What isn't on my New Year's Resolution list
BLOGGING!!!! Obviously...simply haven't felt like it lately. And now that the month is half-over, I have missed posting a lot of great things.
The kids and I enjoyed a great Mexican cruise from the 5th thru the 10th. They said it was the best vacation they have ever been on. I enjoyed myself too even though I was for the only single mother on that boat. Kinda awkward in the beginning but I soon found nice people so I could actually talk to other adults. I think it is kinda brave to go on a cruise by yourself and I had a better time than expected. So much so that I am contemplating another one in August-- this time with Keith and the kids at camp!

The kids took a lot more pics than I did so soon I will download their stuff. I am sure it will be better than my batch.
Right before I left, I got a birthday package together for my friend Dena. We (Ali and I)put together bucket Oprah style. It was full of our favorite things. I think I mentioned this before but it turned out super cute and we were so proud of it. So proud that we took our picture with it and unfortunately you can hardly see our gift. It did apply vinyl on the bucket and everything--
Buckets and baskets seem like my answer for every gift in the last few years. There is nothing more cute then picking a theme and filling one with goodies.
Remember this one? The pink and green theme is all it was and it was sent to a friend who needed a little cheer. I love it and I love doing it.
So now that I am back and my vacations are over AND MY HUSBAND is at LEAST IN THE US- I need to get back to work. December was my worst month as far as Swanky Graffiti goes and typically it is one of my highest months. It really was a sad, sad month in more ways than one. I have been working on creating new things but I am still in a little slump. Praying it all comes together soon!
I did create this little number the other day and decided to put it up on Bridger's wall though it many seem a little juvenile for a 12 year old. I at least put it behind his door.
Off to work now!
