What I want for my B-day

TIME TO BEAD!!! I am going to make time today in between the laundry, dishes, meals, diapers, dentist appointments and pets to bead. It has been too long since I've been able to post any new projects... I'll have a couple of hours at Madaleine's nap time if I stay on track for the day! Hopefully more to come later today!

Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain on Earth?

No he is dead!

Food for thought

This is the fairy tale that should have been read to us when we were little:

Once upon a time
~~~~~~~~
in a land far away,
~~~~~~~~
a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess
~~~~~~~~
happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.
~~~~~~~~
The frog hopped into the princess' lap and said: ' Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.
~~~~~~~~
One kiss from you, however,and I will turn back into the dapper, young prince that I am
~~~~~~~~
and then, my sweet, we can marry
~~~~~~~~
and set up housekeeping in your castle
~~~~~~~~
with my mother,
~~~~~~~~
where you can prepare my meals,
~~~~~~~~
clean my clothes, bear my children,
~~~~~~~~
and forever feel grateful and happy doing so.
~~~~~~~~
That night,
~~~~~~~~
as the princess dined sumptuously
~~~~~~~~
on lightly sauteed frog legs
~~~~~~~~
seasoned in a white wine
~~~~~~~
and onion cream sauce,
~~~~~~~~
she chuckled and thought to herself:
~~~~~~~~
I don't think so.

New baby skill

Look what Madaleine has figured out how to do... The next pictures will likely be of the bumps on her head. She has been up on that chair 20 times in a row now! Stunning.

My New Favorite Bracelet

I love this bracelet. It took pretty long to assemble but it was worth it. The pictures don't do it justice at all! Swarovski crystals and jumprings galore! I plan on making one in black, clear crystal and a pale blue soon! I did the browns for the fall season!

Summer memories

Six flags, 4th cookout, fireworks, birthday parties, movies, swimming, sleepovers, go-carting, friends, ice cream, cousins, parks, up north, beading, bowling, popcorn party, action territory, diry house, fun...

Left Behind

Madaleine is missing her brothers and sisters while they are at school! At least she has cute outfits! I am loving the little hats that come with them! I don't think she is so enthused about them. They get ripped off as soon as she can get her hands on them!

For Wendy

I made this simple charm bracelet for my friend Wendy. She is a nurse and volunteers for the local rescue squad. I had originally given her the medical charm set to make her own creation but, took them back to do it for her! She is at home recovering from surgery and has her kids waiting on her "hand and foot" for the next couple of weeks... I have another project waiting to be made for her with all her L'bri charms she earned but I may put that on the back burner because my box of goodies was delivered today so I can get started on a bracelet I have been dying to make! Sorry Wendy!

I LOVE School

My favorite time of year has come! School time! These are some pictures of the kids going on their way! Many of my friends home school. I feel blessed that we have such a wonderful school to send our kids to. If that wasn't the case I would probably be doing it too. Now, time to catch up on all the neglected projects, scrapbooks and stamps. Oh yeah, I suppose I should clean something as well!
