Lauren is one who we are constantly chit chatting. She missed my bday in October, but still decided to send me out some goodies this last week. How sweet right?
She sent me some wonderful vintage readers and a cute as heck pug book with little pug pictures and their comicial sayings. Too adorable!! She sent this awesome Frida card along with it. I love it. Can you believe the very cool beadwork she did on that card!! Its amazing. I love it. Her blog has much cooler pics of it than I took. I need to take better photos. Sorry for the lameness. Thank you Lauren!!
Leo's 4th birthday party was this past weekend. It was a blast. We had it at Chuck E Cheese. It was a mad house. His birthday is actually at the end of November, but it always lands on Thanksgiving weekend. Most people are doing family stuff then so we put off his party by a few weeks. I made this party favor box with some craft sets for kids in them from Target's dollar area and a lolly pop taped on them. Cute, fun cheap party favors. I had them set up on the table at Chuck E Cheese so the kids could take one before they left.
Tomorrow is Breakfast w/ Santa at Leo's school and then later this week, Logan will be singing Christmas songs with a choir. Busy week. I'll be back though soon. I think I found the book I'm going to use for my art journal this coming up new year!
Thanks for stopping by!

wahey, it's there! ♥HAPPY BIRTHDAY♥!!!!!!!!!! i had sooooooo much fun making both the pug book AND the frida card... and i cannot express how cool it is to actually HAVE A FRIEND who not only "gets it" when i make something like that, but loves it as much as i do. i love what you wrote about online friendships, too, btw; sums it up PERFECTLY!!! happy b, missus, hope this is the BEST YEAR YET for you in every way! ♥♥♥♥♥
and happy birthday to young leo, as well!!! awesome treat bags and of course just having a party at CEC is simultaneously a kid's dearest wish and a mom's ultimate sacrifice! (bein' kidless, i've only gone there a couple of times--yearrrrrrrrs ago--when my godchildren were leo's age. i'm *STILL* having flashbacks!!!) :) :) :)
ps: that beading is the biggest cheater's trick in the world!!! grab some thin gauge wire... string your beads on... twist into whatever shape/design you like... tack onto card/artwork at strategic points with a little hot glue. DONE!!! :) :) :)
forgot to say the skull beads came from possibly the coolest art store IN THE WORLD--"zinnia" in south pasadena: http://zinnia4creativity.blogspot.com/ i'm not usually too much of a hoarder, but i was determined to *SAVE* those until i thought of exactly the right thing for exactly the right person. :)
