I'm so sad. My friend left for home today. We seriously had the funnest 10 days you could have asked for. Obviously there was no time to blog. LOL! I think of the 10 days Nicole was here, we went to Target like 6, and Walmart like 8. LOL! We were self indulgent and ate lots of cupcakes and candy and Mexican food. We stayed up super late every night and slept in every morning. We shopped, the kids shopped (we think we bought them a new toy almost everyday, small toys, like from the dollar bin... but STILL!), and we crafted. We probably could have accomplished more if we had been a little bit more scheduled, but I don't think we could have had a better time!!! And, Nicole did all my laundry. I love her. I'm terrible about laundry. I always forget about it and then have to re-wash it, or whatever, and then it gets to a point where I just spend one whole day getting it done. But Nicole kept it going all week, and now it's all done :)
Here's some pics from our week. (sorry there aren't a lot of them, but seriously, we were too busy having fun to bust out the cameras!) The first pic is the little pink dolls we made early in the week. The second is my dumb dog... he thinks he's a cat. He was our constant companion in the sewing room when the kids weren't busy playing "house" with him. The third is a pic of our super fun and cute journal/book covers we made. There are different sizes. We made some to fit composition books, some to fit spiral paper tablets, and some to fit BINDERS! I already put my Sacramento Craft Mafia binder in one (that's where we got the idea. Amy had one and we loved it, so we came home and made a bunch!) And then there's the aprons! HOw cute are those!!!! Nicole got those Martha Stewart dish towels, and thought we would make up some purses or something with them, then we came up with the apron idea and Nicole whipped them up while I was in the shower!
That's it for now... I'll have some more stuff we started finished later, and I'll post about that!
Wow that is some uber cute stuff!

Isn't it great to spend time with someone who's a kindred spirit? Especially a kindred spirit that does your laundry - it doesn't get any better than that! The things you girls made are adorable! And, so is your dog. If my wiener dogs could get up on the table like that, they would definitely do so! LOL!
