Happy 15th Birthday Destiny!

 Today my oldest turned 15 yrs old! We had dinner at Cracker Barrel down in Loveland, CO and then home for cake and ice cream and presents at home. She absolutely loved her Zelda cake and gifts. She already wants to start working as well! I am so glad I instilled such a great work ethic into her. There are 3 places here in town she can work at now and we discussed that her earnings will go into a savings acct to save for a car when she gets her drivers licence. I'm very proud of you Destiny!

Its been too long super pic heavy FYI

Wow, its been so long since i last posted here. Lets see.....

I got a divorce and moved to Ohio for four months and then moved To Wyoming where I currently remain. :) Since i left my ex i haven't really been crafting much. Between work and replacing things that were stolen from us or forced to be left behind. I haven't had a lot of time. Anyways, I met a great guy and my girls absolutely love him. We have been together a little over two years and my girls have been calling him dad for about half of that. We recently this past July bought a house! So here are some house pics :)

Some of these pics were while the remodel was going on and also the staging. I haven't taken any pics of after we moved in cause tbh we are still trying to get things the way we like them. Sorry if this post is way too pic heavy but I am just super stoked about finally being in my own home again. For those of you that don't know, this does make my second home that I have bought. The first one i sold off to the ex when i left. This one is way better anyways ^_^

Happy New Year 2016

Our house on Christmas Day

I have more pictures on my camera, these are off my cell phone but you get the idea ^_^ I got my sister Heather and her hubby a Kuerig and the holder it sits on and holds 36 k-cups and they loved it. The kids loved thier gifts as well ^_^ It was a great day till i sadly had to say goodbye to my girls at noon as they went to his house for winter break.

Happy Birthday to a Dear Daughter.
You'll be special to me until the end.
Celebrate today and know this is true.
My life has been blessed because of you.

Happy 12th Birthday!

Happy 12th Birthday!

Family life is many things
And one of the nicest joys it brings
Is having a daughter as dear as you
Who's thought of in a special way
Not only on a special day
But warmly and with love
The whole year through!
Happy Birthday

Destiny's Birthday

A birthday should be fun and exciting but planning Destiny's birthday this year is well rough to say the least. I'm so broke but thankfully my sister and her hubby are sweet enough to help out. (I'll pay them back as soon as I get my first pay check in a few weeks ^_^) But now is the time we need to get her cake ordered but she wants Twilight. Normally its not an issue at all but this Wally World here doesn't have any Twilight! Makes me wanna scream and cry but luckily we can take in a picture and they can put it onto the cake so I let Destiny pic out a pic tonight and Heather and I will go in tomorrow and get it ordered before i go into work for a long 7 hour shift. Then I can come home and bake 2 dz cupcakes and then decorate them so Destiny can take them to school for her class on her birthday. So here is the picture we are going to put on her cake:

She insisted we find one with all good guys and bad guys on it. And the cake will be black with pink borders. Yes black and pink are her 2 favorite colors atm.

Happy Halloween!

The kids really got into the spirit of halloween this year. We all had a ton of fun till the wind got so bad we were all freezing so we had to call it a night. I hope everyone enjoyed Halloween as much or more as we did!

Happy Birthday to my sister Heather!

I love you very much,
You mean a lot to me,
You get me new toys,
And share your joys,
You make me smile,
When I am sad,
And make me cry,
With your pranks,
You fight with me,
But still love me,
My sister, my love,
You're the best!

Happy Birthday Heather!

Dice Jewelry Set

I was browsing Hobby Lobby this past weekend and saw these cute little dice. There was one size smaller but they were so itty bitty i couldn't see doing much with them. But this size just screamed jewelry set to me. Now the girls and my sister wants a pair :)

My Lady of Snow Update

I didn't realize how long since my last update. But I have been feeling better lately and picked up my stitching again. This is one piece i made sure made it to Ohio with me. I filled in the white areas on the bottom left and then a big chunk of blues and then filled in a bunch of the beads. I hate seeing empty spaces so im beading as i go as well.

Lots going on

I'm truly sorry my posts are far and wide as of late. But i'm going through a lot and haven't had the time to craft of any kind.

#1) I'm getting a divorce from my husband. July 6 will make 11 yrs married and 14 yrs together. The longest relationship i have ever had by far. Though I am OK with all this. I am the one that asked him for it and i have had over a year to prepare myself for it. He cheated on me and more then once. It will never stop and he was never interested in seeing a marriage counselor either. Also for some unknown reason he was always able to be honest and truthful to whoever he was with but never me. The only honesty I have ever got from him is when he admitted to his many flings. I honestly don't/can't trust a single word that comes out of his mouth. There are many other reasons why we are divorcing but this seems to be the main reasons.

#2) I'm moving (see #1 for why) to Toledo, Ohio. My older sister lives there with her husband and two boys so I am going to go there for awhile while i start school in a career i enjoy. It won't be full blown college, just a technical school. Times like this I am thankful I have a wonderful family willing to support and help me out. I will try my best not to be a burden.

#3) My girls and I fly out in about 9 more days and i haven't packed much at all so this will definitely be a busy week. But my monster in laws have suddenly decided this is the perfect time to show up and make my life miserable a bit more so we will see how this week goes. I don't want to be rushing to pack the 2 days before i fly out.

Once I am settled I will try and post more but for now this has to be this way.

Meet Tyson

He's our new to us 13 month old boxer pup. Though he is nearly as tall as my waist so i'm not sure how much i can call him a pup. One of hubby's co-workers said his sister was looking to re home him free. She is divorcing her army husband who is getting a dishonorable discharge. idk why and its none of my business. Anyway she doesnt wanna move 3 kids and a puppy so we are fortunate enough to get him. He's really sweet and doesnt jump thankfully. Even my little Pomeranian likes him until Tyson gets near his peanut butter bone then Duke gets a bit nasty with him. Which in turn makes Tyson sit there and cry and cry and cry so hubby will be going back to the toy store and getting Tyson his own peanut butter bone :)
