Fashionista...

If you know be but at all, you'll know I'm a jeans and a t-shirt gal.  I'm not one to get fancied up everyday.  I don't need to "put on my face before I can go out", I can look nice when I need to but really, I prefer to be casual. 

So when my 6yr. old comes to me asking if I can wear my jeans skirt and black sweater like her so we can be twins, I oblige.  Even in the middle of winter with snow on the ground.  I wore knee high socks like her and my tall snow boots.  Can you just picture it?  I thought it actually turned out pretty well with the snow boots but I'm sure black heel boots would've been more classy.

But remember?  I'm not really classy on a day to day basis.  In fact every Sunday before we go to church I'm amazed at the outfit I've pulled together.  I usually exclaim to Jim, "can you believe I did this?" :)  It's the truth.

Now that that's out of the way.

Ella Jane has a new talent.  Thanks to her new crafting beads; thank you grandma she is loving them.  She is up to about 11 or 12 of these beauties.  I want to say she calls them "things" but somehow that doesn't sound right.  Shoot I wish I remembered.  {sidenote: we have about 6 clear beaded icycles that we hang on the tree every year.  She mentioned that next year we could use her "things" because they are more colorful.}

Isnt' she fantastic?  I love her sense of creativity.
