Wow! It's been a while. I've been pretty busy.........not getting stuff done. Someday I'll conquer this whole procrastination thing and there will be rejoicing by all. (Well, at least by those in my house and maybe a few others.)
Despite my lack of productivity, I have finished pulling together a costume for my son,which I am very excited about. He is going to be the cutest mini- Indiana Jones ever. I'm not biased or anything, nooooo not me. I wanted to make him an Elvis costume for this year, but I knew that was too ambitious for the time frame. So how did I go from Elvis to Indiana Jones? It all started with a fake leather jacket my husband bought for our son. I thought about how easy it would be to get just a few more items to pull off the look and how reusable most of the items would be.
Leather jacket - check
Khaki pants - check
Lighter khaki shirt - problem; easily solved by tea-dyeing a white shirt - check
Satchel & Whip - quick trip to the thrift store, a little crafting - check
Brown shoes - unexpected thrift store score, his size, only $2 - check
Hat - ordered and expecting tomorrow - half check
I can't wait to put him in his costume!

Who am I
So my first post was successful! Woohoo!
I think I should introduce myself a little.
Hi, my name is Rachel. I've lived my entire life in Ohio, if you don't count vacations. I am married to my favorite guy and we are raising one outrageously cute little boy. We have 2 beautiful dogs that we adopted from shelters and currently a few ants I just can't seem to get rid of. I am employed by two places. One I considered my real job, the other I consider fun I am paid for. I hope to have at least one more kid, but am not opposed to more than that. I also would like to lose 50lbs and finish school someday.
I love to read, but don't do it often because I don't like to stop and start. I like to read straight through. I love to do all kinds of crafty stuff, but lately when I've found time to craft it's been sewing. I want to do more camping and hiking, but I really hate bugs and know I would freak out if I ever found a tick on myself or son. I like to go on road trips and find new fun places to explore. I like to plan to decorate my house and hopefully someday will get around to executing parts or all of those plans.
I think that is a good sum up.
