New Items!

Hello!

Sorry for the post below and no wording or anything LOL.  I was trying to email those pics to my mom and her Ipad wasnt accepting them because the files were too large.

We had our ladies only Christmas party (the women in my family get together for lunch, gift exchange, and a craft) and I wanted to make something special for some lucky  names that were drawn. 

Glass jars with layers of Hershey kisses and hugs. 

The other item is my Christmas tag for this year.  I used the Stampin Up Peek a boo tag set and stamped a doller michaels stamp and colored it and glued it to the top.  I love the way it came out!!

Here is some recent Etsy items I have created for clients as well.

T.G.I.F!!

 Hello!

T.G.I.F!!!  I love Fridays!! I really miss seeing Aiden 24/7 now that hes in preschool so I love getting the weekends with him!

This weekend is pretty busy for us....we are having to borrow a lawn mower (commercial size one so we dont have to use our push one for 5 acres LOL) and borrow a trailer so that we can mow our land since our dixie chopper was destroyed.  Thank goodness...the grass is getting SO tall and the propertly looks overgrown and now our beautiful land/lawn

We are also going to my grandmas this weekend and I of course will be busy working on Aidens party decor!  So excited for his party coming up.  Can you believe he will be 3?!?!

In the meantime here are some recent Etsy orders I have been getting done

Banners

 Cupcake Toppers

High Chair Banners

I am SO happy to say that as of today all my paid orders have been shipped out!  We will see how long that lasts LOL.  I am needing to stay caught up...we are sick here at the house.  Colds in August??  Not fun!

Thanks for coming and check back soon for more updates!  Have a great weekend

The Attack......

Hey Everyone!

Everyone ready for another holiday weekend?! I am!! I havent been posting because I have been in so so much pain.

For about a week now I have been getting this awful back pain. Its terrible. I cant sit, stand, sleep, or be in a good mood. It literally makes me cry because it hurts SO bad. I told Brent that if I had been pregant, I would have bet money I was in labor.

Anyways I took some medicine and fell asleep (s0mehow) with the heat pad. The next night it got worse and than I started vomiting and just getting sick all the time. The next day...it was gone and I felt great! So weird. Fast forward 2 days later....it came back.

I was ready to go to the hospital at 4 in the morning but instead called a 24 hour hotline number for a womens dr...I figured they could still help me since I felt like I had to urinate 24/7 at this time LOL......she told me she needed to see me within 4 hours. Not going to happen with a sleeping toddler at 4am and I DO NOT want him to go to the hospital and get something OR wait for me.

I live in a big area, I wasnt dying so I knew I would be sitting at the emergency room too long, besides I couldnt sit.

So somehow I fell asleep and woke up at noon. Pain was gone...just a little sore on the back. Went to urgent care and it looks like I had a kidney infection and the only thing he could say about the "attack of pain was kidney stones.

So my pattern has been back hurting, feeling good for 2 days, HURTING again. Well...today has been 2 days of feeling good and I am scared its going to come back LOL. This time I was told I had to go to the hospital if it happens again. *GULP* Pray for me!

Anyways...so being in pain AND trying to do orders. I only shipped one order to the wrong address...not too bad in my book ;) (I wont even count it as that...its her other address, shes in a different city right now, so technically it WAS her house I sent it too, just not the right one currently).

Above are some pics of some recent orders. I am booked till July 10th with parties as my orders have really increased lately!

Well I need to get off here and get some work done before my attack starts...wait Im suppose to think positive right?!

Puppy Dog Items

Hey Everyone!

I just wanted to update real fast and show off a new "theme" I have created for my Etsy store, Scrappin Ashley

It's a puppy or dog theme. I love the way it turned out! I did the items for a custom request for a lady here Indianapolis for her sons first birthday.

I have created a high chair banner and cupcake toppers!

Other than creating new items for my store we have been super busy trying to find a house plan we like, and I have been working on Aidens toddler bedding (with the help from my grandma and mom) I am so excited to be doing his bedding!!

Well I need to get lunch ready before Aiden has an appt later on today :)

Come back soon!

Catching Up

Easter was SO much more fun this year than last year :)

Can't wait to see what Aidens like next year!

We were able to celebrate Easter for several days. Brents family on Saturday and our personal one and my families on Sunday evening. Of course it has been raining for 9232 days straight so pictures werent the best.

Here is Aiden ready to go outside. Hes thinking "c'mom mom..no more pics..lets go outside!"


I hid the eggs on the porch, front area and on the cars in the driveway since it was so rainy out.

Here is a picture from my aunts house...who have bunnies! Look how precious this picture turned out! Oh...and can you tell hes spoiled by all the stuff around him LOL


This year I wanted to start another family tradition. Adorable monogrammed Easter baskets that all my kids could have. Pottery Barn has the cutest baskets/liners and sell out FAST each year. I was lucky to be able to get TWO..the larger one (below) which is the basket the Easter Bunny leaves and a smaller one Aiden gets to keep to gather eggs at hunts and take to family.


Look how cute his basket turned out! ITS HUGE! A huge ball, pack of sidewalk chalk, candy, frisbee and bubbles all fit in there!

I also want to share some adorable custom Curious George items I created for a client a couple weeks ago. I love the way they turned out!!

Time to start the roast for dinner! Come back soon!

Its been awhile..

Hey Everyone!

I hope everyone still checks back to read. Life has been crazy and honestly I fell into a blogging slump you could call it.

I have had so many Etsy custom orders lately and it has finally slowed down a little. Well to at least where I can actually breathe again LOL. I have been trying to earn all the extra money I could to help purchase our dream land for our dream home

Ready to put an offer down and couldnt have been more excited

one more drive by late at night to get excited and make sure we still liked it (we did)

Next morning...it was under contract..so pretty much sold in my eyes. We are hoping it falls through (sounds terrible I know...) and we can get it again.

Very disapointing when you want something so much and work so hard to get things in order to have it and then its gone. :(

Everything happens for a reason so we are still looking for land we like or a beautiful home.

I am watching my nephew today so I am not sure if I will have much time to blog later so I just wanted to quickly post where I have been and that I am back!

Here are some things I have been working on. Sold in my Etsy store.

Thanks for looking and come back soon!
