Some projects...

I have been busy making lots of stuff. I have not sat down and did my sewing yet. I need to do that. I have been crafting and scrapin. I joined a site called alilscrapofheaven.ning.com it is so fun. Lots of neat ladies with the same interests as me. I swap alot with them. I seem to have better luck swapin there than I was through bloggin. I have made some youtube videos of my crafts, I dont know how to link it here so you can go and look if you want. I am onelynn36 on youtube. Here are some pics of my recent projects.

Long time no hear....

Yep I am still here. Just neglectin the blog. So I plan to post more and just keep things up to date. Not that I have a bunch of followers or anything, just for me mostly. I am working on craft projects and getting other unfinished items done. (My daughters will be happy to hear that.) I am building my spray tan business and thinkin about going back to school. And working my butt off with 2 jobs that equal almost a full-time job. So watch me in the next few months and see my growth!!  :)

Movin into the Holiday........

Looking forward to the holidays and visiting with family. Christmas shopping has already started for me. I am excited to see my son, and hope to hear from my oldest.  I am adding this picture just cause has nothing to do with this post, but I love the ocean and these two guys.... I have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and am reminded everyday. I am so blessed.

More Swaps..tryin to catch up!

I have been doing alot of swaps lately. I participated in a favorites swap and got some wonderful things from Sharni she lives in Australia. Love the candy it was sooo good! also got a mixed music cd I like it! And finally lots of post cards.. I am going to put them in my scrapbook. I think I will send her some post cards, she likes to collect them.
shewaitsforwhispers.blogspot.com was our host!

My next swap was an apron swap. I sent out two aprons, but failed to get pictures of them. It was at the time graduation was going on around here and it was crazy! I am sad to say my aprons never arrived. kimberly-kimberlyskoner.blogspot.com hosted this one!This also happened to my summer swap partner. She never got hers from me. I am talking to my post office and if nothing comes about I will send her another.

Last was Necklace and nail posish swap. I got my pal Haley again from bracelet swap. She made me a really nice Thanks Haley. lifeandtimesofkatiescott.blogspot.com was the host!

So I am going to be busy next week with lots of stuff, I am starting a spray tan business and hope to get it launched by the end of the week. I am so excited! I can travel with it and have parties and all kinds of fun stuff!

My Graduate!

My third oldest graduated last week. My little boy graduated pre-school. This happened a day apart. I planned a bbq for graduation celebration and participated in two swaps. I was wiped out....No kidding. I am just now recovering. We had family and friends out for the graduation and bbq. Yep we got a bunce house for it. Everyone enjoyed it. I have to say that seeing my beautiful little girl graduate was really emotional for me. I will admit it I cried! She is grown up and moving on to the next phase in her life. Then to see my little boy move on from preschool I cried again. The teacher put together a really nice dvd to music of the last two years. He has some really great teacher, we are going to miss them. Here are the pictures of the days events.

Summer Fun Swap

I participated in another swap this one was through Justine who also was my partner! I had a good time with this one. I forgot to take a picture of the stuff I sent her. But her is the stuff she sent me! I had a great time with this one. Thanks Justine! Here is her blog check it out. http://tobininc.blogspot.com/

Flip Flop Swap

Yep, I got in on this one. My husband can't understand why I need more flip flops. You already have five pairs. Yep but I need more variety, I tell him. He just shakes his had. He has to know you can't argue with a girl who has been raised in California. So here are the flip flops that angela sent me. And the cute keychain too! Thanks Angela! I am wearing the green one right now. I wore the purple the first day I got them. I didn't even let the hail and rain stop me!

If you go to my facebook page and click on the left donation box that would be great. I will send you a cute headband that I made with a 20.00 or more donation. Just go to facebook and look for me tami baumann and help out all you can. It is for a really good cause. Here is a picture of the headbands I am making. Style may vary. Just leave me a comment and I will send it out to you.... Thanks for all your help...

Glee

I caught this show on one night and started to watch it. I am hooked. Now I have to see the first half before it starts up again. I love the choice of songs. It's a really good cast and they all have really great voices.
I am working on some craft projects I will be posting on her in next couple days.

Week two..

Yep I made it through week two. I did one mile. It was alittle easier than I thought. The crazy weather does not help, I had to move my days around it. I think that kinda messed me up. But I am going forward. one and half miles starts next week. Wish me luck! One step in front of the other.

I'm Alive....I Think...

ok the reason I say this is for alot of reasons. One I took up running and all I can say is help me. I decided to train for the 5k for the autism awareness fund raiser. (more on that later) I hope that I can get pass the burn and not just in the legs, its also in the lungs, head, all over! My lung feels like it is going to come out of my body and it is only a half mile! Next week I go to one mile.......I hear crickets at this point. My daughter mentioned to her dad that I was training to run this 5K, he laughed so hard he had to get off the phone with her. (There is a reason why he is an ex). Well laugh go ahead,I say I'll show you... again crickets. I have a cause and that is my focus. I will do it no matter what! Also I have a few excuses as to why I have not posted since too long ago, I am busy with new jobs. I have also done some spring cleaning, I took pictures so I will post them. I am also working on some craft projects..again pictures will be posted soon.

Happy New Year

Just a little note to let you know what I am thankful for. MY FAMILY! All of my children and that includes the aquired ones! My hubby, and my parents. I am really thankful for my home it is still like new to me everyday. Being able to be with family is the best. Oh and leftovers.....Hope it is the best for you...

Trick or Treat Swap

I was so glad to participate in this. This is my second one. I am kinda understanding how they work now. My first one I don't think I really understood. I got to make some fun stuff. I am working on an etsy site and hope to have my stuff up I am making. Liz sent me some really great stuff. Just look at the picture. Her site is to the left Elizabeth Gwen, go check her out. I sent a package to Jennie at a welcoming heart. She is also to the left. Both very talented ladies. I am so glad I got to meet them.

Are you out there?

Yesterday marks a big event in my life. My oldest boy turned 26. My baby boy who I missed out on so much. I was so young when I had him. I had alot of growing up to do and he suffered the hard knock with it. I am sad to say my relationship with him is not right now. I do however have hope that it will be again one day. I let him down in some ways and I think he is trying to work through that. I know that I am proud of him and the man he has become. He is currently serving our country and has been for the last eight years. He has a wonderful wife and he continues to make smart decisions in his life. I love him so much and pray each day that he will soften his heart and allow me to be in his life. I so regret all I missed with him. My heart aches to see and be just a small part of his life. I love you my son and will never give up on us. Happy Birthday and I hope it was a really great one! Love Always MOM
