Just what's going on...

I haven't said anything about Kristina's bachelorette party, it was a lot of fun! I made a fun cake and I'm still waiting for someone to email me a pic of it, I'll post it once they do. We had great food and cake before the Pure Romance part of the party. Her sister made these little chicken bites wrapped in bacon and rolled in a brown sugar and chili powder mixture that were fan-freaking-tastic! It's a Paula Dean recipe and was oohhh sooo good! Then we had the Pure Romance party which is always fun! Afterwards, we headed downtown for one last night out. Kristina and I used to go to The Library every Thursday night and most Friday and Saturday nights, and several Sundays! Downtown was our stomping grounds. Neither of us had been down there in a while, so we don't know anyone anymore, we used to not be able to go down there without running into someone I knew every single time. One of our old bartenders still works there, he's started shaving his head because I guess he was losing his hair, it's not a good look for him! I ran into Ben from high school, he's still hot and going into the fire academy, so he's gonna be a hot fireman! It was a great time, but I think it reminded us that we're not as young as we once were!!

Kristina gave me this necklace and bracelet for a hostess gift and it's sooo stinkin' cute!





I've been pretty busy this week finishing Kristina's quilt, I'm almost done, though...just have the binding and stippling the border left to go. Her rehearsal dinner is Friday and wedding Saturday. I'm going to Whitney's tonight to try making a diaper cake for Crystal's baby shower next weekend, I hope it works out, I got some cute stuff for it! I've also been working on getting stuff to fill the 10 stockings I signed up to do from adopt a platoon. I'm totally jealous of the stockings Erica is having made for hers, I wish I had time to make them, but I do not, not even close!! I bought the plain red stockings at Hobby Lobby (have I mentioned how much I absolutely love that store and could spend every penny to my name there?) I also got some little things to add to them to make 'em prettier, here's before and after:


It's not as cute as the camo ones Erica is sending (I told her the Martha in me is totally jealous,) but I think it's cute anyway. What do you think? Should I add something to it? I'm sure the guys I'm sending them to won't care, either way :)
Well, I better get back to work...gotta pay for my crafting habit somehow.

Your spruced up stockings look terrific!

I think they look great! They will LOVE them.

And I'm totally stealing your Copenhagen idea during NFR...there are always free booths setup and I'm going in there with my "I need chew for the troops" smile on.

I told Heather (the girl helping with our stockings) that I will also need a 6-foot tall stocking. Then maybe Santa will leave me a Marine for Christmas! :)
