My Birthday

My birthday was this past Monday.

One of the main things I asked for was to just spend time with the fam, and we did!

We woke up with doughnuts!

We sold our car.

We went to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants,

but discovered I think I like it better as a date night.

After dinner we opened gifts. I got a griddle/grill pan, new skillet and a new workout shirt.

Cole and the kids did great with the gifts!

Thanks for celebrating me!

tea towels

I have a large stack of kitchen towels that have still been in the packages since I got married. No, I didn't just get married. I have been married for 6 1/2 years!!!! So I decided I wanted to jazz them up a bit and some of you might be getting these as Christmas gifts:) The problem with flour sack towels is they are not even. So when I fold them you can see all of the edges from the other layers.

Open Ended Art-Mosaics:Egg Shells

Finally, my LO's egg mosaics are up!!! Sorry it took so long. Don't you love the mermaid? The second one she really didn't use enough glue so the egg shells are not really stuck on the sheet. Oh, well! Look at some more great creative minds at work!

Grandparent gift

What do you give to Grandparents that pretty much have everything? Well, I am always trying to give them something unique and from my kiddos. Their grandfather loves coffee!!!!! So I had Chloe design some one of a kind coffee cup holders. We bought some cups and a bag of his favorite blend and there you go a unique gift!!!!

Open Ended Art-Mosaics

This is our next project, egg shells!

We didn't quite get around to open ended art last week. I was planning on doing a lid mosaic. So here it is. She wanted to add some drawing to her artwork. Get involved with Open Ended Art by going here.

edible crayons

I have been on a blogging break I guess??? We went out of town and then my little boy was sick, so I am finally uploading some pics! I made these edible crayons from here for my daughter to take for her snack day at school. They are not perfect by any means, but still fun!

Open Ended Art-Mosaics-beans

This on is my fave-she made the moon!

Today for open ended art my girly girl got to have fun with glue and beans. I gave her the suggestion of drawing a shape first and then filling it in with beans. She did a great job! I had some trouble getting the new button so to see some other great art projects go here.
