Good afternoon, all! So, how much are you loving this weather? I am head over heels in love with it. Yesterday and today, my windows have been cracked open. Today is a tad chillier and the temp is 65 in here. But, I am not about to close these windows, so I threw on some socks and a fleece jacket. I want that refreshing earthy smell drifting through my house.

Yesterday, I got my first sale out the door.

I included a homemade clothespin magnet and thank you note along with the invoice. Nobody likes invoices, but if they include free gifts, it just takes the edge off a bit.

I found this awesome packing tape at Joann’s and was so excited to use it for the first time. I wrapped it onto the front as well, so that it would add some flair to the package.

I also finished up this bag yesterday

AND made a bib AND almost finished a new wristlet. I was finally productive for once.

One more thought. Do you ever look at your children, and you just can’t believe they are yours? I had a few of those moments yesterday where I just stared at Jaxon as he told me a crazy story that he had made up about his sister named Titsy. Yes, Titsy. I am trying to get her name changed to Tootsie, because it’s just not appropriate for a four year old. He’s putting up a fight about this name change. Ha! Anyway, I had to stop his story and grab hold of his scrawny arms and just tell him how special he is  to us and how much we love him. It seems like just yesterday, I was young, and now I have a little boy who is growing like a weed. It’s just such an amazing feeling. And, I know all you moms know exactly what I am talking about. It’s sort of… surreal. But, truly, a blessing from God.
