I need to learn....

As adult you think to yourself you never going to need to learn anything ever again....WRONG!!! I need to learn how to manage my time. OMG I feel like I can never get anything done anymore.
First off I have a 2 year old that demands my attentions 24/7. LOL I hear "mommy lets play cards", "mommy put this puzzle together with me", "mommy read me a story". Shhhheeesshhhh don't get me wrong I would not trade being a SAHM for all the money in the world, but I have made my decision to start my own business and with all these extra curricular activities I am partaking in with Oli I am having a hard time accomplishing anything.
**As you read this please keep in mind that this whole paragraph was written to throw off my DSIL who frequents this blog. We were planning a surprise baby shower and she was here to see if I would post a date or creations I made for her shower**
Second, my FIL is in town from the Dominican Republic and he is turning 75 this year so my MIL has decided that she wants to throw one huge party for him. We are not talking 15- 20 people try 150-200(+) people. I was put in charge of decorations and it has not been easy. You don't want to offend anyone by buying stuff that says "You OL' Fart" which is all I have been finding. So the on switch is green on my cricut but my brain is not functioning **in enters Oli "mom I want a pop tart" The party is 2 weeks away, I need to find a dress and schedule an appointment to do my hair, Oli needs a dress and I have to try and convince the hubby to wear a tie ( not happening).
So if anyone has time management skills that they can teach me or maybe miraculously they will rub off give me a holler....I'm in desperate need of someones help.......ANYONE.

As always be good and STAY CREATIVE!!!<3

Been a while....

I have been out of touch for a while with so many craft projects that I needed to complete but yet there is never enough hours in a day to get what you need to get done, Done. The last project I made was for my youngest DB's girlfriend. She just graduated High school and her mother organized a grad/18th birthday party. I just mastered word books and I thought " what better gift than a word book for her guest to leave her a message that she can always go back to in the future"

Baby Shower by the Dozen

So I have been commissioned for another baby shower, which is great. Its not much that they ask me do but what I love is that they trust my judgement. Its like here is the stuff do what you want. For some people to give you that confidence is....*lost for words** I'm flattered. Thank you for you vote of CONFIDENCE in ME.

2 in one day....have to vent

To be honest I took a punch to the gut that has put my creative juices on stand still. I'm just started this business and I have never had anyone not like my work, so far. (**then again I love my husband and family to death, I don't think they would even tell me they didn't like what I made LOL) So when I was commissioned to make some invitations and the customer didn't like them, what do you do? What do you say? I made a second set and these were rejected as well. OMG!!! I wanna close up shop and go back to being a SAHM.
I should have know that with starting a business comes your ups and downs and even criticism but preparing yourself for it and actually hearing it is 2 totally different things. I guess I have to take my old volleyball coach's advice. "Suck it up and get back in there" I am never going to succeed if I let every little negative comment slow me down. Thanks for reading and letting me vent, I'm off to make a creations that came to me as I was blogging.......I STILL HAVE IT YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
