Along Came A Spider

A Little Self-Indulgence Never Hurt Anyone...
Right? After I stopped crying about turning 35, I quickly got over it and went shopping! I decided that since there is nothing that I collect, I should probably start! I am so in love with the Halloween Villages that are all over! I did a bunch of research on them {Ebay and Google totally qualify as tons of research} and decided that I love the Lemax Spooky Town Collection! I am all over it. Especially since they have it at Michaels and those pesky 40% off coupons come every week! Plus, they are much more economical than the Dept. 56 Villages. I bought these 2 to start my collection. My husband thinks I am nuts. Mainly because I will drive 10 extra minutes to a store that has a sale to save $5 or to use double coupons- but I thought nothing of spending money on these. BUT- that is what he thinks! They were on sale!! And I have wanted them for a long time. I just broke down and got them, finally. Also, on my way home from Michaels, I stopped and got this:
I just love my lattes...
I started some very cute {I mean, terribly spooky} Halloween spiders and ran out of black glass, so I have to head to the glass store in the next day or 2 so that I can finish these up & get them on Etsy in a timely Halloween manner!
Lastly, if there are any of you mothers who were wondering about this book, I bought it just so that I could trick my kids into eating vegetables! Mainly Jake, Zoey will eat anything I put in front of her {for now}. I wanted to make the Sweet Potato Pancakes, my kids love to eat waffles and pancakes for breakfast everyday. I ended up making about 5 dozen pancakes and freezing them. They love them, we all do! And I know they are getting some veggies, at least for breakfast. I haven't had too much time to make any of the other recipes, but there are tons and they are very kid friendly meals. Gotta love the retro/vintage look of the book. It reminds me of my moms old Betty Crocker books from when I was little!
That's all for now, hopefully my next post will be full of Halloween creations!!
Have a great Tuesday~ Lisa

Little Things

Some details:
This will look cute in Zoey's room. I like how it turned out so far. It's lined and everything! I am sure she will have fun filling it up & toting it around the house. I'll be sure to post final pics next time. I am going to try to finish it up today!
Lastly- My little man headed off to pre-school today! There were no tears, for me, anyway. My husband just called to see if his school wanted me to pick him up yet. Apparently there were tears for him. Hopefully he will still want to go on Thursday!
Have a great Tuesday!! ~Lisa
