Whats in a name?

I have decided to start using my talents of sewing and creativity and try to make some extra money.
I am very exctied to take Jack on his first plane ride to Oklahamoa in May so it got me thinking about fun stuff to keep him busy on the plane. 
I looked around for stuff and its all pretty expensive but after searching and thinking i have found a few things that look fun so i made them myself. 
I still need to do some tweaking in the desgins but i like them so far. Everything will be made out of old clothes, crib sheets, random material in my house so cost effective. 


Jack calls these garages
Garages folded up ready to go
I pod nano case to hold headphones.
Crayon wallet!

Now i just need to figure out a name for my "shop" that will be the name of the Etsy shop and when i do craft fairs too.

Fun times

Tonight was the My Omaha Mommies 4th birthday party.
Tons of fun. I won the award for " most likely to have a reality t.v. show" im not sure if there telling me im  a drama queen or just have a really interesting life. But hey if is a contest im gonna take some bitches out. Random i know, i have been watching Bridal Plasty about Brides that get plastic surgery and a dream wedding if they win.
I also won a 10 person dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise. We have never been there but i think it would fun, hard to narrow it down to just 10 people though.
Its nice to be around supportive moms who im sure are sick of my bitching about monster boy and husband but sometimes you really just have to get it out somehow.
I love going on the playdates and have become very close to a few of the moms which is great for Jack too.

I love Shutterfly for the Holidays!!!!

I love Shutterfly!!!! I am a photo junkie and love to have different ways to send family pictures of Jack. He is almost 3 and alot of family live out of town so don't get to see him much. I have made cards that are very easy to make at http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery.
Last year i made a photo book for my mom that had some of my favorite pictures of the past few years in it and already plan on doing that every year.
This years holiday cards i am very excited that Shutterfly has a card that i can upload multiple pictures to form a tree. I will be using the picture tree Christmas found on  http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards.  With Shutterfly i am able to edit the wording and even the font. I am not  a fan of the cards that say Merry Christmas and are not changeable. Not with these ones!  I can write Happy Holidays, Winter, or whatever else i come up with.
I also  really like Joy Love Story Holiday 5x7 photo card as well. They are larger so easier to see and yet simple enough to get the point across.
With having so many family members out of town i love the idea of the cards that tell a story. You add a picture and then can add a caption telling what the child has been doing all year. They are easily edited as well at http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/holiday-story-cards

The holidays are just right around the corner and the awesome thing is that Shutterfly is offering 20% off all holiday cards just go to http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery

Happy Holidays!!!
