Did everyone get a chance to mail yesterday? We can't wait to see everything!
Right now the Chinese bendy dolls are sleeping in the cave that Kris made, lol! The lantern is hanging over Kenna's table and the wall hanging is hanging over Holden's table. We were busy this weekend setting up the 2 train tables in the living room, one for each kid, again, in the hopes that Holden will not eat Kenna's bendies and destroy her table if he has one of his own. So far so good! Kenna is in full Chinese New Year mode. Every activity we do (whether it has to do with China or not) she narrates with the following ... "And now we are doing a traiditonal Chinese x, y or z" , and "I am wearing my traiditonal CHinese clothes" , and "This is my mom, she is doing traditional Chinese cleaning", and on and on, She has been doing this all weekend!

Dear Mom and Dad- I may parent differently than you did. This does not mean that I think you did it "wrong." However, it also does not mean I am doing it wrong.
Zoe-Ann, you are just getting traditional Chinese acupuncture
I will let you know when the package gets here.
Kris - I think I will keep her forever She drives me nuts sometimes but she is so darn cute! The things she comes up with are hysterical!
jaden and i haev already discussed it. her and HUnter are going to live next door, well fi they really decide they need to spread their wings, my mom lives 9 doors down, so they can move their
but ofcourse i have already told them that i want to keep them at home forever
My brother used to have this grand plan for his life (when he was 4-5; he's 19 now). He was going to marry our cat (yes, the cat) and live in our house 9my parents' house) and let my mom and day live in the basement.
Kenna always comes up with these odd things to worry about, like when she has babies she will have to still live with me because otherwise she will not know where things are (things meaning places that she wants to take her kids, places I take them to now), so I guess she'll be with me forever. I can live with that!

how cute is that, JAdens big worry abotu havign babies is what if they bite her when nursing her brother thinks its the funniest thing in the wholw world to chop down every now and agian
my brotehr used to say when he was little, if he coudlnt marry my mom, he'd marry a house....let me tell ya he married one heck of a house
Kenna's big worry today was that she didn't want to have babies because it was going to hurt a lot because her the hole in her vagina is too small and a baby is too big, lol. So I ended up having a long talk with her abotu natural childbirth (which I had with Holden) and epidurals (which I had with her). She decided to go with the epidural, lol! Because, you know, a girl's got to be prepared (at 5!)
that is too funny, I had an epidural with Jaden too, adn a natural birth with HUnter unfortuntaly it was at the hospital
but jaden has already told me she is havign her babies at home because that is just were babies shoudl be born! (shes 6) so its good to know they are thinkign about it
and you;ve got lots of time ti teach her all aout hypnobirthing (which i strongly recommend)
ok - i am sooooooo sorry it is taking me so long to finish these....but i am so happy with how they are turning out! i found a pic of a dragon face and cut out all the features with different origami papers and scrapbooking faces. that took me forever - with only being able to do 1 or 2 features a nite with ds's new NON-sleeping pattern!
now - i just want to get some asian fabric for the tail (was gonna use it differently before but with how cool the faces turned out - it needs something more elaborate) and modge podge to cover and seal the whole face. (could i just use thinned glue instead of modge podge? i want to sorta seal all the pieces of paper) so - i'll be done very soon............
also have the tiny animals patterns cut out and ready to stitch and stuff - that won't take long.
good news is that i am ahead in the other swaps!!
so - ets is monday..........is that okay???

I do have a die cut machine.. (well actually it is at my partners house across town).. and I could easily do the treasure boxes.. "if" I had that die.. lol. It is the largest die machine- can cut 14 x 17 inch pieces.. and does fabric easily. http://www.accucut.com/GrandeMARK_br...ath1,135.html?
I have a great guy that makes my custom dies.. if you have something that you make frequently (dies are around $40-$80) I would be happy to do trades. This guy's custom dies are actually cheaper than buying premade ones. So if you have a pattern that you are sick of cutting- I can get an estimate.
I have considered making bendy clothing ones.. but really.. how many am I making? But if there was interest, it could be done.
Or even.. if you want pillow boxes or other little boxes with your Motherhues logos on them to package things.
She has been doing this all weekend!
