Gracey Lou Designs Open For Business!!!



I have been working the past couple months to open a new etsy shop. And today I finally put it together. I am so excited. So for the Grand Opening I am offering 15% off everything in my shop. Except I have some bags that I will be listing tomorrow that are not 15% off, because they are already marked down tonz. So if you see something you would like, but its not the right colors or something let me know and I would love to do a custom order for you, and you still get the 15% off. The sale will be now through the end of January. But keep checking I have plans to add more things as I finish them.

New Years Resolution!!!

One of my New Years Resolutions is to be a better blogger. I often think sometimes why do I blog does anyone really read this thing or do people really even care. So please if you read this pathetic thing leave me a comment letting me know.( I would greatly appreciate it. Then I will have some motivation to keep up on it. I have been wanting to post somethings from the past holidays, but I got this new fancy camera that I have been "trying" to take pictures with and well I'm not very good and not confident enough to share them with anyone yet. But to make this post worth reading I will, but don't make fun of my not so good photography skills.

First with Thanksgiving. We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. AND I COOKED MY VERY FIRST TURKEY. If you know me I DON'T COOK. So I was a little nervous to be cooking for someone else besides my own little family. But I think I pulled it off. After cooking the turkey. I thought WOW that's it. Put it in and let it cook! OK sounds stupid but I was super excited that it turned out and even tasted good.!!!!


My Beautiful Kids!!


I had to take a picture it was so pretty!!

CHRISTMAS!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas. It was so fun to watch the kids. Izaak knew who Santa's was this year and was way excited. They both were so fun and they loved Christmas. They are still singing "Santa Clause is coming to town." the Jackson 5 version. So cute. On day I was driving to Idaho Falls, and we where listing to that song and they were both sing and I looked and in my rear view mirror and there faces were so bright and merry. I made be get a little teary eyed. Its was so precious!

On Christmas Eve we had a little family get together with Aaron's family. Which is always fun. Aaron's Mom made all her kids the most beautiful quilts. Home made gifts are always the best. And I forgot to take my camera. So no pictures.


They are so funny!!! That's totally them! Silly Kids!

Christmas morning... I was so excited for the kids that I woke everyone up at around 7:30. I went into Izaak's room and I could tell that he was awake, but he was laying there with the blanket over his face. I jerked the blanket down and scared him to death. Later that morning I asked him why he was hiding and he said he was scared of Santa. But they both were so fun to watch. Santa brought Izaak a Thomas the Train Set, and Ainzley got a kitchen and a shopping cart.

Christmas Day... We spent the day with my family. It is so fun to just hang out and eat and enjoy each others company. My mom gave me a new set of pots and pans. They were the Paula Dean ones. I absolutely love them. Maybe I will start trying to cook. JUST MAYBE!!!


Izaak opening presents from Jessie


Ainzley Loving her Babies Grandma Bowen Gave her!

Just for fun... I thought I would share the idea I found for neighbor gifts. I thought it was cute and super fast and easy.
