labor day sale
Posted on August 29, 2008
It seems everyone is having a Labor Day Sale and I’m no different.
No, it’s not a discount on photos or design work. Sorry.
I have three children for sale. And they’re cheap. Like FREE cheap.
They are a little used, but not too much, and the tiniest one is still pretty new. Watch out though, he has a leaking problem. They all do actually. But aside from that they’re practically perfect. Well, except when they’re screaming, but don’t worry, they don’t do that often. I swear. And they are always well behaved. Always. Except when they are fighting with each other or talking back or doing things you specifically told them not to do. But other than that they’re great. And man, do they sleep like champs! I mean, most of the time they do. And really, when the little one is up all night eating it’s not that bad. Or when the middle one is up for two hours just screaming in the middle of the night it’s easy to get up when the oldest calls your name at 5am. On the dot. Every morning. Trust me, piece of cake. And who needs sleep anyway? At least they’re cute. Damn they’re cute. Even when the oldest one looks at you and says, "I don’t like your shirt." Or when the middle one unrolls every spare roll of toilet paper in your bathroom while you’re in the shower. So cute. And that little one, he just has to smile once and he’s got you. Even when he screams if you even consider laying him down. Adorable.
So yeah. Big sale here at the Allen house. Just stop by anytime, the merchandise will be in the front yard in the cardboard box marked "free"… so just pick the one you want! They need a good home.
And I need a nap.

window shopping
Posted on August 28, 2008
When money gets tight around here I always start window shopping internet style. I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, I guess it’s fun to find cool things I would buy IF I had money when I don’t. Although we never have money for the things I find, which maybe makes it even more fun. Or depressing, depending on how you look at it.
Today I got a bunch of stuff done so my reward was 30 minutes tonight blog hopping and website bouncing. I found these and am in LOVE:
I’ve seen the frog one like this but love the ladybug! A great way to clean up bath toys! Go HERE if you want to add one to your wish list too!
And is that not the cutest sippy cup you’ve ever seen? I mean seriously. I think a few of these might encroach on my hand-made Christmas and end up under the tree for the kids! Go HERE.
I’ve wanted one of these for a while and at $180 it might be what C and I get each other for Christmas this year. It’s a tiny little camcorder! Love it. Donna Downey uses one and loves it also. Go HERE.
So that was my little bit of window shopping for today. You should see my "dreams" folder in my bookmarks… it’s filled with great products like these! Maybe as it gets closer to Christmas I’ll start sharing more of them to give you guys good shopping ideas too!
And to share a bit of what I worked on today…
An ad for my parent’s company that will go in the Episcopal City Mission’s Moment in Time dinner auction booklet… my parents are big supporters of this ministry…HERE.
I also got a birth announcement done but won’t post it here until I have permission b/c some people that read this blog will be receiving it and I’m not sure they want me to share it yet.
Birdsong family… almost done with your edits! Hopefully can show you the finals tomorrow!
And working on a logo redesign for my neighbor… yes I said no more design work but I’m a sucker for more work and am awful at saying no! Here is my first draft…
So far she likes it so we’ll see if this turns into the final! I didn’t really change too much, just updated the look a bit.
*Thanks Jess for allowing me to get so much done today! You are the best friend a girl could have!
Anyway, all are asleep here and it’s just before 10pm, which means I have a few hours of uninterrupted work if everyone stays asleep for me! Back to work I go…
