Today was my first day back to work after vacation. Those Mondays are always the hardest!
Yesterday I uploaded all the videos from my trip to YouTube. Just need to update the description and write the blog post for them.
Joey started football today. He did really good in practice and I was so proud of him!!
Finished a couple more rows on the afghan I am crocheting. It is the 2nd in a collection of three I am doing for a friend.

In the last year I have been told what I should or shouldn’t write on Facebook. The last time was a big eye opener and a reminder that I not only love writing but I have something I need to write about!
This is my safe zone to say what I want. I will not be silenced nor will I stop writing what is on my heart to write. If you want to provide your thoughts, opinions, stories below, please feel free to.
***From today forward*** If you tell me to stop writing about a subject, please know I will write about you to the full extent of my abilities and the subject you are so scared of me writing about!
I look forward to my future adventures and hope you will stay and join me!!

I finished watching this series yesterday and was sad it ended. I was happy to see Billy Burke in some of the episodes. He was in my top 2 of favorite characters from twilight.
If you are looking for a show to watch I definitely recommend this one. If you already seen it and need another show to watch you can check out the other shows I have watched here.

This is the first year in many years I have not made a New Year’s Resolution. I am just going to start making monthly goals. Nothing to major and just to make sure I am accomplishing something.
January Goals
Hope everyone has a great New Years!!

How much should I make and bring to a craft show? I have searched this question a lot, have you? Also how much variety to bring etc etc etc. No one gives you the magic number!!! Found some that say 10xs the booth fee, enough to replace the items sold on your table (I am not a future teller (I wish)).
My friend asked me to do a craft booth on Oct. 6 at the Zombie Palooza. My half of the booth is $15. (If I don’t make the money back, it is ok because the money is going towards building a Veterans village to help them get back on their feet).
$15 x 10 = $150. That will be my initial goal of items to make and have available for sale. As for amount, I have set a limit of 15 of each item. I don’t want to be stuck with 50 items of something that wont sale. Is this going to be too much or too little. To be honest I have no idea! I feel this is a good starting point.
Now the work of getting these items made has begun. I also have to think about how to display them. I haven’t been to a craft fair in forever! I have never done one myself so it should be interesting.
I still have some of my dirt cheap items that I need to get rid of. So I am going to bring them a$nd have boxes of these items for $1 each or $.50 each with purchase of a craft item.

Here was my first attempt at a diaper cake. I really like how it turned out and definitely want to give another one a try some day.
I covered a B to use to take photos and go with the Photo back drop.
I was in charge of drinks so to go with the Safari theme I made Sea water.
One of my homemade gifts was closet organizers.

Prek Injustice
There was not enough time to fight for my son to be able to go back to school. It saddens me because school was so good for him. I am going to look on the bright side and now we are able to move sooner than expected (hopefully).
Baby Shower
This Saturday is my daughter’s Safari Baby Shower. I have been working hard on it and plan to make post about it. Since we are trying to keep the details secret until the big day I will work on those post next week. I can’t wait to share some of my creations with everyone.
October Halloween Fest
My friend and I plan on having a booth at the Halloween Fest in October. I started creating items for it. Since it will be my very first time trying to sell my crafts in public I am pretty excited/nervous about it. Of course all the research online I could not find anything about how much product or how many different types of products I should have, I will wing it. I will keep everyone updated on it.
Getting Caught Up
I know I have fell completely behind on reading other people’s post and I apologize for that! I will be starting today on trying to get caught up with as many blogs as I can. Looking forward to some inspiration!
