Family Additions...

I hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing Thanksgiving! We did and I'm really glad it's over. Afterall, I'm stuffed! :)

Let me do a little updating here...

Kara had her birthday the end of October and she wanted a hamster like her brother. So, on Halloween, we set off to the pet store and she picked out a beautiful little friendly girl. She named her Lizzy. We were told Lizzy was about 6 weeks old or so. Great! We got her home, set up in her new living space and play with her a bit. She's very friendly and easy to handle. Below is a picture of Lizzy at Kara's Birthday Party...

About a week later, I'm working away trying to get things finished for the craft show when I hear some horrible screaming from Kara! I think she's hurt, or maybe she just saw someone hurt (her oldest brother was sighting in his Bow) and I jump up to find out what was going on. After about 2 minutes of her dancing around and crying, she finally tells me that Lizzy has babies! Of course I'm in disbelief and go check it out for myself. Sure enough! Lizzy has 8 little babies!!! Kara had gone to pick her up and play with her and 4 little babies fall off of her. Luckily, no one touched the babies and they all got back under momma. They are now 3 weeks old and ready for a new home of their own.

If you are interested, Kara is sending them to new homes and will be spending any money she earns from them on her Christmas boxes for some of the local kids in need. You can email me at jennifer@thetrendyspot.com if you would like more information. They are adorable and hopefully will make some kids really happy...

By the way, if you have a custom order from me, they will be going out Monday and Tuesday of next week. I have new babies, checkbooks, wallets and a few other items nearing completion. Please remember that all Christmas orders need to be placed no later than December 8th to ensure time to create your item!
