Just a layout for the day with a message to us ALL.
Used the most wonderful, earthy, juicy papers by the super-talented Emily Falconbridge that I bought a few weeks ago from Manto Fev. Love the different stuff I see there, always gives me great ideas!
FLY, girls!

It must be summer! OK, well, spring anyway. The girls ASKED to wash my car. I told them it was a lot easier to pay the $3 at the drive-thru carwash, but, having just spent too much $$$ at Old Navy and Target on swimsuits and capris and flip-flops and other "neccessities" as they call them, I decided that yes, a little work/restitution was in order. Plus, I knew the pics would be as cute as these. And, honestly, what's cuter than the neighboor 4 year old washing you car in a pink swimsuit and snowboots? (The other three monsters are all mine.)
Come on summer - we're waiting!

Announcement time!
A little while ago I was thrilled to have been asked by Prima Marketing to do some scrapbook product design for them. We started working together and what is coming from this collaboration is 4 complete lines featuring luscious, ornamental, distressed, floral cardstocks and rub-ons and die-cuts and alphas and ribbons and yes, flowers. Can I use any more adjectives? Yes, I could go on and on, as if they were my children, because that is how proud I am of them. They will be available a little later this year, I'll let you know when as soon as I know. So excited to see them in use by YOU, the talent out there, so wonderous and inspiring and happy to help bring a little more beauty to the world!

I just need to say that, in regards to being female, having a period every month is the suckiest thing on the planet. Men, in contrast, get to pee standing up. How convenient, how UNFAIR.
When I was younger, in was merely an inconvenience, mostly just "gross" because, as a teen in the 80's, "gross" was the WORD. But since having Indy, 7 yrs. ago, I get the BONUS of cramps each month. Not just mild achey ones, but in-league-with-the-devil cramps. Justifiable homocide ones. It makes me whiney, uncreative, pathetic, unable to work, and honestly, even move.
Does anyone else deal with these and HOW? What do you do for relief? I take as much OTC pain relief as I can, but for about 24-36 hours I am miserable and I can be quoted as saying "just shoot me" to my husband at least a dozen times.
Back to your regularly scheduled blogging...

OK. I've been hearing some really nasty things about my beloved crocs! I have to say, Yes, I agree they're "ugly". But you know what, lots of things are ugly and we love them anyway because they fill some need so profoundly that nothing as superficial as LOOKS matters. When I wear my crocs (I have THREE pairs and have been "croc" even before "croc" was cool), I can walk comfortably ALL DAY without aches, pains, fear of slipping, stinky feet (yes, the material they are made of is actually anti-microbial, so they don't stink), and I get way more positive comments then I do negative. This pair I ordered online, received at noon on Saturday and by 12:02 I had them painted. Now they're truly me. Ugly and all :)
