Guilty Feelings..

Hello!

(Like the new design?!)

Oh goodness, where has time gone?!  LOL- I know thats the story of my life nowadays.

I feel the struggle to blog alot now, which makes me sad because I LOVE blogging.  I get the mommy guilt going on when I do orders and then blog.  I feel like I am on the computer all hours of the day (not really, but alot!) and I don't want to think back when Aiden was 3 and I didn't spend time with him.

I know, I need breaks too and right now I am doing all the Etsy to build our dream home and get Aiden the things he needs in life and to help Brent out since hes our worker in the house ;)  But really, I hate working when Aiden is home and sometimes I have to do but I try to focus on only Aiden when hes home and its just him and I :)

(so please dont stray away from my blog LOL)

Besides...can you believe how bored I would be without constant orders ;)

My sisters birthday card

(she loves bling, zebra, shopping, and the money inside the card!)

I used my Taylored Expressions 3d bag die, adding some bakers twine ribbon, gems, and ruffle ribbon and of course sparkle tissue paper for the bag!

Winter onederland parties are still a hit in my store!

I promise..I will be back soon LOL.  Besides, its time for Inked Treasures to have a new release!

Going to my moms

I am a few days late doing the Mojo Monday Card Sketch



Well...not really late but I usually get the chance to make my version on Monday or Tuesday at the latest, but this time I made is late Wednesday night. Oh well..at least I was able to finish it and participate this week!

My card:





I obviously chose to do the square/rectangle shape...although I think round would have been fun to do but I honestly do not have round or square envelopes to mail the cards in or to include it when I put these cards on Etsy

Today has been a super busy day. Aiden and I drive the hour and 1/2 to see my mom. We always have so much fun. Stopped by Kohls and got Aiden some ADORABLE spring/summer outfits. We also went to Target to get bridal shower gifts, ate some yummy lunch with my sister, and did alittle more shopping.

The only thing I dislike about doing this is Aiden NEVER takes naps...so around 7ish he shuts down and has a complete meltdown. Its so heartbreaking but honestly I would say within 2 minutes in the car and hes out. Poor thing!

I gotta get off here and go watch our survivor we taped!

Super Bowl Bound

Yep thats right...the Indianapolis Colts are moving on to the Super Bowl against the New Orleans Saints. It will be an exciting game as both teams are good...but we all know who this household will for rooting for!

Today I went to my moms to do some sewing (we have quite a few projects going on) and we got pretty far and ate at a yummy Amish resturaunt for lunch...so worth the hour drive!!

This post will probably be pretty short...for some reason I am SO tired...like cant keep your eyes open tired. Hopefully Aiden sleeps better than last night/this morning lol.

I just wanted to log on real fast and upload a new video. This time is coloring a dinosaur image and wouldnt you know...less than 24 hours I posted the card I created with the image..it SOLD!! As well as the coupon book the day before! Its exciting to see an etsy email!



Here is the card I created with the youtube video/image...its sold already though but I might make another one for the shop since its so cute and I have another image ready to use!
