This is weird!

Good morning all! Okay, so at 12:57 this morning the phone rings. I rush to it thinking it's my dear hubby who I haven't spoken to in days. I really miss him, gotta get this phone. Who is it? Paypal, or so they say. There was a recording saying that they were Paypal calling for phone confirmation number. I'm like, what?!! So the recorder repeats itself. Please enter your phone confirmation number. Well, for one, it's almost one o'clock in the morning. What in the sam hill is Paypal going to be calling at this time of the hour for? And two, I don't know what they're talking about. So I hang up, disgusted that I had to wake from my sleep and dash to the phone for some nonsense. UGH!!! Anyway, I thought that was kind of weird and wanted to share with you all. Have a blessed day!

Snatch Joy!

Today is Wednesday, otherwise known as humpday, and boy am I glad. That means the weekend will soon be here, which always flys by, and the children will be back in school on Monday. WOOHOO!! I love being with my babies, but me being in class while they're on Easter break has not been easy. Instead of coming to my quiet home where I can study in peace, there's laughing children and playful noise. LOL, don't get me wrong, I love it; but there are some times when you need a little peace and quiet. Well, not this week. So I decided last night that I would not worry too much about studying for the test in American History II that I have tomorrow, and just enjoy spending time with my babies. We must snatch joy whenever possible. You all have a blessed day!

New projects

Good morning everyone! I've been up since 4 this morning so I figured what better time than to let you all see what I've managed to do get done lately. My littlest angel is a BIG fan of Fancy Nancy, I'm hoping you all know who she is. She's a little girl in books who always dresses and speaks fancy, which to her is French, while her family does not. Anyway, Anaya being the girly-girl that she is, loves to be fancy as well. So in the below pic you see the socks I bought her on the right, and the pretties I bought to make them more fancy. So here is the before,

and here is the after. Aren't they adorable?
She wore the ones with the big pink bows on them to school yesterday.

And this headband is the Valentine's headband I told you guys I made. See what happens when you purchase a new camera. You get to share things you were trying to share eons ago. LOL.



Anyway, I hope you guys have a wonderful day!!

Hello

Hello everyone, so glad to be back. I've missed talking to you guys. My hubby left on this past Tuesday, boo hoo :( we miss him so much. Wednesday I slipped down the stairs in our house and fell on my back, bumped my head and hurt my neck somehow. Had to go to the ER and get an x-ray. Found out nothing was broken, thank God, but I bruised my ribs. They hurt like heck too. I'm feeling better than I did a few days ago, but to sneeze and cough, is very painful. And wouldn't you know I've been doing a lot of that because I'm sick with a cold or sinus infection or something.

Wednesday night we also realized that we couldnn't get our front door to open. Serious fire hazard. So we called maintenance for that and they came out at 8:45pm to fix it. They have to come back because the windows in two of our bedrooms won't lock. This couldn't have gone on while hubby was here right, of course not. Let's wait till he leaves and then wreak havoc.

Anaya has decided she will not eat her food in school. I've been sending lunch and snack and she just will not eat it. Not that she's talking or anything, but she won't eat. So I may have to go sit with her after my class one day. She may be going through separation anxiety or something with her daddy gone and all.

I started school again this past Monday. Going for my bachelor's in special education.

I don't want to make this post any longer than it already is but I want to show you all a picture of the beauty my hubby got me for Valentine's Day.




Isn't she gorgeous!! Hubby found her at a thrift shop. We googled her, and believe she's a 1908 model. I'm going to have her restored.
I want to show you all the pics of the childeren but after another blogger having her daughter's pics taken from her blog and used for advertising w/o her permission, I'm kinda scared. If anyone knows how to put a watermark on the pics for me to post on here, please let me know so I can share.

I'm Still Here...

Just very busy. I've been spending a lot of time with my family instead of blogging and crafting lately. My dear husband will be deploying very soon, so we've been spending as much time with him as possible. I'm also trying to register for classes which start next week. Having trouble with the school I went to while in Korea sending my transcripts over. What a mess. Anyway, wanted to let you all know that I have not left blog land, just need to be with my hubby right now. Oh, good news though, I have a new camera and we found my daughter's charger. After I bought her a new one of course because that's always how it goes. So, the next time I get on, which won't be too long becuase as I told you hubby is leaving very soon, I'll have some pics to share with you all. And hello to my new followers :D

February Project

I still can't find the charger for the digital camera, and I really dislike having to post without pics, which is why I haven't been posting. But, I have to post my project for the Charming Girls Quilt Club. This month, thanks to our new family pet, I will be making some throw covers for my couch and loveseat. Seems she thinks that dogs are suppossed to be on the furniture. Well, that's a big no-no for me. It drives me bonkers actually! I will be going to Hancock's or maybe Hobby Lobby on tomorrow to get some fabric and commence to protecting my couch from the dog, and the dog from me for her being on my couch. I will also look for a charger for the camera so I can post pics because I still have to show you the cute things I made for Valentine's Day. Till then.
