We had a great Thanksgiving break celebrating with Chris’ family: 1 grandpa, 1 grandma, 4 aunts, 4 uncles, 5 granddaughters, 7 grandsons…..onto some pictures…. (and just to clarify: Biggest Brother is 5 1/2, Big Brother is 3 1/2, Littlest Brother is 1 1/2, Baby Sister is 4 1/2 months) Big Brother thinks that whenever the...
man, i was sitting there thinking how nice your hubby is….all to find out it was just a dream, too funny
You’re family is adorable. I want to tell all my friends about your bloggy blog but I can’t until after Christmas or they will see all the crafty gifts I’m going to make for them. Don’t worry. I’ll send them swarming in 3 weeks 
So glad I found your blog today!

love your photograph =) it’s very nice
This is what happens when your dad’s inbox is too full and your brother (who is only 15 months older) wants to help dress you… Just curious…for those of you who Google Reader stopped working on your blogs…did it eventually just start working again?

Too cute… and no it hasnt started working yet for me!
Mine still isn’t working, Ashley. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!
My Google reader isn’t working either, but I’m just so relieved to find out you’re still posting- I have lots to catch up on!
nope, no google reader yet.
So sweet! We also have a little “helper” at our house who likes to “help” with his younger brother. This picture captures that perfectly.
No, it’s still not working
Mine is not working either!
This is so sweet. Our munchkin is due in few days, and somehow, I see this in our future. Comfortable husband, baby, pile of laundry. And nobody seemingly bothered by the pile up
Love your blog, just found it this weekend. Your photography is amazing! (As I’m sure you know.) I’ve used your ISO tutorial this weekend to counteract my crappy point and shoot, and it’s definitely done the trick. Thanks!
My google reader still isn’t importing. Love how your son “helped” dress your baby girl.
Oh, that was supposed to be a sad face and not a happy face that I put after working! oops!
I just love your blog and your family.
And I miss that your blog has stopped showing up in my Reader!
Still not working for me, either. 
I just realized today that my Google Reader had stopped! I had wondered why you hadn’t updated for awhile but I hadn’t looked at your blog because I knew you were in my reader. Then, when I was looking at Daily DIY today I saw your tutorial for the canvas bag. Then realized I’ve been missing a lot of posts!! I’ve got some catching up to do
A month or so ago I went with my sister to see So You Think You Can Dance? It was a great show…my sister shaked her booty the whole time, but mine can’t find a beat if someone tried shaking it for me! Lesley was excited each time a new dancer came on stage and...

Neat idea!!! Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Ashley-
Thank you for the email. I added you to Bloglines- so it’s a OK there. Still getting your feeds. I’ve had that happen with 30days a few times and it’s so frustrating. Not sure why it happens.
And my turn to thank you- that little leaf headband was mine. Thanks for posting it here. Still in the competition and loving it!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Fun…love a contest!! Great crafts but leaning towards the skirt myself-so cute!
Ashley – Just saw your doilie bag on design*sponge – CONGRATS! And I love that skirt too. I hope it can be made in grown-up girl sizes. Happy Thanksgiving!
Just saw your tote on Design Sponge too! Congrats. Thanks for the link can’t wait to vote!
I was looking for the crafts from the womans gathering and I cant find them.. Is there a way you could direct me.
Ha! You crack me up So you think you can craft, craft, craft…I’m singing that to the beat of the intro song! Happy pre-turkey day!
Yes, I agree. I voted for the cute skirt too!
I’ve been loving so you think you’re crafty. I think it’s a terrific idea, and I do love that skirt too. Want to make one for me and my little girl.

First, let me say Happy Birthday to my mom…one Nana that can take on her grandsons in the leaves… This has been the norm in my house for many years…(just fyi wrestling is more fun if you pull your shirt over your head too) And now we have this cute little thing in the house…I...

I have the exact same problem with my 3 month old baby. He has such a wonderful smile, but I have yet to capture it on film! As soon as I put the camera up to my face, away goes the smile.
Just a quick note to my faithful blog readers…we wrapped up the Christmas Gathering tonight and now the blog is slammed with tutorials below. Chris took a couple shots of the night and me presenting. The tutorials begin after this post. It was this full both nights… From what I hear Denise and I made...

You did a great job last night. I loved all the ideas, and you and Denise were too cute.
i laughed sooo hard all night, that denise is one FuNNy lady! You did an amazing job, i was taking notes as fast as i could write!
Hey Lovely Lady,
I just wanted to say that you inspire me greatly!!!! And if I had a blog award it would definitely go to you!!! Your ideas and photos are incredible!
Way to go girl! I could have listened to your ideas all night long! Plus you looked super hot and young! 
Thank you again Ashley for the tickets. Rebekah and I had a great time and were very inspired by all your DIY projects. The spray adhesive has already been out today, and a big jar of ModPodge is on the shopping list. We are determined to have some homemade goodies under the tree this year. Thanks for the inspiration!
Your blog is so amazing!! Your craft ideas are awesome!!!
Beautiful photography. I am quite envious of you.
How fun would it have been to be there! Thanks so much for posting all the tutorials, i seriously cannot wait to start some of them!
OK so I went to Ikea (the joy of living in So Cal) and got some supplies from JoAnn’s (no Hobby Lobby, the sad part of lving in So Cal) and I am going to see what I can create.
Looks like you did a great job! I wish I could have come!
I loved all your ideas! I was so happy to see you at the Gathering this year! I started following you two years ago after the Gathering in 2007. You are such a cool girl! I can’t wait to try some of your ideas!
