I've been a bit out of commision, sorry! My kids are huge... off the charts tall, and so therefore they are heavy. The dr. told me long ago that they are way to big and I need to quit carrying them. Well, I didn't listen, and I was carrying Daisy in from the car wrapped in a blanket, so she was dead weight (50+ lbs), and I dropped the keys to unlock the door, and bent down to get them and aye aye aye!! It was all bad from there! I'm feeling a lot better now, but I have to admit, I did sleep a lot those first few days because it hurt so bad! Does this lil face look like she would hurt her mamma? I don't think so!!
I had the BEST time when Nicole was here! We threw a little bbq for me and my husband because it was our birthdays, and I couldn't have done it without her! She helped me shop and get everything ready and decorate. I don't even have to tell her what I need... she is already doing it before I even ask for help. I'm very lucky to have a bff like her! We went to Cheesecake Factory for drinks and apps on Friday night and this is us being silly before we left. Then Sat was our party, and Sun she flew home! I miss her so much! Next year we are going to Vegas for her birthday... hopefully we will all still have jobs! LOL!
I made these cards for thank you cards for all my fabulous friends that came to my party. But I haven't mailed them out yet, so you just get to see this one which I'm adding to my etsy shop.
I also made these cute little journals for my etsy shop. They just have plain drawing paper inside them. They are Martha Stewart journals that Nicole sent me awhile back when she was cleaning out, and I just embelished them. (SEE! I told you I was lucky!)
I made this little bear with her little baby bear in a back pack too. I will add her to my etsy shop. (See, I haven't been doing NOTHING... I just haven't been able to post! LOL!)
And then this bear... never made it to my etsy shop, even tho I made him awhile back. I really like him. He's huge, and he's been brightening up my sewing room. But if he finds a new home, I'll be cool with that too :)
I will end now, because I am hoping that I really am feeling better, and this isn't just a fluke, so I hope to update a little more often. I need to take more pictures of the other stuff I've been doing too. (And I'm hoping to have a download available for Valentine's. If you are behind on your to do list like me, you can use it... but I'm sure most of you are already done with your children's valentines! LOL!)
Oh! One final note... Nei Nei is updating her blog now! My heart goes out to her and her family. The least I can do is read her blog and support her blog sponsers. She is a strong woman, and a fighter. It's very inspiring to read her up-beat and happy posts! Thanks Nei for the inspiration!

love your bears! I tried to make a bear with a bigger head and didnt like the way he turned out. I should post his picture.. but maybe I'll wait until I make one that turns out. Is the idea, shorter snout and wider gusset? I'll give it another shot soon!

Oh, I just LOVE that card! I've got a 4 year old with curly red hair here, and she thought it was a card made just for her lol! And those bears are just TDF ;o)
Happy belated birthday - I'm so glad you and Nicole got to spend some time together! Those long distance relationships are just HARD!
