A Lil' Hello is Way Past Due!!!

Wow ... I have to get it together!

I think I need a professional organizer for my life .. y'know to organize my time.

Although I totally see that as impossible.

Full time job - check

5 kids - check

lots of hobbies - check

house to clean - check

a farm of critters - check

did I mention a lot of hobbies?

I daydream often about being able to support my family on my imagination.

DAYDREAMING

Maybe I should stop that & just get more done! LoL

So last weekend I did my very first walk for charity. Myself with 4 of my 5 kids walked for diabetes on Saturday. I really enjoyed it. Not only was it a wonderful cause but I also remembered how much I do totally love walking. I have been completely lazy about staying healthy lately (I think I have been totally lazy about a lot of things ... ) but after doing the walk I got my walking mojo back. And what they say about exercising giving you more energy - TOTALLY true!

Here is my imagination at work again!

I took a picture of the deer my husband shot a couple of years ago & got mounted - then used some software & did my thing to use my Cricut & cut his deer head for him to put on his truck. I figure there are so many 'generic' deer decals out there .. why shouldn't he have his own deer on his truck? I have had this idea for a while it just took me the time to gather up the software to be able to do 'my thing'

And yes I have taken some time to make a few pieces of jewelry.

This one is just a fun lil' piece. A few little flowers using some jump rings .. to be honest this just kind of happend. I didn't 'see' this one before hand.

This one makes me laugh ...

Not at all what I had in mind. But thats ok .. not always do things look like what I have in mind.

I have made this piece several times. But I do love it .. seems to get a lot of comments.

This time I decided to make this one because I talked with my favorite local bead shop & the owner & I talked about me doing some classes for her after the first of the year. She said 'I know which one I want you to do first....'

You guessed it ..... this one

With the cooler fall like weather starting to show up this piece kind of felt right.

I love the way the tree limbs turned out. I really had a hard time getting a good picture of the details so I know you can't see what I see ... but I totally love this one.

It wasn't intended to but it kind of resembles holly.

Awww....

Then there is this piece.

One of my personal favorites.

I have been extremely impressed with the way my company does so much for the community .. raising money for different causes, adopting a local park .. etc.

So I came up with this necklace to donate .. it is going to be auctioned off at work & the money earned will be used to donate to the Susan G Komen fund.

I am truly proud to work for a company that does so much for people.

Do you like Coca-Cola?

Did you know they donate to the Susan G Komen fund every time you purchase one of the Fuze Empower brand drinks?

Anway - my contribution....

This was enivitable for me ...

I am so proud of to an American.

And I so respect what our flag represents.

For all of our soldiers I take my hat off for the sacrifices they have made so that I can sit here right now & write this ... & so I can do all of the things I do.

Thanks to all of YOU.

And last but not least ...

My oldest daughter is a senior this year.

She had her senior night for volleyball last week ... she asked me many times beforehand if I was going to bring her flowers. I wanted to .. but with work & schedule .. blah blah blah .. I knew I would not have time to go get flowers for her. So instead I made her some forever flowers with my love blooming forever.

This has to be one of my personal favorite pieces.

Well I have officially bored you enough ... tee hee.

I guess it can't be said that when I DO blog I leave much out?!

Oh I do have more to share ... but I will save a little ... maybe that will get me back here sooner!

Thanks for any & all that read & view my photos.
