Outgoing December 2

Im not sure I like this whole blogging from my phone. Yes its easier. But I cant format the photos like I can on the web version.  《Sighs》 anyways sorry ive been gone so long (I've been saying that lots lately!! Welcome to working fulltime and motherhood lol)
here's an envie going to a dear friens that I had time to do on my sons naptime!  :)

Lets get this thing rolling!!

My lil man is napping... im surrounded by a crafting mess. Never felt better! More to come!

Its been to long!

So I've had a rough go. This last month has... sucked to put it bluntly. I felt I was finally coming around when.... my basement flooded. Seven inches of water across the entire basement and mold... lots of mold! Well... all my of pen pal envelope decor... is in the basement. <SIGHS> Not a whole lot I could do. So I've been piling up boxes of wet stickers, paper and envelopes and heaving them in a dumpster. Worst of it all... insurance won't cover any of it. We paid a pretty penny to fix the pipe...which isn't included in our deductible... and recording everything....  It's not worth it! So I've been pitching. Which is somewhat good for me too. I'm the one in the family who always had everything pawned on her! Which I feel bad some precious heirlooms are lost due to mold... but I'm also glad... I can say "Oh that item? Yeahhhhh it got lost in our basement flood." :)

But back to penpaling.  Am I the only one who has trouble using colored ink? I love using a black pen! I think my writing Is neater and easier to read! Then I get these cutesy letters with color print and feel I'm not doing something right. I just wrote a letter with a pink pen.... it took all my will power not to rip it out of the envelope and start over! Lol so do you have this black pen addiction too?

On my way Back!

I know.. It's been forever! I'm. Finally getting this mom thing down! Thanks for being oh so patient! :)

Outgoing:

Sorry It's not as fancy! I have recently bought a new phone (Samsung galaxy) and It's much easier to post then to drag out my laptop! 

Incoming June 24 and earlier

So besides trying to figure out how to juggle baby and life, I spent the last two weeks up north at a cottage my parents rented. It was a much needed break! I'm still trying to figure out how to juggle baby and hobbies... and in 4 weeks I'll be adding WORK back into my schedule. I don't know how mom's everywhere do this! But... I'm going to prevail! MWA HA HA HA!!!

 

Disney Stickers! :D LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

I've been singing my son the mickey mouse club theme song. The OLD school

M-i-c-k-e-y..... M-o-u-s-e! 

 

I love the new baby Bunny stamp on the envie! :D

 

Busting out some mail art! Woo-Hoo!! So cute!

 

One of my favorite Baby cards I got. :) 

 

And to add some cuteness to your day, My Son!

 (that's still so strange to say!)

Incoming....

I'm trying to adjust to this whole... being a Mom thing.

(Oh My goodness I'm a mom! <Jaw dropping>) 

So I apologize for my late delay in posting, I'm just trying to figure out how to juggle all this...

which currently, My Son is #1! But, Once I figure it out, I hope to get better at posting! :)

OutGoing Mail March 30, 2013

When I was thrift store shopping, (which I LOVE doing lately) I was looking at books for my nursery and stopped in my tracks when I saw... a HUGE stack of coloring books for .25!!! Who can resist such cuteness at such a low cost? So I sat on the floor and picked some out for my nieces and nephew and then got the idea.... to alter them with cardstock to make cuter envies! (I've done the coloring pages before... but never thought to add Cardstock! :) So... There will probably be a slew of these coming since I bought 2 dollars worth of coloring books!

The Following Envies are a few I sent out as "thank you's"
for my Baby Shower! :) 
(I did NOT load all of them!)

InComing Mail- March 30, 2013

I feel like all I say lately is "Sorry! I'm so behind!" 

That runs true here! 

All I do is go to work, come home and sleep. Most of the time I'm not sleeping because my Acid Reflux is so incredibly awful! All the Ladies who say being pregnant is the best feeling in the world... I'm calling your Bluff! ha ha ha!

P.S. If your my pal and I didn't post your envie... It's not that I don't have MAD love for you... I'm just loosing it! LOL

 

My Sister (above) decided to use a book jacket that the library was just going to pitch and turn it into an envie! :D Some people's craftiness! :) I'll keep that In mind if I'm ever pitching a book jacket now!
