Today I will EMBRACE.....

The fact that I am not perfect. I really really really want to be but the fact of the matter is I am not.

WOTY

As January begins the New Year I find myself thinking about my New Years resolutions. This year I am more goal oriented. I don't want to change things as much as I want to perfect and evolve. My friend was telling me that people actually choose a word of the year or WOTY. I thought this was a nifty idea and something I wanted to try. After much thought I picked the word EMBRACE. The dictionary defines embrace as follows: to take or receive gladly or eagerly; accept willingly. This year I am going to try and take things as they come and embrace them, willingly.
Since no one really reads this blog I think I may use it as kind of an online diary, checking in with my word of the year and sharing how I have tried to apply it.
I opened my Etsy shop this year and will try and post projects as well.
Happy New Year!!

Rainbow Cupcakes!

We made rainbow cupcakes today! I have seen these A LOT all over the internet lately so I HAD to try them. I knew the kids would love them. We used Wilton's icing colors.

Headbands!

Keely and I have been making headbands. I have tons of felts, fabrics and buttons so this has been a good project to use up some of my many,many supplies!
I am thinking about actually opening my Etsy shop!!

Note Birds

I made these little guys after I saw a similar thing in a couple different catalogs. The kids and I have been having some fun with them sending little notes back and forth to each other!

Warm Glow...

I made this during the Christmas holiday but somehow the picture got lost in my library until now. I thought it would still be ok to post since it is not really a Christmas decoration.
I love the warm glow it casts. There are tiny battery operated lights inside along with tinsel ribbon and a few snowflakes. I am sure it could be made to suit any holiday.

Tiny mustache fun!

I made some tiny mustache's on a stick. I just love little mustache's all of a sudden. Not gross hairy ones, paper and plastic and sticker type ones!
