Iowa here I come!

So I just mailed this huge package off to Iowa to a children's store. It is brand new and it is having it's grand opening the last weekend in May. But for Mother's Day weekend there was a bazaar so I had to get my stuff there for this weekend. My mom and I have worked our butts off to get everything made and together. Check out her blog about Daisy Jane Boutique: http://www.daisyjaneboutique.blogspot.com/ to learn more about her store.


Here are some of the things that I sent to Sara. I will add more photos.















Anyways, I am so excited to be selling in another state! YIPEE!


Off to enjoy mother's day!

A CRAZY MONTH!

"Look Mom, I'm a Duck!"

May is a big month for my family!

So we went to San Antonio last weekend to celebrate all the May Birthdays. Edwin turned 4 on the 10th and Ellie will turn 2 on the 20th. I turn the BIG 3-0 on the 18th! Plus you throw in Mother's Day and it is a busy month for the family!

We stayed in a nice hill country resort with a cool maze of a pool and was right next to Sea World, which the kids were scared of Shamu. Ellie tried to hide from him when it came to the splashing. Anyways, the resort has a field of beautiful wildflowers that Texas is known for! I took some photos!

The last day we were in San Antonio we stopped by the zoo, which turned out to be really nice. Here are the kids playing around with cutout ducks! They loved it and Edwin took a ton of photos so we shall see how they turn out! He has a very interesting perspecitve!

Someone Blogged Me!

It is always so exciting when you get compliments on your work and even better when they blog about you! One of my Etsy customers, Elizabeth, purchased 7 heart charms to make into wine charm markers for her brother's wedding. She was making them for the members of the wedding party. So here is the link and you can read all about it!
