Glitz and Glitter

Last night the kids went to Christmas Ball! All zinged up, looking dynomite and ready for fun! Mother was a ball of nerves, I was mostly concerned about Taylor and driving. They have it a resort that is about 12 miles out of town!

It was such a crazy day, Emily got her hair done at 10:30, we ran some other errands, had to meet Taylor and his date & mother to get his tie to match her dress, and ingrediants for the cake Taylor requested to be made for his party, Better than Sex Cake!!! (should I be scared??)

Emily then got together at a friend's house and they all got ready together! The mom prepared a beautiful dinner for 19 kids, and invited all the parents over to get pictures etc! Taylor went to another girl's house, and that mom had prepared a wonderful array of appetizers for everyone (too bad we didn't get to stay long, we had to head to Emily's party to get pictures too).

After staying up until 2:00 AM knowing both were safe and sound, poor mother is BEAT! Oh well, sleep is over-rated, right?

Here are pictures of the kids and their dates.

<------Emily & Reggie

Taylor and Darreia-->

Poor Emily, she is sooooo sick with an awful cold and sore throat, I bet she is home tomorrow from school! She looks sick in this picture! And Taylor, the boy cracks me up when he tries to smile, I can only image his grad pictures!

Soooooo, another activity under our belts, I think I can start to think about Christmas....3 gifts purchased, that is it!

Yikes!

Happy Holidays from the Main's!!!

December? Already?

Wow, does time fly when you are having so much fun....or is it just old age? I think it might be the latter of the two!! I guess I don't consider myself old, but just busy!!

All my football talk this fall, the season went on ,and on, and on! It wasn't a bad thing, actually a fun thing. After Taylor finished his sophomore season, he was invited to continue on with the varsity team, so all in all we attened 24 football games this season (that is about 3 season's worth of game rolled into 1 season). The varsity team went on to Metrodome to play in the semi-finals for the state championship! We lost, but it was a VERY FUN year!

Next we moved onto dance. Remember the back issue with Emily? That long word? Well, she tried to be on the team, but had to step down due to her back. It was a very difficult decision, bittersweet for all of us. She has been dancing since she was 3 years old and not to be able to finish her senior year is just plain TOUGH!!

NOW, we have basketball for Taylor (never sits still). Just started practicing last week. First game is next week!!

ME? Well, I keep plugging along with everything... Have you seen my new Christmas tags on Etsy? My fun new ornaments on my website? My Ebay store has some good deals (and the SALE button my website too).

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!

Blogging Isn't my Thing, I don't think!!

I know, I really, really stink at this....I either just plain forget or just don't have the extra time to do this....I will try to get better at it!

Let's see what is going on, basically the same stuff, busy sewing up a storm, TIS THE SEASON. I have lots of new and fun items that can be seen here, in my Online Craft Show booth:

Saturday Morning

It is a wonderful fall morning! I love fall!! I can't wait to see all the leaves change!! It is always so spectacular!

What is going on around here? The usual, football, football and some working and creating!

Remember last week when I said Football just wasn't my favorite....well, on Thursday, Taylor had a bit of a head injury. It was NOT fun. But he is feeling much better this morning already!!

Here are some of my new Holiday tags....I love RED & Snowmen, can you tell???

We have 2 weddings today!! This ought to be fun!! So I suppose I better start ironing clothing!!! No playing with paper today!!

Darn!

Have a good weekend everyone!!

Are You Ready For Some Football?

I always get so nervous about this sport, the action, the roughness, the piles of large boys etc!!

Taylor had his second game yesterday, which even took me to another state, that is big in my book. I don't travel well!! We played in Moorhead, which is right next door to Fargo, North Dakota!!!

Here is Taylor carrying the ball, he is a running back. It scares me everytime he carries the ball, because he always is at the BOTTOM of the pile!

And here he is doing his other position...Long Snapper! I think this is funny to see him do this!!

I am so excited, I have some really fun winter and Christmas tags coming to my Etsy Shop!! I just giggle when I see them!! So keep watching, I will be listing them SOON!!

1st Days of School!!!

Well, I always hate to see the summer end, but for some reason, I just couldn't "take" summer anymore and needed for my children to get back into something constructive! As I have said before, I hate to see Emily start her senior year, but.....

I have said first "DAYS" of school, Taylor being a sophomore and first year at the high school, they have a day just for the sophs. So his first day was yesterday......can you tell how thrilled he was??? NOT!
So now this morning, in between the chaos I managed to get a few pictures again. Here is Emily first day as a SENIOR!! Getting ready to leave in her car!

And then one together.....the poor kid NEEDS a haircut, but we have had NO time for that with football!! So, I guess he just keeps flipping those bangs to the side for the time being!!!Ahhhhhh all day peace and quiet....

This is SO Exciting for ME!!

Flora Tags

Yep, little ol' me!! A little over a week ago, I was asked by a customer on Etsy about some of my tags. We struck a deal and look where they landed:

It is in the second group of pictures, the avacado (or Bamboo color) Flora journal shipping tag!! See it??

Christy is a very exciting and talented gal, she has put together one of the absolute best looking kits I have ever seen. She has soooooo many fun things, and the add-on kit is just as amazing.

AND, I just read, she has 6 kids!!! Mercy, what a gal!!

So I am off the drawing board....new penny rug done, needing pictures, want to get some new tags made up, and well, some more stitchery things.

The list is long.....as always!

AND, I really should take Taylor to get some back to school clothes!
