Despite the coldest winter in over 50 years...I am PERFECT. Next year's mission will be to reduce the number of hours I use the stand heater, although that is made more difficult by having to keep puppy warm while I am not home. All in all..cannot beat PERFECT.

Cowgirl

Just because HOW CUTE IS SHE! She did this pose all on her own, and picked out the outfit herself too....we should all be worried!

Mustaches are AWESOME

These are in right now and I saw the cutest post on using porcelain paint on mugs. Pretty much paint, wait 24 hours and then bake them in the oven and you have the most AWESOME mug EVER! I know you all want one!
Jadan's teacher and our babysitter Twylla will be getting one for Valentines day with some coasters I make on plain bathroom tile, paper and mod podge....I know you can't wait to see those :)

Babycake

We went to my nieces 15th birthday party the other night, she had asked for $ to by an Ipad, but Auntie April for 1) doesn't like to give cash 2) why does a 15 year old need an Ipad?! so instead we bought her an i-tunes gift card.....when we got to the party I realized I hadn't bought a card or anything for it to go in and I don't think gift cards are that cool and wanted something cute....so I had made some zipper pouches the week before (PROUD?) and had one in my purse so I took my stuff out of it and slipped her gift card inside. Now mind you my niece is not really a girly girl, high school freshman who plays varsity soccer, on the Black Hills community team and another one that she travels all over with....she got cash from everyone else including a $100 bill from Grandma and she FREAKED out about the pouch! She was going around showing everybody "look what my aunt April made me!" So.....who would have known that my sister Wendy who owns the craft shop told me that I pretty much have no choice but I will be selling them at her craft shows!! WHAT! I was actually going to ask if I could but didn't want to be rude, or butt in on her thing, but now it looks like my crafts won't just be excess around the house...but selling merchandise!

Got Crafty for the Husband

If you ask the men around this house I have crafts ALL over the place and nothing seems to go untouched :) Including Randy's camera strap. This are the hit around the crafting blog world and I had to try one out! I thought is was nice that I choose manly fabric at least....the one I wanted to make has ruffles down the middle, so I will have to make that for a girlfriend of mine instead....

Poor Spiderman

So like all of you know.....last Monday as this mom of three with 3 weeks lift till I go back to work got a lovely phone call from Jadan's school explaining that a few boys were shoving each other which led to Jadan getting knocked over hitting his head on the rough school walls or cement....they said they were observing him for a concussion but thought he was okay and would call me if things changed. I decided, knowing my little sensitive man, that I would just walk over there really quick and make sure.....but instead I got a screaming princess yelling "spiderman is in my nose!" WHAT!! I was so confused to I went to the other room where she had been playing and sure enough spiderman was missing a hand. She kept changing her story, not in her nose, in her nose, I couldn't see it but I could tell she sounded stuffy. I called the pediatrician and they had me rush there. Sure enough they could see the hand, with 5 nurses including me pinning her down, with HUGE tweezers coming at her and a light Ella was SCREAMING bloody murder! Our doctor seemed nervous and then once the nose started bleeding all over the place she said she couldn't do it. NICE! Luckily while I was on the way to the doctor I had called Randy and told him about the kids and his boss had him leave so he was able to meet us at the other doctor who had to numb her nose and they with one little grab got it.....I have never had either of the kids stick things in places and I don't think miss Ella will EVER go though that again :)
