Some Things I Made.....

Here are a few of the things I made this weekend....if your interested in anything email me or go to http://www.bundleofjoydesigns.blogspot.com/ (it might be a few days before everything is up on the blog or in the store)

Pacifier Clips

I know its a little blurry....I think I need some new pictures of these.

DSLR Camera Strap

Monogrammed Receiving Blankets

Bib and Burp Cloth Set

The Picture is BAD I know but it has her name on the butt....I love it!

That's all for now but I will let you know when something new comes along...I have a ton planned. :)

6 Months.....

SO, I haven't blogged in about 6 months.....bad blogger!  I stopped for a minute because I had some news that I was trying to keep kinda on the hush hush and I don't do such a good job of that but once I took a break that break just kept going. I think once you get out of the habit of making time to write out your thoughts it becomes harder to find the time.

However, I AM BACK! I can also share the hush hush news....(most everyone knows) but we are going to have a baby.....a girl to be exact. Taylor Elyssa to be more exact sometime in the begining to the middle of October.

So much has gone on in the last six months that its way to much to put all in one post but I am sure that over time it will all come out :)

The short list
* We moved! Well we moved until next summer when we will most likely move again.
* I can sew! This was a huge shock to me as well.
* We have finished a baby nursery....early I know but I am a little OCD when it comes to being prepared...lol
* I still spend my days chasing two insane dogs...only now I toss in some sewing and embroidery too.

Thats about it for now....

Thankful Thursday.....

This week I have special things to be thankful for…..


SUNSHINE! –oh yes I am thankful for sunshine…especially when we have seen a month of rain and snow

Blackberry Messenger- I know not something you would usually expect to see on a thankful list but it works wonders when your phone service is going in and out and you are lost. (yes that happened to us this week) Or for B when your husband is on the other side of the country I mean world and it becomes your only way of communication for awhile.

Last but defiantly not least….I am thankful for the friends that you can go months without a single verbal conversation (thanks to facebook we have stayed in touch) but when I called her this week she jumped through a hoop for me. You can’t ask for better.

I have so much more to be thankful for but I have to save some for next week. Plus it is late and we are on a mini vacation so it’s time to get to relaxing.

Thankful Thursday

Sorry I missed last week...I was trying to wait until my husband (the really awesome graphic designer) to make me a Thankful Thursday icon. But since that is taking so long it looks like we will just have to about this the plain way for a while.

I am thankful for my new camera that all of you are going to be sooooo verrrrry sick of when I start posting pictures everyday....

I am thankful for a truck that will drive in the snow, other wise I would have be home bound for the last month.

I am thankful for my blackberry...I know you all think I am nuts but I ran 12 hours worth of errands yesterday and if it weren't for that little device I don't think I would have made it.


I promise these posts will get more colorful and pretty.....VERY SOON!

News and Happenings.....

It's almost February!!!! I can't believe that time is moving so fast.....WOW!


We have also seen more snow at one time this weekend than in the at least 10 years...I will get some pics on here soon.

There isn't really much going on (besides watching the Grammy's by the way I love Bon Jovi!) We are planning our vacation to Jacksonville, FL the first week of March. If someone can explain to me why a collage would schedule spring break before it was warm anywhere in the Continental United States, I would love to know. None the less we are hoping that it will warm enough to be on the beach and if we get to wear swim suits...well it’s just a bonus. We chose Jacksonville because of a hotel that we stayed in when we were in Charleston, SC. Aloft Hotel, it was awesome and they allow pets. We like to take our dogs with us on vacation. I can't stand the thought of leaving them in a kennel where they only get out to potty....if that.

I am leaving the hubby on Tuesday to go with L to Mississippi to pop in on a friend that is visiting there and maybe to do a little baby sitting for the G man. I am looking forward to the trip and some girl time with L in the car. I love road trips.....don't worry I will miss J.


We haven't found a house just yet but a few more went on the market this weekend so we will take a peek at those and see what we come up with.

As of yet I have not participated in any of the weekly blogs....but I am going to start Thankful Thursdays. I think it will be a good way to keep a positive attitude. So be looking for it, and if you don't find it feel free to email me and fuss....lol

Moving....

We're moving on up....well maybe. :)


We have decided to buy a house. This is something that has always scared the crap out of me...and I thought that if I were married it would be a little easier. WRONG! After I spent the entire morning on the phone with mortgage brokers (and by the way I am going to talk to a few more) I was spent....It makes me very nervous. Maybe it is because I know that I will be "stuck" so to speak.

We haven't really "found" a house yet. I want to get the financials in order first, that will keep me from getting my hopes up about a house and then us not being able to get it and me getting all disappointed.

I did see a house on realtracs that I like and its at an awesome price so have a call in to go see it. I am hoping it will work out all perfect and that will be the house and the paperwork will all go through super easy but really I am so not holding my breath.

We do have a few things that are most important:
~ a back yard (we want it fenced in but I am not opposed to do that after we move)
~ a separate bath and shower in the master
~ a nice kitchen....cabinets are important people
~ a two car garage (for me...lol my truck is big)
~ I am paying attention to school districts too, I know we don't have kids but I would like to live in this house for 10 years or so and by then we might have kids in school (cross your fingers)
~ must have a formal dining room
~ 3 bedrooms and a min. of 2 full baths

We do love the house we are in most of the time but:
~we can't fence in the yard
~ mold in the summer
~ frozen pipes in the winter
~ my electric bills are STUPID high

I will miss this house, I have worked so hard decorating it....but I will enjoy doing it again I am sure.
