sooooo slow.  So hopefully I got that squared up so that from here on out hopefully it will get better.

Second, after deliberating for a while, I decided to do a fan page on facebook.  If you'd like to join my page then you can click on my facebook box over there on the left.  If you do come over, please share your website/blog link.    And please feel free to share any pics of crafts you make from my tutorials or anything else I talk about.  Share any mommy tips or recipes.  :)

Oh, and I SORELY need a new pic.  This one is from '08 and my hair is much longer (though will prob cut it shorter again this fall).  I am seriously not in any pics ever...well except for a few shots my hubby took of me playing with the kids in the ocean at the beach, but you won't catch me putting those photos up!!!

Anyway hope to see some of you guys over there!
