This Weeks Sketch

Here is my layout for this weeks sketch at 52weeks

The Egg

Tuesday evening Celeste and I were making banana chocolate chip bread. It is a delicious combo! After mixing all the dry ingredients, and most everthing else, it came time to add the eggs. I had two left, perfect! Except one was apparently cracked and had seeped out enough egg white to not notice, but to effectively "glue" it to the egg crate. GREAT! So I went to the garage to ask boyfriend how much one egg matters to such things. When we decided we had no choice but to go on, I returned to the kitchen... To find the egg had burst, and Celeste had dissapeared....
Down a winding hall, and sniffling under her covers was my sad little girl.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"I-I just was helping. (Sniffle) I didn't mean to break it mama" and she burst in to tears.
Poor thing thought she broke the egg. I am always adament about her not handling the eggs, and she wants to prove she big enough to, and CRACK!

Time Flies

My weekend has just flown right past me. We've done a lot though. My little bug and I watched movies, baked cookies, made earrings. We even listed some in my new etsy.com shop @ mooninmygarden.etsy.com Check it out!

Went up to see my mommy, things are always hectic there, but we love and miss her! XO

Missing This Little Girl

Today we went thrift store shopping for some cheap jeans for Celeste to grow out of way to quickly. As I picked her up to put her in the shopping cart, I realized I can barely do so. It is only a matter of time before I can't carry her anymore, and then she really won't be a little girl anymore. It is so wonderful to see her grow up, but brings tears to my eyes to know she isn't a baby anymore. I feel I didn't do enough to remember it. With the divorce I got nothing, just some baby photos on a CD. Everything else is a fading memory, and it makes me miss my little baby. XO

Ashley's Tea Party

We had a lovely little tea party at work for Ashley's Birthday today. Everyone made such super cute and yummy little treats. I made a pumpkin pinwheel with cream cheese filling. I also added chocolate chips to the batter. I've never made a pinwheel, so it broke in half when I was filling it. It still tastes good though! Last night I made her a pair of earrings, Celeste, who just had her ears pierced, was going through all my beads making plans for all the earrings I should make her!

The only thing I managed to accomplish coming out of the weekend was my scrapbook page and my cleaning. I still had fun though!

Over so Soon?

I can't believe this is the last day of my weekend and it is over so soon! I had a blast with my girlfriends and the wine walk. I've never been, so it was neat to see all these local stores, taste some wine, and enjoy my friends. The new sketch has been posted on http://52sketches52weeks.ning.com/ I am excited and want to get scrapping. I have a bunch on my plate still to accomplish this weekend, so I better get to it! XO

Dinner and a Movie

So we decided to have a date night with some of our unexpected funds. It really nice. I got all dolled up, we went to PF Changs for dinner. I love asian food, it's so flavorful and fresh. Afterwards we went to see Paranormal Activity. You HAVE to see it! It is good, it is scary! I haven't screamed out loud at a movie since I am Legend. Curtain shopping time....

Surprise Money

Isn't it nice to receive unexpected money? Today I came home to a deposit refund from my apartment. Thats $150 I wasn't expecting! Of course, I'm planning on going to a wine walk with friends tomorrow so I spent money I didn't have on a new outfit, so I guess it kind of worked itself out!? Celeste had her first field trip today, the pumpkin patch! She was so excited to ride a school bus. She is at her Dad's this weekend, so I haven't had a chance to ask how it went. I hoping to get a lot accomplished this weekend, finish my vampire painting, scrap, laundry, sleep in, shop for curtains with my new found money... Oh my, we'll see how much I actually accomplish..XO

This day

Today I've decided to begin my blog. I have wanted to for some time now, and here I am. I am a young mother to the center of my world, Celeste. I love art in all forms, especially scrapbooking and painting. We have just purchased a home and are nervously looking forward to the tribulations of its ownership.... XO
