First off, I know a lot of you have been questioning me for months on the status of the next Craftacular. Well, I met with Laura and Sachi from Anthology (my lovely co-hosts for this show) and we have finalized a date!

The Fifth Annual Holiday Craftacular will be held on Saturday November 28th, once again at the Masonic Center here in Madison! We have not yet finalized the times, but the rest of the details will be worked out shortly along with application info.

I am super excited to be working with the Anthology ladies. If it was left up to me alone, there probably would not be a show this year. You see, Ms. Bean is due two weeks before the show! I mean, sometimes I feel like I can take on a lot, but that is just a wee bit much, even for me! So, check back here soon for more details on the show.

On to our outings…

The weather was so perfect (although a BIT cool) last week that we decided to take a trip over to Olbrich Gardens. They were having the butterfly exhibit, but it was so crowded, and I am really trying to watch my money so we decided to just do the outside gardens. It was so much fun though and they were having a little butterfly maze type thing that the girls could answer questions on a booklet and get a free frozen custard. Violet even rode her bike down and met us so we ended up getting to hang out with her too!

Here are a few pictures of the outing.

We also went out to eat and saw Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, so it was a very full day!

Beside all that, I have been working on the invites and details for this guys first birthday. He’s a bit under the weather so it has been a rough couple of days, but he’s as goofy as ever!

I love that last one.. Henri totally ’sings’ anytime there is music on.

I did list a few more coaster sets on Etsy this morning too. They have been moving quickly so go on over and snatch ‘em up if you are interested!

I adore these.

Time to get to the grocery story and get my errands done, then it is work work work until I have to drive down and pick up Zoe from her dad’s house.

And, having been up with a sick baby all night, I think, perhaps, I will need a nap….

Have a great week everyone!
