Randomness Saturdays

Ready for this one too?? Let's get started!

♥ Gabriel's update: He played like a catcher today at the baseball game as you can see from the picture above. He was really uncomfortable in the gear and I heard him complaining with the coach a couple of times, but he did stay to his post trying to catch the ball even tho he couldn't see out of the heavy helmet. I'm really proud of him!!

He had a rough week and he still has a cough that I don't like not even a little bit. Tuesday there is a check up to the doc to see what's up!

♥ Michelle's update: She's literally driving me nuts coloring and drawing all over the walls in our house! She's back to school and she's enjoying herself! Also,thanks to you'll votes, she won the content for the Kid Of the Month of Everyday Moms: I had to write a little paragraph about her and if you wish you can read about here

♥ Business: My Etsy shop is still in its limbo, but business is picking up everywhere else, so it's just a matter of time I guess.

♥ Yesterday I got in the mail another prize that I won from Mommy reads too much, the sister site of Taking time for Mommy
I Won the book "The Moon looked down" of Dorothy Garlock and I started reading it right away. Mommy reads too much is a cool blog and I recommend to check it out often if you wish to win lots of wonderful books!

♥ Saw the movie Julie&Julia yesterday night and I love the message: put your head into it and no matter what life will trow at you, if you believe it it will happen! Hope this is an inspiration for many out there, I sure needed some.

♥ Time to leave you with a fave song: You'll be in my heart by Phil Collins. That's what I'm listening right this second and I hope you'll enjoy too!

Everyday Moms One Year anniversary and "Drop The Name" Giveaway

Today We celebrate the First anniversary on a very cool site Everyday Moms.

The owner and all the admin will be on line pretty much all day welcoming new members, chatting with current members, having fun and having giveaway! Yes you heard me!

I'm going to run to take my daughter to the doc (yet again) so I won't be available as I hoped for, but I left you a little surprise on my page ;) Good luck!

Big Thanks!

Big Thanks are in order today to many people for many reason.
So, let's start and give those thanks you's!

♥ I want to star to thank my friend Allison, one of the admin on Everyday Moms, that sent me a little surprise in the mail the past week! There you go!

The cupcake towel comes from Made At Nanas and the cupcake soap comes from Norma's bath and body.

♥ Than I want to thank Allison's daughter Kiya: ever wonder what my customers think about my cupcakes? Wonder no more: watch this video!

♥ I have to thank Deb for featuring my shop on Indie Juction: I felt very honored!

♥ Least, but not last, I want to thank Tammy that highlighted my plarn bag in this blog post. I really enjoy reading all her findings.

Ok, now it's time for me to take a shower with the lovelies that were in my mail!

Randomness Saturdays

Hi you'll! How everyone is doing? I'm doing ok here, except for my little Michelle that got a very bad ear infection and is in a lot of pain :(
Let's the random stuff start, shall we?

♥ I was working on some Easter bunny hats the other day and my daughter saw one that was incomplete, missing a ear of the bunny. She immediately picked it up, to bring it to my attention (I got side tracked doing something else). With a note of worry in her voice she told me: "Look mommy, the bunny is hurt!" I promptly assured her that the bunny was ok and I was going to fix it, picked up my crochet hook whipping up the missing ear and attaching it to the hat. She seems pleased with the result and wasn't worried any more. Few Night later, she woke up in the middle on the night with very acute pain in her left ear. Trying to calm her down, I sweetly whisper to her that mommy was going to fix her ear. At this point she stopped crying, crawled out of the bed and went to pick me up....well, you guessed a HOOK. I didn't know if I wanted to laugh or cry, trying to figure out how to tell her I couldn't fix her ear with a crochet hook.

♥ I was live with my cam on Thursday night: I was given a shop spotlight to promote my wares by the amazing site: Everyday Moms. Let me tell you.....was brutal being live, but was also fun! Hope you will join use next Thursday on Mingle Media TV at 8.30 pm Central Time. I also just accepted (kinda few minutes ago!) the offer to become admin of the site, so it's a good way if you'd like to connect with me more!

♥ More people to thank since they featured me:
- Lori, of the Handmade Highway, included me in our weekly newsletter.
- Shiela from the Antique Pocket Watches for featuring my other blog, Indie Discounts.

♥ Time for the recommended movie: The Bucket List. I love it every little bit of that movie and really help putting things in the right prospective.

♥ I'm leaving you my "stuck-in-the-head" song, hope you'll like it!
