"Guy... Guy... "

When my sister was visiting a few weeks ago she asked me if I ever made Aunt Margaret's raggedy ann dolls for my kids. Aunt Margaret made these funny tuna fish sandwiches for us when we were kids - I can't remember exactly how she did it, I think black olives for eyes, shredded carrots for hair... anyway, my kids don't like tuna (I loooooooove tuna)!! So here is my own version I made for little miss Amy last week. She loved it! She called Kraig on the phone & said "guy... guy..." - it was so cute :)

Our guy had bread, cheese, & ham all cut in circles for the head. Ranch ears, pretzel hair, a pickle nose, raisin eyes, & an apple slice for a mouth!

I'm A Celebrity~!!!


Last Saturday there was an article in the paper about Yooper Yard Sale, the "online garage sale" website/group that my friend Heather started. I was in a small pic on the front page of the paper & then two larger pics on the inside! I went to craft shows that day & EVERYONE I knew (which was quite a few people) said "ohhhh, saw your pic in the paper" - I was so embarassed~! Especially because I hadn't seen the pictures yet.... they didn't turn out too bad though. Then at church the next day I heard the same thing from everyone there, lol~! Too funny!!!!!!!!!

So if you have items you'd like to get rid of, or if you are looking to find a deal on anything, check out the website at www.yooperyardsale.net

Winter is HERE~!

And there is no denying it.... I think it's here to stay this time! Alex always wondered why I never enjoyed winter! He got his first taste of it this morning! He did NOT want to get all bundled up in his snowpants, big ol' jacket, gloves, hat, scarf, & boots! HA! I said... "See Alex, THIS is why I don't like winter"~!!!!

He looked so cute though, I was calling him the abomidable snowman - too bad I have NO CLUE how to spell it, hahahahahaha!

My craft show went awesome on Saturday! I swear I had the busiest booth! Everyone was loving Wildtree! I raked in over $300.00 - !!!!!!! I also found 6 people to do parties & 1 lady very interested in the business... so interested we penciled her launch party in for November 25th! And another one interested, but for her daughter, so I'll see what that brings. I'd love to do another show before Christmas!

Speaking of Christmas - why do I have this nagging desire to decorate NOW??? I usually wait until December 10-15th to put everything up because I hate having it up so long... but yesterday, I swear if my house was clean I would have totally been decorating for Christmas <3

Well, I'm off for now! Have a great Monday.... I need to go throw in some laundry :)

New things!!

Saturday Amy learned 2 new words :)

The first one was "Ella"... & the 2nd one, well, I'd rather not share, lol! But I will anyway... Yes... my 2 year old said "freak" as clear as anything! We may not be needing speech therapy afterall, lol~!

Today, Alex asked me how I "write my name like that" when he saw me signing his read at home folder. So I taught him cursive! This was his FIRST attempt at his own name?!?!?! Can you believe it??!!??!! We have a genius on our hands here :)

It's so fun when kids learn new things.... even if it is how to say 'freak'!!!!!!!!!!!
