Craft Shows Galore!

Well, Our Favorite Things has been quite busy recently! We had a table at Ladies' Night at our local Super Suppers on Thursday, which went really well. My sister-in-law joined us for the first time and I think she enjoyed herself...enough to make her own craft name and blog! :) For the price of a yummy meal (which was not required but we know the owners and wnated to help them out!), we were incredibly busy for the entire two hours! It was a good night!

On Sunday, we had an Open House at my sister's house from 1-5. Our Mary Kay friend and my sister-in-law were there again, and we all did alright. It wasn't quite as busy as it was at Super Suppers, but it was fun to sit and chat with people in a casual atmosphere. We even had some people that NONE of us knew who came because a friend of theirs raved about us after Thursday's show! We have fans!!! :)

We have two more shows in April back-to-back on the 18th and 19th. The 18th is a craft bazaar to support a Race for the Cure 3-Day team, and the 19th is a craft show/yard sale to support a Relay for Life team. Two great craft shows for two great causes! My sister and I know both of the groups who are running them, so we're excited to be involved. I do believe that the sister-in-law is joining us for these as well...I think she might be a regular! :)

Things are going well with Our Favorite Things, and I'm trying to pace myself in getting ready for the April shows. I sold a whole lot of my inventory last weekend, so I'm trying to restock with some of the more popular items....like Vera Bradley prints, florals, and my new rounds that have sold pretty well. I have made about 30 in the last two nights, just during my nightly TV watching. Not too bad for a mom with a full-time job and three part-time jobs...

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it ...

Bath Time Photos!!

As promised, here are lots of photos of Abby's first bath. Caleb was supposed to be in bed, but the bathroom is right next to his room... "I'm not too sure about this..." Once she learned how to splash, she was all smiles! Her first good hair wash! Gotta protect the trach! She really liked getting water poured on her head.  It was cute! Smiley (and bubbly) for Daddy while he dried her off. All clean!!  (Note the Lysol wipes in that last picture.  They are NEVER far away!)

Imagination Movers Photo Recap

Seriously, The Imagination Movers were so much fun!  They played lots of their own music, with some classic rock mixed in for the adults.  There were also quite a few jokes and references to Baltimore, which was kind of fun.   The whole night centered around this robot named Rock-o-Matic, or "Rocko."   This is Mover Scott, and he wears Wobble Goggles that help him see new ideas.  Caleb and Abby have a pair of goggles too.  :) There are 4 main Movers that are part of the TV show, but they have 2 extra movers to play instruments and do back-up vocals in their live tour. Abby finished up her feed before the show started so that she would be free to dance! My dancing queen did NOT want to sit in my lap.  The row in front of us was empty, and that is where she stood almost the entire show--dancing the night away. My Imagination Movers  Caleb did his share of singing and dancing too.  He knows m...
