New tag..... It's the weekend

Kreativ Blogger Award

Beverly from http://flying-cupcakes.blogspot.com/2009/11/ms-kreativ.html nominated me for this super cute award for Thank you VERY much Beverly for not only stopping by, but also for this cute award ;)

Now it’s my turn to pass this little beauty around, but first the rules:
1. Thank the person who gave this to you.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that no one would really know.
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know that you nominated them.

Now it's my turn to pick 7 things I think no one would really know about me... This is hard because when I am blogging on a regular basis I am pretty much an open book haha.

1. I LOVE to sing. I sing in the car, I blast music still like my kids and sing when cleaning, cooking, in the shower. I am not all that great of singer, but love music ;)

2. My husband colors and cuts my hair for me ;)

3. I do NOT allow my kids to say jesus, god, or shut up. All three of them do not need to be used by kids or adults in my eyes. We made a funny saying for shut up years ago when all my kids were younger. Instead of telling each other to shut up they say sock puppet lol

4. I am going to get a tattoo of a dreamcatcher with all of my kid's names entwined in the webbing some time sooner than later.

5. I have the hardest job around! A homemaker ;) I am a mother, a friend, a lover, a confidant, trustee, shopper, driver, shoulder, hugger, booger getter, diaper changer, complimenter (is that a word? or spelled right?), cleaner, cook, game player, yard mower, garbage taker outer, garage cleaner, car cleaner, hmmmm I really could go on and on but I think I made my point :)

6. I LOVE doing different type of crafting things. I recently started making trendy rag dolls. Here is a picture of the beginning of one. NOW remember I am not a sewer lol. I just got this idea in my head one evening and ran to Walmart. Bought a bunch of random stuff and started cutting and hand sewing. If I can't sell them, I will probably donate them to shelters or something. This one is not done but I will show you what I am talking about.







7. I truly do think I have alot of answers what could make this world a better place. All I can do is be me, do the little things I can to make a difference. And wish and hope some other's do and feel the same. Or maybe that a little of what I do and give can give someone else the desire to follow lead!

And for this award I nominate:

New Gorjuss tag..... Rain on your dreams

New Halloween Gorjuss tag & Random pictures

Hi everyone. Along with being sick and just busy in life. I also have not made many tags recently (or in like months is better worded!). I am going to try to start making them again.

Tonight I made another tie blanket for my daughter's baby sister Piper. It is super cute. Ray picked out the pattern and I made it.

I have been painting canvases instead of being online alot lately also. I found a bunch of really cute buttons on sale a few weeks ago and bought them. I had an idea to use them on my canvas. I have one done, about 8 to go. I also went to Joanne Fabric's and they had canvases of all sizes on sale for 50% off. Can't beat that! So I stocked up on them.

Here is a few I have finished. Because my basement is unfinished I just hang them all on the wall. I have a whole side of the basement set up specifically for crafting. Everything is organized and has a place. I am looking for a cheap bookshelf or cabinet though on Craigslist to house all my acrylic paints. Right now they are in plastic drawers and they are super hard to find specific colors easily.

When my kids paint pictures I am also going to hang those like I did the couple already there.

It has been really cold in MN already! In the 20's. Now this week it has warmed up a little bit. We had to rush to get our sprinklers blown out so they wouldn't freeze. I got our yard aerated, and seeded one last time but then was supposed to water the grass for 3 days before mowing one last time. Well neither got done, since the sprinklers got shut off. Oh well, there's always next spring. Our yard really looked awful when the snow melted this last Spring. We hired a company to come and do alot of work to it. Other than the 2 yards in our neighbourhood that had their's resodded. Our's looks pretty good. For some reason it is really hard to keep your grass looking good here. All things considered we are doing pretty good.

This entry ended up more pictures than actual writing. But I am going to post it and go run a bath. I hope you are all having a great week!

Hugs,
Robyn

Been a LONG time!

Hi everyone. I am just making a quick post to see if anyone is even still out there? If so I will probably come back and start blogging more again. I know most of us have moved over to Facebook. But I miss actually sharing pics, tags and stories of my life more in detail here. Versus just status updates on Facebook.

I hope you are all doing well. We have been extremely sick with H1N1, another strain of Influenza, and now Pneumonia in my household. I have lots to tell and will if my blog is still alive haha ;)

Hugs,

Robyn
