Guest Day Thursday: Teri from Mama Thompson

2 sisters 2gether welcomes….

Hi...I'm Teri...(not this Teri:)...Mama Thompson Teri...and I am very excited to be guest posting here at 2sisters 2gether...I just love these girls and all the great stuff they do

(and not just because one of them is a Teri...although that can't hurt right?).

I'm a stay at home mama to one adorably cute and way too smart almost 3 year-old. I have been blogging for the past couple of years documenting the life of my cute Lil D (Life as a Thompson)...but decided back in September that I needed a place to document all the things that I love to do.

And thus began Mama Thompson.

I love trying new things...I love anything I can create with my own 2 hands...but what I LOVE most...is the satisfaction of seeing something and then making or doing it on my own. Whether it's a new recipe, a craft or decor for my home, a piece of jewelry or a total room makeover...I want to try it. Mama Thompson is the person that I strive to be...a better mom, wife, and homemaker...a "Mama" in every sense of the word.

If you feel the need to head on over to my neck of the woods (which I hear is just a few hours north of 1 of these sisters),

you will find...

"All the things I do in a day...well...when the (almost) 3 year-old let's me"

Jewelry

I also have an etsy shop, T's ETC

(I can make a shameless plug here right?:)

Furniture makeovers

Decor for Lil D

Decor for the home and holidays

What we eat (a variety of recipes)

and my favorite thing to do when I get the chance,

crafts

currently though...I'm doing lots of room makeovers...

(I am redoing 80% of my home from the basement up)

So that's me...just a mama...who likes to do well...

stuff!

Isn’t she great? We love to visit her blog (and it isn’t even because she has a great name). You need to be sure to read about the month she didn’t eat out AT ALL, her play makeup for little girls, and her darling version of the oh so popular ornament wreath. Thanks Teri for guesting here today (and shameless plugs are just fine here).

Mystery Monday: Craft Day Thursday

This was our first bi-annual craft day at my mother in laws. She is so wonderful and hosted me, my sister in laws and my friends for a day of fun and food. The best part was that last minute Teri got to come down. I was so happy to see her and we had so much fun. We spent time crafting and if we weren't crafting we were buying stuff for more crafts!! We made so many fun projects and gabbed and ate. It was a blast!! We learned a lot about what would make it easier for next time and I think everyone had as much fun as I did. We made 6 crafts in all. Here are some peeks.....more to come of our crafts. :) That's the Mystery part....what crafts did we make? lol

The prep work......(mostly by my mother in law)






Our friends......
















Our delicious food prepared by my wonderful mother in law (it was so yummy!!) (Sorry there's no picture of it when it had just been set out, but we were ravenous).




Us......(don't mine the all day craftathon after driving 6 1/2 hours hair :)) Micki is on the left and Teri on the right.
There was even dancing that happened, and we were gonna share, but we are not technologically smart enough to edit it, and it's too long to upload.

Guest Day Thursday: So Cute Bracelet!!!

Sorry it's not the greatest picture, but there will be more to come!! Tomorrow we are having a big craft day at my mother in laws. There will be 12 of us and we are doing 6 great projects. Here is a peek at one of them. My very talented mother in law made the lapwork beads (13 sets of them) by hand. They are so cute and detailed. I can't even imagine how much time it took her. And my very talented sister in law turned them into a bracelet. This is the sample of the one we will all be making tomorrow. I am so excited and there will be more in future posts about our craft festival tomorrow.

Edited to add, that there will be 13 of us, because at the last minute Teri is on her way down!!! Yeah!!! A really long day just to come craft and turn around and go home tomorrow, but worth it!
