Today is my oldest son’s 21st birthday. I had planned on giving him cash for his gift, but didn’t want to just put some $$ in a card. So with him thinking I am still his money tree I wanted to make one, but had trouble finding one of those fake wire trees. I had to get creative, so I used some poinsetta flowers and removed the flowers from the stems and added the dollar bills. I can’t wait to see his face! Photobucket Photobucket

Ever have one of those days, weeks or months where the kids drive you crazy!? This must be the mouthiest month ever with my two! I am going to make a box and name it my Lipovox, and every time they get mouthy or lippy they will have to put in a dollar! It won't take long for either 1)I have a small sum of money to go shopping with or 2) they catch on fast and shape up!  As much as I would love to be able to go shopping, I would much rather have two boys who are well behaved!

I have noticed more and more digital signage along the highways lately.  It was only a matter of time, what with the TV's going digital, the billboards had to get in on it as well.  There is one along the highway I drive the most, that at night time it is actually a little to bright.  I think this may cause many distractions for drivers, and we have too many other things that distract us, so we don't really need this one to add to it.  

When I first started working out I liked the treadmill, but this last six weeks I found out I really like using the elliptical. I have not only lost some weight, but I have lost inches in all the right places! I am down a pant size, and down two sizes in my shirts! This has NEVER happened!  I need to stay on top of the maintaining this progress I made, I want to look great in a swim suit this summer!  I will be getting some of my shake stuff to help with this, and it will be a great cool drink for the hot summer weather.

I am hoping to save up enough money this year to purchase an LCD TV. I have made some knitting items that have started off my savings. I would like to whip out more things to have enough for a craft show this fall. Right now I am working on some baby items for a friend at church, and if the sweater turns out like I want, I will be making more of them. I am still wanting to make candles, but I can't get the formula down right for this.
