All Things Dr. Seuss

As most of you know, Dr. Seuss' birthday is tomorrow. My 2 younger kids and I will be celebrating it. Will you? We are having a mini birthday party with our friends in honor of this great children's author. I LOVE Dr. Seuss books, my kids love them too. Even my almost 2 year old son will sit the entire time I read them.

I love how his stories teach children to be awesome!

I also love all the cute ideas going around pinterest right now. Here are a few of my favorites...

Another cute jello idea from Simple Girl

Thing One and Thing Two handprint art from Mom Endeavors.

Aren't those so cute and clever? I hope you all enjoy tomorrow and all the awesomeness that comes when you celebrate Dr. Seuss style!

Why I Have Been MIA...

Sorry for the lack of posting these last few weeks. I have been dealing with some personal issues. Long story short, I went to my doctor with a problem and they gave me a medicine to "help" that problem and that "help" created many other problems. I have been on an emotional roller coaster.

It has not been fun. And has resulted in me not wanting to do anything. But I have stopped that medicine and feel myself getting better.

I promise I'm not gone. :)

But for now, you can go check out my photography blog, and follow it too (the follow button is on the bottom, I am still figuring out how to get it to the top). It's my place to share my photos without blowing up this craft blog. There only a few posts, I am working on getting more up. But you know this whole not wanting to do anything is really getting in the way. **wink**

I have some crafts to share with you too, I just gotta get the photos uploaded and ready.

Why Do I Love Photography?

Because I get to capture moments like these...

This shoot was a tough one, the kids didn't really want their photos taken, but we got some good shots. :)

I love the way this shoot turned out. SO many of them turned out so cute. But I only picked a few so I wouldn't go crazy. These boys some of my favorite! And she is one of my closest friends. :)

Time Off...

As of December 16, 2011 I have my Associates Degree in Social & Behavioral Sciences. As of that same date I am out of school for 9 whole months!! I can't switch to a University til the Fall,so I am now going to have a LOT of time on my hands.

To be honest, I am already bored.

My boredom is turning into laziness.

That laziness is resulting in me doing nothing crafty.

I think if maybe I can somehow organize all of my stuff I might be able to get back into a crafty mood. Right now, my craft supplies are in my bedroom closet and my sewing machine and some fabric is in my living room.

I don't have a craft room. My house is too small for me to even have a craft corner-which is why all my stuff is strewn about.

My goal during my time off of school is to correct that.

My son recently dumped all that fabric out and I have been too lazy to fix it) :)

This is what is first on my list. I figure that if I have something that looks cute i might make everything around it look cute too.

We recently got rid of our cable. Sniff sniff! Which means that I can take the tv out of our bedroom  (we liked watching the news while we got ready in the mornings). When the tv goes out, I will have a nice corner to turn into my own!

Now I just need to get my hands on a table or a desk. Anyone know where to get a cheap one?

I have big plans for that small corner!! If I can pull it off it's gonna be great!

Merry Christmas!!
