Christmas is Just around the corner!
Seven more days of shopping Christmas is just around the corner! I wanted to have a Holiday boutique at my house but unfortunately the weather hasn't helped and unexpected small emergencies such as having our water pipe break on a rainy day and having to fix it making more unexpected damage. Our concrete had to be cut in order to get to the pipe and fix it. And mother nature who can go against it. I have a Sizzix die cutting machine for sale with 17 die cut blocks and 2 sets of abc die cuts complete sets. I have posted the pictures at facebook since it's taking for ever to post here I will try again later.

Happy Thursday! Almost Friday! It is nice to see the rain after a long super hot summer. But not so good when you have to go to work and drive on the rain. Good thing is it wasn't raining on my way to work anymore only by my house. I've been working on crocheting more stuff and finally after 2 years I am able to make little baby shoes! I have so far 4 pairs done, working on some boots. Although I still need to work on my store haven't gotten any sales yet. Can't wait to have a Craft sale and try to sell my stuff. We are almost done cleaning the garage there is so much room now I can't wait to start working on my cards and scrap-booking.
You know now that my daughters are in a new school, I have to say, what's up with all the super healthy strict district rules for a party. Yes why have a holiday party when you can't really take anything. What I mean is the teacher asks for students to feel free to take any goodies for a party but there's an attention to parents. Make sure they are individually wrapped, healthy no more than 175 calories, stay with the district guidelines, no homemade food, low fat less than 42 grams of added sweetener, and if you do so bring enough for 35 students. Oh wait, it's according to the Healthy and fit the Wellness Policy guidelines. Now this is my point of view what the heck with the lunch? Do they follow this policy? Because I have to either send my girls with snacks and lunch sometimes, or they come home starving. And another thing its free lunch for all, just in case there are children who don't have enough food at home and depend on school free lunch' well how sad for them to have to eat this food that is packaged, frozen, unhealthy, and unappetizing. I still don't understand how school lunch has improved when I believe is worst than when I was in public school. "Nachos", can any one tell me the healthy and wellness about having "Nachos", for lunch? Soggy frozen pizza.
I wanted to have my daughter take a veggie tray from the market but I can't, it's not individually wrapped! At least when I was working at another district parents had a handbook with a list of items they were able to take. Something like that would of been helpful.
