My Gypsy is Coming! My Gypsy is Coming!

I just got the email from HSN saying my Gypsy has been shipped! Yippie! I have been having dreams about all of the things I am going to create.

The emails said to expect delivery in 7-10 days, but I am hoping for maybe 2. One can wish!

A House Full of Sickies

That's pretty much what we are here at the House. The Husband got it first. Sneezes, coughs, stuffiness, general yuck. The Kid got it next. Add in a fever. Now it is my turn. Include sinus pressure and crankiness.

Hopefully we will all be on the mend soon.

Shameless Plug

I love love love the Beaba Babycook.



I have been making homemade baby food for The Kid and the Babycook makes is so easy. Put in some water. Put in chopped up food. Turn dial. Drain water. Blend steamed food. Easy-peasey-lemon-squeezy.

I am making zucchini as I type. So far The Kid has liked everything I made except green beans. Just like his Daddy.

If you thought about making your own baby food, you can't go wrong with the Babycook. Highly recommended! You can search the web for places to purchase in your area.

Who's out there?

I have no idea if anyone has found this blog, or if anyone I told about it is actually checking it out. I know it is a work in progress, but I really hope to get it up and going to show off some of my crafty crafts. I am working on getting a craft space in my place. It is hard because there is no spare room and I have a 8 month old baby who is now getting into everything so I can't leave my scrapbook stuff out. I am contemplating making the dining room into my craft space. We'll see if The Husband goes for that.

In the mean time, I am searching people's blogs for inspiration and ideas. There is always some great blog candy out there that I would love a chance to win. (another reason for starting up a blog)

If anyone has some helpful ideas our thoughts about my simple blog please leave a comment and let me know!

A quiet house

is so nice. I should take a nap. Nope, I am browsing the internet looking for scrapbooking items I need. hee hee

The heat is on!

Woo hoo! The heat is fixed! Which is great because it is really cold today. There was even some snow for a bit.

The Kid and I went to the Mommy-and-Me movie today. We saw Couples Retreat. It was cute. We had a good day.

The end

It is really cold

We finally had to turn the heat on today, only to find out it is broken. The replacement part should hopefully be here tomorrow. Poor Kid is freezing. I had to borrow a little heater to warm his room for him during the night. He is in there now all comfy and cozy and sleeping away. It is so hard to believe The Kid will be 8 months old on Friday!

Speaking of The Kid and cold weather...his swim class was canceled today because the pool was so cold. The make up class won't be until January! Wut? That's far away. I hope The Kid doesn't forget how to do the 4x100 by then.

Still waiting for my Gypsy. I need to get a scrappin'

Ordered the Gypsy Bundle from HSN

Can't wait to get it. I have really been anxious to get back to scrapbooking and crafting. Having a 7 1/2 month old has limited the time I have to pull out all of my supplies and get creative. Right now I don't have my own craft space, so I have to unpack and pack up when ever I want to do something. That's hard during the day when I am playing with and chasing around a silly rolling baby. I am just too tired at night to pull anything out just to put it all away again without really completing a project.

That's why the Gypsy will be fabulous! I can create and design whenever I have some spare time and then when I am ready, I can pull out the supplies I need and get crafty. Yippie! I have been watching a lot of videos and tutorials online so I will be ready when it arrives. Did I already say I can't wait until I get it?

The end

Here's my blog

So here it is. My blog. I have no idea how often I will be here or how often I will post. I wanted to start something up so I could have a place to jot down my thoughts and possibly show off some crafty creations.

I am new to the blogging thing. I need to figure out how to post photos and change my format and all that good stuff.
