Summer Swap

Crafty Daisies had a summer swap, you had to make at least one item, then stuff a flat rate box full of summer stuff. I thought this sounded like a fun swap. My partner likes cupcakes, polka dots, gerber daisies, pink, and 50's houswives. I had fun putting this package together.  This is the first swap I've done, where the recipient hasn't let me know she got her package. Luckily I had delivery confirmation. I also haven't recieved a package....that's kind of disappointing. I hope I don't sound like a whiner, LOL!

I send cupcake liners, sprinkles, picks and a magazine with cupscakes. Coasters, key chain and tissue cozy. Pedicure stuff, candles,snowcone cups, recipes with a summer CD and a vintage housekeeping book. I think that' it! Happy Summer!

1st Communion

Time is going way to fast these days. I can't believe it's the mid May already.  I think there's only 3 weeks of school left YAY!!!! Anyway, Madyson had her First Communion on Sunday. She was sooo excited. She'd been counting down the days for weeks. Back in the fall I had thoughts of making her dress, but I really don't think I could've done it. Maybe I'll be able to make her prom dress someday, LOL! I did make her veil though :-)  We had a nice party afterwards were her best friend Billy's family.  I was thinking back on the first day Madyson met Billy. We were at a softball game (their sisters played on the same team) and I introduced Billy to Madyson and said they'd be going to kindergarted together. They played together the rest of the game (and every game after that). After the game Billy and his Dad were walking me to my car and Billy was talking and saying how I should be come friends with his mom, and we could go on Summer vacations together and maybe we could have holidays together and it would be so great.......and on and on and on. I thought it was so cute and funny. Now here we are 3 years later and guess what, Billy's mom is my best friend, we've been on trips together, we've celebrated Holidays together and they really have become part of our family. What a smart little boy! Here are some pictures from the big day. I guess the next time we see her dressed like this will be her wedding!
