Text of the page (random words):
he crayon box my show and tell blog for the things i do outside of the classroom tuesday december 4 2012 last minute changes decorations i am learning to be very flexible as a mom i had planned to have the party at our church they have a lovely parlor and kitchen area it has plenty of tables and chairs and a huge stone fire place there is plenty of parking i was looking forward to showing off my church about an hour before the party as we were just setting out my friend called to tell me that all the roads leading to our church were being closed for the hollywood christmas parade this annual event had escape my notice during the 8 years we lived just a block away how i missed this huge planning snafu i can not say however there was literally no way around it so in an instant i changed the party to our apartment i quickly divided up the guest list and we each called and emailed our respective friends i backed the start time up one hour to give me time to clean the apartment and everything came together beautifully many guests had cancelled due to illness was nobody spared the 24 hour stomach bug other friends were trapped on the other side of the hollywood parade so my guest list was much smaller and more manageable perfect for a home party this pretty tissue flower came from the 99 cent only store it was leftover from easter i just replaced the eggs with a matryoshka i filled my christmas door box with party blowers and quickly taped another matryoshka over the reindeer this summer ok six months before her party i found this scrapbook pad by martha stewart at ac moore i instantly fell in love with the vintage look of the patterns and the teal aqua red and pink colorway so this paper was used in all of the decorations for the banner i covered a store banner in scrapbook paper it is held together with brass brads i love it and plan to swap out the matryoshka dolls for raggedy anne next year ikea had the perfect pale aqua napkins i made paper napkin rings on the computer to again tie in the theme we used photos of the birthday girl and a tall desert table for the rest of the decorations i had streamers and a balloon garland planned but it was not to be no matter it just means that i am extra prepared for next year posted by jane at 12 04 2012 1 comment monday december 3 2012 matryoshka birthday party when marilee was about a month old my mother in law nicknamed her dolly since then not a week goes by without someone commenting that she looks like a doll or is a doll so naturally a doll themed party was in order i started pinning raggedy anne and matryoshka doll party ideas i love both themes equally but the gift of this dinnerware sold me on matryoshka for this year i am going to blog one feature of the party a day that way it will be manageable enough to actually complete today i will start with the invitation a quick google seach of matryoshka invites will result in lots of really great ideas and even a few free downloads seriously one thing is cuter than the next i used several ideas from these searches for inspiration but ultimately designed the invite all by myself when i found this picture in my camera i knew it had to be a photo invite creating my own invites also taught me a thing or two about digital scrapbooking for starters i purchased this digital clipart of matryoshkas then i also downloaded several freebies from sahlin studio paying just a few dollars for the matryoshka clip art allowed me to make lots of small party elements and keep the same few doll images i created the picture in pic monkey first i uploaded the background image from sahlin studios then i added overlays of all the other elements finally i added the text then i uploaded the whole thing to snapfish and ordered postcards i was able to order just ten those folks who don t use email the grandparents and her godmother all got a hard copy eveyone else got an email evite to save time and money i used www evite com to customize the evite i used picmonkey and specifically the overlays feature which even allows you to upload your own overlays doing this allowed me to establish the theme while still using a fairly limited template from the evite program using evite was pretty successful and i would do it again having a few hardcopy invites was also great so i did appreciate that i could order just ten postcards stay tuned for other party elements posted by jane at 12 03 2012 1 comment my baby turned one there are so many things i could say about marilee and how time flies and all that but i find myself at a loss for words to describe this year i wish i had blogged it more so i could look back sigh no matter how neglectful i have been of this space i wanted to document her first birthday since her birthday was the day before thanksgiving we had a small little dinner with the grandparents at shakey s pizza i bought her one cupcake and she loved it not sure if any actually got into her mouth but she loved playing with it i loved that shakey s carpet got ruined and not mine we also had a lovely party with friends and i want to document that as well but it s off to work for me for now thank you blogging friends for your love and encouragement over the years my cup overflows posted by jane at 12 03 2012 3 comments saturday july 21 2012 hello again yikes four months since my last post well you know a lifetime has happened during our nearly six year journey with infertility i used to think about all the things i could blog about once i had a baby all the beautiful little dresses i could sew the nursery the funny and sweet things the baby did going back to teaching at 10 weeks pretty much kicked my crafty butt just one day into our summer vacation we embarked on a three week tour of ny nj to see friends and family lots and lots of friends and family it was an awesome trip so yes it s summer but again no time to craft or blog i guess the biggest news is that marilee can crawl we left for ny on her 7 month birthday and the very next day she started crawling she crawled for the first time to my grandfather and it was a miracle so back in 2005 my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer wanting my future child to know him we actually started trying earlier than planned we even hoped to surprise him with pregnancy news at his 80th birthday party that year ha let s just say i have learned a lot about control and timing in the last six years my grandfather used to say if you are worried pray and if you pray don t worry wise but very challenging words i wish i could say i followed that advice oh sure i pray but i also worry plenty fortunately many others prayed for us too including some of you dear friends the cancer came and went and came back again then i was told that he was starting to have memory problems and like the rest of us he just wasn t getting any younger god truly does know the desires of our hearts and this summer marilee crawled for the very first time to her great grandfather it was a moment i will always treasure he was an excellent coach and spent a lot of time on his hands and knees demonstrating the proper form and offering encouragement encouragement indeed the picture says it all they are buddies on my husband s side of the family marilee met dozens of relatives at a huge family reunion she poured on the charm and was a perfect baby betsy ross we had a wonderful traditional small town 4th of july best of all we even got to see great aunt kate who was born just 100 years and 11 days before marilee we also had lots of time to get to know our two nieces who are each 16 months old it was the first time we met either of them and watching our girls play together was an incredible sibling bonding experience for both cliff and i other updates i am still nursing surprised to say that i do love it it has overall been a great experience i am both ready and sad to start a slow and gradual weaning process for many reasons it s time but i just can not believe how fast this year is whizzing past me someone on tv mentioned that there are only 3 1 2 months left in the election campaign and i nearly started crying because that means i only have 3 1 2 months before marilee turns 1 that simply can not be accurate i did love co sleeping for the most part there was nothing sweeter than watching my babe sleep and wake up together as a family it also worked pretty well for me to both nurse and sleep at the same time while working but gradually she began to drink less and less pumped milk from a bottle and rely on the night feedings more and more by the end of the school year we had regressed to feedings every two hours all night long the last week of school she went on a bottle strike in addition when i would nurse her down i often fell asleep myself i would wake at 11 or so having wasted my whole evening and all my free time while traveling our accommodations schedule and the fact that she could crawl made co sleeping mostly impossible and unsafe so we strapped her into a swing stroller or rock and play sleeper this worked pretty well and set the stage for transitioning to her crib so we crib trained her this past week upon our return home it was absolutely horrible and just fine at the same time the key was to finally move her out of our room and into her own room she raged a bit and that nearly killed me but after a few days in her own room she is doing great at self soothing guess what i have rediscovered my husband he was so afraid of rolling over on marilee that he stayed strictly on his side of the bed and for my part i was more often than not asleep at 7 30 we were both very committed to co sleeping and tried to make time for each other so that it wouldn t adversely affect our relationship but it wasn t ideal now we actually get to chat or watch tv together at night without fear of waking up the baby this weekend i started pulling out a bunch of stuff that i had saved for a nursery soon i will have pictures nothing fancy just a diy thrifted and gifted space i look forward to being here a bit more now that i have some free time in the evenings thanks for reading posted by jane at 7 21 2012 4 comments sunday april 15 2012 reading nook we have this strange little corner nook in our living room when we first moved in my father thought it was just crying out for a statue lots of ideas were suggested but we left it blank until this weekend it took me two weeks to get some ten minute ana white 10 ledges built but they are done now and i am thrilled with the results i have made a bunch of these ledges and i love them all they are easy affordable and quick especially true if you don t have a baby afraid of the drill imagine that my kid afraid of the drill maybe it s for the best probably so i got the idea for the planter thing from this pin the adorable lamb rug is from aunt piper via red envelope of course i have all sorts of geeky teacher plans to
