Well I haven't posted in a while, mainly because I've been lazy but partly because I was taking an "at home vacation" at least that's what my mother called it. Anyways, this is what I spent the better part of almost 3 weeks working on at the end of August, beginning of September. I canned tomatoes, peaches, pears, bread and butter pickles, salsa (hot and mild), and green beans. I still have to can the beets that came out of my garden but I'm really not wanting to. I love looking at all of my hard work just sitting there waiting to nourish my family!! Felicity getting in on the picture. I had to take a picture of my dill pickles as well even though I did them last year.

I've actually started doing some crafting. I've been sewing and every day I find more and more things that I want to do to create a wonderful house. I actually just made some chore charts for the girls. They are beautiful and I love them. To some of you, they might seem juvenile crafting but for me they are hard core/intense. Any ways, I'll post some pictures in a few days. I'm really loving fall right now.

Well it's another new year and the girls were so excited for school this year! Rayann started Grade 1 and she is just loving it. Aurora is in grade 3 and getting along in class just fine! Give me a Vogue pose! and this is what I got. Felicity wanted to be in the picture as well . Rayann wanted a beauty picture under the tree. This is what we got. I can't believe that my girls are getting so big. It just seems like yesterday..... well you know the rest. Another year is well under way .

The Cake Pops! The Favor Boxes Food Labels The Dessert Table Salad labels This is the view of the yard. I should have taken a better picture of the tissue paper pompoms. I have to admit that we had a blast and all the guests were glad that we threw the party.

So I have been sucked into the world of Pinterest..... and it has been eating away some of my time. *Slap on the wrist* That being said I have finished all of the custom orders for this week and now I can focus on my up coming Block Party that we have planned for the 26th of August. I AM SO EXCITED! I have so many great ideas and I can't wait to bring them all together and see how they work. I will post pictures once I have set up for the party! I also have some very wonderful ideas for some little decorations things for my house. So stay tuned!

So I've never taken the time to have a serious taste or design to my home because I was always renting. (No point in trying to decorate when you can't hang anything or paint anything) But now that I own my own house I can paint or decorate or hang things and it doesn't matter, because it's mine and I can do whatever I want!!! So now I'm at a total loss because I have no ideas of what I like or what I want my house to fell like or any of that..... What am I going to do?!

Here he is, in all his glory. What a little cutie! Amazing!!
