Christmas Gift Tags

For the past few years I have gravitated towards a black and white wrapping paper theme for Christmas. I just love it! We'll be using these cards this year and I think they will be just perfect for our gifts. I might make a few photo gift tags too. Do you have your gift tags yet???
I can make them to coordinate with any of the Christmas card designs or just email and tell me what colors you'd like and I'll send you what I've got to match. $12 for a set of 24

This kid is a rockstar...

Graham did awesome today! Thank you so much for all your prayers and well wishes! I'm so glad that this week is coming to an end. It's been a long one. Did I mention that The Baker was out of town when this happened? He left Sunday and Graham broke his wrist Tuesday night. Once I called him and told him it was broken and that Graham was really upset about not getting to play basketball, he got in the car and drove home. He is SUPER DAD! He got here at 3:30 am and we were all sitting in the living room like it was the middle of the afternoon. I am so glad he came home because I had no idea we would be spending the next few days at doctor's visits and the hospital! It really is amazing how fast kids bounce back from these things. Surgery this morning and by mid afternoon he was already figuring out how to build Lego sets with one hand. To top off this crazy day, Nora had a dance recital tonight. Graham stayed home with the grandparents and The Baker and I went to watch our little dancer. She had so much fun and was so cute and I didn't get a single picture because it was outside and it was dark and I think I need some sort of super complicated fancy lens for my camera.

I'm going to take a day or two to catch up and then I will put the website back up. Thanks for being so patient! If you have an order that got delayed by my crazy week and you need it right away PLEASE email and I will get it to you!

Temporarily Closed

My poor little Graham broke his wrist last night at the first basketball practice. He was so super tough and barely shed a tear UNTIL the urgent care doctor announced that his basketball season was over. The poor guy. He's really been looking forward to playing b-ball with his friends. We visited the orthopedic surgeon today and found out it was a pretty bad break and he will be having surgery on Friday morning to reset it and put a pin in. Please say prayers for him. He's very nervous about it. Mommy is too.
I've decided to close down the website for a few days. At this point I already have enough orders to keep me busy for a week or two and I really need to concentrate on Graham. If you have already placed an order do not worry....I will get it done! I'll reopen the website as soon as I catch up and my little man is feeling better. Thanks for understanding!

Melamine orders

Now that Christmas season is officially here please make sure you allow extra time when placing your plate, bowl, platter and tray orders. I am noticing that my last few orders have taken a bit longer than usual to arrive. Please expect to wait 2 weeks or so for your order to come in.

My kids are stinkin' cute and every once in a while I can take a decent picture.

I have incredibly beautiful children. Yes, I do. My parents have a really pretty backyard. The Baker gave me a great camera last year that I still don't know how to use. I decided to put those three things together this weekend and here is what happened...

The pic above is my favorite...he's so sweet!

So pretty...so sassy!

Desperate Homeschooler

I'm sure there are home schooling families out there that are deeply offended by the Desperate Housewives story line about homeschooling. I am thinking it's pretty funny. If I had a house keeper, there are days when I would happily scrub floors so she could do the teaching. I haven't had a wrestling match with Graham or tortured any of Nora's dolls (yet) but I totally get what Gabby said last night. I too always looked forward to teaching my kids to do certain things...like ride bikes and bake cookies and put on make-up. I never dreamt of or looked forward to the day when I would be teaching them phonics and science and multiplication. We are surviving though and I think we are handling it much better than the family that lives on Wisteria Lane.
And yes, I watch Desperate Housewives. I know it's a filthy little show...oh well.
