Busiest Beaver Award

Let me first start by explaining this cleaver little title...
Dexter and I have watched the Office since college and still find it as funny as we did then.  We own the seasons and watch them often.  One of our favorite things about The Office is the made up award ceremony they have yearly where a "Dundy" is given away for things like, "whitest sneakers in the office" or "Hottest in the office".  This Christmas Dexter thought he was super funny and bought me a "Dundy" award.  The Dundy comes with a few plates that are interchangeable. One of the plates is suppose to say "Busiest Beaver Award" but instead was misprinted and instead stated, "Bushiest Beaver Award".  I am now proudly displaying my "Dundy" at my work office and the girls I work with think it's the funniest thing!  Anyway I think I need to award myself "Busiest Beaver Award" because I've been working hard!

I've been working hard to add new items to my Etsy site (http://www.etsy.com/shop/LuckyCloverCreations?ga_search_query=lucky+clover&ga_search_type=seller_usernames).  I love the crafting and creating part but hate how long it takes me to edit my pictures and put the items on the site.  I have made a few new sales and am hopeful that I will start selling more soon.  Usually I would have given up on the site after a few weeks of little sales but I am trying to be positive and optimistic that things will take time to develop.  It's a marathon not a sprint right??  Here are a few of my new items...
Check out my site for more!

I'd love to blog about all our recent doings but currently fell a bit overwhelmed so here are a few pics of the last few months!

Go Illini!  Aubrey at her first Illinois Basketball game in Chicago!

My little dancing cheerleader having a BLAST!


Loving her Auntie and Uncle!
Doesn't she look more like a big girl checking out the hotel room rather than my little bitty baby?  Ahhhh time is going too quickly!
Aubrey being hilarious in the shopping cart thing, she was dancing and waving the whole time...Dexter and I cracked up at her the entire time we were in Water Tower!

Waving to her "friends" in the dressing room three way mirror.  She is the best!
Being beautiful.

Having fun with family!

Aubrey got to have a play date with her little friend Mia. 
Mia and Aubrey have lots in common: Dads are longtime friends, exactly 1 month apart, both same middle name, their parents got engaged the same day, got married 2 weeks apart, and are both little cuties!
Fun time riding in Mia's new Christmas present.

Enjoying "Grandma Kathy" after trying to pluck each others Binks!

...on to the next of many projects, starting to finish our basement.  Walls are being moved, carpet will be changed, paint colors are picked out.  We have a little storage room and there is a little corner that will be finished for me, I want a little spot for all my crafting things.  The extra bedroom that I am currently using will someday (hopefully sooner than later) become Aubrey's Big Girl room and I will have no where to put my stuff.  Hopefully in the next month or so we can have the basement rooms we are renovating done.  Thank goodness I have a great family who knows how to build!  Wish us luck!
