Losing weight the right way!

2009-05-07T15:24:00.002-04:00

I have an ebay friend who's husband lost almost 100 lbs. in less than a year! No weight loss pills and none of those off the wall diets, either. How awesome is that?! Anyway, she posted in a group we're in that she has decided to write an ebook on how he lost that much weight. There is alot of stuff in her ebook and well worth the money she's asking for it....only $1.00!!
I checked out her website today and I must tell you that he is an inspiration to anyone wanting to lose weight the proper way. The ebook is 70 pages and includes 11 recipes!!
Please check out her website and see for yourself. They are wonderful people and truly blessed!
If you purchase her ebook, tell her that Tammy of Poplar*Street*Kids sent you.

Thank you!

Could Spring be Here????

2009-04-25T15:08:00.002-04:00

Finally.....some BEAUTIFUL weather today in South Central PA!! 86 degrees, sun is shining and time for a burger on the grill. I've managed to list some ebay auctions today, do some tweeting, get some well-deserved sun, scrape wallpaper border and plant some flowers. Break time sure feels great right now. Waiting for the dh to get off work and then it's back to the yard to do some more work. Lord, why can't we have this weather all year 'round? I know, it's an appreciation thing! Well, going to brew the afternoon coffee and do some more work.
Oh, here are the 2 auctions I listed this morning.

My Kids on the Local News

2009-04-18T11:31:00.004-04:00

My sons, Justin and Quintin and my soon to be daughter in law, Lexi, decided to go fishing on Friday at Kiwanis Lake. Fox 43 happened to be there on the gorgeous day and filmed them! How exciting! Obviously, we watched the news last night and Quintin enjoyed watching himself that much that he had tears flowing! How cute! LOL He said that it was the best day of his life!!! And he's only 7! Watch the clip....

What a weekend!

2009-01-05T15:29:00.003-05:00

Well, I decided to have my "Meltdown" BEFORE I took Justin up to Fort Indiantown Gap! Yes, the upset mommy here, but I'm proud and do wish him well in what he's doing. Yesterday was my meltdown day. Couldn't help myself. I was up bright and early this morning...4:30am, to be exact. Picked him up at my moms at 5am and headed up the highway to drop him off for bootcamp. He will be having a graduation, which I'm still not clear on why, but they're having one on Thursday at The Gap and I will be there. He, then, will head down to South Carolina where it all starts! 9 weeks of bootcamp. From there, he will go to Aberdeen, MD for training for 13 weeks. Good thing is, he will be able to come home on weekends from MD as long as he's a "good boy"! LOL
Note to self.....take camera to the graduation on Thursday! LOL

New Year's Eve Already!

2008-12-30T23:45:00.002-05:00

So, I've been busy getting everything ready for New Year's Eve! We're having a party, but not just any party. My oldest son, Justin, is leaving on January 5th for bootcamp for the Army National Guard! So we decided to have a "send off" party on New Year's Eve for him.
We've got family and friends coming and we're going to have a blast! I'm hoping he enjoys his evening. He and his fiance are going up to Hershey to watch the KISS drop, which should be fun. I've never gone to any of those events as my husband and I like to stay home where it's "safe"! LOL
We'll be eating plenty of food, drinking plenty of drink and playing lots of games and hopefully getting a movie in. My 2 oldest kids, Miranda and Justin, have decided to have a ping pong tournie! I think I'll have a glass of champagne punch before I play! LOL Maybe I'll win!
I'll be sure to take some pic's of the festivities and share them all. Can't wait until tomorrow night!

Merry Christmas!

2008-12-27T13:42:00.004-05:00

What an awesome Christmas we had! I'll be adding our Christmas Eve photo's as soon as my family emails them to me.....YES, I forgot to take pic's on Christmas Eve! We hosted my families' Christmas Eve festivities and I must say....we had a BLAST! Tons of food, games, drink and fun! We are truly a blessed family!
Enjoy the pictures of Christmas Day!

Sledding in the Summer???

2007-08-14T10:56:00.001-04:00

They just couldn't wait for the snow!!! My son, Quintin and his little friend, Paige decided it would be fun to do some sledding in the middle of summer. They had a blast sledding down the grass hill in front of our house. We live on a golf course and get alot of golfers here. A family showed up for some ice cream at the snack shack next door. They had twin boys that decided to come over and join in on the fun! I'll bet the parents never thought for one minute that they'd be eating ice cream and watching their boys sled down a hill in August!
What a day!

I Love my Daddy!

2007-08-10T13:53:00.001-04:00

Ok, so this is what I came up with out of the shirt and dress pants posted earlier, which by the way were my husband's! I really love taking lightly worn clothes and turning them into something new! It's so much fun.

A bit about Me

2007-07-17T13:10:00.000-04:00

I know I started my blog last week, but now I do have a bit of time to tell you about myself. I learned to sew when I was younger...boy was that along time ago! I didn't really get into it until my first 2 kids came along and that was along time ago, too. Miranda is going to be 21 soon and Justin just turned 18. WOW! I used to make them clothes and Halloween costumes. I took a break from that for a while UNTIL I had Quintin, now 5 and Tavin, who is 18M. After trying to find cute clothes for Tavin I decided to get back into my sewing. And of course, I had been selling odds-n-ends on eBay and stumbled across the Boutique World on eBay! Wow, some amazing designers. Well, I thought I'd try my hand at it. I'm new to the world and to tell you the truth, I LOVE IT! The frustrating part is being new and getting people to BUY YOUR STUFF!
I had this email right after listing my very first 3 pc outfit and it was a design group asking if I'd like to be a part of their group. I had no clue what to do or what was going on, but they loved my style and I said, sure I'd love to be a part of your Design Group!
So that's where SassE comes into play in all of this. What a super bunch of designers from clothing, shoes, jewelry and more.
Here is a picture of my very first Boutique Listing.

And here is the exclusive Design Group that I belong to!

Search SassE for the SassE girls' listings....You'll find me, too! Or you can search IDbyTM.

My Little ROCK STAR

2007-07-17T12:08:00.000-04:00

Even though I design and make 95% of Tavin's sets, I still buy when I find something way too cute! Here's one called Rock Star by Robin of PolkadotKidsDesigns. She rocks! And my sole jewelry maker is the bomb, too. Sherry of lindee's*boutique makes the best children's jewelry. She made this set to match the rock star outfit.
