A while back I wrote a poem and I just found it.

I have a son who just turned two.
There are lots of things he likes to do.
Making messes is his number one,
And just when I think he's done,
I realize our fun has just begun.

I clean up...
lotion
soap
water
mud,
more water
more water
yogurt, Ugh!
oatmeal
grapes
milk
crumbs,
spit
toys
He's having fun!
crayon
detergent
garbage
movies,
this really isn't going smoothly.

And then I get it all cleaned up.
And look around for my little pup
From Dallin's top bunk I hear him yell.
When will he fall? Only time will tell.

I wonder how long until bedtime at seven.
I look at the clock and see its only eleven!!!
So I get him down, set him on my lap,
Then we rockabye, sing, and take a nap.

Cute cards

I tried some new card designs. I copied them from some posted on the stampin up website. Again, my camera was flashing no battery so the quality of picture is not the best.
I thought these were cute. I got the stamps at Michael's in their $1 bins. I am a sucker I know.

My Mother Scrapbook

I've made a few of these scrapbooks for friends. I decided it was time for me to make one for myself. Now I just have to decide what pictures to put in it and actually develop them. Oh, I'm also a real simple scrapbooker. So all the pages are really low key.

Yeah, the pages are hard to see in some. My camera was flashing no battery and Jeff was jumping on my back while I was trying to take the pictures.

The leprechauns found us again! This year they left their footprints.

All over the kitchen and bathroom. We think they were looking for gold. They spread out our chocolate coins I gave the kids in the morning. Those silly guys, they d0n't know that we are a silver family!

They came when the kids were at school and I was visiting teaching:)

Sew I'm Finished!

I set out to make these travel pillows around the beginning of February. I cranked out Dallin and Emma's. I just finished Jeff's last week. I did them all by myself. It really made me feel good. They are from a simplicity pattern.
The kids really do love them. They sleep with them all the time. I'm happy they like them that much.

Luck o' the Irish

This is my new ornament for my wire tree. They are cut out of a cardboard envelope. We painted them and put glitter glue around them. Very cheap, but still decorative.

Happy Birthday Relief Society!

Our ward had sisters do table settings for eight people. This is what I did. It was my first time ever doing anything at an enrichment. I was very happy to be able to share something. I know it is very simple, but that is me.

Time Flies!

So it seems as though I haven't really been doing anything lately. That might or might not be true. I have kind of slowed down on the blogging aspect of my life, but I thought this was a way cute ornament for my tree...
I got the inspiration from a garland I saw at rod works years ago. I went home and made a garland as close to the one I saw with buttons and cloth hearts strewn about on wire. I wanted to do something similar for my tree but had been dragging my feet. Finally one Tues. (one week before Valentine's Day) Brian had extra long meetings and the kids were asleep and I got to work. I took cloth hearts and zig-zagged the edges. I put a little eyelet in them and used jute(is that the right name?) with a little button. I really like them.
