They had a wonderful time blowing out the candles and opening their presents.
Abby got an Sansa shaker MP3 player with headphones.Billy got a blue scooter,and Ty had a green scooter.They also have had a lot of fun playing with their cousins last evening.

Behind the Scenes of Etsy

I thought you all might enjoy seeing how I list stuff for my Dad on Etsy!
Here are some pictures that show you the steps on how I do it!
I want to give a big thank you to Noah (my brother) for letting me use his camera and sometimes his laptop.
Check out Dad's Etsy store because I just added more stuff and will be adding more the next two days!

The first step is getting everything organized and priced

Here is the back of the back round that I use to take the pictures of the stuff

This is the front view of the back round

With the the items I start with a group of items that are in a collection

Then I take the individual item pictures

Here is another back round that I use

I use it (the coffee table) for longer items or items that don't match the "happy" back round

Tuesday Night With Po and No!

For the last couple of weeks my Mom and I have been going to a Bible study on Tuesday nights.
Which left Dad and Noah to look after the children.So Mom came up with the idea of making it a special night to do craft projects,cooking goodies,or play games.Mom nick-named it Tuesday nights with Po and No.The story behind the name is that the children call Dad, Papa,but Papa still did not rhyme with No(which is short for Noah).So they decided to call Dad Po so it would Rhyme!
Sounds kinda silly,I know,but the children loved it.Last night was the first night.They made marshmallow people and took lots of pictures.
Here are the pictures that Noah took of there fun night!


P.S. Check out our Etsy Store Mini listed in the side bar!

Here is Billy with his great marshmallow man!

This is such a cute picture with Dad holding Abby's hand to hold up her marshmallow lady!

Here is the group having such a great time!

This was Ty's creation,although we don't quite know what it is!
