Whoooo Wants a New Necklace!!!!

Here are the creations the girls have come up with so far. We are having fun putting all the colors together.

My fav is the one with the flower on the left. (Brandi this one is also for Addi) Addison's new necklace
Kyli's creation to match her Vintage Lucy Lemonade Stand tank



The neighbors came over and we played make-up and hair. They decided to model the necklaces. This is Miss Taylor

Another creation by Kyli modeled by Finley

Miss Rilyn

Miss Kenna modeling her latest creation





So we were making them for fun and to keep us busy. I have decided to sell for $15 plus $5 shipping if you are interested. The $ will go towards more beads and from each necklace sold I will put $5 in the girls piggy bank. They are great bday gifts. i am fixing to start on a Texas Tech and Burnet Bulldog necklace. I am leaving for a girls getaway until Sunday and then headed to San Antonio with the family until Wednesday. I am one busy girl. I just got hooked on Pinterest. Don't start because it takes to much of your time. he he!

Have a blessed weekend!

Must Have Before School

Today we went to a bead store and had lessons on how to bead a necklace. It was fun and we bought lots of fun beads. I decide to start making beads for the girls because they love fun necklaces and I refuse to pay $30 for one necklace. We have decided we are going to sell them to make money to buy more beads. It is fun! Pink/Purplicous
Taking orders from Sissy

While we were gone Raider got his 1st haircut. He looks so different.





Is it Bougey? Oh no, it's Raider!


Flower Power
I think this one is a must have for the first day of school! Love it!




Zebra Mix





What do you think of our work? I am making one to match the girls vintage lucy shirts. too cute!We have lots more to bead but I had to take a break. Kyli was driving me crazy!! I am selling the necklaces for $20 (includes shipping).
This little boy is so precious!

Poor thing is worn out!

Today was fun! Mom went with us to Georgetown and then we came home and played with beads. I just knew it was going to rain so we didn't go to the pool since it was cloudy. I am still praying for the rain we so desperately need. Please say a pray for rain too! We are so dry here in TX!

Kyli and Kenna's Etsy Shop

My daughters love to make things. They love paint, scrapbook paper and most of all beads! For a while now they have been making necklaces and bracelets with the small beads. I decide to buy them larger beads when I saw Addi's newest necklace. I showed the girls some ways to make a necklace and they took off................ Kenna's 1st necklace
Doesn't this look like something you get on etsy?

We use the elastic string so the girls can undo all the knots and restring a different necklace to go with a different outfit.

1st set of beads



Kyli is obsessed with zebra so I am always telling her that not all things go with zebra


Placing beads in the order they want them

Finished product. Do you see both necklaces have zebra?





Kenna made this one to match a dress she wore to church. I love the colors! We just cut off the extra stretchy string.


We need to get more beads. The girls are loving this. I am thinking about helping them string on wire and put a clasp on it. But, that could get really expensive cuz they like to make so many. Using the stretchy string is nice cuz I can get the knots out and restring using the different beads they want. Kyli and Kenna want to start and etsy shop to save money for an Ipad. They are crazy. If momma doesn't have and ipad, why in the world would they get one. Crazy girls!

The last three days we have been babysitting Slugger and Schweenie. Two puppies is a LOT of work! Aren't they so cute?

Schweenie napping!

Raider is getting his 1st hair cut tomorrow. I am so sad I have to leave him there. I think me and the girls will head to hobby lobby and get more beads. I am going to teach them how to string it on wire. Maybe they can try to sell them for $15. It won't get them an ipad but it would get them more beads to keep them busy! Summer is quickly fading. Boo Hoo! I am not ready for school!

Kenna lost her 1st tooth

Kenna lost her first tooth on Sunday, July 10th at Uncle Rocky and Aunt Tracy's house. I can't believe it. I have been so sad knowing she had a loose tooth and now it's out. The tooth fairy left her $4. KB was so excited. We went to Georgetown to visit my aunt and uncle and see their new grandbaby. He is adorable. We ate and swam. It was hot!

Such a big girl





We love our new baby, Captain Raider Davis
Raider is 10 weeks old and weighs 6.5 lbs
Just got a bath

I hate my Toshiba laptop. It is slow and freezes all the time. It takes forever to blog on my computer. It is only 1 1/2 year old. p of s! I love Chris' mac. I would much rather use his than use mine. Yesterday, we went to a water park in Round Rock. It was a lot of fun! Today, I am washing all the sheets, quilts and dirty clothes. We are just chillin. We will not get in the pool today. Too much sun the past couple of days. We are babysitting Brandi's two dogs. Whew, it is a lot of work when you have to take care of two puppies. Please continue to pray for rain. It is so dry and Texas. It is also extremely hot. It is very scary. Have a blessed and safe weekend!
