it's just me :)

i've missed ya.
been sooooo busy
but lovin every minute.
here's me...:)



i got a hair cut...a little shorter than i initially wanted, but thought it was ok.
until i got home.
and my (7 yr old) son greeted me by saying, "well, hello, kate gosselin."
AAAACK!
thanks alot, kiddo.
ya know, i think kate is cool, but come on. who really wants to hear that their hair resembles hers? ick. not me.

SOOOOOOO much going on in my life.
i know my poor little shop is suffering but it just seems like everything is in fast forward sometimes, know what i mean?
i got a job...

and here's the deal...

- leave a comment telling me what you are happy crafting right now. (don't judge me for using my 5 yr old's grammar skills)
- THAT'S IT!
no jumping thru hoops for this giveaway ;)
but of course if you buy something from the shop you might just find a bunch of chocolate stuffed in your package. just cuz. :) i had to (and i mean had to) get the HUGE 5 lb bag of assorted chocolates the other day while at walmart. hey, something had to make it worth going there. ;)

i heart homework.

i have to sign each page of the kids' homework and when i was going over it tonight i got one of those *warm fuzzy mommy moments*.



in case you can't make it out (what's wrong with you?! you can't make out my son's perfect handwriting? ;), it says...

my mom is nice to me. and my mom cooks for me. she makes macroney and chees. i like her smile.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

{insert warm fuzzy moment}

glory and grime.

How shall I pray?

Are tears prayers, Lord?

Are screams prayer, or groans, or sighs, or curses?

Can trembling hands be lifted to you, or clenched fists,

Or the cold sweat that trickles down my back,

Or the cramps that knot in my stomach?

Will you accept my prayers, Lord, my real prayers

Rooted in the muck and mud and rock of my life,

And not just the pretty, cut-flower, gracefully arranged

Bouquet of words?

Will you accept me, Lord, as I really am,

Messed up mixture of glory and grime?
