Featuring My Favorites Friday is Back!!!

Hi Guys I am back, I have been so busy with all that is 2 jobs, and being a mom on top of that, that I honestly needed a break... So for about a month I just simplified my life... took days off to just play with my babies... I feel much more refreshed and ready to come back... I was looking around and found these WONDERFUL ideas... I actually had a dream I was making the Love wreath.... HMMM... I think my crafting Mojo is back!!! Thanks for hanging in there. February marks one year on the blog so I am thinking a Giveaway.

Featuring My Favorites Friday

So on fridays I list all my favorite items that I have come across in the week.

This friday is different....

Today I want you all to take 5 minutes.... and read this post from Amy at New Nostalgia. Amy is a wonderful woman, mother, wife (and really has a great blog too)... she is also fighting Cancer.


She is just a few years older than me, (and I am in my 20's) and she found a lump.

I am making this my post today because while I love that we all craft, and that we all make beautiful objects, I love you all so much more, and I don't want to find out that you found out too late.

Anyone at any age can get cancer, so please today take a minute to check your self ladies... go to the Dr if you have missed your appointment and tell your friends to look.

Featuring My Favorites Friday

Oh wow this week has been... interesting... Chris has been home all week because he was really sick, but NOW he is driving up to Kelowna to see his brother... leaving me.... ALL BY MYSELF ( think of that part in song)...

To understand what this house feels like right now to me is to know that I have not had a night away from the kids and hubby in 4 years and 10 months.... that is not a joke or exaggeration... I have had a night away from the kids, and a night away from the hubster but not both... SO WEIRD!

I haven't been on the computer this week... I have been busy heloing hubby and the kids and trying to get ready for the craft fair. So excited and so nervous at the same time... I have never done a craft fair before, I hope people like my stuff!

Okay okay... enough about me... (sorry I just miss you guys!)

Handprint Pillow by Sugar Bee Craft Edition

I love this idea and I am doing it after the craft fair... I love hand prints and what a sweet little pillow to bring out every year!

Glove Warmers by A girl and a Glue Gun

This is suppose to be the coldest winter in 55 years for us in British Columbia... so kinda think those will be made... they would also be perfect to take to the rink when Joshua ice skates.

DIY Advent Calander from Bumblebee and Sophie

What a great idea!!!

Anyways guys that is all for today! I will try to get some pictures up of the santa clause bibs this weekend!!! And as well a tutorial for making your very own oven mitt for Christmas!!! I have lots of stuff for you all.

LOL... (it is okay if my humor doesn't amuse you... I still laugh)
