I've been brainstorming ideas for what would be fun to make and that people might actually want to buy. Since my custom silhouettes are selling pretty well, I thought I would expand on that idea and offer custom wedding invitations with one of a kind silhouettes! I have a lot of ideas in mind for designs and whatnot but for now, this is what I have come up with to place in store and I will keep working at other stuff in the meantime. I'm hoping that these will appeal to somebody out there!

Why do I get so paranoid about the mess it creates? Why do I let my laziness get in the way of the good times I have when I create with the kids? Why have I let myself miss out on seeing how creative my kids are?! They really surprised me today with their cleverness. I even stole some of their ideas for my own Valentines!</div><div><br /></div><div>I started by showing them a craft I remembered doing when I was in school. The classic heart guy with accordion arms and legs. Do you remember making these? So simple and the girls really enjoyed putting their own twist on these little characters. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7hp0RWi5nnw/TVQsi_z73NI/AAAAAAAACSc/PO08MHWryuk/s400/jenna.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572127618720586962" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wiGP06GVNVs/TVQsjAymS4I/AAAAAAAACSk/9YXBeWPEF60/s400/marah1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572127618983414658" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px; " /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7hp0RWi5nnw/TVQsi_z73NI/AAAAAAAACSc/PO08MHWryuk/s1600/jenna.jpg"></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-08ryAQr2qCo/TVQsDr-hM2I/AAAAAAAACSU/pN5C7_rL9rs/s1600/heartgirljen.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-08ryAQr2qCo/TVQsDr-hM2I/AAAAAAAACSU/pN5C7_rL9rs/s400/heartgirljen.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572127080820323170" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 270px; " /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S5dc15kretI/TVQsDfrGZPI/AAAAAAAACSM/y3LmuX97iCA/s1600/heartgirlash.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-S5dc15kretI/TVQsDfrGZPI/AAAAAAAACSM/y3LmuX97iCA/s400/heartgirlash.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572127077517649138" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Then we made monster valentines for any boys on the list.

This year I have been having a bit of trouble getting into the spirit of the holiday due to a bit of a battle with depression that hit me with no warning.

We always have a great time and the girls look forward to it each year. It's hard to believe that next October Alex will be the same age that Marah was the first time we took her! As I was going through the pictures I took on Sunday I was struck by how sweet it is that we have these pictures of the kids each year and how much they have grown. So I thought I should post them here and wish you all a wonderfully pleasant October and harvest season! We are certainly enjoying it here.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"></div><div></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"></div><div></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">2007- Marah (3) and Jenna (7) </span></div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CFciUYgI/AAAAAAAAB9Y/qBlzvyqJtOM/s1600/girls.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CFciUYgI/AAAAAAAAB9Y/qBlzvyqJtOM/s400/girls.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529578210063573506" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 371px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"></div><div></span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">2008- Jenna (8), Alex (2 itty bitty weeks!), Marah (4)</span></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CFcyGY9I/AAAAAAAAB9Q/Y1htJg8g6CA/s1600/fam1.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CFcyGY9I/AAAAAAAAB9Q/Y1htJg8g6CA/s400/fam1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529578210129765330" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"></div><div></span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">2009- Jenna (9), Alex (1), Marah (5)</span></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CE7b2TbI/AAAAAAAAB9I/FwS5774pf5c/s1600/fam2.jpg"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CE7b2TbI/AAAAAAAAB9I/FwS5774pf5c/s400/fam2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529578201178066354" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"></div><div></span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">2010- Jenna (10), Alex (2), Marah (6)</span></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CEucojZI/AAAAAAAAB9A/Wjgcf7ppuOg/s1600/fam3.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CEucojZI/AAAAAAAAB9A/Wjgcf7ppuOg/s400/fam3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529578197691698578" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 301px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"></div><div></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">And then, just because I couldn't resist, my little gooby-goob each year on the hayride :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"></div><div></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">2008- 2 weeks</span></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CYzVk0ZI/AAAAAAAAB9w/4uDn2EFeFIE/s1600/alex1.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CYzVk0ZI/AAAAAAAAB9w/4uDn2EFeFIE/s400/alex1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529578542601654674" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"></div><div></span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">2009- 1 year</span></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CYWR7fGI/AAAAAAAAB9o/l4GlwCGCwQ4/s1600/alex2.jpg"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CYWR7fGI/AAAAAAAAB9o/l4GlwCGCwQ4/s400/alex2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529578534801734754" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"></div><div></span></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span">2010- 2 years</span></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CF2jPFwI/AAAAAAAAB9g/vZUS4jzAeT0/s1600/alex3.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_dVYIAv-Wfog/TL0CF2jPFwI/AAAAAAAAB9g/vZUS4jzAeT0/s400/alex3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529578217046742786" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"></div><div></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"></div><div></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Sigh... memories.
