Not a whole lot is going on here in my world. I have a lot of crafts that I would like to do, but my time is being completely obsorbed by my work schedule. Here is a little insite into me:
I am currently doing Operation BPO aka Operation Bill Pay Off. I have roughly $14,000 to pay off in credit card debt. Now before you start judging me...know that some of the money comes from my divorce, but then I went out and spent some money. It made me feel better to buy things like Make-Up. Trips to see my sister. Plane tickets for auditions. Not wise choices, but choices I made non the less.
So, I'm not working my rear off to pay that down. I mean it started off as almost $24,000...so I'm doing pretty good. But that means at the moment I'm working at my full time job, my part time job, at the end of March I will working a part time part time job (choreographing for Christian Youth Theatre), plus I seem to pick up some 2 hour jobs here and there. But it's great to be so close to being done with it all!
I'm taking it one day at a time and just trying to enjoy the moments I have in between the hours of work. So, for now there might not be any craft projects. But hopefully soon, I'll be back!

Craft Day with Aunt Amy Follow Up
Okay, so things did not turn out as they should have. I think my crafts were meant for older kids. Also it would have been easier to have a 2nd person to help.
We did the hand print ornament, it worked with the 4 year old, mostly with the 2 year old...and not at all with the 1 year old.
We did the paper plate snowman! 2 & 4 loved that. We even hung them up and took pics by them.
I'm so proud of the themed snacks! The little ones really loved those! The snowman bananas and reindeer sandwiches...great idea!
We were going to do a marshmallow snowman, but I did not realize how long little kids take to do a craft. It's crazy.
While one of my nephews was at a birthday party and my niece was taking a nap, I got to share a cup of hot chocolate with my younger nephew. We snuggled on the couch and watched an old clay-mation movie. That night I took my nephews on a carriage ride around our neighborhood to look at the lights! We had a great time!
I will try some of these crafts again when they are older! The really great news is my sister and brother-in-law got all of their Christmas shopping done! Mission accomplished for sure! I will try to put some pics up, if I remember.

Fun and Crafty Weekend with Aunt Amy!
It's my first time to blog. I'm not sure if I will be good or consistant, but I thought it seemed like a fun thing to do! I also do a lot of crafty things...sometimes they work and others they don't. Which is why my blog is called "Try it girl". I'm considered crafty, but what I like best is that I'm not afraid to have things turn out bad. It's not the most fun thing, but I'm okay with it. Because it has to get better....right?
Here we go:
It's finally the weekend!!! I told my sister about a month ago that I would watch her kids (4,2,1) for the day while they go Christmas Shopping. Then I started thinking...they might need to clean, wrap, or just recharge their battery for the upcoming month of December! So, we set a date and I have been trying to plan what to do with my little baby nephews and niece!
Here is what I have planned:
A- the baby girl (1yr old) we will do a hand print ornament, a foot print reindeer, and a paint in a bag thing to keep her occupied (the hand and foot print things were found on pintrest)!
R- 2yr old- he will do the same crafts as A. He will also be doing a paper plate snowman as well as a marshmallow snowman, and finishing up the craft day with a noodle necklace!
L- 4yr old- he will do all of the same crafts as R, then do a Thumb Print String of lights, and a Santa Candle holder!
I'm not sure how they will do. I think they are so smart and seem older than they are...so we will just have to try it out!
I'm also planning on having some winter theme snacks and food!
Banana Snowman, Reindeer Sandwich, Christmas Tree pizza, and Snowman suckers!
Other items on my to do list:
1. Decorate my room for Chirstmas
2. Re-do my night stand
3. Make Pajama Eaters for nephews and niece
4. Maybe make an ornament for L
I'm going to try to post pictures as the day goes on...fingers crossed!
