Become My 100th Follower and Have Your Shop Featured Here!

I am having a little contest. If you have a online shop where you sell your handmade goods and you become my 100th follower (I'm at 97!!), I will feature your shop here next week!

All you need to do is to follow my blog and leave me a comment here. This contest will be open until my 100th crafty follower signs up. If my 100th follower happens to not be a handmade seller then they will just get a hug!

Anyone game?

Obssessed!

Okay ~ I am now having a Betsey Johnson and a Polly Pocket obssession! I can't help it but it needs to stop! I have been on and off of Ebay for the last two days looking at Betsey Johnson bags and Polly Pocket stuff.

Right now I am trying to hold back on bidding on these~

Large Straw bag


Polly Pocket Hacienda WITH animals! Like we need this!

Polly Pocket plane, house AND roller coaster!

WOW!

Autumn does need some more toys now that she's home for the summer, but I don't need that bag.

Hopefully today will be a beachy day. Autumn has been wanting to go swimming but it just hasn't been the right weather. If this mornings sun stays out long enough I think we'll be able to. And that way I'll be away from this computer and Ebay!

Have a Great Saturday!!

Mega Update!

Hi Everyone! I've been having blog withdrawals since I've been away of vacation, but I am finally able to get my fix! I have many photos to share as well.

As you know we went camping at the ocean in the rain. The first day was partly sunny and we were able to go down to the beach, but after that it was rainy and windy each and every day. I was a bit discouraged and didn't take many photos of this trip, but here are some of the better ones which include new baby photos, and Keith's birthday photos.

On Monday June 22 Cathy and Jonathan's new baby girl arrived! This certainly cheered things up a bit! Her name is Madelyn Carol and she weighed 9lbs. and is VERY CUTE!!

Our annual visit to Brown's with Keith for his birthday for lobster.

We arrived home on Wednesday due to the weather, and I have been going crazy catching up on laundry, and helping Taryne get ready for her 8th grade semi-formal which was last night. For me this was the most exciting part of the past week.

Taryne was FINALLY able to unveil her Betsey Johnson dress! I began taking photos from the moment she had her hair done until the moment she went into the dance. At that point she was telling me I should leave. Later she'll be happy that I got all these photos!






The finished updo!


Our wonderful hair stylist Nina!


Makeup which came out FANTASTIC!


And here is the lovely creation of a dress! Unfortunately my photos don't capture the SPARKLE the dress gives off. It looks much more glittery and fluffy in person.

Ok so this update was a bit large, but now I am all caught up!
Happy Friday All!
