Long Day!!!

I got up this morning with all intentions of finishing up the house work. Well, needless to say, it didn't get done. My aunt and I went to every store that carries cake decorating items. However, we did not find what we were looking for. We still have the rental/party place to check. We are looking for the stands and items to make Wilton's Baby Go Round. My aunt is expecting her 2nd grandchild and we are we asked to make the cake and this is the one we both agreed on. This was the 1st time my aunt and I spent quality time together since my mom passed away. It was a great day.

Austin spent the day with grandpa and he enjoyed it. He has been in a good mood ever since he got home. No arguing or yelling. What a great treat for me.

I am in the process of getting 10 6" Granny Squares done for one of my groups. We are making them for a another member. She has problems with her hands and wanted to make her daughter an afghan for when she returns from active duty in the military. We are sending them to one of our other members and she is going to put them together. This on top of our regular monthly ministry.

So tomorrow I will pack up everything that needs to be mailed, address them, and put them in the van so on Monday I can ship them out. I have 4 packages going out. One with 2 lapghans, one with hats and booties, one with the Granny Squares, and one with a pick me up gift for a member of group that is having a hard time. The post office will just love me come Monday morning!!!! I am using a Flat Rate Box for the hats and botties that are going to the NICU at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics so it should cut down the price of all the shipping and the 2 lapghans and the granny squares are going to the same person so I will try and fit them together.
