Wonderful Wednesday Craft Night

After a long hiatus for the holidays Amanda and I are finally ready to announce our next craft night at Amanda's house Wednesday February 16th at 7pm.

Please bring a snack to share. 

We are going to be offering Growth Charts, Chalkboard Menu Boards, "I am a Child of God" Boards, Birthday Card kits and Birthday Calendars to keep them organized and Flowerpot Pens. 

Money and orders are due to either Amanda or myself by Saturday February 5th (we changed the date from January 29th).

Also if you have a suggestion for a craft you would like to do please let us know. The Growth Charts were requested by a few people. Since Amanda is having her baby in April/May our next craft night won't be until July. You can make your request either by email or commenting on this post.

Thanks!

Train table

I have a train table that my dad built. It is blue and on casters so it rolls really nice. It used to have drawers, but my kids sat in them and broke them. If anyone wants it they can come get it. It is the perfect size for 2-4 year old kids for cars or trains or whatever. Let me know. If it's not gone by tomorrow night I will post it on craigslist. We just don't have room with the new baby.

Saturday Afternoon

Hey! If you kids get a little squirrely on Saturday afternoons like ours we want to invite you to come play a game of soccer with us at the Park with the football posts and the skate park. I think it's called Santa Cruz. Anyway, the one right of Rancho Sahuarita Blvd. Bring the kids and some water and let's play until the kids are tired.

HUGE Garage Sale Jan 14 and 15

Sisters,

I'm getting married (yay!) and will be moving to UT at the end of this month. I am pretty much going to be selling almost everything in my home (with the exception of my piano, of course! and a few other things)... I'll update later with a list of items but I have a front-loader washer and dryer (Neptune), sofa, chair, ottoman a ton of clothes (women's size 12 - professional, Ann Taylor; young boy and toddler girl) and some toys that have to go, a BOB double jogging stroller as well as a BOB single jogging stroller.... Kitchen items... It's going to be huge! (The money from the garage sale is what I hope to use to move me and the kids to UT... so every little bit helps!)

Jan 14th is Raytheon's off-Friday (for most of us...) so hopefully that makes it easier for you to swing by. That day will be more about just coming into my home and seeing what you might want. Jan 15th will be more like a traditional, open the garage and pull items out garage sale. (I'm only publicly announcing Jan 15th, so you sisters have first shot at things you might want/need!)

Anything I can't sell on the 14/15, I'm going to take with me and sell on eBay...

Thank you all!
