House Update (Shingles and Garage)

Hello!  Happy Sunday!

 

I expected to wake up to snow on the ground.....we don't have any yet, but they are still calling for 6-9 inches of snow before Tuesday.  Yuck.  Isn't it suppose to be Spring now?!

 

Here is a look into our  week/weekend:

 

Aiden picked his NCAA picks on Thursday evening

 

To celebrate the end of school for Spring Break we made cupcakes

 

 

 

Saturday we took Aiden to do another Lowe's Build and Grow project.

 

(Here are photos from our LAST build and grow)

 

 

Here are the ones from yesterday

This project was definitely the hardest we have done.

 

After Lowe's, we went to our house and were surprised to see shingles!

 

 

 

 

They also installed our garage doors

 

Brent was excited they installed our meter base and electrical panels

They also finished our electrical outside (can lights and ceiling fan prewire for the porch)

Brent's parents also came out and stayed all day with us and treated us to dinner (Thank you!)

 

 

 

They also delivered items to do the brick on our house!

Tomorrow not big plans excpet it's my birthday!

  Hope everyone had a great weekend!



 

 



Aidens Party!

Hello!

Sorry its been a whole week without posting!  My sons party was last weekend and I had been VERY busy making his party extra special for him, as well as keeping up with my orders!

Lets start off with some exciting news...Here is the new button I created for Inked Treasures Digi stamps!  I am releasing FOUR new digi stamps today so head on over to the store NOW!

Aiden doesnt officially turn 3 till this Saturday but we needed to have the party on the 3rd so alot of people could come and help him celebrate.  I still need to get his 3 year old pictures taken but its harder now that hes in school everyday.

This picture is out of order but here he is blowing out his candle.  His theme was "Ball Party", so we had lots of ball themed items.  He wanted to blow out the candle at least 3 times...it was pretty cute!

We had the party at my grandparents since its in our hometown and easy for everyone to get to.

Here is some of the table decor.  

Here is a closeup.  I made the centerpieces.  Each one had different themed ball in them.  I did the napkin rings and the photo cubes that have pictures of him throughout the year.  And we made cake in a jar favors for everyone to take home.

Here is a closeup of the napkin rings, again each one had a different ball on it



Here is the birthday banner I created for Aiden. 

 Outside sign to welcome people to his party.  I kept the sign pretty plain so he could use it in his room or for more parties, so I just stuck with his name.  Loved this!

I made cupcakes in Chocolate and Strawberry, each one is a different ball/sport

*Football

*Baseball

*Tennis Ball

*Golf

His cake was french vanilla/white and was a 3d soccer ball cake sitting ontop of "grass".  I loved making his cake again this year!  

My sister in law was in charge of taking pictures of him opening his gifts since I sat on the floor with him and helped.  He loved his party and keeps talking about it!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the lack of posting. We have been SO busy here lately. I have been working so hard trying to keep up with my Etsy orders and on Tuesday I actually took a break and Mr. Aiden and I headed to my moms house for the day/evening.

Had a great time but as usual, I received 3 new orders LOL. And tonight I am going to meet a friend for a late dinner...then coming home to work on orders that have to get shipped out tomorrow morning.

(I have a hard time doing anything Etsy related during the day when its just me and Aiden and hes up and not napping.....I am a mom first thing and he gets all my attention besides doing daily things like picking up, laundry, etc)

Here is a custom banner I did to match their beach wedding/star fish design.

And here is a card that looks yummy enough to eat LOL.....the customer who bought this card purchased it for her daughters nursery!! Do you know how cool that makes you feel LOL

My next thing to work on is finishing up my big surprise project I have had in the works for the last year or so. Life happens so there have been some changes but still VERY exciting!!

Come back soon :)
