So I haven't heard back from Sarah E. So I will draw another number....
And you will have to believe me that the magic number is 7 because I am having the hardest time getting a screen capture of Random.org and saving it to my computer and then uploading it to Photobucket so insert the picture here. So Lucky #7 is:

My oldest daughter will be starting kindergarten next month. Barely next as its the 31st or 30th, but its coming sooner than I ever thought possible. Wasn't it just a few months ago I brought this bright red squirming bundle who weighed less than a bag of rice home from the hospital?! Now she is big enough for us to be joining in on the back-to-school shopping not just be annoyed by all the pencils and backpacks and notebooks and lunchboxes making it difficult for me to find the dishwasher detergent.
And she is going to a private school which means she is entering the lovely world of uniforms and strict dress codes. That means I am very limited in my bow-making for her school wardrobe. But will I let that hinder the creativity?! No, of course not! I have a few custom orders that I am hoping to have completely finished by the end of next week, some this week. And then I have a whole new line of bows swimming around in my head that are just dying to make their grand debut. Just in time to join the party of back-to-school frenzy!
At the Unique Women in Business website! So exciting!

So last night my 4 year old computer started making a random beeping noise. And this morning the beeping has continued and it was finally concluded that the computer has died. There are parts, of course, that can be purchased to revive it. But knowing that I planned on replacing the PC desktop with a MacBook by the end of the summer, it seems silly to buy replacement parts for a computer I don't plan on using after August. But on the otherhand - without my computer, I can't check email. I have an iMac that I can use for internet and keeping up with online orders coming through either my Etsy shop, Diaperswappers, Hyena Cart or Facebook. But I don't have access to my email or Photoshop or Office to create invoices.
Needless to say, Hubby is stepping up to the plate in trying to get me back on-line as soon as possible. Until then I will be able to keep up with stuff - just not as often as before. God-willing, I will have my new laptop by the end of the month.
Its the First Monday of July and that means GIVEAWAY TIME! This month I am giving away an adorable clippie set - perfect for summer. Its a 4 peice set, 4 clippies made with adorable ribbon. These clippies work great to keep bangs out of eyes, add an accent to a cute hairstyle or be the main feature in their hair. 4 different ribbons to match just about any outfit! Apples and Pears, flowers, sunburst and cupcakes - these are just too cute!
and red and orange and blue and purple..... The girls crayons have become such a mess. Half of them are broken and the rest are dull. I hated to just toss out perfectly good crayons even though in their current state, they were unusable by a 4 year old and a 3 year old. So I searched through the vast array of knowledge that google provides and came across several how-to's on recycling or up-cycling crayons! Perfect!
This morning I ran to Michaels and bought myself a mini-muffin tin and a $1 pack of 64 crayons, in case I completely mess things up, the girls will have a back-up. When I get home, I enlist the littles to help me rip off all the paper and group the crayons according to color. Set the oven to 200 degrees, fill the muffin tins and wait. And wait and wait and wait. Most of the websites said 10 minutes, apparently at high altitudes that translates to 30 minutes. And 30 minutes to a 3 year old might as well be 5 years. But the wait was worth it. Aren't they pretty?!
I'm also a fan on your facebook!
