Tag and much much more

First of all, Jared and Liz had their baby on Wednesday! Yea for them! Hopefully we can head up and see him and visit for a while tomorrow, but money is very tight, so I'll have to see how that goes.
Second of all, Emity tagged me with a photo tag. I've actually seen this one around on quite a few blogs, but here's the deal . . . the rules are, go to your fourth folder, and fourth picture, and blog about that (I've been seeing it 6 and 6). Well, I don't have my pictures in folders, so I went to my fourth "event" and picked the fourth picture from that.

Like Garrett, I do believe this picture has been seen on my blog before. This is our trip to California last April. We went to visit Garth's cousin Cari. Did a little Layers party, but really, had a great time with Cari and her family. It was a great trip. I was actually just thinking about it yesterday. This is our trip to the beach, in case you were wondering. It was pretty cold and windy, but we had a good time just the same. I would really like to go again, soon!
I tag Becky (I think Amy tagged you already, get with it would you! :P) and anyone else who reads my blog that hasn't done this one already.
Thirdly, I feel so crafty! It's costume time at the studio, and making sure everyone has all their costumes and stuff has been very stressful. This amazing lady in town makes dace costumes, but she doesn't have all the accessories the big companies do. So, I have been running around (along with Garth) trying to find enough buttons to accessorize this one costume. Then I get another costume she has made and realize it needs something added to the front. So, I decided to make a flower to go with it, then thought, I need a hair bow or something, as well. So, I headed back to the store for more orange flowers. Then realized again, the costume we went hunting for buttons for needs something for the hair too. Back to the store (only to find that the buttons we searched MANY Walmarts for were back in stock at my store) for ribbon and stuff. Then, I decided to have one of the classes make these cute dance skirts out of tulle (like the one Liz and Madeline gave Taylor for Christmas). So more trips to the store for tulle, ribbon, and flowers. It's just been crazy! Costumes are tough! But with all my flower making, I made a few for my girls' hair too.

The top three are just flowers I did for my girls, the two bottom orange ones go with a costume, and the other bottom two are left overs from the ballet skirt project so I made them into clips for my girls.
So, not am I only so crafty that I make people (ha ha hayley :D), I make hair accessories too! I still have to make the other orange costume hair ribbons and realized yesterday that I need to make a green flower for a green costume too. But, my Walmart doesn't have any pretty green flowers, so maybe that will be my excuse for going up North tomorrow, totally a dance expense. I can go for that, right?
Well there it is . . . A post (a long one too) when I didn't really think I had anything to blog about. Most of it is ramblings of a mad woman, but hay, that's my life! :)

wait. i'm confused. i don't make people. at least not yet - wink wink. but the people you make are some of the cutest out there. do you think that i think that your only talent is making cute kids? cause while i am extremely impressed, i realize that's not all you've got to offer. ;)

Hayley said...

oh and yes, i agree - a mad woman! but i love that mad woman.

Hayley, I was only referring to the flair you sent me, that's all. :) It's one of my favorites.

Those flowers are super cute. Don't let anyone (yourself included) tell you you aren't crafty. I got to see the sweet baby today, he is a cutie. Jared is one proud daddy, of a boy and the first "Ward" grandson to carry on the family name, since some of us just have girls. Does any of that make sense? I seem to be having a hard time with that tonight.

Cute flowers! I always knew you were crafty-- besides, you can tie the best bows in our family. :D
Congrats on the nephew
How are YOU and your little one doing?

Hey TORI! Hey i was just wondering if when you go to portriat express if you could pick up my necklace. Its a silver peace sign. If you just put it on the desk in the studio that would be AMAZING. Thanks :)
