My baby's grown...

Let me preface this post with the fact that Im not a mopey bum all of the sudden, BUT...

 Is it normal for me to be so broken hearted that Estee is growing up. I look back and cant figure out how we suddenly got to pre-school. When we dropped her off today I couldn't fight back the tears...and I realized that it might be a good thing that sister wasn't here for this. This little girl has my heart. I don't know how you mothers do it...I think loving is one of the hardest things in the world. Leaving you vulnerable and susceptible to heartbreak...I can image that parenting is the greatest example of this (I know "it's worth it" you're telling me right now). Anyway, I love this girl...all I had was my phone to take photos on (these are from her pre-school orientation)

 Such a big girl...I have to remind myself that she is 3 not 13.

I cant get enough of this face...how cute is she laughing at herself in the one below?

Blue...

I have the blues a little bit today...I miss sister REAL bad, I made my Pookie cry yesterday, Im working every second, my house looks like a felt bomb exploded, and did I mention I made my Pookie cry (I put her buns in time out yesterday, and it made me feel ALOT worse than it did her)  But alas...a light at the end of a dark tunnel, I spotted a fresh off the factory line box of peeps as I was checking out  at JoAnn's. 

I talked to sister this morning and she was just leaving Turkey...she is having the best time (and missing her girlies) and taking beautiful photos I am sure.

Mine and mine...

I cant tell you how long I have wanted a pair of these little darling Marc Jacobs mouse shoes...a long time. Hey, dont make fun of me. I love these shoes...every time a slip them on my feet I want to re-create the first scene in Pee Wee's big adventure when he has the bunny slippers on. I got both these lovelies at the Chloe Lane sale yesterday...did  I mention they were 80% off?  "Of course they were...look at them" you are saying to yourself right now " and why would you ever buy 2 pair of them" but I love them so much. I also bought boyfriend a very fancy Moschino suite that he looks very handsome in...because every girls crazy for a sharp dressed man. And, maybe 2 other pairs of fancy shoes and other whatnots...for 80% Why wouldn't I? 

I also wanted to thank everyone who ordered a Nie recovery headband from me...so great of you.

I dont know what to say...

Click here... I cant handle this story...I dont know this darling girl but I know her equally as darling sister. This broke my heart into a million pieces and I cant stop thinking about her and her family. A paypal account has been set up for donations. 

To try and help as much as I can, I will be marking down this headband to $10.00 on my Etsy shop and donating all of the money to the family...so you get a cute headband and a good feeling!

New shiz fo shizzle...

These are a few of the new items that I put in the Etsy shop for fall. 

We had so much fun at Education week. Other than that nothing much has been going on. I missed boyfriend and Im so sad that everyone is gone. Oh, ya and...a few days ago my phone stopped working and when I would try to make a call it would forward me to Verizon, I couldnt figure it out, so I called Adam and he said that he set up my phone so that whenever I go over my minuets it shuts off my service. Needless to say I was so annoyed. A few hours later he came home with a new iphone for me. Such a cute surprise after I pulled my foot out of my mouth for being bugged with him! Thanks sugar plum!

Why is he out of my life???

Cant wait...

So...take out Simonie and put sisters face there. Amy, my cute Aunt Lane, Mom Grandma and I will be staying at the BYU dorms for BYU education week. My mom, grandma and aunt lane have been going every year since the early 80's and Amy and I will be staying with them this year...even though the dorms are about a 1/2 block form my house. Cant wait to be with these fancy ladies and do ALL kinds of dippy things. I will even have my shop closed for a week so I can just relax and have fun! 

Hey big boy...stop looking at my blog...

So...I have decide I will not use plastic bags anymore, which is going to be really hard but I know it is something that I have to do. I have been trying to do this for a while now so I think I am ready, Im sure I wont be perfect but Im going to try my very hardest. I love that some stores are starting to have the little cloth bags for you to buy...although,  they are probably being sewn up by a 2 year old in China...you cant have it all.

And...I DO NOT sew, except for the fabric on my onesies...I never really learned. So I decided I was going to try to sew a few halloween pillows (being that it is around the corner and all). I had no idea what I was doing but I think it turned out pretty cute for being the first thing that I have acctually sew. Hopefully I will get better and be able to sew these for every holiday!

It's TOO bright

This is not a joke...my man can NOT keep his eyes open in a photo. The other night I tried to take a photo of him and he didn't have his eyes open in one of them (don't mind the scary ones with me in them)...He was however very proud to tell me "I had one eye open in that one" HA! I was rolling.

Guess who again...

The people use to tell me and sister that we look just like this girl. I think this one might be too easy but a headband to the first person to guess right! So remember how I got a new computer and was so excited...well, my free internet was mysteriously  interrupted and so I havent had the internet in what feels like forever...I will get it on the 11th thank goodness. Not much going on...just getting caught up on the etsy shop and obsessing over the department 56 snow village halloween...I just got these two the other day and I have two other ones that I got a while ago. I might have a little Rosemary in me...I will have a full blown village before halloween, that is a fact. Ya, its August and Im already thinking about Halloween...may or may not have done a craft or two and I have already put some items in the shop. I like to be prepared.

Breaking Dawn??? Yes, I might have gone to the wallymart at 2:00 am on the day it came out (boyfriend came with, and was thrilled to be a part of the action) and picked up my copy. I liked it. I have to get something off of my chest...I LIKE Edward. (or if you are adam "that damn "Leonard"  is ruining my life")...seriously he said that.

Welcome to the 21st century (that is to be read like a robot)...

Just like a dipster me and my man took photo booth pictures of ourselves with my computer that I got today (I look like krazy eye killa in them)...Im so happy to have a new computer and the internet at home. Most people wouldn't consider that a luxury but I haven't had it for so long that I forgot what it is like.  dlisted 24/7. 

As far as that photo on the previous post, Im rolling at some of the guesses! HA! Of corse my brother Walker got it, he had that poster in his room and when he was at school my mom cut of the bottom part of the poster, cant say I blame her...Elizabeth is stacked. Anyway, she was the macho man Randy Savage's lady friend and my mom and I were talking about that poster and I thought I would blog it. 

So, Im mostly caught up on all of my Etsy orders...Thank goodness, and I owe it all to my mom who at the drop of a hat flew out to help me! Thank you so much mummsie, I couldn't have done it without you! (REALLY)

Guess who???

A free headband to the first person who knows who this is...

Oh dear...

Hi,  just wanted to tell everyone to go to etsy.com (and if I knew how, I would make it so you could just click that, sorry) any time after 1:00pm eastern time today and scroll down the page just a bit ...Lou and Lee are the Etsy featured seller for the next couple of days.

Naa Noo naa noo...

My man got his new iphone (he took these photos on it)...turns out he's a bit of a nerd (i love him so much) He might have been playing some kind of guitar hero type game on it and maybe even pretending to be a D.J.... (he loves it so much) Anyway, these are from last night, Adams grampy turned 80 and I made my best batch of cupcakes to date (in my opinion) would give my left leg for one right about now.

Bomb shiz...

So, last night I went with Adam, Sister, Sarah and her man to the Andrew Bird concert and it was so perfect! Love him...this is the 3rd time I have seen him in concert and he never disappoints! He is a one man band pretty much, too talented. The only problem I have is ALL the people...cant stand it, Im socially awkward anyway but to be all smushed up against these sweaty strangers spilling there bevies all over me, with their butt cracks hanging out, and their fedora hats...I didnt know if I would make it out alive! I did though and all in all it was a fun night.

Cholitas...

They may not look like much but, I have wanted these little darlings since the summer after high school but back then I thought $150.00 was just ridiculous for a pair of shoes (what a difference a decade will make)...and then poof...they were out of my life forever, no where to be found (except for a few beat-down pairs on ebay every now and then) Well, there back and they are mine. I LOVE these shoes. They are perfect to me...for everything. Love the wood carved heel and the crochet...and the name CHOLITAS...makes me want to shave off my eyebrows and pencil them in. Can you tell I have nothing to post?

Front page!!!

This little number was on the front page of Etsy yesterday! For some reason I get so excited for that. Anyway, my mom and dad have been in town and it has been so much fun. We took the girls to Liberty land today...kind of fun/not quite sure. It was fun to be with my family, my cousin Katie and her cute girls and my cousin Daniel, Amy , the girls and Mom and Dad were there so that was REALLY fun...but it kind of seemed like the rides were all busted up. 

4th of julizzle...

1st off..Im a blogging fool..2nd off Me and my man know how to P-A-R-T-Y!

For instance...look at boyfriend weezing the juice (tigers blood of corse) at the Snowie stand at the provo shindig. Snowie brand stands are by far the best...something about the ice, a definite cut above the competition.
Adam, John Beesley and our nephew Christian at a b-b-q. We really made the rounds this night.


No, Im not 81/2 months pregers.

They're in Bagas...

Thats what My Pookie said when Unkie asked her where Mommy and Auntie went...Begas! So, I resized I didn't take ANY photos on the trip and for some reason I thought I took a million. Really I took NONE. Crazy. Anyway, I guess thats what happens when you are partying it up with pops and sisty 24 hours a day. Dad was so cute and treated us like queens. 

Here we are, the 3 biggest party animals in Vegas/I dont think dad saw the sun set once (he goes to bed at like 6:00)! HA
Greasy bangs must have been the theme of the day...im going to say that it was the flash that is making my bangs (and my face for that matter) so fugster.
You cant really tell but that is sister Im pointing at blowing on the dice at the craps table...Im dead serious.

Winna...

O.K. the winner of the giveaway is Ashly...so just send your address to louandlee{at}gmail.com. Congrats! And I have to wish my sweet little Simonie a very happy first birthday. I love her so much, she's something special. Such a special little spirit.

We had tons of fun in Las Vegas...I will try to post some photos tonight.

CONTEST!

Hopefully I will get lucky while I'm in Vegas........and so will you...

All you have to do is go to my Etsy shop and leave your favorite item number in the comments (it can be anything) and I will have my main squeeze pick a winner at random when I get back on July 4th! Good luck...

whooddy whooo...

 Amy and I are off to Las Vegas tonight for the annual Daddy-Daughter weekend and I CANT wait. This is one of my favorite times of the year. Nothing makes me happier than eating good food, laying out (not in that order preferably),THE BEST shopping and my Dad so it makes for the perfect trip! We have so much fun every year and if I can pull Amy away form the craps table for a few hours to go shopping with me I will be as happy as a toad. Last year she was so pregers she was going to bust any day and so it was just Daddy, and I and he dropped my A off at the Caesars and I shopped by myself for over 10 hours, I was pretty happy doing that but it will be so much better to have her with me! Wish us luck!

Nizzle shizzle...

I thought I needed a few new onesies for the shop...Here are a few of them. Just thought I would share. I think the good thing about these onesies is that they can be for boys and girls. Thats about it.

Welp...

I finally did it...Sewed the needle all the way through my finger...and in a moment of shock grabbed the string that was still threaded and yanked it out. Unfortunately I couldn't get a good photo of the exit wound. This hurt like a mutha and it doesn't look a tenth of how band it hurts. It was bound to happen some time. I cant tell you how many scars I have from my glue gun, like serious for the rest of my life scars. The needle not only went all the way through the finger but it split the nail all the way across.
