Dr. Seuss Week Outfit

I had a request to do an outfit for Dr. Seuss week for Little Miss Laurel and as soon as Paige asked me about doing the dress, my head started taking off on a wacky adventure thinking of all the fun I could have with it! Well, Paige told me what she wanted and I got started!

I hope they love it as much as I do!

I have a ton of orders to be working on and I'll post them if I have time once they are completed. I can't wait to get started on a couple of them... lots of great fabrics being used and new styles too!

What a weekend!

It was a very busy weekend that has just now slowed down. We had a great dinner to celebrate Jacob's birthday Friday night... 6 homemade pizzas with loads of yummy toppings. And I forgot to take pictures! We had such a house full that I stayed busy making sure everyone had plenty to eat and drink that I didn't even pull out the camera...

Saturday Jacob and my husband and some of the Passin'Time Outdoors guys headed to Nashville for the Turkey Show down there. I believe they had a GREAT time meeting some of the Hunting celebrities. After they finished there, they headed to Opry Mills mall to the Outdoor Shop and again, had a great time. Jacob spent some of his birthday money on new camo.

While they played in Nashville, I took Kara, Dakota & Peyton out for a fun filled day. We started out by stopping by the Sweet Shop and they had a great time picking out some jumbo sized jaw breakers! They are still eating on those. After the sweet shop, we headed to the skating rink. Yes, I did skate. No, there are no pictures available! ;o)

Once we finished that, we had suprise party supplies to pick up for Sunday after church. This was for Jacob and his friend who shares a birthday exactly one year apart, Dillion. Again, I no pictures!!! I forgot my camera!

It was so hectic and crazy all weekend that I was exhausted and half thinking. So, no pictures. And no Sunday afternoon nap either. Once the suprise was finished, I had to run back to town and get supplies for a church finger food get together/shower. That went well and on Monday, I did laundry since I hadn't done any all weekend!

Whew! I'm tired just thinking about all that running!! I think I'll head to bed now.

Looking Back...

It's been 18 years... some long and some short. Some hard and some so sweet! I'm talking about the last 18 years of my oldest son's life. He was born on February 20th at 2:02 AM in 1991. Seems like yesterday.

Watching him grow from a sweet baby boy into a silly little toddler and now, a fine young man. He still has lots to learn but I'm sure he will do just fine if he listens to God's word and works hard to do his best.

I have been struggling to let him go a little more each day and it's so hard to realize that they don't need you like they did as little babies. At the same time, I'm proud that he doesn't need me so much.

He graduates this year and will start a new chapter in his life and will start making his own path in life.

Happy Birthday Jacob!

You may have already WON a Chalk Mat!

Thanks to the Handy Dandy Number generator, if you are lucky person number 12 (also known as Sidekik69) you have won a fantastic Pastel Disco Dot Chalk Mat with a Monogram of your selection! Congratulations!

**Please note that the above selection was written with that weird announcer voice playing in my head! LOL, it's been a long weekend!

Please Email me at Jennifer@thetrendyspot so I can get with you about your monogram selection! I'm super excited to be presenting this fun little gift to you!

Thanks so much to all of you who voted and added your thoughts... I have a wonderful new jumper planned out and I can't wait to get started on it. I do have a few orders to finish first though. Look for the new jumper style in about 3 weeks... hopefully sooner!

And I do have some new gift ideas to work on... baby rag quilts, name pillows and busy bags to name a few! Those will come as I am able to work on them.

Thanks again! I love hearing your thoughts and ideas... Remember custom gifts are just an email away!

Tax Time!

For me, I dread this time of year... I do want to get it over with as quickly as possible though so I bit the bullet today and got all my papers in order... This is no easy feat for me! I am so not organized with all my receipts and invoices. I spent a few hours in pure torture and thankfully, I can see the other side!

I do save all my receipts and keep them seperated but (and this is a BIG BUT!) I am bad about buying things other than just business supplies at the same time! Since my little business is a hobby, I don't have seperate accounts for business and household. This is probably a big no no but, my tax preparer doesn't kill me. (If looks could kill though, I'd be dead!)

So, thankfully, all I have to do now is bring all my hard work to my tax lady and let her figure out all my craziness!

Don't forget about the poll and let me know you voted so I can add you to the drawing. It's for an adorable Chalk Mat in the Pastel Disco Dots! And, I'll even get it monogrammed for you! There's only a day or two left on the poll so go VOTE!
