Update!

I am going to start blogging about the Etsy purchases I make. I can't wait to start talking about the items I buy there! I always find such neat things!

I really have been doing well in my Etsy store! I have 116 sales in less than 6 months! I think that pretty good! I added ribon headbands to my store and they are a hit! I have several repeat buyers and tons of new ones! It has been fun and I have been so busy in December! I need to find time to make more dresses so when spring comes I will be stocked up!

Ellen is talking so much now! She asks questions, talks in little sentences, and is turning 2 in few weeks! Wow!

We are happy in our new home! It is nice living on this quiet road. having only a couple neighbors. Although we do miss Minier, we plan on moving back there some day.

We are remodling our basement right now. I can't wait for it to be finished! It will be so nice to have that area for TV/movie watching and for Elle to play in.

My new business!

So, I started making dresses for Ellen. And it got to the point wear she was never going to wear all of them! With me always looking for ways to make money and start a business, I thought I should start selling them!! I remembered Etsy because my older sister Rebecca always bought us such neat handmade items from that website. So I started my own!!

I sell ruffle top and original pillowcase dresses. Along with skirts and ruffled socks! I have been in business for just over a month and I think I am doing great! :) I hope it keeps up!

Visiting the Oakley's

Yesterday we went up to Hudson to see Aunt Kimmy and Cousin Luke. We watched the kids play. They are actually interacting a lot now! They were even fighting over Ellen's bottle. Ellen was drinking it while playing and Luke came up and pulled it from her mouth. Luke tried to drink from it but Ellen kept pulling it away! It was a tug-of-war fight!! They were both squealing and whining! It was pretty funny!
Tonight we are having our "Valentines Day"! Since i am in school on Thursday nights... We are making a nice dinner for Daddy and exchanging gifts! Should be fun!!! Ellen even has a Valentine shirt to wear from Old Navy! LOL

Creative Ellen

The other night at dinner Ellen discovered bananas are sticky enough to put on her face and they will stay. She placed each of these bananas on her face. She was making herself laugh because she knew she was being funny! Needless to say she needs to have a bath after almost every dinner now! Daddy washes the dishes and I wash the baby! Ha, ha!
