Onto Aloha Friday

Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your comment below and link in Kailani’s blog. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

This weeks question is:

Are you a person who is always early/on time or chronically late?
I am always early.  Even with 2 kids.  If you tell me you want me there at 8am I am there 10min early.  My husband is the same way.

Because I am not liking posting without a photo, here is one of a new pendant I made.  
I am waiting on a new chain to hang her from.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Dear So and So... wk3

It's that time again. 

Dear readers,
I can not believe it has been 1 yr since Flight 3407 crashed in Clarence.  I can still remember getting out of the shower, turning on the tv and realizing that Chris Cuomo was talking about the Buffalo Airport.  This is what I wrote the Monday after:

Planes don't drop from the sky!?!?

(at least they usually don't)

I live in Buffalo, NY and have been in shock since I first heard the news that Flight 3407 crashed. I decided that I wasn't going to turn on news coverage in front of my 7 year old son. I don't want him afraid of flying or to freak out every time he sees a plane overhead. How do you explain to a 7yr old what happened? We have planes flying over our home all the time. My husband grew up a couple streets from the airport. I worked in a hotel by the airport for years. I do not know anyone personally who died in the crash. I do know people who are directly effected because they new people who died. One of my husband's friends lost 3 of his co-workers in the crash."
Please take a moment to remember those lives lost, Melanie



Dear Lily,
Please stop dumping all of the bins at once.  Our house looks like a bomb went off.
Tired of stepping on things, mommy

Dear Ian,
Please stop yelling at your sister.
Thank you, mommy

Dear Self,
Go buy Just Dance for Wii!  You know you want to, just do it.  You will have a great time.
Ready to dance, Melanie

Dear Jeff,
I know you said you wouldn't play Just Dance for Wii, but PLEASE?!!!!!  You know you wanna do dance to "you can't touch this"!  *giggle*  (I promise to only laugh a little.)
Begging, pleading & groveling, Melanie

Dear Mom & Dad,
LOVE you and thank you for reading!!  Hope you guys have a wonderful Valentine's Day.
HUgs, melanie
PS...still laughing that you have more snow than we do....

You Capture - Work

So here is my work station...

(I will show you what I did with the pins tomorrow)

All of my clay opened and ready to be used.

My workstation again.

And then I have to clean it all up (most of the time I move it to one end of the table...we have a really big table) and make room for dinner and kids projects.

Go on over to I Should Be Folding Laundry to see other You Capture's for this week.
