Spring Break 2013

We decided since we have the Pass of All Passes we'd go to South Bend and use a couple of the places there for Spring Break. 

First up: The Studebaker Museum

 And within the same building the History Museum.  We took a tour of Copshaholm Home too. LOVE!!

 Then on to the South Bend Chocolate Factory and Museum.  We took the tour and got samples.

 Then we went to Strikes-N-Spares and rode on the GoKarts as part of the Pass of All Passes.  We also did minigolf there with the pass.  It's indoor with flourscent lighting on glow paint. FUN!  Forgot to take pics in the minigolf...

 That night we stayed at a Super8 and they went swimming

 Next morning, Chippewa Bowl for a couple rounds with the Pass

 Then on to the Potawatami Zoo

 On our way out of South Bend we stopped at the Military Honor Park

 Back in Valpo we used the pass for lazer tag and minigolf at Zao Island

Dress and a hair cut

I had the Tinkerbell panel, bought on clearance, for some time.  I didn't know what I was going to do with it, but it was CHEAP when I got it.  Well, I finally decided today what to do with it, make a dress for my 8yo niece :)  She LOVES dresses and she LOVES princesses... sooo...

Sophie has been wearing her hair in a ponytail for a LONG time now.  Well, today she no longer needs a ponytail holder! LOL  She got about 8" or so cut off and she LOVES it.  I am always sad when she gets a bunch cut off but it is adorable on her!!  Now she'll have to learn how to use that flat iron I got her for Christmas! LOL  Otherwise her hair has a nice wave, which she hates.

New member of the family!!!

I share my birthday with a few friends

So, I made them stuff for their birthday :)  Last year I made one of them a bag.  So, this year I made her dishcloths and a scrubbie.  The other 2 got bags.  I asked them each their favorite color in a sneeky way (except the 1st one, I knew hers was red from last year's bag...) I posted a poll on FB asking what everyone's favorite color is! LOL!  Except it only worked for one.  The other I was chatting with and asked why she hadn't answered my poll.  She said she doesn't have a favorite color! So, I made her bag in pinks.  I hope she likes pink!  And, I wish my lighting inside my house let true colors photograph.  *sigh*  They look better in person!
