Day 34 - New Stamps

Today was another day at the Bead and Button Show. At the show they have a HUGE bead and tool sale. People from all over come and sell beads of all kinds. Yesterday at the sale, my mom bought me two design stamps, and I was given three free stamps by PJ Tools, which are really cool! Besides a set of pliers my mom gave me, I had no tools of my own. Now, I have my own stamps! I'm SO excited to use them!!! I also got a really cool wire weaving kit today, but that's a blog post for another day. :)

My mom bought me the two in the front, and the three stamps in the back are the free ones. I love them all! I'll be sure to post pictures of what I make with them! YAY!

Day 33 - Bead and Button

Yesterday, my mom, one of her friends, and I drove to Milwaukee for a HUGE bead show. It is, in fact, the largest in the nation. It is called, simply, Bead and Button Show. My mom is teaching three classes! THREE! These are her first classes she's ever taught to adults, and she's teaching at this huge show! YAY!

I came to help her with the classes. I'm just the young apprentice, but I get to come to this amazing event! This picture is of me and my mom before one of her classes today, and may I say that she did awesome? Yes, I think I will. Her students loved her, loved the class, and learned to love jewelry making more! I'm so proud! :) Check out her blog post about the Bead Show BEFORE we left for it, and stay tuned for her blog post AFTER we are finished! 

Day 21 - Mother's Day

Today is Mother's Day. Mother's Day is a super special day because on this day we get to honor our mothers for her dedication to her children. I love my mama. She's the best in the world in my opinion:) My mom sacrifices so much for my siblings and I. She teaches us school, she works full time, and she leads a VERY busy life.

Today, we gave her a kayak which is something she REALLY wanted. I'm happy that we could do something for the mom who I admire and adore. We, and by we I mean us kids, made her breakfast-in-bed like always, gave her cards, and let her open her presents. Although she didn't really open the kayak! This afternoon, my family took my mom out for a picnic and a hike. In this picture, you see my mother, sister, and brother attempting to stand on a stump one foot longer than the others! They all failed.
