BIG RED

Oh what a silly wonderful life I have indeed!

Presenting for the first time ever...

OUR AIRSTREAM!!!!!!!

Oh my isn't it a beauty?

The color turned out perfect.

Some say it is fire engine red, others Ferrari red

and yesterday my boss asked what was that giant red hamper thing?

oh we have gotten a few smirk looks

but mostly happy smiles, waves, and too many turkey necks to count

there is something very special about this bubbly piece of Aluminum on Wheels

and its not just its mod awesome aesthetic

no no it's so much more

it's a life style

It reminds us to slow down

take the road less traveled

and to reconnect

with each other

and with nature

&

The puppies love it too

who knows maybe one day I'll be heading down the road to visit you!?

ok so I have so many many pictures to share.

I just can't seem to narrow my selection down

I just LOVE this top picture. LOVE!

Well now for a lot a bit of silliness...

I'm truly and sadly not a beach person

but I just had to make the best of our Maiden Voyage to the Oregon Coast

So I brought along some friends for company

Oh dear!

Nose Dive!

I've grown a little too tall for my toys it seems

My turtles had such a lovely time at the beach

Although this poor guy almost gotten eaten

by a large mangy puppy dog

Oh I think these two are twins

It was quite a fun filled day for the turtles

we shall have to go again

or perhaps we shall let it be someone else's turn?

Happy 4th everyone!!!!

Well let me ramble...

Hello!

Oh goodness

what a week, what a silly busy week I've had

and by week I am counting my last seven days.

Oh wasn't the mad hatter tea party fun?

I'm afraid I was only able to visit a few parties

given we were out of town, I lost internet service all of Monday,

and I've been working late every-night for work

but oh my what lovely party guess you all were to my very own unbirthday!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

There are quite a few things I want to share with you today

but given I have to get ready for work

I will type as quickly as I can

and just see how much I can manage to say

before time quickly creeps up on me

SHOES!

As I sure you all love them as much as I

I thought I would share a few of my favorite pairs that I currently own.

Sadly I lost 3 of my favorite pairs to my Puppy a while back

oh there is simply nothing like the loss of your favorite shoe

none the less 3 pairs!!!

Plus in the last year I had to throw away 2 pairs of shoes

that I have had from high-school that were my very very very

most beloved shoes! CRY!

Also the last 5 months have been very interesting

for I have not owned a single pair of black shoes

I can't tell you how many times I have gotten all dressed up

only to realize I had no appropriate shoes!

Not that I have not been looking!

But I don't do open toe shoes at all and I live in my heels so they must be comfy

But yesterday I purchased

these cute Mary Jane double strapped heels from on-line Target

I fret a bit because there is not yet any reviews

but I LOVE my last pair I ordered from target

(the red pair above)

And I was quite desperate because I have a wedding to attend in two weeks

and the bride just changed her colors!!!

My dress was to be pink

so I just purchased this pair a few weeks ago

oh-well they have proven already to be a great asset to my wardrobe

Quite honestly my shoe collection is pretty small

My husband would argue this point

but I have only 4 or 5 more pairs more than what I show here

I have no sneakers... I tend to like white Keds

but they always fall apart and get too dirty for everyday wear

So I think I might try Kangaroo shoes or Saddle shoes in the future

both of which I wore as a little girl

The last to pairs I want to share are what I refer to as my Holly Hobb Shoes

The heels are from Ross and the Mary Janes from Marshalls

neither very practical I have found but cute none the less

On a new note

I don't often share what I'm reading or what movies or tv series I;m watching

but a very ironic thing happened the other day

Two of my library holds came in

and unknowing to me the plots were exactly the same

The first was Finding Neverland

as I am switching gears from Alice in Wonderland

to Peter Pan for my next art series

& the second, Dream Child

Both movies are about the origin of the beloved children's stories

Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland

However I was quite disturbed to find out that our beloved Lewis Carroll

may have had an even more twisted mind than just telling nonsensical stories.

While J.M. Barrie was inspired by children's playful imaginations

well I am indeed running out of time

I guess you should rent the movies to see the comparison yourself or

just read this and this.

Please do stop by Friday if you can

I'm going to be sharing pictures from the maiden voyage

of our new airstream!!!

Hope you are all having a lovely week!

Down the Wishing Well

Hello Gals!!!!

and lads too, if they happen to be joining in the fun

Well instead of being late

I'm early to this years Mad Hatter Tea Party.

It's a little awkward being the first to arrive

but with such mad company

I am sure to think it should be just as awkward to arrive fashionably late

Don't you?

I must say...

the route one must take to arrive at such a destination

is quite extraordinarily preposterous

I practically fell into a wishing well!

The company is MAD of coarse!

What more could you expect?

Such terrible manners too...

their mothers should be ashamed!

There is small chit chat

nothing more than the octave of a country mouse

And enough sweets and treats to fill one large cat

or to satisfy the appetite of a walrus perhaps?

I'm always so in awe of the Mad Hatter's fine taste

Each afternoon

exactly at noon

(or at-least that's what his watch always says)

He serves tea until a quarter to 3

and then he start all over again and

everyone move one seat to their left.

Oh what a splendid time I'm having

how about you?

Would you like another cup or two of tea?

No, you think you've had enough,

you've gone around the table twice

and sat in every chair thrice?

well I don't think your math quite matches up...

Perhaps you got too much pepper in your nose

when you visited that crazy old duchess?

oh, did you hear?

the duchess must go to court today

seems she did something to upset the Queen!

What?

You haven't met the queen?

oh, well you better be careful!

And hold your tongue

she seems to have a likeness to heads

and not in a pleasant kind of way

Oh my it is getting late...

I have enjoyed all of your company so much.

Make sure you say hello to Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dum

before you go,

they always amuse me so

LOL!!!!

Being silly is so much fun!

Thanks for stopping by

I hope you have just as many crazy and mad adventures as I!

Toodles...

P.S.

The artwork was created especially for today...

take a peak in my shop if you like

you will find these and many more

The 23rd of June

2 Years of marriage

seems like just yesterday I was a young girl dreaming about Mr Right

I am such a lucky lucky lucky girl

I not only married the most amazing man

but my very best friend

To my husband:

"I love you with all my heart
thoughts of you puts a smile on my face
and joy in my heart
I'm not a perfect wife but I Love you
and each day I try to share the best of who I am with you
I thank you for loving me
just the way I am
for believing in me
when I doubt my self
and for being there with me and for me
when I fail and when I succeed.

I pray we shall always remember our love, our friendship, and our vows
that we will be strong when life seems unfair
and open to new adventures when opportunity knocks at our door
may we always walk the same road
hand in hand!

I LOVE YOU!

These are my very first digital scrap-booking pages.

It's a really rewarding process to put these together

...a little bit time consuming but fun

I can't wait to finish my wedding album

I hope you all had a nice Monday

Mine has been very very long and it's time to try to get some sleep

despite the can of AMP energy drink slushing around in my belly

I was going to try to pull a long night and get a lot of much needed work done

BUT...

I just don't think that will happen'

the problem is

I really don't want to be

"late, oh so late for my very important date!"

YES Mad Hatter Tea Party is this weekend and I procrastinated!!!!!!

and we have family coming and I have late nights at work

oh my! Oh DEAR!

Well I will have to get it all done one way or another wont I?

Sugar Belly Prints are here!

My first set of prints are finally done...

YEAH!

What an amazing feeling.

This collection of prints is based on my favorite treats at the moment.

Perhaps a hot dog does not count

but literally I'm having them breakfast, lunch and dinner these days

Junk Food is a topic I plan on exploring more

but crazy as this may seem

I will be debuting another new collection next week!

hint: I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir, because I'm not myself you see.

hmmmm... what could I be up to now?

I've been going back and forth on pricing for weeks now

this is what I've decided to try out

.Basic Pricing structure for prints.

1st Print: $18 (price includes shipping worldwide)

fallowing prints $15 Each

Special Discounts on prints sold as a set of 3 or more

I'll try it out and see how that goes.

I've found that typically prints are sold in the $18 range

and that does not include shipping

ugggg. pricing is never fun! :(

Well it's late in the day and I have more coloring to do before next weeks reveal

The ittybittybirdy Print Shop is now open!

YEAH!

Have a lovely weekend!

P.S. The first sale in my Print shop will receive 1 free print of their choice!!!
