My handsome little men

A friend of mine does photography (ok several of them do) but this one needed practice with older kids. So she practiced with my kids. They weren't totally cooperative but I think the pics really show their personalities lol Here's a few of the pics from the shoot.

That was fast...

As of next week I officially go Full time at the gas station. I was offered the position of 3rd assistant manager and I took it. We could really use the money and it's a good opportunity so I took it! I had no desire to go FT when I started but now it just makes sense since I work close enough to FT as it is. Might as well get paid more too LOL

End of a Journey

For the last 5 1/2 yrs I have had my own little crafty business making children's items. It started out making baby blankets and slowly grew and grew into making over 10 different items for kids! I have gotten to a point I don't have time to sew as often anymore and I'm shutting it down :(. No more craft shows, no more online sales (aside from an occasional order for friends). 5 1/2 yrs isn't too bad though!

I am clearing out my inventory as I still have quite a bit so anyone is interested please let me know :) The lists are in my myspace blog at http://www.myspace.com/shannonscreations2006

I will be listing fabric on there soon too so I can clear out my many many drawers and totes of it and make some room in my craft room!

Thank you all for your support over the last 5+ yrs I couldn't have done it with out you all!!
