Where I’ve been

So my internet has been acting up for a few weeks now, and late last week it decided to just give up the ghost.  Not sure what’s going on, but man you don’t realize how much you use the internet until it’s not there.  I’ve had these wierd bugs on my squash and no way to look them up.  Criminal I tell you.  So what have I been doing instead?  How about some pictures?

pulling up carpetWe recently discovered that underneath the nasty cream carpet in our house, are these gorgeous hardwoods.  Initially I was afraid they’d be majorly damaged or something but once it was all done (except a few places under heavy furniture…need the husband’s help for that!), they’re in fabulous condition! Once we get it DONE, I’ll do a whole post about it.

wyatt floorsSee, we even put the toddlers to work.  Gotta earn your lunch around here! LOL!

Egg nestWe found a spot where the chickens have been hiding their eggs and found this.  Haven’t found any there since.  We know they’re somewhere…just don’t know where.

run runLots of this. Always lots of this.

1st french braidRee had her first french braid.  I’m not great at it yet, been out of practice for years!  She liked it though, and that’s what matters.

custom initial pj setA custom flannel pj set for a customer.  This was the last I had of this space themed flannel and I’m kind of sad.  It’s so wonderful for older boys who are past the “puppy dogs” stage.

froglet foolMaking a ton of Froglets!  Some of these are for orders, and some are stock building for a big show next month.  I think they look so pretty all lined up like this!

Jacob first trophyLast but not least, last night Jacob had his awards ceremony for baseball.  This was his first year playing an organized team sport, and I’m so proud of him!  He improved ALOT, and won an award for “Most Determined Player”.  I have to agree with that one!

So, what have YOU been up to this week?  Anything exciting?

Winners of my UBP10 “Name My Product” Contest!


Yes you read that, I said winners! After much deliberation, and poring over the more than 50 suggestions (ya’ll are some clever girls!), I finally made a decision!  It was really tough, I ended up narrowing it down to a few different ones, then asking family and friends for their opinions, finally settling on…..are you ready?  You are? OK, I’ll get on with it then.

Introducing the Froglet Snap-N-Go Keychain Wallet!  This is a combination of 2 different suggestions (from 4 different people!), but I really love it.  I’m a big fan of the cute Froggy names (like the Froggy Fix-It) but I want them to be descriptive as well so people can actually find them when they search.  I think this is the best of both worlds!

So what’s up with the winners you say?  I decided since the name was a combination of suggestions made by 4 different people, they will EACH get their own Froglet Snap-N-Go! Without further ado..the winners are:

1) The Lovely Rita Ann who said: “Snap ‘n Go Card Carrier … love them!! That is perfect. There are times when purses are just too much. Thanks for the opportunity. Hope I’m not too late!”

2) Karen at Venezie Designs (mmmm fabric) who said: “These are really cute – a perfect idea! How about Froglets – lol”

3) Sharon (Hello dear friend!) who said: “Hmmm, oh my, now I need to scroll back up and take another looksy after reading all these awesome suggestions! OK I’m back and am just so awestruck by your talent and still kinda drooling on my keyboard over that example with the H on it (my last name begins with an H!). Here goes…

… not snappy enough, how bout Snap-n-Go? and noooooo I could NEVER imagine you dropping all your stuff whilst holding your babies and carting all that fabric around!”

and finally, 4) Katie from Katie’s Nesting Spot who said :”oh, Oh, OH!!! These are such a good idea! I love that they are even personalized. How fabulous, I so need one. But I am terrible with names so I’ll have to wait until they hit the store, or keep my fingers crossed that my number is picked and your GC is still available. The only thing I can think is snap and go. Predictable and lame huh? Told you I am bad with this kind of thing.”

Congratulations winners and thank you so much everyone for letting me pick your creative brains!  I think I’ll do this again next time!  If you are one of my winners, please email me at froggygirldesigns@gmail.com with your mailing address and initial choice for your Froglet.  If you have a specific one in mind, please let me know and I will do my best to accomodate you!

For those of you who didn’t win, I will be loading these in the shop over the next few days so you can get your own!  Or just shoot me an email at the address above to order!
