Kids off to school!

Well, the kids are off to school for another semester and I'm so happy! I love having the kids home, but they were starting to get under my feet while I was trying to get some orders done. 

I have 50 business card holders to get done. It's a custom order through Facebook! Yah!!  I will be taking pics as I go and will post them up here in a couple days.  They client wants blues and pinks which should be fun to do. I may have to make some extras for me  :)

I also have a new bag to create for  my camera. I want it to be similar to a bowler bag, but not quite so big. I've seen ones that look similar, but I don't like how they are made. They look like they don't have enough padding in them and I am worried that it won't protect, so I'm making my own.  If it works, I may make more and put them on my Etsy.  I will take pics and put them up here for you all to see.

I was able to get some organizing done in the craft room and so far I love how it's looking. I have more to do, of course, but so far, it is looking so much better than it was. I'm now trying to decide if I want to make my sewing/craft table smaller or not. What is your opinion? I have a 4ft by 4ft table right now and some days it feels too big, but others it's almost too small.  What do you think?

I went out with my son, hubby and our friend and her kids to take pictures of them and the wildlife.  We got some good pics of both.  Here is my favorite one of my son. Isn't he cute! lol

I am hoping to make some different meals this week that I haven't attempted before.  I'm not sure if I'll succeed, but I'm going to try! I want to try and get my kids to taste different flavours.  I have tried Mexican, Chinese, but I want to try different things.  I have to be careful because Meghan has diabetes so we can't have things that are too sweet or anything.  I know I can bake different things, but haven't really tried different menus so this will be interesting.  Any ideas? I was thinking maybe Italian or something like that since my kids like pasta dishes. I'll let you know what I decide.

On another note, I finally got my Etsy up and running!! Yah Me!!  I put up a coffee cozy and some covered notebooks.  I have more to put up but their pics didn't work out so well.  I will retake them tomorrow and add them as well.  I don't know if I'll succeed at it, but I won't know if I don't try!!

I found this link in one of my other blogs I read, http://craftzine.com/  I belong to their twitter as well so I get things as they go up on the site.

He'll have his own placemat.  I will post a picture as soon as I get it done.

I'm without my favorite lens at this time and it's driving me crazy!! Hubby bought me a Tamron 18-270 when we got his income tax back. I have been using it over any of my other lenses since. However since we came back from Vegas, it has developed a sticky spot.  When I go to zoom out, it sticks in about the middle.  It was there before, but I've really noticed it as I use it more, it's gotten worse. :(  The camera store said it would be 4-6 weeks and that was 3 weeks ago. I hope it's done soon!!!
