My First Giveaway!

I saw this on a friend's blog and thought that it was a fun idea! So here it goes:

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2- What I create will be just for you.
3- It'll be done this year. (might be a little while)
4- You have no clue what it's going to be.
It may be a story. It may be poetry or an article on properly cleaning your face before a masque. I may draw or paint something. I may bake you something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. (this was written on the post I copied and pasted here...I'm not sure I'll be able to think of something extremely strange).

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog.The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!

I'm Still Alive

Sorry for the lack of posting... I have been SO busy with packing, unpacking, cleaning, and tending to very sick little kids (my daughters went from having Hand, Foot, and Throat Virus to a TERRIBLE cold, to ear infections in both of their ears for a grand total of 4 infected ears) . This is the first week in about a month my girls have been well. We are packing to go to Walt Disney World (in Florida). We leave Saturday. When I get back I will post about Christmas and our vacation, and other random beautiful pictures of my daughters!

Help! I've Stood Up & Can't Get Down!!!

For all of you who have heard the popular phrase: "Help I've fallen & can't get up," you haven't met Ally who is now making the phrase "Help, I've stood up & can't get down!!!" popular!!

Thanksgiving

The first Turkey I've ever cooked by myself (it was a 21 pound bird for the whole Trost family)

Beautiful bird, if I do say so myself.
