A celebrity and Swap-bot

I had a celebrity comment on my blog! I'm so excited!!! Ok, she's probably not known by everyone, but to me she's a celebrity. I mentioned Ro from scrapgirls (www.scrapgirls.com) in a previous post, and she commented. I thought that was just too cool!

On another note...

I'd like to welcome all my Swap-bot friends to my blog. If you are unfamiliar with swap-bot, you should check it out. www.swap-bot.com It's a fun site where you can meet great people and swap things with, mostly via snail mail. I'm doing a swap right now where you visit other people's blogs and comment on them. I've found a few really great ones, and I will be adding them to a list here later, so that you can enjoy them too.

Now, I really need to quit wasting time and go clean my house... but let me visit just one more blog first... LOL

Strange and Unusual ???

Ro from Scrap Girls (www.scrapgirls.com) suggested that we go out and try something strange and unusual.  Sounds like fun.  Now, I just need to figure out what that might be and do it.  Any ideas??? 
 
On another note... My question mark is broken.  :o(
The key on my keyboard snapped off and part of the hindge broke.  Now all I have is a little rubber nub where the key used to be.  Make it really hard to ask a question.
 
Happy weekend ahead!!!

I Did It!!!

After years of wanting to learn, I finally taught myself to crochet.  I made a ball.  Two actually, which I will sew together to make  pig.  I'll post a picture as soon as I finish.  Now to make arms, legs and a tail.  Somebody stop me, I'm out of control!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Baby Dance...

So I was watching Juno with my 5 yr old daughter, "The Ladybug", when she starts asking questions. 
 
Ladybug: "Why is Juno peeing on that stick?"
Me: "It's a test to see if she's pregnant.
Ladybug: "Is she pregnant?"
Me: "Yes, honey.  She is."
Ladybug: "Is she sad?"
Me: "Yes, she is."
Ladybug: "Why is she sad?  Doesn't she want to have the baby?"
Me: "No honey, she doesn't.  She's too young and still in high school."
Ladybug: "Then why is she going to have a baby?  How did she get the baby if she didnt' want one?"
Me:  Silence...  "Well honey, she did a special Baby Dance and that's how she got the baby.  That's why you should never do the Baby Dance until you are out of college and ready to have a baby."
Ladybug: "That sounds like fun, a Baby Dance.  I don't want to do it because I don't want to have a baby, but I'd like to know how to do it.  I promise not to do it if you tell me how."
Me:  (*Sh!t*)  "That's a talk we will have when you are 11, maybe 12.  I don't think you're ready to know about the Baby Dance just yet."
Ladybug: "OK, Mommy."  silence... "Is it something you do by yourself?"
Me: "No.  There needs to be a man and a lady to do the Baby Dance."
Ladybug: "I won't do the baby dance with any boys.  I'll just walk with them."
Me: "Ok, baby.  Walking is fine."

Lost In Blog Land

I've spent the last few days surfing and surfing and surfing.  I've found some of the BEST blogs out there.  Well, they're the best if you like crafty stuff.  I've found a ton of things that I plan to make, and a few that I wish I could make.  I've picked up a few creative ideas, too.  I'll post pictures soon and links to these wonderful sites.
