i'm back

or at least i think i am back. my computer has been doing some very weird things, things i don't understand but it seems to be working now. i didn't want to get my hopes up but it's been 48 hours or perfectly working macbook pro {and i even got all my applications back-including PHOTOSHOP} or at least for now. i'm still quite nervous- but im starting to smile again. i've been staying busy doing crafts, sewing, etc. i baked some chocolate chip cookies, i mod podged some old books for decor, i made some button flowers and put them in a salt shaker--but my most fun project was my $5 baby bed for Madison's baby doll! .99 cent fabric & ikea baby bed for 2.99 at goodwill- i'd say that's a steal! no worries blogger friends--i am working on getting more to share, please keep checking back--more photos, more crafts, ideas, etc. and thank you to mr. starkey for kicking my butt back into gear and motivating me to finally post again. and enjoy the photo of my new charm necklace purchased at the beach--it's my new favorite accessory! more to come :)
