Went to lunch with my bff yesterday and he politely reminded me that I hadn't updated in awhile... lol... Just haven't had anything big happen yet... no money has magically fallen out of the sky..... and I can't make money till I get money. Just a real frustrating time of year for me, and well.... I'd rather have my pitty party all by myself. So.....
I have been slowly plugging along on the big bird houses. Even made one for Mom and Dad to go on their Christmas tree. I rack my brain every year when it comes to them. They have everything they need....And I just don't think they could put any more pictures up of the kids if they tried.... But then I had this bright idea to turn a birdhouse into a ornament.... and I think they'll love it!! I think hand made gifts are really the best gifts:)
I've been reading a lot of books and watching a lot of movies from the library. Well...not really reading, but looking at lots of books! I love books with big beautiful pictures!
Oh, and my oldest turned 15 last Friday! People tell you kids grow up quick, but you really don't realize the truth in it till it happens. It seems like just yesterday I was bringing him home, wondering what in the hell to do with him....lol..... I was 16 when I had him, and now that I look back at it, I laugh because I have no idea how we survived! I was so clueless.... And yet I thought I knew it all. Then one day you grow up and realize you really don't know anything. And before you know it, You see your kids thinking they know it all..... Vicious cycle, huh!! lol
OK.... Pretty sure I won't be back until sometime after Christmas~ So I hope all of you have an amazing holiday:) XXXOOO
Until Next Time...

I know all to well how lack of money can put a cramp on the holidays and in mini-making! I hope some money does fall out of the sky and bless your life very soon! Also my bun is still in the oven for now but I can't even imagine 15 years down the road! Its a good reminder to hear from others to enjoy every moment since it goes by so quick! Hugs and Merry Christmas to you too! -Ara
Katie!!! So nice to see you posting! I was wondering about you and I can't wait for you to put up your pics. =)
Katie, Tell oldest son "Happy Birthday" from me. Have you thought of doing more of the birdhouses in larger sizes? I wouldn't be surprised if they would sell very well in gift shops. How about making the smaller ones into earrings? Are there any gift shops around where you are that you could show them to? They are too cute! Very shabby chic!
Almost forgot to say Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Katie, come back here once in a while so we know all's well with you :). Love reading your heartwarming stories, even if is just a short update.
I am finally going to start putting together all the things but my parcel is likely to reach you only well after Xmas. Like you said, the "BIG PLAN" (mine is to send all my gifts out way on time) frequently does not happen :).
Happy Christmas to you and to all your family with lots of love!!!!
hugs from Lisbon

Merry Christmas, Katie! I hope you have a lovely Christmas with not a grinch in sight!!
