Happy Leap Day!

Today is Leap Day and it only comes around every four years. I want to take a moment and reflect on where I was four years ago and where I'm at today.

Four years ago (man I can't believe how fast it went) Maya was 16 months old and we took her to Sesame Street Live! Can you tell she LOVED Elmo. Also, you can barely see her boo boo by her bangs. That would be FIVE stitches from falling down in a store at Aurora Outlets. Hey, I never claimed to be "mother of the year". This was just a preview of her clumsiness. Also, we were about to get some very exciting, life changing news. We were expecting a second bundle of joy. *tears*

Today in 2012. I am a proud owner of a business named after my two joys. I get to live my dream and share my passion everyday. Although sometimes overwhelming, I LOVE my life and my family. I'm one lucky lady!

Today we are making a Family Time Capsule. We will put in it a photo of today, every body's stats of height and weight, our weekly routine and some current events. In four years, on February 29, 2016, we will open it and talk about all the changes and the memories. I encourage you to take some time out of your day today to create this memento with your kids. I don't know about you but excited to see what happens in the next four years!

My first Pinterest project.

Seems like everyone is pinning on Pinterest. Why not browse through great ideas and steal them! Brilliant! On the flip side I feel a little overwhelmed looking at everything. As a creative person already...it kind of adds to the chaos already in my head. I did, however, spot this really cute

streamer project.

I don't know about you but I'm a project starter not a project finisher. I have tons of unsewn fabrics, unfinished scrapbook pages...oh and I started crocheting for a minute. I can show you my half finished dish cloth. *sigh* So it seems that Pinterest would be fun for some people but for me its a reminder of things I would never finish. BUT then I did. I made it! I made something.

After I decided that I was not buying the Japanese silk ribbon it called for, I made an alternative purchase.

This is the before.

The results!

I'm glad that I finished this project and own a sense of completion. It feels good.
