GOING ON VACATION!

So, I know it's been a very slow start to the year here at 3 monkeys inc blog.... I've been busy starting new business ventures, trying to get the kiddy-kats settled back into school routine, hockey-hockey-hockey, getting ready for a much needed family vacation....

I'm going to say good-bye for a little while.... this isn't the end of 3 monkeys inc - not even close.... it's just a much needed rest to rejuvenate - revitalize - and quite frankly, think of some new things to talk about....

I'll be back at this blogging game once holidays are over (at the end of February).... I'm POSITIVE I'll have so much to talk about that you'll be sick of listening to me ;P

Thanks for understanding dear friends....
Adieu - for now  ;)

RANDOMNESS: life

We never really know where life will take us.  We can plan and plan all we want; but, there are things we just cannot control.

Think of yourself as a writer.... you get to tell the story.... don't let the unknown hinder you.... mold it, shape it, write it.  Give every bump in the road their own chapter in the book of you....

My advice:  Take every day as it comes.  Bask in every ray of goodness.  Jump the hurdles as they arise.  Learn from them and carry on.  In the moment it may be difficult to look ahead; but, don't let that stop you.... YOU are the author...

HOW-TO-TUESDAY: sweater makeover

I've had this sweater for a few years.... it's soft and cottony and I love it.... but.... I never wear it.  One of those items you hang onto in hopes of one day wearing again.... But, honestly, do those days ever come?  Usually not for me....

So, I took this as a sign.... A makeover kinda sign!

Here's what went down:

I took this 100% cotton American Eagle sweater that I bought for the low-low price of $9.99 (I know!)....

And started by doing this....

 Then this....

Then this....

And this....

And this too....

And voila!  A new cardi from a sweater that I loved....

Yay!
