Welcome

I am proud of my family. I love Jesus. I am not perfect. I like junk food, particularly potato chips. I work out with my sexy rock star husband. I hate it. I do it for the company. My children make my heart beat. I was once a full time photographer. I retired to loose my sanity by becoming a stay-at-home Mom. I recently came out of retirement to avoid the looney-bin. Please enjoy the funny stories of my family, the hilarity of me trying to work out & find my skinny and the every-now-and-then crafts that I begin but rarely finish.
God Save The Queen.....

Happy LOVE Day...

I'm not one to let a "LOVE" day go unnoticed. Next to Christmas, Valentine's Day is the most special holiday of the year. Chris always makes it a point to make it special for us. I've had some pretty memorable Valentine's these past few years of my life: Chris proposed to me in 2002, I got a new car in 2004 and this year, I'm in L.A. with my best friend, my husband, my provider, the father of my 3 beautiful babies.....Man, I've got a pretty dang good life.

So when I realized we would be away from our kids for Valentine's Day, I got moving on creating some "LOVE" cards with the kids for their Daddy. Alexander jumped right in. That boy loves craft time at home. He was so precious sharing his best stickers for Dad's card. We broke out all the stops with stamps and glue. However, it was a little harder to get him on board with the color pink because, "you know, Mom....'pinks' is a girl's color." Then it dawned on my type A personality that this was HIS CARD....HIS DADDY...HIS LOVE...HIS IDEAS....So what color did he choose?....
Yep, Green...His new favorite color is green. I think it's a great favorite color for a boy. However,the green obsession is due to his love of the Hulk. Note: He even used GREEN marker. Gotta look hard on the inside, "Love, Alexander."
I had a tad bit harder time with the girls. For the life of me, I can't imagine why they didn't like it when I held their hand down, stretched out their "thumb," stamped it with black ink, pressed it to the paper, stretched out their "thumb" again to wipe it off really thorough so as to not poison them with said black ink. And because I did Sophie 1st, Izzy watched the whole ordeal and was even more hysterical than Sophie....But I must say, even though this card theme was not mine originally, The Fattie Patties and I owned this one!!! Let us know what you think:

I hope that you have a wonderful day full of LOVE. I wish everyday for you full of LOVE. Not just one day of the year. Treat those you LOVE the very best that they deserve EVERY DAY of the year. Those days count, too.
