Chatty Carter!

I had the phone conversation of my life time last night.
I called Julie’s phone to talk to Carter for his birthday, they didn’t answer so I left a voicemail, and an hour or so later Carter called me back!
He didn’t let me get a word in edgewise and I liked it that way! He was telling me all about Indiana Jones, Beetle Bailey and his birthday presents! He even went a little more into detail about what a droid was for me (the things from Star Wars ; not the phone). He chatted, and chatted, and chatted. He definitely didn’t inherit those conversation genes from his Daddy!
So, yesterday I posted that I had lost him to Eric… but maybe he’s not so far gone after all, maybe there’s still a little auntie admiration in there somewhere!
It was such a great phone call that left me smiling all night long!
Thanks Carter! Hope you had a great birthday buddy!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
