New baby
I have not had a chance to sit down and blog in a while. I have been busy with this crazy life of mine. I guess laziness and sleepiness can be blamed on the lack of posts too. I have been a busy bee preparing for the Christmas season making bows because I am hoping to get a spot at the hospitals Christmas sale. I need to remember to call. Most craft fairs are booked far in advance, so hopefully I can still get in.
In new baby news: My best friend had her baby last night. He is so adorable so tiny and so pink. He loves to cuddle. I got to hold him he is so precious. I then came home and spent time with my kiddos. They are just a bunch of loud kids. Ariana is always screaming her head off, and Jovan yelling at his DS, lol. I made myself some yummy rice that I made from chicken we got from Juan Pollo. It was so delicious. I got sick a little after I ate it, so sadly I will not be taking it for lunch tomorrow. The last thing I want to do is get sick at work.
We are thinking of buying a closet organizer, I have seen some at Lowe’s. At our apartment we had a walk in closet with two rows of hanger rods, I want to try and recreate that here. I am sure it would not be that expensive. We badly need it because our clothes are exploding out of the close. I cant even see all of the clothes, I have to pull them apart to see whats wedged in between. I think I need that show Clean House, lol. That would be nice, I LOVE the redesign and organization they provide.
I have been procrastinating with everything not only because I have been busy but because, I have caught up watching all my shows on Hulu. I am completely caught up with The Office, Parks & Recreation, Bones and White Collar. Whew it only took 2 days, lol. We were up late into the night catching up, it was fun though and well worth it.
Its getting late so I am going to watch some TV and dose off to sleep. LOL

Halloween Recap
It was crazy on Halloween. Jovan decided that he would draw on his wall while I was taking Ariana’s pictures. Ugh, we almost did not go trick or treating. He only went to about 12 houses, the excitement of eating the candy was too much for him, lol. We came home around 7:30ish. There were no trick or treaters on our street, so no one came looking for candy.
Ariana enjoyed a nice walk. She was all game, she started getting fussy. We stayed close to home so the drive home was not bad at all.

We will be watching Michael Jackson’s “This is It” tonight. I am super excited. I knew that I wanted to watch the movie as soon as I saw the first preview. The more previews that I see on TV the more I know it’s going to be a cool movie. I have always enjoyed his music and his performance style, so I am positive it is going to be great. I am kind of worried that we will be home really late, the movie starts at 9pm. We have so much that we have to do. Have I mentioned that I have not gotten the kids Halloween costumes, lol.
I am terrible, every year we always wait until the last minute. I know the boy wants to be some kind of Star Wars guy and we will be making the girl a little black kitty. I made a black tutu for her a while back, I can make her a black headband with little ears and call it a day. She does not walk yet, so I will make her a removable tail. It’s going to be so cute.
I was thinking of having a Halloween party at the house, but it is a complete mess. We got the new couches but we have not really decorated. I need to fill two frames with 5 x 5 prints. I have not really looked for a picture printer to do that. I am hoping to have everything in order by Thanksgiving, because I would love to have a small get together. Christmas will be at our house this year and I am also having new years at my house too. I hate having to go somewhere else. I went to Ikea and I saw the cutest Christmas décor, I am in love. I think the colors will be gold and burgundy. That will look so nice with our color scheme.
I better get to work, I have a ton of bills stacked up.
Crafty
I have been in such a mood lately. I have had some bad headaches this past week. I am also feeling crafty. Eric does not like it when I feel crafty because I need supplies, I need ribbon, rhinestones, tulle and lots of pretty things. I recently went on a supply run for ribbon for my x-mas headbands that I posted yesterday. I also picked up some crochet headbands. I love all of the colors except for the salmon one, ew. I have several projects that I will be working on this week.
I am going to be preparing for a craft show that I have coming up. I also have to take pictures of my products for the shop and for a craft fair that I want to get into. I am glad that the screen the entries because a lot of times at a craft fair, people just buy stuff from overseas and claim that they made it. That is my biggest pet peeve. They could at the very least is attempt to change it or make it look better! Rant over, lol.
I guess the longest task is to take pictures, I like to take nice pictures for my shop (in the past they have been kind of tacky). I found the perfect spot to get great lighting without the flash in the corner of my living room. I am so happy that I have finally found the “secret” to great pictures. I think that is what makes people “click” and decide if they will browse the shop or not.
We spent Saturday shopping for supplies, I was supposed to work on the headbands and bows on Sunday but I did not get a chance to. My mom and brother came over and we cooked fish and shrimp. Yummy. We got so full, after dinner we had Coldstone ice cream. Eric and I shared an Oreo overload, man it was so chocolaty. Later on in the day we just lounged around. I waited for the new family guy to come on, but it didn’t because of the game bleh! After a while I got bored and went to the room to lay down. I was so tired I started getting a really bad headache. I took some Tylenol and fell asleep.
