Vivi and I were having some fun time this afternoon and were working on her USA map puzzle. It's from the Target $1 spot so from New York to Maine it's all one piece... sorry New England your teeny tiny states don't warrant your own pieces! She likes to put in the "easy" states first like Hawaii, Alaska, Texas, and California.
So Vivi holds up Alaska and I ask her which state it is and she tells me "Ackafornia". Hmm I guess we need more work on our states!
Her fine motor skills are better since she's been on her ketogenic diet (just passed the one year mark) so it's a lot less frustrating for her to do puzzles.
It gave me a giggle....

A Year of Cards Stamping Day
Join me in West Allis, WI on Saturday June 6th for a day of stamping fun! Well make 12 cards (with stamped envelopes) plus a magazine file style holder. The cost is $25 and will include lunch, door prizes and a fun little goodie bag.
I have room for 50 people and there are still spots available (but they are filling up fast).
I'll be having a charity raffle to benefit the Colleen Giblin Foundation with funds restricted for the GLUT1 DS Family Support Conference. This will be the first national conference for GLUT1 families and will include talks but numerous GLUT1 researchers even the doctor who discovered GLUT1 in 1991. This will be a unique opportunity to learn more about GLUT1 from the experts (there are only a handful in the world) as well as share and learn from other families living with GLUT1.
HERE ARE THE DETAILS:
WHEN: Saturday June 6th, 2009 10am-4pm (Deadline to sign up May 1st 2009)
WHERE: Parkway Recreation Center
2930 S. Root River Parkway West Allis, WI 53227
WHAT: A "Year of Cards" Stamp Camp. Make cards for Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Sympathy/Get Well, Thank you, Anniversary, Birthday, and a Baby card. The cards will come with envelopes and we will also make a mini-magazine file card holder. All supplies are provided and are Stampin Up only! These will be quality cards and will definitely be a step above simple cards. All skill levels will find these projects enjoyable! Never stamped before… don’t worry I’ll teach you everything you need to know to create fabulous projects with paper.
WHY: All the fun of a shoebox without all the prep! Come and have fun and meet some other fun & crafty ladies. There will be TONS of door prizes with the grand prize of a BIG SHOT STARTER KIT (retail value $195.95!!). You don't have to order the starter kit you'll literally take it home with you that day!
HOW MUCH: $25 you'll get a lunch and yummy treats to give you stampin power. This fee is for the location, lunch and door prizes. A charity raffle will also take place but participation is optional. All funds from the raffle go directly to the Colleen Giblin Foundation for the GLUT1 Family Support Conference.
If you'd like to do swaps let me know what interests you and I'll get a sign up going. I LOVE swaps too! We’ll be doing a double layout 6”x6” scrapbook page swap but if there are others you’d like let me know!

Hello Blogasphere (how ever the heck you spell that)
Well I've finally gone and jumped on the blogging bandwagon ( I know I'm a bit behind the trend).
I'm hoping this blog can help me inform people about GLU1 DS (Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome) that affects my daughter, as well as only about 150 other people in the world. With such a rare genetic disorder you often feel alone so I'm hoping others will connect with me to share. I'll post more about GLUT1 later.
I also LOVE all things crafty. I am a brand new Stampin' Up! demonstrator but so far that is just a hobby. Once Vivi is in school full-time perhaps I'll be able to expand it into a full business. I sew & quilt (I'm mostly self taught so reading a pattern is still like reading Chinese to me), stamp & scrapbook. I have a little "business" at www.bellebebeboutique.com. I make super duper soft and lovey baby blankies as well as lots of other items.
Thanks for reading and I'll try to put interesting info on here or at least something not completely mundane and banal (your word of the day!).
