It only took a year ....

 Remember last year when I got a serious craft bug and did this post about all the V-day crafts I was going to do.  Well, I only ended up doing 2 of them.  Well actually, it was more like 1.9.

After finishing pretty much ALL of this cute little "Countdown to Kisses" board last January I let it sit in my extra room until last night.  Seriously, all I'll had left to do was Mod Podge it all on.  Ridiculous, right.  O-well, at least it is done now.



I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.  I ended up re-cutting all the letters because I decided to do off-white instead of pure white.  You cant tell in the pictures, but the word KISSES is made up of paper that says "I love you" over and over again.

I got this idea from a blog called Infarrantly Creative.  She has a great tutorial on how to do it.  You can find that by clicking here.



I added those little lip kisses (they kind of look like hearts on the picture though) as a last minute touch.  I couldn't get the spacing of the letters quite right and they were a good space filler. I am so glad I thought to add them.  It is obviously not perfect.  P decided not to take a nap today and was being my little "helper" which basically means I was using all my attention to have him "help" without messing it up.  A few things are a little slanted and my OCD really wants to fix them, but guess what.  It is done and  I still love it!

The only tricky part now is convincing the kids that my kisses are a sufficient treat so I can have the chocolate all to myself.  

Happy Crafting!

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

By
So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
