The fun of being a nanny

Wow!  It's been a while since my last blog post.  My sister has gone back to work and needed someone to watch her new baby girl during the day.  So I have now become a nanny to add to all of my other projects I have going on right now in my life.  I have been trying to keep up with a 6 month old and commuting 45 minutes each way.  Life is crazy right now.  But it is a lot of fun too.  Making a baby laugh is the best.  Hopefully I can get back to blogging soon.  I just made more wedding shower invitations for a ward shower and I have been making and selling my light bulb earrings and necklaces through word of mouth.  So I'm keeping my creative juices flowing.  Now I just need to get some pictures up.

Necklaces for a good cause

I've decided to put some of my necklaces in a local boutique. It is a fundraiser for a friend's nephew battling leukemia. All the proceeds will go to pay for his mounting hospital bills. This will be a little trial run to see how well my necklaces sell and then the next step will be to actually list some on Etsy. If anyone is interested in donating to the cause here is a link to the announcement on Facebook.

Some projects I've been working on

One reason I've been slacking off on my blog is because I've been working on all of these lightbulb necklaces and earrings. I have had so much fun picking colorful beads and then assembling these necklaces and earrings. These will definitely be showing up in my Etsy shop soon. Happy crafting everyone.

Mother's Day gift ideas

This week I will be featuring some Mother's Day gift ideas. My first idea is this boxwood and burlap wreath. What mother wouldn't love having this hanging on her door? My mom won't be getting anything like this from me this year though. I opted to make her gift. I'm giving her one of my light bulb necklaces that I featured a little while ago on this blog. What kinds of things would you love to get for Mother's Day? What are you giving for Mother's Day? I need ideas for next year. :)
