~Craft of the Month~

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

uhhhh no wait...


HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

i KNOW

HAPPY MARDI GRAS!!!



If you ever truly want to see how quickly time travels, just have children. I mean seriously I go non stop all day and yet i'm still searching for more hours in the day...gotta hurry up before i run out of time for this...uh oh i forgot to do that. And yes I realize that facebook and this blogging business takes up too much of my time too but it really is a moment of relaxation for me. Just try and watch Dexter to wind down at the end of the night!

We kicked off the New Year with friends visiting the lil beach shack and the celebration of visitors continues all year! The beach is a popular destination spot! Oh and I guess we are very much loved too...or at least the lil surfer girls are! February is just a short month...so that leads us straight to the Mardi Gras Mambo as we did the January Craft today on Fat Tuesday. The March Craft would have been easy, if only I had a shoe box! Oh Well...there's plenty of time until April, right?
