Gettin' Into the Groove

Good morning everyone.  I'm looking at my blog today and can honestly say that I am pleased with the progress I've made so far.  Learning alot of stuff!  I know there is so much more to this but I'm gettin' into the groove now!

A little bit more about myself.  I am a SAHM to our son, Cristian.  We adopted him from Guatemala and brought him home when he was 7 months old.  He has brought nothing but joy to our lives.  My husband and I decided that if it were financially feasible I would stay home and so far I've been lucky enough to be able to do so.  Don't get me wrong - we've had our fair share of struggles but hey, who doesn't, right?

We waited a long time to be parents and I was excited about not only being a Mom but also at the prospect of being active in his classroom when he became of school age.  There continues my love affair with crafts and such.  I've always enjoyed making things but when it's for your child - it's truly something special.

So I'm posting today one of the first things I made when Cristian was in Nursery School.  I can't remember where the idea came from - probably Family Fun magazine (http://familyfun.go.com/) which if you have kids is a great mag.  So here you go.


The kids were having a Halloween Party and because they needed a snack I decided to make spider cakes - aren't they cute?  Mini bundt pans, any flavor of cake mix you like, buttercream icing, licorice sticks, sprinkles and decorator gel.  They were super easy to make, too! 

Have a great day and we'll chat again soon.
