whew. I'm already tired!

I have also been extremely busy at work, making new catalogs, ads, and mailers for out products. And yard work. I love yard work, but seriously hate what it does to my hands. My nails are horrible.

Isn't Brody a fantastic little artist? he gets better every day!

Sorry this post is all over the place, isn't it? That's what happens when I don't post regularly...you get the remnants of my fried brain.

Do you want to know what happens when you try to work on your relationship with a farmer when they are short on help and during the busy time of planting? nothing. that's what! Back to the back burner the relationship goes....oh well. It's the life of a farmer, and I can't expect to come before that. I'll keep you informed when there is actually something to inform you on...

OH! and I almost forgot...because I don't think I'm quite busy enough yet, I have finally decided to open an etsy shop. It's not open yet, but soon....(hopefully) very soon...

Here's a sneak peek!

Dirty boys...

What happens when an almost 5 year old plays in the park for an hour, comes home only to play in the backyard for another half hour, then comes into the house BEGGING to borrow the camera to take some pictures of all the "rabbits"???






The rabbits must have run away. Instead, I found 18 self portraits of the dirtiest boy on the block!

Excuse me while I go run the bath water.

Ultimate Blog Party 2010

Wow, have I been a blogging SLACKER lately!! I have been meaning to post, really, but I just don't have time. work has been insane, my social life is picking up and it is BEAUTIFUL outside, so really, who can blame me for wanting to be out playing in the dirt instead of sitting in front of the computer?

Anyways, I am MAKING time today to do a little post, because it's the start of the Ultimate Blog Party!! Last year, I was still a pretty new blogger, and honestly the Blog Party was a little intimidating to me. But this year, here I am!! Ready to party! (That is, if working all morning and doing yardwork all afternoon sounds like a party to you. Maybe I'll watch a movie tonight, open a bottle of wine......)

Here I am......

I am a friend, a mother, a daughter, an office manager, a designer, an artist. This blog is where I let my hair down, share cute smiles of my almost 5 year old, talk about being in and out of love, and back in again......did I mention Adam is back?? well, he is. go figure... I'll do a big post on that soon, I promise...

First I gotta get back to work.

Ohh.... did I mention prizes???
Here's a few that I hope to win.
