Half-Pint

So, I've been workin' on a few things for my Lollishop.
I've made these pincushions using half-pint jars.

Inside the jar, I stuffed in a sewing kit and extra buttons.
I'm kinda addicted to 'em now! Hope y'all like 'em
(and buy 'em) or my house will end up being FULL of 'em!!

Checkin' In!

I thought maybe it's time I check in and update my blog.
I know it's been a while and thank you to the handful of you who do actually read my blog.

Here it is in a nutshell:

I went on my road trip with my pal Ellyn and we took along my favorite cupcake, John Mayer.

Anytime anyone would ask about John,

we'd take thier picture with him.

All but two of the pictures actually came out!

Then I got home and started crafting again
(mostly Halloween stuff).

Then school FINALLY started!
Brendan is in Fourth Grade now and
Matthew is a big-shot Junior Higher in 7th grade!

Now, I'm back to crafting again.
Hopefully, I can come up with some good stuff for my Lollishops shop.
I'll let ya know!

Thanks for stoppin' by!!
Julie xoxo
