Spring Break Update

The unofficial start of my spring break, as you already heard, was mom not feeling well.  She did slowly start to feel better, though there were a couple of moments during the week that I did worry about her.  I still enjoyed a pretty sweet, and restful break!  I enjoyed sleeping in...so much!! :)  I also enjoyed staying up late!  I got in some good reading time, which I always enjoy!  I also got to have a wonderful lunch with my amazing blessing of a friend, Kasey!  We went to On the Border and had a blast, enjoying great food and fellowship!  It is always a blessing to get together with her!  I watched my Huskies get to the Final Four...although tonight, I just watched them lose to Notre Dame...ugh!!! :(  Now Notre Dame has to be on, well, they have been on, but are definitely now on my..."Ick, I can't/won't cheer for you to win" list!  Too bad for them, they won't have me cheering for them!  Ok, back to spring break, I also got to enjoy a fun craft project that I was so excited about.  Between Pinterest and other fun blogs, I got this great craft idea!!  Hold on....buckle up....because  I'm telling you this is so super cool and exciting!
Check these out!!

A cute blog Little Miss Glamour Goes to Kindergarten did a fun post about glitter shoes.  The idea for the flats came from We are Not Martha.  It was pretty easy to do!

Mod Podge with some black glitter.  I added a little bit of other colors, too, but wanted a darker color.

Mix the Mod Podge and glitter

This is what it looks like after the first layer of the mixture is placed on the shoes.

The top pictures are after four layers of the mixture have dried.  Then it suggests putting one more layer of the Mod Podge on at the end to keep the glitter from coming off.  We are Not Martha actually used a Clear    Glaze Spray after the final mixture layer.  Either way they turn out looking amazing, do they not???

But then......check these out!!

Little Miss Glamour also had glitter soles in her post, but I had already pinned that on Pinterest a while ago.  They use the same process!  The hardest part is just waiting for them to dry so you can see how they look, and now it's just the agonizing wait until I can wear them! :)  So spring break was the perfect time to try these out.  I'm so glad I did!!  Hope I didn't blow you away too badly! :)  I know, they are pretty great! 

The one, I guess you could say "glitch" came Thursday.  I planned on another quiet day, but mom had a Dr.'s appointment.  I made it because of those couple of times mom made me nervous during the week.  She seemed to start to feel pretty sick after eating breakfast and dinner a couple of days in a row.  So I needed to make one.  It wasn't until 3, so that was nice, but I just hoped that it wouldn't take too long.  Sometimes we end up waiting for a while.  I thought if we could get out of there at a somewhat decent time (before dinner) we would take a trip over to Middletown to a cupcake shop there.  My friend Keilani told me they have the best cupcakes...well, she had a bacon maple cupcake that she said was amazing!  I wanted to just go see what they had.  Well, the doctor wanted to make sure there wasn't anything serious going on and wanted mom to have tests right away.  So, although we got out of there by about 3:45, we just ended up going over to New Britain General Hospital's Emergency Room for those tests....and we didn't leave until after 10 that night.  Hmmm....I didn't think the NoRA Cupcake Company would still be open at that time, so...we just went home.  By the way, the tests all came back fine!  That was why I was able to take mom back home, thankfully!  She has been much better the past few days.  Oh well, at least I had Friday to enjoy more free time, and I did.  It's been a great break, and I must admit, I'm a bit hesitant to go back tomorrow...but it is a short week!  So.....I think I can handle it! :)

Lord, thank you for an enjoyable week!  Thank you for the time spent with mom and Bella!  Thank you for the time spent with my wonderful friend, Kasey!  Thanks for allowing me to try my fun craft!  Thank you that mom is OK, and there were no problems with the tests she had.  Thank you for some quiet time and rest...and help me, PLEASE help me to be ready for tomorrow! :)  Thanks!
