TA-DA!! My etsy store!!

I was going to wait until I had a fully stocked store to introduce it to the blogging world, but... that's about as likely as me mopping the floor tonight. It just ain't gonna happen. =) But, I do have a little collection going and it has gotten a good (but slow) response, so that gives me the courage that I needed to keep adding my crafties to it. I decided it was probably time to tell when friends (ok, friend. Becky!) were finding out through random websites that I had an internet store! Haha!

Anyway, check it out! www.missmaceymoo.etsy.com -- my awesome friend Hilary designed my banner and little avatar.

I've been making bracelets for about a year now, and have made my 16 nieces and Macey I don't know how many bracelets... and they all seemed to like them, so I figured why not?! So, now you know. I feel all exposed.

Tell everyone you know!! And if any of you want to place an order at any time, be sure to let me know first and I'll give you a deal! =0)

P.S. For those of you in Cache County, I have bracelets in the salon Revive. It's a super nice salon (Randy's cousin owns it), they sell Bumbles there, too!

Slippers

Slippers are Macey's two favorite things in the world. Yep, two. She calls her chap stick/lip gloss "slippers". It's really weird, because she refers to my lip gloss as lipstick or chap stick, but she simply won't understand what you're saying if you call her chap stick anything but "slippers".

She is also obsessed with real slippers. Problem is, she doesn't have any. But she does have a pair of super worn out pink mary janes with princesses on the sole that she says are her slippers. They are pictured two or three posts down, I think. I hate them. I don't know how many times I have put them in the DI bag, garbage, or just hidden them somewhere I believed was Macey proof. Wrong. They always show up, on her feet... and usually the wrong ones. If it wasn't for the stinking princesses, those things would be long gone by now.

So, I'm sure you see where I'm going with this. Of course I have purchased many glittery lip smackers for her slipper pleasure for stocking stuffers... and last night I bought those cutie patootie princess slippers that are pictured (50% at Smith's Marketplace!). I am SUPER excited... mostly, because I know these cute slippers will immediately replace her non-slippers, and I'll finally be able to get rid of them. But also because she has inherited my love for all things girly. =0) Even if she has weird nicknames for them!

You surprised, Clark?

Since Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase is a family favorite, and it's that time of year, I thought it was fitting. If you don't "get" any of my quotes or think that picture is funny, I highly recommend you watch this show. Again and again.

Last week in Primary there was a sign-up sheet going around concerning the food for the Ward Christmas party this Saturday. Of course, being in primary, all the easy stuff had already been taken up since we're always the last ones to get things like that. Anyway, I saw "gravy for 30 people" and wrote my name down really quick. Gravy's easy, I can do that. Good gravy!

Well, the activities leader called my house last night to say she would be by my house this morning to drop off the "stuff". Ooooook? Like, a brown gravy packet? Or two? Uhm, wrong. She shows up with a 20 lb. TURKEY!!!! Apparently, I missed the little part about COOKING a TURKEY and making gravy for 30 people. Why you cryin'?

So, now I am doing lots of research on how to NOT screw up a turkey. I've never cooked one before... and honestly, I was hoping that day wouldn't come for years. I am praying that I won't be crying and saying to everyone there "I knew I put it in too early!"

Any tips for me?

I wouldn't be more surprised if I woke up and my head was sewn to the carpet!

Head, shoulders, knees and toes

knees and toes, knees and toes.

Head, shoulders, knees and toes

eyes, ears, mouth and nose.... and booger and booger!

This is what Macey sang (while pointing to each of her nostrils respectively) tonight. Awesome.

What a pair.

This is probably the only time Lucy will willingly go near Macey... when she's not a threat, just a warm body to cuddle.

Why?

My visiting teacher was pointing out that kids have a 50/50 chance of putting their shoes on the right feet.... well then, why is it that 99.9% of the time they put them on the wrong feet?

SO TRUE.

Yay! Boo.

I haven't unpacked a thing from our trip. Boo.

My new Christmas tree is up, with my new(er) decorations. Yay!

I wasn't feeling well on Black Friday, so Randy got up and waited in line at Home Depot to get said tree.... at 6 in the morning. He got the last one (7.5 ft fir shute tree, led lights, regularly $200, on sale for $50). Boo for being sick, but Yay! for Randy!

We had an awesome Thanksgiving dinner. 2 turkeys, 1 ham, gallons of mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls and a plethora of desserts. Yay!

The one thing I kept going back for at T-day dinner.... was the pickles. Boo. (pregnancy!)

I went and bought my own bottle of pickles... and now they are all gone, and I am stuck at home without a car today. Boo.

Chuck is on tv tonight. Yay!

I can't find out the gender of this baby until Dec. 15th, I'll be 23 weeks. Boo.

Macey slept in this morning until 9:30! Yay!

My house is messy. Boo.

We came back from our trip, and what do you suppose we found? The smart mousey in a trap! YAY!

Lucy the kitty is a cuddler, and is sleeping on my lap as I type this. Yay!

There is no snow on the ground. Boo.

Time to go start on my to-do list. Boo. But hopefully Yay! for the end result.
