So Where have I been?

I feel so bad! I have been so negligent! But I have just been crazy! So I will just try to update the last six months. It's like writing a book. If I had had time to keep a diary, then I could just cut and paste but I didn't even have time for that.

First thing we had to get thru was Cameron's installation as Jobe's Daughter's Honor Queen. It is like having a wedding! All the little details and planning. Then all the work of making corsages, flowers, gift bags for all the girls and Aunts. Then you have to have a reception afterwards. So of course there is covering the tables, getting centerpieces, buying all the plates, silverware, cups. That's just for starters. Then you have to have a menu, decide on food. If I had been smart, we would have catered it. I figured it up afterwards and spent just as much doing it myself. And of course we can't be simple, just because that is the way this family is. It was much like what we do at Christmas. Hmm, come to think of it, that is what she wanted! lol! So dinner was turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans, dinner rolls, tea, and lots of desserts! So we got thru that.

Then they had their Christmas party (which we were in charge of). Then we had Christmas (which is always a big blowout here) and headed into the new year.

So January and February, we just passed the flu and colds from one to another. I just prayed John never got sick. He isn't all that strong to begin with. Having a house full of sick babies is no fun. Lylli and Cara just passed it back and forth. I didn't get much done around here.

The only thing I did, was finally make a decision to join some good women in a crafty endeavor!

I belong to the ShowMe Etsy Street team from Missouri. Really it is a combination of the metro area which includes Illinois. Since I live so close to St. Louis, it was the closest team around. We have been together awhile now. But to move on, some of the ladies decided to take it a step further.

To get past the boring steps, we now have a B & M shop in Crestwood Court called Showme Handmade. It is a combination of nine owners and I know at least 20 consigners. I would have to go count all the paperwork to get you an accurate number, but I am not at the shop right now.

But you can check us out at http://www.showmehandmade.com./

So now I need to update all my pages here and there and get myself into a routine.

Got lots to do today, so will try to do better this week!
