    Ha! Got you to look! Yes, this is the hubby's "other woman". He named her Kitty, but she looks more like a Canary! LOLOL

"Cutes!"

    In this album you will find a selection of dolls that were handmade by me over the past year. I call them "Cutes!" because when my son was about 2 years old...that is what he called them!

April Annie Give-Away

Gosh!!! Finally! And I say that because I couldn't get online last night after school or this morning! I was starting to freak out! I know I promised ya'll that I would post my doll give-away on Wednesday night...but I couldn't help it...it was out of my hands! Darn Verizon!

So....here she is.....in honor of my son's 11th Birthday...just like last year....I am doing a give-away!

All you have to do to win this lil 11" cutie is leave me a comment telling me you want her!!! No fancy tricks..just a lil comment! Make me feel LOVED! LOL

Can you believe I am still alive after the sleepover? It was fun and crazy! I sent the hubby packing LOLOL I told him that he shouldn't stay here.....he had to work the next day and if he wanted any sleep he better find another place to sleep! So he did. I went to bed about 10:30 ish....and I heard lots of wild and crazy things going on...but no one came to me with any emergencies...so I just let them have fun! I think the BEST part of it was the very beginning when I picked them all up from school!!!!

I had a van FULL of kids! And they were blarring the music very loud and they were all singing! So cute! Don't worry...they all had seatbelts on...even though this pictures looks like they don't.....I took this picture right when we got home...I had totally forgot my camera...so pulled up to the house..told them all to stay put..that I would be right back!!! LOLOL Right when we got home...the Ice Cream man was coming around...and Christopher had some birthday money....so he bought everyone an ice cream. Very sweet of him!

We played a cute game of where you hide a piece of bubble gum in a plate of whip cream. I thought it would be hard for them to find the gum...but they were very quick...but....did have struggles getting the gum chewed and blown into a bubble (which was the object of the game). This is the cutest picture!!!!

But.....silly me..what was I thinking? It never even crossed my mind that when the game was over that they would shove the plates into each others faces!!!!! Silly me!

After I went to bed.....I did get up several times and check on them....half of them were asleep when I woke up at 3am. (ignore the mess)

2 were still awake when I got back up at 5:30am!!!! And one of them had to get up and leave by 7:30!!!! I woke up again at 6am and I was going to make him go to sleep...and get atleast an hour of sleep...but both were asleep this time!

I made them pancakes in the morning....started cleaning up....rolling up their sleeping bags...parents started picking up around 10ish...and I had the house clean by noon! And I still had the rest of the weekend since I did this on Friday night! GREAT decision!!!!

I finished up MOST of my orders...and they are in the mail...only a couple more (plus some new ones) and I did even put a couple of dolls on my website!

Have a great day everyone!

Emotion_christopher_skate_shop

The party is Friday night! 12 boys coming over to spend the night! Why do I do this to myself I have no idea! But I figured get it over on Friday night...which is his actual birthday, then they leave in the morning and I still have all weekend...to work on your orders!!!!! I have been working all week on them, getting sidetracked by life.....and I fully intended to have all my orders out in todays mail...well that didn't actually work! Tomorrow is not looking good either! I still have to clean up the house tonight! But they are almost done....I mean..really close to almost done! But I just don't think I can swing it! I forced myself to bed last night when my eyes were draggin as I was stitching faces!

Last year, we did a give-away on his birthday...and well not being very organized this year....my give-away isn't quite ready.....so next week....we'll do it! She should be ready by then..ooopsss...did I say she? That kinda gives it away huh?

So wish me luck on Friday night....12 pre-teen boys here. Is 11 preteen? heck..what do I know. They are acting like teenagers these days! I have some pretty cool fun games lined up...and well....they mostly wanna play xbox and eat junk food! I'm sure they'll be up MOST of the night!

I'll check in afterwards!!!!

Sleeping in is so nice.....

Yes...I've been sleeping in ALL week and it's been so nice! We are on Spring Break...silly I know...seems funny that Easter has come and gone and we are just now getting our Spring Break. We haven't really done anything because we have baseball practice and games! We had our first game on Tuesday night and they won! Great way to start out the season!

I just finised up some dolls and have added them to my website.

This will make you laugh!

Yes...indeed it will! It's funny! I look funny! I was working on some photography homework and our subject this week is "kitsch". So this is my take on it! And I look so beautiful....NOT!

Since I didn't really want to use my picture in my class.....I'm sorta shy and didn't really want my ugly mugg plastered on the HUGE screen in front of all my peers.....so...I talked my friend Vanessa into coming over and modeling for me...and OMG!!! I love the way hers turned out! As I was applying her mask....I warned her that it might "burn a little" at first.....and she's all "GREAT...now you tell me"! I was laughing so hard I had tears running down my face! Thanks V for helping me out! I hope it's a WINNER!
