I'm Back

First let me apologize for my extended absence! I have not blogged for several weeks! Man has it been crazy busy lately!!!

My family flew home to be with our families over the holidays. That ended us up in the hospital over Christmas as my youngest became severely dehydrated and needed IV fluids to replace all the fluids she had lost the past few days thanks to a flu bug! Then upon returning home from the hospital, I got the bug and was down for over 48 hours.

It was blistering cold the whole 2 weeks we were back in the midwest...so we were so happy to finally be back in Hawaii in the warm weather.

We also found out we are expecting #4! It came to a surprise to us but we are very blessed and excited! However, my husband is leaving for Iraq very soon and will most likely not be back in time for the birth....

Whew! That being said, besides being tired more than usual, I think I am finally back on my feet, and hoping to get some new cupcake wrapper designs up on Etsy for you!

Thanks for all of you who have been so very patient while I have been away! I'll do my best to get back on track. Just bear with me as we are trying to spend as much time as a family before my Marine deploys!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and Happy New Year!

I have had an insane last couple weeks, so I haven't been able to list any new items for a while! I do have a pile of things I'd like to get in the shop...but tonight, I'm so exhausted. It's not quite 7:30PM, and I'm already contemplating going to bed soon!

What's New

I have a small pile of other items I am going to try to get listed, so check back soon for more items! I know it's getting close to Christmas, but I'm trying! These past couple months have just been super crazy busy!

I also just joined the Homefront Team on Etsy. It's a team made up of military spouses and significant others. So if you want to support the troops and their spouses, search HOMEFRONT TEAM when you search on Etsy to see what we spouses do to keep us busy! For me, my big crafting time is during deployments.

My husband's next deployment to Iraq is coming up soon, so be prepared to see lots of new things in the shop!

Custom Orders!

I have been swamped with custom orders this past week! I just finished this one for a gal who does event planning. She does amazing work! And also uses Etsy to find items for some of her events! This particular order happened to be for her son's birthday! What a lucky kid he is! Can you imagine the parties he gets to have!!!
