Glass Tile Pendants

Take a look see....here are some glass tile pendants I finished up a couple of weeks ago. I'm currently working on some UT and A&M ones now.

I'm actually gonna be teaching how to make these at our Craft Small Group this Sunday. Now that I think about I think I'm supposed to teach the Scrabble Tile process....not too fond of the Scrabble tiles now that I've started working on the glass ones :)

I have a ton of sheets with little images that need to be cut. It shouldn't take long but I need to get it done before Sunday. This is gonna be a busy week. We will be hosting the Halloween Outreach at our house this Saturday and I have about 500 bags to fill with candy and rave cards....not to mention the 100 bags of cotton candy I need to pick up on Friday. I guess I should stop blogging and get to work, huh?

HA!

Thought I forgot about you, huh? Well, I'm still here and I'm getting the fire lit under me! I have a couple of friends and a cousin who are considering starting a blog and I started to get excited then I realized I ALREADY have a blog :)

I have a ton to post and can't wait to get started. We finally got a new camera that is super easy to export so, as soon as I get home I'm gonna get started.

In my defense I have been really busy...the hubby and I are leading a small group for our church and I'm also co-leading in two other groups AND we are a house host for our Halloween Outreach this year. Plus I will be playing volleyball again starting in Nov. I've also started making some really cool Scrabble and glass tile pendants to wear.

However busy my life seems right now I must say that I am happy. I've reconnected with a friend after almost 10 years. I wish the circumstances were different but I am grateful none-the-less. She has been diagnosed with Leukemia and is in search for a bone marrow match. She is like a sister to me and I plan on going to get tested to see if I am a match for her because even after all this time...I would still do anything for her.

I've also been talking with my younger brother more. He is such a talented photographer and I want to start using some of his images for my pendants. We actually have more in common than we thought even with the 6 year difference :)

All is well in my life...

Congratulations to my Cousin, Sed!!!

On Friday, Sept. 11, 2009 my cousin gave birth to her first baby! I totally hate that I couldn't be with her (she lives in California) or be with her now when she needs the most help (the weeks after having a baby) BUT her mommy is there now so I know she is doing fine.
I can't seem to upload pictures right now so I will attempt it again later tonight or this weekend.
Welcome baby Austin! I can't wait to see you!!! Congratulations Sedre and Christian.

Realizations

On my way home from work today I had a memory of my mom back when I was 15 and she was 35 (35 being the exact same age I am now). I realized I am nowhere near the same maturity level she was at my age. I still feel like I'm in my 20's and sometimes younger. I know I don't FEEL 35 yet I'm feeling like I should maybe consider "growing up". But why? Do we all REALLY ever grow up? I love the way I feel, I love feeling young around my kids. I still even listen to a top 40 radio station, mainly because I love the morning group (they are all in their late 20's) and by doing so I know what songs are "in" right now. I'm actually on Facebook and Twitter (which my husband thinks is childish btw), I even LOVE Twilight! I'm reading the whole saga again for the second time (you know getting ready for the sequal that will be out on Friday, Nov. 20th) SEE??!?!?! Is this stuff I should know??

Oh, well...maybe I'll consider maturing a year or two.....SIKE!!!

Another Go!

I'm gonna attempt this "Blog" thing....a-g-a-i-n. I love reading other people's blogs and I really want to make mine work. I just have to make TIME for it.

It's summer so the making TIME for it should be easier. If I can make it a habit during the summer then I think I can handle it for the rest of the year. My goal is to post at least once a day from wherever I am be it small & insignificant to huge and 'I can't wait to post this!'....the possibilities are endless!

Signing off for now

In The Motherhood

I love 'In The Motherhood' webisodes. I just went to YouTube and saw all the old episodes again. Check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkewJlZRKPo You can't help but laugh out loud. It doesn't hurt that I'm a fan of the ladies that come out in it - Leah Remini, Chelsea Handler & Jenny McCarthy

AND in March it will be a new series on abc http://itm.abc.go.com/. Although, the original ladies will not be the stars of the t.v. series, it looks like it will still be pretty funny. Megan Mullally from "Will and Grace", Cheryl Hines from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and Jessica St. Clair of "Worst Week". I think once you are use to characters in a movie or show it's kind of hard to adjust to the new face. Kind of like when you read a book and then go see the movie that is supposedly based on the book then regret going to the movie but never the book. Reminds me of a saying I once read (on a t-shirt-I think) "Never judge a book by it's movie".

Either way I'm going to give it a chance. Anything that has to do with parenting & kids usually delivers. Plus the episodes are based on real mom experiences which are a lot like mine and I'm sure many others out there.
