Mom E Time Creations

So, many of you already know about this, but just in case you don't....

I've been having so much fun crafting with my Mighty Machine that I finally decided to start a (very) small business to personalize things for friends and family. It's called Mom E Time Creations.
I've been starting slow, just getting orders from friends so far, but it's going really well. For now, I created a Facebook page and don't plan on opening an Etsy store just yet. My reason for this is because I really like being able to work back and forth with someone to make exactly what they are wanting. I think this might be difficult to do through Etsy, since it is a little more impersonal.  But, maybe eventually.

Here's my logo that my friend, Ashlee, designed for me! I love it!

I'm actually just launching my first big "sale". I found a vendor that sells blank garden-sized flags ready to be decorated.  Here are some designs I've worked up:

 I'm so excited about all the things I'll be making this fall and holiday season.

So I invite you to visit and "Like" my facebook page. Just click this link: Mom E Time Creations. You can look through the photo albums to see the kind of things I make. Feel free to share with your friends and family.

Visit to Iowa August 2013

At the beginning of August, Eric, the boys and I spent a week in Iowa visiting family.  We couldn't have asked for better weather either. I don't think it got above 85 degrees! We had lots of fun at Aunt Amy's house- especially terrorizing Banjo, her cat, and playing in her huge yard!

We went to the Iowa State Fair and got to see lots of pigs, cows and other farm animals. Caiden got to work in the Little Hands on the Farm section.

And of course, we had to see the famous butter cow.

then we left Des Moines and went to Gilmore City to visit Eric's grandparents. The boys loved picking vegetables in the garden. And Caiden wanted to learn how to climb their big tree.

Other days we spent with Grandpa Doug and Grandma LeAnn.  They took us fishing. Caleb wasn't so sure about the life jacket, but I was sure he'd try to jump in the water!

Another day they took us to a lake for a boat ride, some swimming and playing in the sand.

The boys had so much fun spending about 90% of the day outside.

We were spoiled all week with great food. Fair food, Adam's grilled steaks, Marv & Georgia's huge lunches, and Doug & LeAnn's yummy meals. I enjoyed not havign to cook for a whole week!  And we even conviced Caiden to try some new things- like the sweet corn that he picked himself.
