Writing, Contests, Next Week

I have been writing a lot! I am telling you, I have been writing a ton. Soon, you will be able to follow links to our website, our other blogs, and helium and see tons and tons of writing.

So, hopefully it all starts paying off.

I did win a writing contest lately. I took third place and one ten dollars. While ten dollars isn't much, it is a start to a profitable writing career. I just hope that I can find a balance between writing and crafting. I have always wanted to be a writer, but I love the way that I feel as an artisan and crafter. I love creating new and beautiful things, and don't want that to end because of my writing. We also hope to make money off of that someday, but that will never happen if I never have time to work on it!

Next week, my best friend from high school is flying from Michigan to Texas. She is bringing her three month old daughter with her. I am excited, I haven't seen her in about a year and it is fantastic that I get to meet her baby. She hasn't seen our baby since he was six weeks old! It will however be odd to have a baby baby in the house again. And Marcus has always been a good night time sleeper, I doubt that this baby is. Marcus slept eight hours by time he was four weeks old....
