well yesterday i was supposed to go to rachel's bridal shower but ended up not going (even though i got the jewelry done that i wanted to wear
:( michael's back has been hurting him so bad, i didn't want to leave him here alone with the kids.
so instead i did the following:
made my very first purse (whoo hoo!!!)
melissa came over last night for dinner (yummy enchiladas that i made with left over taco soup (recipe below) and brownies for dessert.
after she left i got to "work" (the idea of going into my bedroom and sitting in my craft corner and calling it works, makes me feel like i got a super-cool crafty kind of job :)~ anyway...back to the "work" i made three necklaces and four, very cute might i add, rings. thank you so much glitter and craftster for all the inspiration. here lately, i have been "working" almost every day.
its funny. even since i have been beltin' this stuff out, that is all i want to wear...my creations. i guess a true sign of an ar-teest!
now on to that taco soup. i got the basics for the recipe from gooseberry patch messageboards and added a lil bit of elizabeth to it. here goes:
