Hey friends! Hope you are having a good Wednesday! Tonight is a big night at the Madsen house. Little League is in full swing! This means a few things. At least 3 hours a night at the ball fields on Monday & Wednesdays. My stadium chair gets lots of use...good thing I have a nice & comfy one :) And the Crock Pot is used A LOT. Today I have Red Beans & Rice on the menu and the Crock Pot is already bubbling :) Baseball season is probably my favorite SEASON of the year....oh wait. Maybe football is ;) 

I have another tutorial for you from our CHA booth...this time the gorgeous beaded star fish that were on display by our fish display. I think these would be awesome as decorations at a "Under the Sea" dance or party...they are so pretty!!
