Sold!!

For those of you who don't know I have a 2nd Blog, CraftyThursday.Blogspot.com. It is a joint project with my sister Ashley. (She is AWESOME by the way) We have put random projects on there such as; Tag Blankets, Binky Holders, Burp Clothes, Purses....... We have had SOO much fun being crafty and making stuff to put on there to sell. As time goes on we are getting more and more on there. This week I have Sold my first couple of things!! It feels so good to be creative and do something with that creativity. :)

Mary Higgins Clark!!

I have always loved Mary Higgins Clark..... What an author!! She has a way of telling stories and suspense that keeps me up all night. She is so good at keeping you guessing the WHOLE time, you think you totally have it but then she pulls a 180!! One story in particular is so good I forget every time who the serial killer is!! Why do I tell you this?? I got to meet her Wednesday, that's why!!

My Sister, my Mom and I went to Northridge High to listen to her and her daughter, Carol Higgins Clark, talk. We stood in line, waiting for a good seat to hear them answer questions, then we hurried out to get a good place line to wait to have them sign our books. 2 hours later we got to meet them, and it was well worth the wait :) Mary was Charming, funny and very smart. She talked about the importance of an education, always taking classes, always learning. My favorite line she said was about how she said her editor would read her work and tell her what needed to be fixed. One thing in particular bothered him, she had the killer under the bed and her editor said; No way, she would have heard him, put him in the closet!! She told him him, my bed is large and I wouldn't know if someone was under it. She then said, "At some point in every woman's life she fears or hopes that a man is under her bed." HILARIOUS!!

My first time meeting a celebrity was a total success and I can't wait to meet and/or stalk some more..... ;)


Doesn't she look amazing for 81!!

Love My Job!!

The end of the work was different, Cheryl (Ava's Mom and Baby Room wizard) pushed herself too hard after surgery and left early Wednesday. (there is a whole big story there but I won't tell it because it's long and not my story to tell) Anyways... back to the point, I worked in the Baby Room in the until after nap. I am usually out with the Pre-Schoolers which I LOVE!! It was nice for a change to be with the sweet little babies and get some one on one time. ps Cheryl, you are AMAZING ;) Being out with the bigger kids is constant work, there is always something you could be doing, cleaning, playing, dancing, reading etc. Being in the baby room is different in the sense that every once in a while there is down time when the babies are asleep and the toys are cleaned and you need to stay in there to listen for anyone waking up. I loved getting the chance to chat with the High School girls but I was also thinking, what should I be doing?!?! It didn't last long though. And it was also nice to have my bigger kids sneak in to come see me..... Marlee came in Thursday for a good portion of the morning and we read Purplicious and she checked out Ava's Apron (she wanted one just like it lol). I had some good picture opportunities, here they are:

Me and my afternoon buddies; Dayton, Grant, Jack, Sydney, Elizabeth, Abby, Isaac, James, Mara, Brigden.

This was our silly one. James, Grant, Jack, Sydney, Abby Elizabeth, Isaac, Brigden, Noah, Will and Addie. (Mindy, I couldn't get Dayton to stay after the first one!! lol)

Brigden wanted to try to feed Baby Annie so I gave him the cleaned food container and let him try, this is about as close as he ever got.

Me and Lilly, don't you love her little belly!? Her brother loved my Batman shirt and told me "I want that shirt!!" I had to promise that I would tell his Mommy where I got it.
