Randomness Saturday: Personal post

It's been a while since I've done a personal post from my "Randomness Saturday" series and I thought to bring it back, what do you all think?
Let's see what I can come up with this time....

♥ Gabriel started a new school 2 months ago: even tho I loath the whole situation around his school placement, I'm happy to report that his doing quite well, better that we ever expected. The teacher is very good and he's working very hard....spring forward to June to see if we can win the battle with the school district and have him in the school I want!

♥ Michelle is doing quite well too: her last meeting with the school teacher went very well and she's almost ready to start first grade (yes, she's in the school I want!). She's going to have a recital as a flower and we worked on her dress today: I will make sure to post pictures.

♥ I was a busy lady since Holiday season: literally didn't stop crocheting one day! Thank you all for the support and the patience while I got around your orders.

♥ I no longer have a part time job outside the house: my client passed away before Valentine's day and the agency hasn't been able to find me another person to watch in my available hours. So, here I'm, a stay-at-home-crafter-mom again and I don't mind it!

♥ I'm trying to get my products into local boutique for wholesale or consignment. Easier said that done, but I'm trying. Was already able to have a table to a local event the past weekend where I sold a cupcake pillow.

♥ I found a very awesome site to improve my picture quality: fotofuze. Seriously, you gotta try it! I'm slowly fixing all my pictures.....see a difference already?

♥ Don't forget to show my friend Kim some love and enter her giveaway!

Randomness Saturdays

Oh boy, was it a strange week? But here we're to another Saturday.

♥ I want to start asking you for praying for my FIL: he had a minor heart attack and when brought to the hospital they found out that he has a bad case of lung pleurisy. He seems to be doing better and will be probably be out of the hospital by tomorrow afternoon, but still, we're pretty worried.

♥ I had some personal issues that really scared me and I want to thank everyone for the kind words and support. It seems that the case is closed and hopefully it's everything behind us.

♥ Now I have a series of people to thank for featuring me so here it goes.
I scored another mention on the Handmade Highway blog thanks to Alecia Miller of Madbird that put together a collection of teacher gift. Since school is almost over, you might be interested in checking this out :)

♥ My birthday cupcake was included in a very awesome treasury: 'Nothing' ever looked so good by LilliputLoft. THANK YOU, I'm honored!

♥ Anne from Made For Me By Oaklie let me know that our common friend Kim from vabeachquilter choose my flower cupcake for her collection in the Yummy Great Finds. I was amazed by the beauties over there!!! There is a little poll on the left bar where you can vote the best item.....I dare you to pick one to vote for!!! LOL

♥ And the sweetest Karolina posted about my cupcake hat on her blog in a post about food inspired items and I was amazed to discover that the blog is in a foreign language. I'm not sure what is it, I'm guessing if Russian, but there is a Google translator on the right bar in case you want to understand what she saying :) THANKS KAROLINA!!

♥ Last thing I want to say and then I have to run, because the kids are calling me.... I'm now donating 10% of my profit to the oil spill victims.....the situation is pretty bad! I'm trying to put together some promotional material about this case and hopefully I will have a post about this soon.
In the meanwhile, if you'd like to donate too and are not sure how to go about it, consider donating your items or purchasing from HelpTheGulfCoast

Hope you're having a great week end!! Until next time....

Randomness Saturdays

This Saturday I'm good enough to post!

♥ Turns out that I had a bad reaction to the stitches used for my surgery. I took them off yesterday and luckily I will be ok in a couples of days. Can't wait to put all this behind me for good and start anew!

♥ Gabriel had his last baseball game and he proudly brought home a trophy. It just stroke to me our far he has come! Few months ago, when he was in the soccer team, it was really hard for him to understand what was going on and why. He's know A LOT more aware of the things that are happenings, he understands them, he LIVES them and enjoys them all and I enjoy watching him grown and getting better. I'm always more and more convinced that with love and work, he can turn autism around, call me a dreamer.

♥ Michelle went to a field trip with the school to the zoo.....she's still taking about the white tiger she saw and she's drawing tigers everywhere.....too funny!

♥ Since I was on pain killers during the past week, I don't have much to tell you. I kept forgetting things all week, sleeping several hours per day and be careful not to suffer too much when I ate stuff. Meh, not really interesting, sorry guys!

♥ I discovered some amazing movies tho. One is an evergreen in my opinion "Doorknobs and Broomsticks", they don't make movies good like that anymore! I watched it over and over with the kids and they loved the "witch". Never get tired to see this one. And yesterday night I had the pleasure to see "Avatar": I must say, it's simply amazing, I love the world with the blue people and I for one wish I could be one of them. They have skills and abilities that we've lost in our civilization process that I really wish we'd still have. The world will be a much better place in my opinion.

♥ I feel a little bit gloomy and "home" sick, I really wished my parents were around during this past week, I think it'd have been far more bearable, even tho hubby was fantastic, I really missed my mom and dad. And so this song tonight, sums up the feelings that I'm trying to push deep inside. I'm not able to get the code for the video, but it's "Home" of Micheal Buble'
