Hand Made nail polish rack

Hey all!

Hubby finally finished the first of a bunch of nail polish racks. These were hand made by him and measure about 24in x 24in. Finished in black textured paint, that gives a slight glittery effect.

Please stop by our Etsy shop and Facebook page (links below) to see what other items we have to offer. New items are being added all the time. If you like something you see, feel free to message us for custom orders as well.

Remember, this is to help raise money so our 3 daughter can go back to their dance classes they love so much. Thank you for your support!!!

Exciting Sunday for the girls

Hey all!

So this past weekend was packed with fun new things the girls got to experience. All in ONE day.

My dad is a member of the Shriner's in NJ, and bought these tickets for the circus show they have been doing the last few years.  The last couple of years, I haven't really been interested, or the car was running crappy. Well this year, new car, i thought WHY NOT?  We can't give the girls a "summer vacation", so we want to try to let them experience new things this summer, on a smaller budget. And my father already had the tickets, so we went. He tagged along with us too,which was cool, because he got the see the girls genuine reactions, at their very first circus.

As soon as we got there, they insisted on going for an elephant ride. Well...Pop-Pop didn't say no, so........  


I was shocked none of them were afraid of it at all. Right up, no issues or hesitance.

Then it was time for the main event....which ran about 30 minutes late, so trying to avoid snacks until intermission, was a bust.

The Ooohhh's and Aaaahhh's that we heard, were so full of joy and excitement, I think a tear came to my eye. I just spent most of the time listening to their reactions. It was awesome!
And then, towards the end, we were able to check out the animals that were in the petting zoo area. I am in love with this shot of Madison feeding the baby giraffe. She could have stayed there all day.

Once we got done there, my mom was upset that she had to miss the fun too and wanted to do something special with them as well, so she made reservations for Bennihanna. Another first for the girls. Ava & Isabel had all of the staff hysterical with how honest and blunt they were about things. It was really an experience. (again)



All in all, it was a good day!!! And the girls had memorable experiences they will never forget!

Please help us help support our daughters LOVE of Dance!


Hey all!

I know, I know. I am bugging again about our Etsy shop and all but.......this is what I had to deal with this weekend....
This is Isabel, looking at the dance school's website, at the schedule for next year, to see what classes she would like to take and at what times they are available.

My kids are in love with their dance classes. And unfortunately, this December, we took a hit with our income, and we just can't afford classes next year. We have 3 daughters who all want to attend, and I will not leave any out.....and we can only really afford to send 1 out of 3 next year.



Below are pics of Madison's recitals from the last 3 years and Isabel's acro showcase from this year.



This is the ONLY extracurricular activity my children like doing. Without it, they are pretty much home all the time.  I really feel that their dance classes allow them to socialize and it helps them grow to learn teamwork.

THIS, those faces you see smiling ear to ear, are the reason we started 3ladyBugCrafts. It's ALL for the girls.

So, we ask  you in return, to please take a moment to visit our shop and/or Facebook page, and share it with your friends, family, fellow bloggers, or Etsy followers. It would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all!

Just wanted to pop in to share another of my easy recipes for you. I'm not trying to pretend I'm a chef here, but a girl who is slowly teaching her self to cook more then just items that can be boiled. I try to make easy meals that look like they took some real effort.

Ingredients:
*1 jar of Alfredo sauce
*1 package of frozen broccoli
*2 large chicken breasts
*1 box of pasta of your choice
*garlic pepper
*chopped dried onion
*cooking oil of your choice



Directions:
*Chop the chicken into pieces.
*place oil and seasonings all over the pan, and turn on heat to medium
*once heated place chicken in the pan and cook until almost white on the upper side.
 (Once the chicken looks like the pic in the middle, flip and continue to cook)



*While chicken is cooking, cook your broccoli, pasta, and warm the sauce.
*Once all is done cooking, mix it all together with the sauce and serve.
*Enjoy!!!

Eventufl weekend


Hey all!
I hope everyone had a great Father's Day weekend. Ours was busy as always. I don't know what it is about Father's Day weekend, its just is a run run run kind of weekend.

Friday night we had our last picture day at the dance school, for Isabel's acro photos. It was bittersweet, as we won't be able to return next year. But fingers are crossed that its just a one year break. The girls love it way too much. But financially we just can't support it anymore. (we have opened an Etsy shop to TRY to help support their dance classes, link is below)


Saturday, was recital day for Madison! She did great, as usual. We think tap is more her forte then hip hop, as she seemed flawless!

Once we got home from the recital, it was time to rush and get the Father's Day stuff done, while daddy was at work. We went out and got supplies, and picked up a funny t-shirt, and began the project when we got home. While paint was drying, he walked through the door early...ugh. So we had to keep him out of the kitchen for a while. Ha Ha  But the end result turned out pretty well.
I ordered the girls new NE Patriots T-shirts (his fave team), and them took them out for a photo shoot last weekend. I think he really liked it!

We spent the day at my parent's house with some of my sisters, celebrating the day with a good old fashioned BBQ of burgers and hot dogs. We even broke out a game of pictionary. The kids really got into it. But the twin insisted on doing theirs at the same time.
All in all, it wasn't a bad weekend despite the hustle bustle of being busy.
Until next year....
