Gingerbread Houses

So like many of you, we made gingerbread houses. But unlike many of you, WE MADE REAL GINGERBREAD!!! Ahhhh! I tried to convince Wes to let me buy one of those handy kids, oh no it had to be real lol! It took us all week to create these masterpieces. It was kind of fun because it gave the kids something to look forward to each night. I think Wes just started a new tradition...good thing he is the one with the patience!

Halloween/Thanksgiving 2009

Here is a quick run down of Halloween and Thanksgiving for this year:
Our kids were Crayons with Katie's two youngest, Zac was Harry Potter. We had a lot of compliments on the crayons, they were a big hit! We took them to the Halloween carnival at Wilson Elementary and the next night they went with Grandpa Tom to his school carnival. They had a good time trick-or-treating. I actually had to drag them to houses trying to get them more stuff and they were complaining!! Riley actually sat down a few times and told me he was done lol!
For Thanksgiving we went to my parents house. LOVE Thanksgiving dinner!! My neice Jenny painted my toenails and fingernails for me, she is quite the little manicurist =). We just had a great time visiting and hanging out. We missed Scott's family this year, he had knee surgery a couple days before and wasn't feeling up to moving. And can you believe I did NOT have one single piece of pumpkin pie (my absolute favorite), my choice this year was warm cherry pie a la mode! YUM!

More Jewelry

I found the pictures of my latest jewelry. I am adding a new line that I am very excited about, "Primal Touches". It will have rustic looking metal touches with some glitz. The Christmas Tree Necklace is a perfect example of what I mean. Let me know what you all think. THANKS!!

Jewelry

Here is a slideshow of some of my jewelry. Most of this stuff I cannot duplicate 100%, but if you see something you like, I can make it similar. Thanks to everyone for their excitment for me, its been a big motivator.

Whatever

Just a lame update. I haven't blogged really cause of my hand. So, now I will get back on top of it. Wes is still unemployed. There just isn't any work, but we have lots of people looking out for us. He is now a certified welder, which is awesome. He likes doing that a lot. I am trying to work on my jewelry and figure out how to put it on my blog. Right now I don't have enough materials to duplicate anything, so that is what I am trying to figure out. The kids are good. Hailey likes school. She doesn't like to get up in the morning, some say she is just like her mom. I must protest HAHAHA! Riley is a spaz, but he is constantly making us laugh. He loves his big sister to know end. Like I said, I will be better at blogging now that my hand is out of the cast. Typing with two hands is much easier=)!
