I wanted to share another giveaway! My friend Mary told me about this, as she won these rings from another site and said they were beautiful. Entry is pretty low and you can't win if you don't enter! Only takes a little bit of time to enter, and it's free. Keeping fingers crossed!

Dumbo bows
I made a Dumbo bow today. Someone already wants one! He wasn't too tricky to make. I think I have a few other thoughts on perfecting my technique. I've also got a friend who will do a dress for me, so I am getting excited! Although now, Audrey has taken to watching Robin Hood....

Stomach Ulcers
Lawdie, I hate drama!
Somehow I have been caught in the middle of a power struggle or something like that online. What on earth?
So I have been on cafemom and made some friends in my Disney group, so since we were getting along, they made a facebook group. Mind you, this was at least a year ago. I am a "get on, check, write something if I think of something clever or not say anything, and get right off" sort of gal when it came to the group. I like Disney, but I have things I need to do.
Of course while I am trying to plan a Disneyland trip, this all has to bubble up now while I was getting help from someone. She backed out due to personal reasons. Evidently had a falling out with the owner who is also in the group. Now the owner is supposed to be helping me, but I really haven't heard from her.
...Sigh...
I am still clueless about just what happened. Now all sorts of feelings are hurt, I think the original group is no more, and there are 2 secret groups. Really?!
I just want to plan my trip, yo!

Exciting times
I got up at 4 something this morning. And I am just UP! I've got a lot of exciting things I am thinking about, so I started thinking to much when I got up to pee.
I can't believe Audrey will be 3 in less than 3 months!! Where did the time go? I have been planning her birthday already. I have no idea where it will be or who to invite, but I do know it will be Dumbo/circus themed. I have a friend who sews and I am thinking that I will get her to make a dress. You just can't find Dumbo clothes!
Another exciting thing is that I was looking through our finances and I believe we can take a little trip to Disneyland! I am so excited about this possibility!
More on that later. Audrey's up now!!

Spring is here?
We've had some lovely weather lately. It sure feels like spring is here! I hope it stays this pleasant. Also, it would be great if the board of directors to this place would vote to turn on the A/C, as it gets fairly stuffy in our townhome. Other than that, we love our new home. We are so blessed to have found such a nice place at such a great deal!
Since we never really got any really cold weather, certainly not any hard freezes, allergies are bad this year! So many people are just plain sick. I have a good friend get the flu! I've had a dull headache for weeks now. It actually cleared up on our trip to Houston this past weekend, but Brent's allergies flared. Pollen was bad there, as we had just washed our car while there and it ended up yellow within a few hours.
We had a pretty good visit. Of course, we always eat really well when we're there thanks to my in-laws. We got to stay in a hotel while Audrey stayed with them, since Brent's brother Trey and his girlfriend Katelyn came in to town for the rodeo. It was our first time meeting her and she's a sweet gal. She reminds me of my dear friend Shelly, so that's a good thing.
The only thing that sort of messed up our trip was the fact I am PMSing, so I was being ultra-sensitive. Instead of voicing my hurt though, I kept it inside. But seriously, if my MIL started talking about stupid three brothers bakery again, I was going to have to hurt someone. Okay, this is not because of my gluten sensitivity. I tried this bakery BEFORE I was diagnosed. It's the one BIL and SIL used for their wedding cake. So. Not. Impressed. The ONLY thing it had going for it was that it was moist. That's it. I believe one layer was coconut and one was pineapple? Couldn't really tell. Threw most of mine away, as it was just a waste of calories to me. Not the worst I've ever had, but a FAR cry from the best. Why doesn't she bring up our baker?? She's been on flippin' Food Network since then and people are still talking about those cakes. Then BIL started downing private school. Hello?! What was this? "Step on Anne" weekend?! They are looking to buy their first house, but to buy a house based on a school system is frickin' STUPID!! Especially when they don't know if they can have kids or not due to her health problems.
Well, that quickly escalated into a vent, but just thought I would throw that out there. Yes, I do feel better, as a matter of fact. I do have wonderful in-laws, which is why when they do insensitive things, it hurts.
MIL and I had wonderful talks and she offered some advice to Brent while we were there as well. She had a lot of good ideas for him. I hope he pursues them. Brent sees my daddy as a great source of encouragement to him, while I see his momma as my biggest encourager. I love the woman to pieces! Today is her birthday (that's why we wanted to go to Houston) so I hope her day has been great. Brent has been on the phone with her and I am smelling our curry on the stove. It's done and it smells wonderful!!
