NEW DSi

Today Faith got the new DSi. This thing is pretty cool. Here is what it can do. Snap photos (two camera lens) with built in camera, edit and send pictures to friends, play back music, and browse the internet. It also does all the stuff like the old ones but you can download games. It has a place for a SD card. Well on to why we posted some pictures. We decided to decorate it with some vinyl. On the top it has her name and a crown. Then we put some hearts on the inside.

A New Tote

Well the kids have been away since Monday. I don't have a lot to show for all the time I have had to myself. Here is one item that I do have to show. This is a tote that I made for myself. The first picture is the inside liner. When I saw this fabric I just knew that I had to have it and make something with it. Well the more that I looked at it I got thinking that it had a lot of white in it and was afraid that it would get dirty quickly. So the Christine at the fabric store showed me this new stuff that you iron onto the fabric. It is a lot like contact paper and heat makes it stick to the fabric. I really do like how it turned out. Then I thought that I would try using my Cricut and make a K and put onto the plastic. In the picture the K looks black but it is brown. We will see how long it stays. I made some travel size shampoo bottles for Faith with a F on them and it has had so much water on it and the letter looks just like it did the day I put it on. I hope to get some scrapbooking and card making done tomorrow. Maybe I will have some pictures of some cards to put on here tomorrow.

Our Snow Day

A couple of Fridays ago we got a little bit of snow and didn't have to go to school. Here are some pictures from that day.

Will throwing snowballs.

These two pictures got in the wrong order. In the picture below Faith is holding the sled while Will cleaned all the snow off the truck and onto the sled. Well Faith stood there for a while for him to do this and let it get full and then threw it all back up on him. I wish I would have gotten a picture of that. The picture above is after she threw it on him. She ran as soon as she threw it on him. It was very funny!

Here is a picture of Faith right after she threw the sled of snow on Will.

Will thought that he really needed to clean the snow off the truck......

Will's Long Hair

Here is a picture of Will's long hair. He is going to go and get a hair cut on Sunday. On Saturday he is going to his teachers wedding. She wants to take a picture with all the students after the wedding. Don't want him in a picture with his shaggy hair.

More Baby Gifts..

Here are some more gifts that I made for a friend that is having a boy. Another wipes case, and 2 burp cloths. I also made a card with the same colors as the fabric.

Gifts for my Niece

Here are a couple of gifts that I made for my soon to be niece Gracie. She is going to be my first niece. I have enjoyed making her some things. I have made her 4 burp cloths and then a travel baby wipe case which you can see in the first picture. I have a few more things on my mind that I want to make for her. This was the first wipes case that I did. It did take a little longer than I had thought but I had fun making it. Then there is 2 burp cloths that match the same fabric as the case. I gave these at a shower on Sunday. I have another shower to go to in April.

Got some cleaning done!!!!!

The weather has been so nice and it made me feel like doing some spring cleaning. So I decided that I would clean out my closet. It took about 5 hours. Here is a picture of the clothes that I am getting rid of. I could not believe this huge pile of clothes that I do not ware. About half are clothes that are too big and the rest I just don't like how they fit or the style. I think that when I purchase more clothes I will be thinking a little more before putting the money on the counter. I'm almost embarrassed at the the extra clothes that I have. But it does feel good to get rid of them. A couple of items still have tags. I wonder are you needing to clean out your closet? Will you be surprised by what you find? I can't even tell you how I had it all stored. Because in the end I didn't have much storage space that was emptied.

Here is the after. I still need to go through my shoes and purses.
