9 Mar 2010 - quick and easy swap

9 Mar 2010 - Welcome Taylor Vonne Wiltz

Congratulations to Jessie, Lindsey and Brooklyn. Taylor weighed in at 9#15oz.... WOW, big boy.






although he was quite a chunk, he has some respiratory issues that required him to be transferred to Stormont's NICU.




such sweet little ears.




Big Sissy was able to see him through the window, but was more interested in her sippy right now.

19 Feb 2010 - swap goodies I recieved

Earlier I posted photos of items I made for a craft swap.... here are the items I recieved from Margie Joy.

a very cute, shabby chic wall sconce


a tea wallet... how did she know. (also has spaces for single servings of crystal light)


a WONDERFUL tote bag.... it's huge!


had crafted earrings... the beige beaded ones are my favorite, but they're all pretty


plus she added a cookbook from her retirement community as well as 3 small chairs for my Pullip dolls.

Thanks Margie!!
