Pandamonium Blog - Ramblings of a Crazy MaMa!

Wow! This month seemed to fly by faster than any others this year so far! I'm will say I am glad it is just too dang hot for comfort and the closer it get to the Autumn months the happier I am. Alot has been going on especially since I haven't posted in a month, keeping busy busy is what I do :) Here is a little run down of what I have going on to bring you and the blog up to speed. * I started working back at the Salon by appointment only, I had a bunch of appointments * I went to my first Scentsy Workshop. It was in Colorado Springs and I had so much fun and I came home with soo much cute stuff! * I drank lots of iced COFFEE! * Went to the drive-in movies a couple of times * Ate lots of BBQ! * Participated in our first ever backyard yard craft fair and it was a raging success! * Started vending at our local farmers market on Fridays, my sister and I have really been enjoying doing this, it's so much fun. (minus the heat!!!) * Most importantly my mom brought home the mo...

A little view from my window. It's finally actually snowing here in Pueblo, Colorado! Other than the fact that the roads are completely icy and I can't really drive anywhere I soo happy it's snowing. It's been coming down since about 3 pm Thursday off and on and right now (around mid-night) there is a pretty steady downfall of flakes. What a perfect way to end a pretty good year. Not too much has really happened this year but it was pretty good to me. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming year and all it's surprises it brings. Here are some goals I've decided to work on in 2011! * Pay off some bills * Get a DSLR * Build my savings account * Buy a new car * Lose 10 lbs. * Ride my bike a ton * Go on a little camping trip this summer * Discover 5 new bands * Go to more shows * Load/Update my Etsy shop * Participate in at least 3 craft shows * Build my stock for the craft shows * Get my blood sugar under control * Go to Zumba Most of the goals are fairly s...

I'm done shopping, I'm done wrapping! I'm still working on some Christmas orders though. Hopefully tomorrow I will be done. I have been scarce online lately due to all the orders and work. I love the holidays but man they are busy. I haven't really even done much baking either. How is your holiday season going!? Merry Christmas!

So it's Monday, we all know I don't do well on Mondays. Today is actually going by kinda fast though so it's not too bad. Last night we had our first snow here in beautiful Colorado! It was so pretty :) I'm currently in the midst of organzing my very first "Ugly Christmas Sweater & Cookie Exchange Party". I'm beyond excited for this little shin-dig. As my mom said "Ugly Sweaters & pretty Cookies sounds like a good time!" The rules and regs for a good time! 1. Bring two dozen cookies 2. Bring a copy of your recipe to share 3. You can bring a container to take your cookies home if you would like 4. If you don't bake or have time bakery cookies are ok! 5. Wear and ugly Christmas sweater, the ugliest will win a prize I'm having the guests rsvp what cookies they are bringing to avoid having multiples of the same recipe this way we have a good variety. I think I'm going to make a few batches just to snack on too. We will be s...

I just love holidays because you get I get to have all my family in one place at one time! Today I had time around 2pm with my family than I had to work from 4:30-7:30, my roommates are cooking here too so that will be round two for me! It's been super duper dead here at work so I finally got to watch part 2 of the Bad Girls Club reunion. Which just happens to be my gross guilty pleasure! he he he! I just can't help myself. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day filled with loved one whether they be family or friends. I know I have soo soo much to be thanksful and I just feel blessed for everything. Happy Thanksgiving! xoxo. Ren

I decided to take the night off from crocheting and let my wrists rest. I use them all day long for work and then I'm knitting and crocheting while I'm working and I don't want them to burn them out since I have quite the work load yet to work on. I did finish 2 more owl hats and a green peoni hat. Not much else is really going on around these parts. Jeremiah and I need to find a good spot to take our annual Christmas pictures. I would like to take a little trip up to the mountains but we shall see. I'm so excited for the holiday seeason. I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping which is AWESOME! Then I can focus on all the fun and meaningful parts of the season. This year since I am staying with friends we will be decorating here. It will be pretty neat since this is going to be the first year they have ever put up a full size Christmas tree and went all out with decorating. I just love the feeling of holidays. Last year felt weird for some reason and I ...
