A Very Fun Giveaway

Two of my friends had this on their blog and I thought it would be fun. There is so much doom and gloom out there right now that sharing fun things makes everything a little better. So, don't be sour pusses and come play. This is super easy and I think it will be fun.

The first 5 people to respond to this post will receive something made by me for you.

I get to pick what I make for you, but it will be especially for you.

But here's the deal:
~
1 I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! (My craftiness is limited by my ideas... But I'll try to make something cool:)
2 What I create will be just for you.
3 It will be done sometime this year.
4 You have no clue what it will be.
5 I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? The catch is that you must repost this on your own blog
and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on their blog.

The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did will win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me!!

Also, in your comment leave a nice thought. Wheather it be a memory or nice compliment I don't care. Just something that you think will make me smile. I just might work a little harder on whatever I make for you.

So come and play along!

And I will blog about what I make and how this all turns out!

First off, I get to announce a big Congratulations to my sister Heidi who gave birth to Issac James Wilson Sunday, February 22, 2009. Both mom and baby are healthy and well. I am sad I can't be near Heidi to help out and see the new little one but I am happy they are both doing well.

Over President's day weekend we went up to my parents for a visit. It was nice to see most of my family. Friday night my mom was watching my nephew Carter. Spencer loved playing with Carter. They pretended to eat ice cream, they played peek a boo under this blanket for a long time, etc
My mom loved having Spencer around, and Spencer loved being with his nanny. They always have fun times together. Spencer beams with happiness every time we go to nanny's house.
I can hardly believe how fast Spencer is growing. This picture was while we were at my mom's but now Spencer sits up almost entirely on his own. Last night we went to dinner at a friends and Spencer sat on the counter for 30 minutes by himself(with mom right behind him to catch him at any moment).

Spencer at Work

I am one of the luckiest girls in the world. I get to spend most of my time with both of my boys. I get to bring Spencer to work and help Mark out at our store.
Spencer is really starting to learn he can reach for things as exampled in this picture. He loves to help me open the mail at work and play with the envelopes. I think he tries to lick the sticky part:)
He usually takes a few small naps...
but once in a while we get him down for a long nap like this one. I love that he is still holding on to the toy. He is growing up so fast! We sure do love our little guy. This weekend we are going up to visit with my family. So, until next week Happy Valentines Day and Happy Presidents Day!
