dyk last night I was chatting with my sister who over reacted as I mentioned

dyk she's all how could he keep lying and cheating and I just thought we were moving forward and I can't handle this

dyk I had to point out that he didn't lie to her, and he's not cheating -- he is divorced and he can date whomeever she wants

dyk I was quote unpopular for a few minutes...

dyk I told her the problem is that she thought Ty was stronger in character than he is --

dyk I have always known he wasn't and that he was quite spoiled and whiney so I am not all that surprised at the events that have unfolded

dyk I also finally laid it out to her that his exwife is not an innocent victim which she did NOT want to hear

dyk the start of: Pinkabi Rose Sheds Her Skin

Pinkabi Rose was a little garden snake. She lived among the beautiful wildflowers that grew by the edge of the pond in Sweet Meadow. Every day while Pinkabi slithered around the wildflowers of the meadow, past the rocks on the shore and into the shallow waters of the pond, she thought about what it would be like to shed her skin and grow up. The more she slithered, the more she thought, and the more nervous she became because she had never shed her skin before.

dyk -- the fabric

dyk I can do cutesy cutesy perfectly matched solid, print, stripe type stuff.. or layering a texture over a solid but I was really, really trying to be "designer like" and match prints and textures and OMG not a skill I have honed

dyk at one point I almost left Hobby Lobby with NOTHING

dyk thank goodness I was near a WiFi hotspot for my phone b/c I sent about 8 text pictures and 14 texts and some emails to ofriends with what I was looking at etc

dyk in the end -- when I moved over to the high end $25-$50 per yard stuff.... I found exactly what I was looking for and it all came together

dyk whew! here's what I got

dyk here are the bracelets -- they will be used to "roll up" the napkin rings and then be the party favors -- I've got one for everyone

dyk my sister made them and is overnighting them to me tomorrow

dyk it's hard to photograph them but I begged her last night so she did -- she said the pictures don't do them justice she used lots of swavarski crystals to make them "bling" haha

dyk Dek has mastered the vacuum and is working his way through the living room

dyk good for him

dyk he has tried to be done a few time but I have encouraged him... haha, to continue and make sure to do the entire room

dyk we try REALLY hard not to go back and redo any of the chores that they are to do -- so "encouragement" for completion is important. haha

dyk the floors are done in the living room -- so thus ends the play by play lol

dyk Abi made a baby rattle weapon (lol) by filling an empty plastic water bottle with some small rocks and then shoving a 3 foot stick into the opening so that it is very tight
