Happy 2012!

Today was fabulous, with my boys visiting and making my afternoon shine bright.  They looked so handsome coming straight from Church, and I loved hearing all the wonderful things that they learned today :o)  And ended with a wonderful visit, food and an ok Cowboy game watch 'party' with my parents!

Can't believe it is already 2012, and most importantly, I can't believe that within this year God is blessing my family with another precious baby boy.

Sometime in the next few months I will be a Mommie to three boys!

WOW!  That is so hard to imagine, but I am looking forward to all the fun that comes with raising three very active and outgoing boys.   CrAzY FuN!!!

Hope everyone had a safe celebration, and enjoy the first day of 2012 surrounded by those you love.   My day was filled with family, love, smile and laughter - Couldn't ask for anything more!

Many Blessings for a prosperous and fabulous 2012-

Until next time, Squeeze your MoNkEyS tight!

12.31.2011 New Year's Eve

Day 3

New Year's Eve, hospital style

The day started out with the normal... monitoring, which happens a minimum of twice aday.  It is always so reassuring to get to get this little one and know that he is ok, each morning and night.

Then I got a nice surprise, the egg crate for my bed was delivered - It truely is the SMALL things that make such a difference... especially when you entire day resides between 4 rather 'close' walls :o)

 But the afternoon turned magical.  My parents arrived with all kinds of goodies...  Including bedding and a rug for me to help the room feel more 'fun'.  All kinds of noise makers, party hats, goodies, decorations and treats so that I could celebrate NYE in 'style' when my boys came up.

Aren't the decorations fabulously fun!!

 

Then shortly after the afternoon came to an end, the most 3 handsome dates I could ask for arrived to help me ring in the New Year.

My NYE dates - BEST EVER

 The boys had such a great time, given the situation.  We played with the noise makers, colored, went to look at the fishes across the hall, and the piece de resistance... built and crashed things with duplo blocks. Here is a 'big' car that was built and then happily crashed into a wall breaking into tons of pieces :o)

After dinner, fun and play... even though it wasn't midnight we started to 'ring' in the new year...  We had such a good time, celebrating the NY.  - It was midnight somewhere ;)

NYE with my boys!

Happy NY from my family to yours

 Pop'd the 'bubbly' aka sparkling grape juice, which was a HUGE hit~

 Made some noise! With noise makers that were such a HUGE hit, and I gladly sent home with the boys so they could use them more - HA!

After all the celebrations were over, the babies were sleepy and I got to kiss and hold them tight one last time in 2011... Looking forward to the next time I could tuck them in, in 2012.

2011 was a beautiful year, full of many blessings, and I am looking forward to what is in store for 2012... with one blessing we will continue to patiently and annxiously await in this new year.

Until next time, squeeze your MoNkEyS tight,

Welcome 2011

Welcome 2011!!! 

May you be as wonderful and as prosperous as 2010.

Thank you to each and every one of you for your continued support throughout the peaks and valleys of 2010.  It was a very interesting and rewarding year!!  Even though, I was on temporary leave from Three Monkey's Unique, while I was on my 4 month hospital 'vacation', I was meet with great Welcome when I came back into the crafting world and for that I THANK YOU!!!

It was so rewarding after Welcoming my second handsome son, Greyson, into this world to be able to come back to crafting and have this as my retreat.  My boys are my passion, and I am blessed to be able to stay home with them, and each and everyone of you help make that possible by supporting me through my Etsy shop.

Starting August, I really started to market my embroidery work heavily on Etsy, and y'all have responded with smiles and applause!  I love to hear all the wonderful comments and love to get all the great messages and pictures from y'all about how happy you are with the items you have recieved from Three Monkey's Unique.

My hope for 2011, is to continue on this wonderful road of success and to continue to thrive and create beautiful pieces for each and every one of your precious babies and kiddos!  I am looking at venturing into a few new products, and new designs... so stay tuned!

2011 is going to be FABULOUS!!!

Thank you, Y'all are AWESOME!
