I have been busy

Well I have been busy doing endless loads of laundry and dishes and toddler chasing. But on rare occasion I manage to have all children asleep at the same time whilst not passing out myself. That is when I get to make things. So here are some more of the items I have sneakily created in a dark room while trying not to wake my family.

This is my newest ring sling I have made. These are angly comfortable, especially with a toddler because she falls asleep so quickly in these things and I still have full use of my arms so I can still push a shopping cart and get things done.

Ok I just love her silly face in this picture.

this is a super soft blankie I made for Minnie with satin binding.

Really easy to make pillows. That reminds , I need to make more!

Free House Party!

So I have been following the couponmom.com website and forums over the last several months because I have decided it is a good idea to save money and couponing is actually pretty fun. It is a lot like a scavenger hunt. Anyway, about two months ago someone mentioned that they were selected as a host on a website called www.houseparty.com and it intrigued me so I went and checked it out and signed myself up to see if I could be a host. A couple of days ago I did get accepted as a finalist for a McDonald's McNugget and Shrek forever after party. Yay!!!! It is always exciting to win things, isn't it? I thought they would just send me come chicken nugget coupons but it turns out it is so much more awesome than that. Well what they do is they send you a "party package" in the mail a few days before your party is scheduled and I just found out what will be in my pack...here it is...

• 1, $75 Arch Card
• 1, Shrek 3 DVD
• 1, McDonald’s Stage M CD
• 1, Shrek Forever After Movie Poster
• 1, Shrek-themed Happy Meal box
• 2, Shrek collectible glasses
• 2 sets, Shrek-themed plates (each set includes 8 pieces)
• 2 sets, Shrek-themed napkins (each set includes 8 pieces)
• 2 sets, Shrek-themed cups (each set includes 8 pieces)
• 2 sets, Shrek-themed invites (each set includes 8 pieces)
• 20, McNuggets of Fun Coin Booklets
• 2 sets of Shrek Happy Meal toys
• 15, Shrek Happy Meal watches
• 20, McFlurry Be Our Guest Cards
• 15 Minute Maid Apple Juice coupons

That is actually way more than I had expected to receive so now I am really going to have to start planning this party right. I'm going to have the kids invite all their friends over and I'll make some green shrek cupcakes I'm sure. I want to have some fun with this. I am still planning so we shall see what comes out of all this.
