It's Midnight Madness at the Chaos Blog!
Actually, it's 10:30 madness. Although, by the time I'm done with this post midnight should be just around the corner. I know I promised that I would pick the names for the box and earrings today. And, technically it still is Wednesday....... But I do feel bad that I didn't have a chance to do it earlier. Most of my day was spent running around town with my niece getting her settled in. She just arrived yesterday and is planning on going to school here. And, then, Cosme, the boys and I just got back from nightime Seaworld. We put one very sleepy and cranky 2 year old to bed and the other was just reminded of an impending dental appointment tomorrow and went into full meltdown mode. Starting with "it's not fair".....and ending with "I don't want to go".....and in the middle somewhere was "Other people have shiny teeth. Why can't I." It sucks big time. Anyway, here are some pictures of the fun evening.....
Andres waiting for Papa and Carlos to go down Journey to Atlantis.
Note the different outfit on Cosme. It's the $40.00 "I got soaking, dripping wet on Journey to Atlantis" outfit. It's all the rage.
So of course I wanted to do something totally fun and cute to pick out the names. But given the fact that the CEO of Tomfoolery is sleeping right now, I will have to use the random number generator. But I'm too tired to take a picture of the one on the computer....so I will resort to my OTHER number generator.......Cosme. I told him to pick 4 numbers between 1 and 59............ok.....first one is 1.....second is 10......third is.......16.....fourth is 56.
So there it is.....
The winner of the box is Heather at Jeweled Elegance!
The winner of the earrings is Lori at Faeriewindow!
The winner of something fun is Analise at Leesiebella!
The winner of something fun is Cheryl at RoseyPosey!
Yay! I will email everyone tomorrow for addresses!
Ok......next up on the agenda of future posts:
*Why did I think when I opened my Etsy shop that a full time nanny and housekeeper came with the deal so that I could finish projects to put in there. I swear I read that in the fine print somewhere......
* Pictures of my tags and cards for Angelina's Christmas in July Swap.
* Picture of the beautiful collage I got from Jill at JillyBeans aka Follow your Bliss. When I saw it I knew I had to have it. The words are very fitting for me now.
* The continuing saga of having to downsize my desktop. The shelving idea above the desk isn't going to work when I realized that I would need a forklift to access anything on there. And frankly I NEED all my stuff on my desk. Cosme's just going to have to reengineer it.
* Pictures of journals and boxes I have been working on.
*Pictures of the onsie/burp set I did for Donna over at Under a Red Roof, as well as, the new designs I did for Etsy......
Talk to you soon! Karin
HA..... It's 12:30am....It's officially midnight madness!!!! Goodnight.
I hope you were able to get some sleep! I understand on the desktop - I'm going through the very same thing right now! I've even recruited my sister, an objective party to help me organize!

Nighttime SeaWorld looks like a lot of fun! And let me tell ya, if Etsy came with a full time nanny and housekeeper, I'd be right there opening up my own shop! lol

take care,
beth

Looks like a fun time was had by all! I love the dentist/teeth cleaing story. Toooo funny. Not so much for you maybe, but for me as the reader, it was good fun. You've been so busy with all your projects. I don't know how you do it - I can barely get my blog updated and get around to visit people. Everything you make is always so cute!

Love the pics of Cosme and the boys dancing and that one of Andres watching daddy and big brother on the ride is adorable!
Hmmmm wonder why your housekeeper and nanny didn't show up yet? I though they came with an etsy shop.... guess I was wrong!

Congratulations to all the winners!!!

Ok, no fair I was supposed to win! Phooey. I love your posts. I too thought Etsy came with a nanny. Maybe we can go on stike..? No? Oh well.. Maybe I will just go shop instead.

Oh, I am so with you on that breech of contract thing! I swear I remember seeing "on-demand child-care" services under the the FAQs section *grin* Glad to see I am not the only one disappointed by this short-coming. Can't wait to see what else you come up with for the shop...these things are lovely.
