CONTEST!

Hopefully I will get lucky while I'm in Vegas........and so will you...

All you have to do is go to my Etsy shop and leave your favorite item number in the comments (it can be anything) and I will have my main squeeze pick a winner at random when I get back on July 4th! Good luck...

whooddy whooo...

 Amy and I are off to Las Vegas tonight for the annual Daddy-Daughter weekend and I CANT wait. This is one of my favorite times of the year. Nothing makes me happier than eating good food, laying out (not in that order preferably),THE BEST shopping and my Dad so it makes for the perfect trip! We have so much fun every year and if I can pull Amy away form the craps table for a few hours to go shopping with me I will be as happy as a toad. Last year she was so pregers she was going to bust any day and so it was just Daddy, and I and he dropped my A off at the Caesars and I shopped by myself for over 10 hours, I was pretty happy doing that but it will be so much better to have her with me! Wish us luck!

Nizzle shizzle...

I thought I needed a few new onesies for the shop...Here are a few of them. Just thought I would share. I think the good thing about these onesies is that they can be for boys and girls. Thats about it.

Welp...

I finally did it...Sewed the needle all the way through my finger...and in a moment of shock grabbed the string that was still threaded and yanked it out. Unfortunately I couldn't get a good photo of the exit wound. This hurt like a mutha and it doesn't look a tenth of how band it hurts. It was bound to happen some time. I cant tell you how many scars I have from my glue gun, like serious for the rest of my life scars. The needle not only went all the way through the finger but it split the nail all the way across.

Same thing different day...

Can you tell when nothing too exciting is going on in my life??? All I post is Etsy stuff. I made these little bloomies a few days ago and put them in my shop today, I think they turned out pretty cute! Thats all...

Sweet shop...

How cute is this banner that cute Heather at Rita's sweet shop made me??? She is one talented gal, and if you are in the market for custom tags, Etsy banners or she does the most darling blog design, this is the lady...you can click on her button on the right to see some of her work. Love this girl! Thanks Heather!

New...

Just thought I would let you know that I put a few new items in the Etsy shop...

there's shiz all over the place...

Don't judge me...

This table was spotless this morning...not so much anymore. I don't know what it is but when I make stuff I cant seem to do it in an organized fashion. Seriously, do other people make messes like this??? Probably not. And...poor boyfriend, I don't have a work space so I do it on the kitchen table, he LOVES that. 

And...

I must be trippin' (do you like how I said I was trippin' not tripping) to post a photo of my beat-A feet. Im just so obsessed with my new paint job...that I had to show them. These things "sparkle like JEWELS " (as Estee put it) Love them and my last ones (that were a lot more subtle, they were pink) stayed on for over 2 months. Im LOVING this yellow though...My cute sister-in law Lyndsey did them, I highly recommend her expertise.

What dreams are made of...

This fabric store was more amazing than anything I could have cooked up in my dreams...

Exhibit A: Look at the mullet someone has cut on this little boy mannequin, the combo of the mullet and the americana really made for a classy duo.

Exhibit B: You have got to see this one close up and that doesn't even do it justice, these dolls were FREAKY to say the least and they had greasy shiz EVERYWHERE hanging on the walls!

That being said I did purchase a few of these greasy items. 
Exhibit C: These 2 were there.
and just another photo of the front of the shop "mannequins", I didnt post a photo of there faces because it was TOO MUCH, you seriously would be freaked. This place was special.
and...Sisty and I in San Diego...looking like twins. 
Me and my Pookie, Auntie + Estee= LOVE 4 EVA

Cabbage...

While my family was enjoying crispy cream chicken burgers (yes these are for real) at the Del Mar fair, boyfriend and I were at the Orem carnival. The food was poo-poo (unlike the Del Mar fair that has row after row of deep fried delights) and there were like three rides...that my man wouldn't go on with me. He said he would only go on a ride that didn't involve spinning...ummm, I had to brake it to him...its a carnival not Disneyland, there are no roller coasters, just spinning death traps. He was rolling that I knew the name of them all by heart, like the gravitron, sizzler, zipper, tornado and yo-yo...Anyway, so I didn't get to go on any rides or get any cotton candy...where was all the cotton candy? I live for that shiz. But, it was fun being with my man making out under the fireworks...no, we didn't really make out...but we could have.  Isn't it funny the 2 of us taking photos of each other. Its funny when its just the 2 of you and your in one photo, he is in one photo and then you have the extended arm of both of us photo...dippy.

Mr D...

I love him SO much! Happy fathers day dad...I cant wait for daddy-daughter weekend this year. You really are and amazing dad! And...happy fathers day to Mark and Chris you are such wonderful dads too...take those little girls on daddy daughter weekends when they grow up, its one of my favorite times of  the year!

New shizzle...

Run, don't walk for this...

...And, y.m.o.m.n.g.a.s... (thats a new acronym for: you may or may not give a s#@*!) People really go nutty for acronyms now-a days...

...but I put some REAL cute new items in the old Etsy shop today...

So big...

How did MY Estee get SO big..? Yesterday she said to me, "Auntie, you Mommies sister, like me and Simonie." We are so in LOVE!!!

nothingness...

So, I dont really have anything to blog about....however I did take the funniest photos EVER (to me...and sister) at the craziest fabric store I have ever been to in my life ( I must say the gettoh joint had some hidden treasures, bomb-A 80's lace and millinery flowers). But...I dont have the connector cord thing so I will have to post them later. Im in San Diego, and the whole family is here. Very lovely. We drove here...poo-poo. I think Adam and I are going to get the Honda NGV... and when Im paying .63 cents down at the gas station, sockin' it to the man, Im going to be very happy...cant wait.  So, last night I woke up in the middle of the night with the itchy legs (does anyone else get that???) I have a chronic case...probably every other night. So bad, I have even woke up with scratches on my legs. Anyway, I had the itchy legs and so I went into the bathroom here at Auntie Lane's house to find some lotion to put on them...I woke up in the morning to the smell of self tanner and couldn't figure it out....until I saw my palms. Ummm, I had caked on self tanner at 4:00 am in the dark. You can imagine how my legs and hands look, not to mention I rubbed the excess after I had put it on my legs on my elbows. Perfect.

 Well, I guess thats it...other than if it is readily avalible to you, run dont walk down to the jack in the box to get the oreo shake, its something special. 

                                  It was weird...this is what I woke up looking like.

Babinski's Baby...

Hello there, Just wanted to let you know that Lou & Lee headbands are at Babinski's (they have had the onesies for a while now) in Salt Lake...1324 Foothill Dr. I took a huge selection in so if you are in the neighborhood go in and see them. Thanks!

Where in the hell...

 A few items of business...Look how cute my mom and grandpa are! I want that dress really bad, where is it?
Look at how much sister and I look like her girls...and how cute is my Uncle Mark? Looks like he might have had a rough night but still looking very handsome!
Did you know that sister was a pageant queen...now you do.

lovers...

I NEED my family to know just how much I love them and how special each one of them is to me...

Dad: You are the best man I know. Strong and loving. Never asking for anything, so un-worldly. You are such a special man and Im so thankful for your example. Always saying things to calm me.

Mom: Unconditional love. The sacrifices you make for your children and grandchildren awe me.

 You are my best friend and I can only dream to someday be 1/2 the mother you are.

Walker: You are such a loyal brother and have a heart of gold. Such a hard worker! 

Mark: The way you look at your daughter amazes me. The love you have, you are such a perfect father and would do anything for your babies...

Amy: Sisty I just love everything about you. You and your babies are the loves of my life. You are me and I am you.

Erin: You are such a beautiful mother and the most thoughtful person I know, always getting the perfect gift or saying the right things. You are so sweet to Mom and such a wonderful wife. Your strength is amazing. Im so proud that you are my sister-in-law.

Chris: Always there to lighten the mood. You are a great dad to those little babies...you know I love you!

Adam: See post below. 

Days like this ALL I can think about is my family and wonder how my spirit was blessed enough to be with them. Love them so much.

Sweetie pizzle....

Look at my boyfriend...isn't he darling. I just thought I would do a post about what a wonderful husband I have (other than the fact that he is trying to make me watch Mission impossible 2 with him right now...and I would literally rather have my fingers ripped off). For those of you who know Adam you already know that there isn't a mean bone in his body. He is as sweet as they come and such a hard worker. Im so proud of him and so thankful and blessed to have such a wonderful husband who takes care of me. Love this guy so much and hope that I can be the kind of wife that deserves him. 

Say whaaa...

I made these cupcakes with buttons on them because whenever Estee comes to my house she wants to play with my buttons, so sister and I picked out some of her favorites and put them on her cupcakes.
How cute is this birthday girl in the crow I made for her...I had to make her 2 because she wasn't very specific when she said she wanted a birthday crown!

Me and my little grouchy Simonie...shes a little doll. 
Does this look like a mother 2? I dont think so . You put on a great little bash sisty!

I cant believe that MY Estee is 3! I cant tell you how much this little girl means to me. The love I have for her is unlike any other I have ever felt. She is everything to me and I hope and pray that she can feel the overwhelming attachment I have to her, and that I can always be her best friend and someone she can be herself with. This little girl is so special, she breaks my heart with her sweetness. Your Auntie loves you Pookie!!!
