My Little Crafty Corner

Archive for August, 2008

She had us cracking up with her “knock, knock jokes”!

It was somewhat of a challenge to get the baby in
a good mood, but I think we got a few good shots!

I had a fun, but hot photo shoot with my friend Erica and her adorable kids.
You can click on the mosaic to view the photos a little bigger.

I finished it! 

I have been thinking about getting my belly button pierced, one day soon. I was looking at all the different body jewelry they have, and found some really cute ones.  I don't know if my hubby would like for me to get one, but this has been my prize I want for when I lose the weight and get to my goal weight.  I may be 40, but I am still young at heart and think it would be cute on me!

I would love to have some commercial real estate so I could open up some sort of crafty store, or even a photography studio. This has been a dream of mine for some time now. I am working on getting my portfolio for my photography business.  This weekend I bought a book so I could learn more about my camera.  I have so much to learn, I guess me not working is a blessing in disguise so I can figure this all out.  We shall see!

I am working on a dish cloth right now.  I had to go retype this out, as it had sections that were repeating rows several times, and I kept losing my place.  I can't wait to see the finished product.  Its looking really cute right now.

Brazil vacation packages. Have you ever been to Brazil? I would like to some day. I would have to make sure I have a nice base tan going, or make sure I have plenty of sunblock!

It's a beautiful country.  The tour packages I have been viewing aren't all that badly priced either.  John's passport is good for 2 more years, so I would have to get one for myself.  Then start saving up for this trip.  It would make a nice anniversary present to ourselves in March.  I will be so tired of all the snow by then and would so welcome a sunny destination to travel to!
