An Average, Random Day....

Here is how my day started....

"Good Morning, Mr. S. It is time to rise and shine. It is a beautiful day."-me

"Talk to the booty, because the hand is off duty"-Mr S.

SIGH!!!!!

Checklist for School Picture Day...according to Mr. S.
  1. Hair slicked down and sprayed. (check)
  2. Teeth shiny clean. (check)
  3. New shirt (check)
  4. Cologne, so the girls will think I smell Gooooooood! (check)
  5. St. Louis Cardinal shirt in backpack, so I can change as soon as they take my picture. Don't even think I am wearing this all day! (check)

Sigh! Always entertaining with Mr. S around....

He does look pretty cute!

Pretty cute and ornery.

So excited about Silver Bella this year...I know it is months away but here is a look back at years past. This is my 4Th Bella and I feel as exuberant about it as I did my first trip. Maybe even more, because I know how magical it is. Teresa is like the Fairy Godmother in Cinderella.

Year 1....
Suzy Q and I got match PJ bottoms with chandeliers on them.
We sprayed them with glitter to make them really bling.

Year 2
The theme was a Junk Gypsy Wear....notice the hat.
Why am I the only one in a hat? It was Ali's first trip and definitely not her last.

Year 3
Sally Jean, Sally Jean, Sally Jean the soldering queen!

Day 2

    I am missing classes with the great Rebecca Sowers, Anna Corba, Charlotte Lyons, and Teresa aka Miss Foof. I need more time and more options...Sigh!


    Another Random thought for today...

    Here are a few things on my nightstand.

    I have been reading the Shopaholic series. This is #4 in the series. #4 must be lucky for me today! Sophie Kinsella is an English author who's sense of humor causes me to laugh out loud. She also is the cause of getting less sleep, because I am up all night reading about the chaos in Becky Bloomwood's life.

    Where you can find Sophie:

    Another good read is this book. Lena is a master painter and printer. The book is full of beautiful photographs, ideas, and the patterns are included in a handy dandy pocket on the last page in the book. Brilliant!

    Lena Corwin's blog: http://blog.lenacorwin.com/


    This thrift store find was covered in contact paper images. Then painted over with yellow paint. Peeled the contact paper images off leaving their silhouettes. Darling!



    Well, that is probably all the random-ness one can handle today....


    Tomorrow, I will be more focused. (lol)

    In fact- I have exciting news,

    fabulous news,

    happy news,

    can't wait to share news.



    No, it isn't baby news....with all the attitude from Mr. S. The baby factory is closed forever!

    and that is a long time!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey Kara, I love Mr. S! How adorable is he and enjoyed reading your post! I sure wish I could do a weekend event like this! I am still trying to get my hubby to "get it" so I can go without feeling a little guilty, lol. These things are pricey but I know they are so worth it! I will have to keep an eye on this event! thanks for the 411! hugs from Conroe, TX p.s. At least you have Mr. S to keep you company while hubby is away. I have my craft room and the wii, LOL
