Jewelry

I had a couple of orders to keep me busy this afternoon, along with another unique project I worked on.  I love to figure out new ways to do things and come up with new designs - that is the best part of designing jewelry!

Boxcar Races

Ryan's pack meeting concluded with boxcar races tonight.  What a crazy time for the kids.  They loved it, but it was a madhouse!  All dens lined up in 2 lines consecutively.  There wasn't a winner or a loser, which was a good thing.  Ryan came in the house afterwards and proudly announced that they won first place.  Apparently he thinks they did.  I didn't bother to correct him.  :)

After the race, convinced he had won first place.  :)

Ryan's Den Meeting

Ryan had his den meeting last night at the library.  They built their box car for the box car race on Thursday night.  They are lucky to have Andrea as their den leader - she is so good with the kids and a great den leader!

Instagram

More Instagram photos to share.  It feels like I am hardly using my large camera at all anymore - I need to be better about that!  I do have to say, though, the Instagram app is just so fun to use on my phone! :)

Toast to a Healthy, Happy New Year:

My new favorite lunch combo - scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, and spinach and toast.  Yum!

You might have a Skylanders obession in your house if your ottoman looks like this:

Jewelry

I had only a couple of quick orders to complete this weekend.  Good thing, because it is time for some spring cleaning in this house.  It takes me forever (since having kids) to get through the entire house.  I start in January, with the goal of completing it before summer.  I told you it takes me forever! :)

I completed my first jewelry orders of the New Year.  Happy New Year!!!!

Lake of the Woods

The guys had a great time and caught a lot of fish on their fishing trip last week.  If Evan wrote this blog, he'd tell you all about it.  But he doesn't, so I'll just share a couple of pictures with you instead.  :)
