So sorry for being MIA......................

Boy life seems to get a bit crazy when your children starts school and holidays rolling around.  So I noticed I haven't been on my blog to update what I have been up to lately.  First off, I totally lost my voice for a week, no clue how because I felt fine.  I think my allergies this year was in full force and I was pretty miserable with stuffy & running nose, very itchy eyes (to the point of wanting them out) and huge sinus pressure.   So of course I double up on allergy medicine and that did not work, only put me to sleep.

I finally figure out why my allergies were so bad, we live near a huge cotton field!!!  Which I was amazed because I have never saw a real cotton field.  I been bugging my hubby about picking one so I can feel it.  So he asked the person who owns that field and he let him pick some for me. For those, who have NEVER seen or felt what real cotton feel like, it feels EXACTLY like a cotton ball you buy in the store.  But of course, since this was natural it had many many many seeds in them.  So now, I have cotton seeds to plant my own cotton field (well a small one at least).  Not sure what to do with them afterward, but I'm sure the internet will have plenty of instruction on how to handle them after harvesting it.
I will upload some images later this week if I remember to take some photos.

Today is a great day, I finally found instruction on how to upload my Etsy shop onto my blogger.   Love the team and it's forum that I'm in, they are very helpful!
So check out my items there and at my site at www.mylittleworld.net

So I finally found some time to crank out a few new items.  Since owls are still in fashion, here are some really cute owl invitations.   To order or see new designs go to www.mylittleworld.net

Where were you on 9/11/2001?

I'm dedicating this posting to the memories of those who lost love ones 10 yrs ago.   The thought of it still brings tears to my eyes.  I remember this day vividly even though I wasn't in NYC, but it's hard to forget what you heard and saw on TV.
Where or what was I doing on this day?  It was 7am Cali time, I was driving to work at GUESS?  corporate office (was as Assistant Buyer for them back in 99).  LOVE that job!  Anyways, I'm on the 110 heading to downtown LA when on the radio was the news about what happen to the first twin towers.  So first thing, everyone thought of was a freak accident, then comes the news about the 2nd plane, gasppppppp, so then you freak.  I arrived to the office and we were told we could go home to be with family and then that was when we saw on TV about the pentagon and Flight 93.   I was suppose to be flying on that day back to Ohio but had cxl my flight a week before.  So, at that time my mind was baffle what if?  I had a 3 yr old at that time and the thought of leaving him motherless scared me to death.  Though he would be in great hands with my family, the thought still scares anyone who leaves their little ones behind to early.  Now my son is 15 and he sort of remembers that day because he was in a daycare and they watched the news until all parents were able to pick up their children.
I am impress with the courage & strength of those that lost their love ones that day.  It takes a lot of will power and support to be able to move forward.  The thought of losing my husband, kids, family members or close friends is a scary thought.  We take things for granted until you don't have them anymore and then it's too late to reflect what if.
So I hope who ever reads my blog, reflect on their lives and appreciate others and most of all what you have. 
Be kind to each other as we are all human beings trying to live our day to day life.

It's Saturday afternoon and I feel like it's Sunday evening already

Finally we see some sunshine this week.  I am one of those people who NEEDS the sun to make my day otherwise if it's raining or gray out for days I'm bummed and can't get anything done.  So when we lived in Redondo Beach for many years then we moved to San Diego for 2 yrs (LOVE, LOVE) and isn't the same since we left the beach and perfect weather.

So here are some more new designs and looks like Safari prints are making it's way back.  I had fun making these party packages.

Where has the time gone? Summer is over for my family!

2 out of 3 of our kids are in school already, can you believe that?  I remember when school started in Sept and still end in early June.
So our oldest child is in ROTC and our middle started kindergarten but I'm still left with our 2 yr old.  Nice to just be us two but also I have to constantly be her play date because big sis was there to always play with her (bummer for me and now I work even much later).  But I enjoy every moment with her and learning how amazing she is.  Very strong willed little girl she is and very independent.
I LOVE to cook as much as planning and creating amazing parties but time always seems to creep up on me so quickly that I usually have to cook quick simple meals.  At least our kids aren't quite picky.  We lucked out with our last child (the 2 yr old) she eats just about everything, she loves veggies (even salads).  Our other two eats veggie too but ONLY certain veggies, so our popular buy are carrots, broccoli, green beans & soybean.

I'm not a picky eater as I LOVE food and it's starting to show.  I need & like to lose a few pounds if I can only stay focus and discipline myself to get on a diet.  Maybe it'll be my New Years' resolution to lose about 30 pounds.  Be nice to get back down to 100lbs as I was prior to my two girls.  After having my son years ago, losing weight was easy but boy after 2 girls it's a struggle.

I like blogging, it's basically me talking to myself on a computer and in hopes for someone to read me.   OK, time for bed, night, night!
