CRE8

My how time flies....seems like a few months instead of weeks since I posted. I did not make it to any of my art ed convention. Instead, I spent quality time with 3 beautiful girls.

Isabelle, Alyssa, and Makenna just turned 2 in early oct. When my sister-in-law said they knew their alphabet I'm thinking...how cute... they probably know part of the song. Oh NO, these girls are SUPER SMART. Saturday when they woke up from their nap I was playing with them in the room and there is a table with the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors on it. I am not kidding when I tell you they went straight to the table and started recognizing and IDENTIFYING correctly EVERY letter, number and shapes. I was shocked. I have no idea how Kim and her mom do it everyday. I was aching all over the next day, but enjoying every single minute of chasing them around, feeding, bathing and playing with them and especially the hugs n kisses. Sweet babies.

I actually got most of the things done on my to-do list. I completely went a new direction on the blog prizes and they are cute. I'll be getting them delivered soon. The blog contest I had in July will now be a Christmas theme prize. Funny thing is, some of the ones I owe a prize to will be like "Blog prize? what blog prize? What IS a blog?" LOL. (Not you Jennifer F.)

I've been working on my Christmas projects. I hope to get my strange computer issues worked out soon so I can actually upload photos. From experience I know blogs are much more interesting with pictures.

Kirk and J.T. are doing well. Both are hunting...literally this afternoon. Kirk is still doing well in football. Again, luckily we've had some good old-fashioned Tornado football where the score is "on up there" and he's been able to play. J.T.is more excited about hunting this year than ever before.

I already have 3 Christmas trees up, how about you? I'm working on decorating this week. I like to do a little at a time. Actually, I'd rather do it at once, but I usually end up doing it a little at a time.

Check back soon for PHOTOS of some of the projects I'm working on. I've also created an "etsy" shop and will upload items to that soon hopefully. WHAT is etsy, you ask? Well,check it out. www.etsy.com It's a site where people sell all kinds of cool, strange, great home made stuff.

CRE8.
get it? CREATE. (one of my new art projects at school is for the kids to create their own license plates. I did one as an example and I love it. It may show up in my car...although J.T. says he would not ride with me if I do. LOL.) You can see it on our artsonia site. www.artsonia.com enter zip 71038.
