Here is a picture of Skyeler with the girls. They had a great time with her and Kayla just talked her ear off the whole time. The girls had to show her their rooms and every toy in the house even our cinnamon rolls from Costco.
March 1994 - April 2009
Today started out pretty horrible with me having to put my cat that I have had for 15 years to sleep. She lost a bunch of weight so we took her to the vet and it turned out she had cancer. So this morning around 10:00 we had her put down.
It is always hard to let an animal go as I am sure many of you know. I got Puss- Puss when I was in eighth grade. I was away at boarding school when my parents moved to Northern VA. My cat Leo ran away as soon as they let him out of his carrier in VA and I called everyday for the last two weeks of school to see if he had come home. He hadn’t. So two of my friends went to a place where they saw free kittens and go me a kitten. When mom and dad came to pick it up they had found my cat Leo but they let me Keep my little kitten that I named Tiffany.
My mom decided that Tiffany was not a good cat name and started calling her Puss- Puss. I have always hated that name and it is so embarrassing. My mom used to stand on the front porch yelling for Puss. One time when my brother was in high school he had a bunch of his guy friends over to party. A few of them spent the night and the next morning my mom came down and asked the boys “Hey boys did any of you see Puss last night?” Of course mom was asking about the cat but the boys were totally shocked.
Puss-Puss has been with me through a lot. She was the first cat I got that was mine. She was always waiting for me to come home from college. When I got my first apartment and was living all alone she was my companion. She kept me company and was there to welcome me when I got home from work. When Denno and I got married she hated Denno because he took her spot on the bed. After about 6 months she grew to love him because she figured out he would pet her all day long.
All the girls have loved her so much especially Hailey. Hailey loved to hold her and pet her. Puss-puss will be sorely missed. She was a great cat and I loved her very much. Today was a hard day but it was very nice to know I have such great friends. Thank you to all of my friends for their kind words it has truly helped me through today.
I made this bracelet for a friend who I went to college with who just had her 1st child and it was a baby girl.
This is the set my I made my friend Heather. She actually came over and picked out the colors she wanted.
This is the bracelet I made Maddy. Of course it had to have a frog charm on it.
My youngest daughter Hailey loves to wear necklaces. Every morning she has to put her necklace on when she gets out of bed. So I had a bunch of cheap beads around the house and Kayla & I used them to make Hailey a bunch of necklaces.

My very wonderful cousin and great friend Emily Gale Chrisman is 30 years old today! I wish I could be in Springfield, IL today to celebrate with her because she is such and important part of my life and this is a big day for her. When we were little we were inseparable and best friends and worse enemies all at the same time. We fought like sisters but we were always there for each other. She has always been there for me and I am very lucky to have had someone like her in my life for my whole life. I love you Emily and I hope you have a very wonderful birthday.
These pictures are of me and Emily when we were little. I am not sure how old we were in these pictures. Emily is on the left and I am on the right.

Everyone should be recieving their Easter cards today so i am now going to post all the ones I made. Hope you like them.
Okay everyone I am trying to reach a personal goal of $300 in sales each month during April, May, and June. So what I have decided to do is offer and extra $30 dollor in hostess credit to the first three people to book a show and have at least a $300 show in each of those months. That’s right I am giving you an extra $30 in free merchandise. You can book your show in 1 of 3 ways.
1. You can have in-home workshop.
2. You can collect orders and have book show.
3. You can do a book show and have a party at home and I will send you the projects to do w/ step by step instructions.
With these three options that means you can have a show even if you aren’t local. Please email me at aehuse@verizon.net if you are interested in booking a show. Hope to hear from you soon.
I made a few sympathy cards. Have a look.
Monday is Denno’s cousin Samantha’s sweet 16th birthday. We celebrated with her and her family today and were very happy to get to celebrate this special birthday with her. Sami is Madelyn’s God mother and is a wonderful young woman. She is a good role model for our girls and Denno and I are very proud of her and feel lucky to have such a wonderful person in our lives. We decided to get Sami and IPod nano for her birthday since 16 is such a big milestone. Here are pictures of the card and bag I made for her special day. Happy Birthday Sami!
I made this card to send to my Grandpa who made me the hope chest in the previous post. I usually have a hard time with masculine cards but i cased this idea off of splitcoast stampers. This card uses one of my favorite stamp sets Lovely as a tree. I used chocolate chip and always artichoke card stock.
Here is the link to the card that gave me the inspirations for this card:

I am so lucky to have such a thoughtful, talented grandpa.
