~Just a few things~

So do you like the new bloggie look? Shawn just rocks I tell ya! These are too much fun with the new backgrounds!!  So, the quilt is coming along! I actually got two borders done. I need to make sure it all looks even to beth before I do the last border. So the first border is persimmon corduroy. YUM! Next is the orange/brown jellybean fabric and the last will be the chocolate corduroy. I think that will be sweet looking. I have go to finish all my embellies too! But see this basket? I decided to make it my sewing basket since my last one was just a Rubbermaid container. NOT CUTE! LOL So looks pretty cute ya think? Helps the inspiration move along.

And then, I ordered a TON of goodies from Josh' Scolastic Book flyer he gets from school! I love these. I always order them for the kids. But check out how cute! Knitting boards for boys!!! Trucks, planes, trains, etc. Aren't these awesome? Josh and Matt love these. And also a few GREAT Pirate books! Non scary ones too! We read these last night in bed. Just the cutest pirate books. :)

K off to have some fun with the kiddies!

I'm so crazy!

I can get all funktified trying to change things..ie blog design, web design...anything! Just went crazy last night trying to redo this thing. I love all the sweet emails you all send and am afraid I should confess something right now. I suffer from "the world has got to see HUGE LARGE pictures on my blog" syndrome! I know..really sad. I know several of you have smaller computer screens than I do. And I always automatically think you see what I see. Well, not the case. So, in effort to make things cleaner, nicer, more balanced, I have downscaled the size of my blog and pics! Meaning hopefully my pictures won't scare you to death anymore. :) So if you feed readers say SMJ blog has over 100 posts..well...I'm just going through and downsizing pics. I still have way more to do so just ignore my posts! LOL And hopefully this blog of mine will be more easy to read.

I really had wanted Miss Pea to redo the blog. But I know that my picky ways would have gotten the best of me...and probably would have redone whatever beautiful thing she created. I know..crazy. So, I labor and redo it myself...at least I can learn a few new things now and then. But after doing just this..which really is not much as for design, holy moly, Miss Pea you should charge a ton for your labor!

So, thank you Miss Shari for the late night chat while I hacked through this thing! LOL Hopefully you all are having a gorgeous day! Had to share this picture! Darling vintage Bavarian roses sprayer! Til then...happy days!

Running..how about that Idol now? Okay I looved the rocking it out show! I looooved Blake and looved Melinda's cool Tina Turner take on her song. I still looove Jordan though and really hope she wins it! I guess we'll see. But now it's just too exciting!

Sooo, are these fonts just the cuuuutest? They are by Taran!  Seriously I had to test them out and just love how cuute they are shadowed and stroked. Yummy!

Sooo, this morning was a fun mommy group time! I get so busy and scheduled that I rarely take time to go and enjoy a nice two hour break from the lil dudes and chat with girlfriends. I mean we could sit here and discuss how fun, important, needed it is for any mommy to get a small chunk in her day that is kid-free. Nice thing is that they are in the other room with sweet teachers and are having so much fun with their friends..I mean how can I not go? LOL No really....love going..love these girleees who are my friends and looove chatting with them...about anything! LOL And the boys had so much fun...well it's all good!

See, I'm already a tad de-stressed cuz mommy had her fun today! ahhahah!!!!!
