Frustrating

K I haven't forgotten to post the blog site, really! I have had a frustrating time trying to figure out a way to get my pictures on the darn computer. Our other computer died, so we are getting the motherboard warrantied. The one we are using now is not meant for much and so doesn't have a card reader in it. Then I tried using my hubby's laptop and it wouldn't read my card! Grrr.
Sigh. So when I can get those on I will post them on that blog and give the address here " ) Technology is so great... that is until it decides to suck " )

Coming Soon....

I am starting to sell the crocheted hair decorations that I make! ( flower barrettes, headbands with flowers or none, matching hat's for Mom and Daughter etc.)
I have had a few people ask about buying some so I thought... What the Heck?! I'm gonna go for it!

I am really onlly trying to cover cost though, I love crocheting and creating fun things " ) So soon I will get a some pictures of some of what I am doing and will also start a blog for them.

Here is one BIG reason I am posting this... I don't have a name! I would like you to please leave a suggestion (if you have one) in the comments " ) If I use your name then I will give you 2 free items in colors that you want! Be Creative! (I keep telling myself this in hopes that I'll come up with one more original than "Bethy's Barrette's", but to no avail)

Thank you and keep checking back so you can get the address for the Barrette blog!!!

Candy disaster, Christmas and Snow!

Candy Making " )

Me and one of my very Best Girlfriends Jana attempted to make some candy this year for nieghbor gifts. Actually we did pretty well, except the first attemt at caramel. It didn't turn out so good, look for yourselft " )

Holds it's shape real well "/

and could break your teeth " ) 2nd time was the charm, it was incredible! I do belive we will make this a yearly thing.

Jeff's Christmas to his Mom

I am so incredibly proud of my hubby for this one. He sculpted this for him mom for Christmas. In the Stocking family we have to make a portion or all of the present for our person, money can be spent on supply's though. He made this one because he loves the poem or quote about the tree starts from an acorn. So precious and I swell with pride every time I see it. Jeff is so artistic " )

Christmas Eve:

Instead of listening to the nice story of why we celebrate Christmas he thought it would be time better spent wrestling with his cousing Caleb " )

Christmas Morning!

Couldn't get his eyes off the train for enough time to take a picture, he LOVED the train Santa brought him " )

Snow play

Playing in the snow with mom and dad, so fun!

Snow fort

The laying down Dinosaur I tried to make a different time " )

Eating the snow, he would stop walking and drop to his belly and start attempting to get a mouthful " ) Love it!

Could I have had a cuter boy, I think not " )

All in all a great holiday season!!! We all got spoiled by Santa, husband and family and had SO much family time that was so fun.

Actaully this is the last Christmas for atleast 2 years that my side of the family will be all home. Before that at Thanksgiving it was the first time in I think around 5 years we had all been in the same house together. Now Ben my cute little brother got his mission call!! He is going to Florida and I forget the area, but it is along the coast. He is so excited and he will be a GREAT great Missionary. Though I will miss him like MaD! My other cute little brother Matt just turned 16, how does this happen?! I love my family so much, they are terrific " )
