Am I an OU fan?

Not as much of one as my oldest kid! :) Hunter is a dyed in the wool fan and I think he got to attend the game yesterday. Sounds like fun and I'm sorry the sooners lost Hunter! It looked like a pretty good game tho. Here is a picture of the Schooner I painted on Cooper's wall at Hunter and Danielle's house while I was there last week. I love you guys and had a really good week! Can't wait for that baby to get here...

My other grandbaby, Tanner, had his first birthday! A good excuse to see everyone, we had an awesome time. Even Caleb got to be there. He had to stay home to attend school but his dad and big bro came after him and watched him march in the Mountain Home Homecoming game and then drove him back to Ft Smith so that he wouldn't be left out. AWW! it was really nice to have him there and I'm glad he didn't have to miss marching in the homecoming. Here is Tanner, enjoying his birthday cupcake. He ate cake all week long!

As for homemade soap, I'm preparing this week for my soap class! Still have spots available so if your interested, holler at me! I may do a bring a friend discount so if you have someone to bring, ask me about it. It's going to be a fun day and I'm getting a lot of info and recipes together to send home with attendee's, along with the soap that we make.

And finally, speaking of soap. I'm making a newsletter blog that will include a monthly give-away. Freebies are always nice. Join the blog and on the 15th of each month I will do a giveaway drawing of free soap, lip balms, soy melt candles, etc. It's called Jewelled and Pampered! The newsletter will also be about the handmade jewelry I make. Fall blessing to everyone, the weather here as been beautiful. Hope you have a great day!

I got My Mojo back!

Well, it's only been a week since I got totally serious about the no carb thing and I feel like a new person. I have some energy! Major improvement. I've been more active and this coming week I'm going to start my walking program. I decided that the best thing for me to do was go on a modified version of the atkins diet. I say modified but that's really not true. I'm eating nothing but meat, dairy (without the milk), and lots of green veggies. I make a huge plate of salad greens and pile the meat and cheese on and then I use that awesome vinegar I told ya'll about. Love it! it's not bad and I've already lost around 10 pounds. It will come off even faster once I start walking. Well, I'm off this week to see my kids, Tanner turns 1 on wednesday! The year has flown by and we are so excited to see him again. Here's a new pic or two of the little stinker. Can't wait to squeeze him! I added a little flickr badge of etsy related pictures on this blog. Click on it! Find out all about etsy, it's awesome!
