One Wasnt Enough

I saw a sign on the way home from work and couldnt resist, so I stopped!  Poor little things!  
 So now Puff has a sister!!!!  :)  Powder is what I'm calling her for now, any thoughts?! 
She's already made herself comfy, hopefully Puff, (and the rents), will adjust soon! :)


APRIL FOOLS!  

Puff would claw my eyes out with her declawed paw if this were 'fur real'!

Boyne for the weekend

I was in Boyne over the weekend - it was absolutely beautiful! It was bright and clear like this the whole weekend -


I had a great time doing a lot of sleeping, game playing, and chick flick watching! It felt like a real vacation! :)  Also - I highly suggest getting AAA, I locked my keys in the car, what a hassle!

And the best part of my weekend?  Being exposed to Antoine Dodson!  I cant believe how 6 months behind I am but check it out!

Making the Band

Six Rocks for sure!  I made these for a friend at work, her son Cade is turning 6 today.  Although, I think the cookies might be more for Amy than Cade! :)  They were a little bit of an experiment since I didnt have a cutter, but here they are -

 Naked Guitars -
 A little icing -

Bedazzle with Blue!

 The Napkin that inspired it all!

I think my favorite -

So fun to make! Rock Out!

Mail from the Capitol

Today I got a letter and it was great!  It was like a 3 leaf clover in a way because it had three parts to it.  My niece sent me a school paper she did that detailed St Patrick and why we celebrate him - thanks Grace!  And Andrea, my SIL, put a news article and a coupon to one of my favorite eateries!  Yumo! 


Great Thursday and great weekend coming up - going to Boyne!
