Geez, Louise...



Can I have three more days until July 1st? Please???
Here's a little peekie at the new July site, coming way too soon. I had the greatest time creating my little muse mannequin. I found her looking very sad and dusty on a clearance shelf at TJ Max. So, I whisked her to my studio and dolled her up in duds I can only dream about;)! She's wearing a necklace that's from a broken piece of jewelry I received when my grandma passed away. She is one lucky muse...I miss my grandma...
The clipboards are 7Gypsies and I'd like about a ba-jillion more! I love those little guys!
The Gibb (aka my son) was at Fuss's (aka my mother) house with my sister and her kids, for the past two days. Now he's home and sleeping in his bed, where he belongs :)! It's good to have the little guy back! I'd almost forgotten how interesting trucks and trains can be. Fuss bought him a new tractor at the petting zoo, and he was super stoked to show off his new toy. Hoo-ray for finding happiness in small things like John Deere tractor toys! Leave it to him to help me put things into perspective.
Well, I'm off and back to my BFF. Photoshop.

later.

::sigh:: I wish I could dance.



I do.
Like really, really wish.

We got the awesome chance to see my sweet niece in her dance class today. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite so precious. My niece tends to be a little shy so it was great to see her really get out there and tap her feet and point her toes. Wonderful! :)
Totally took me back to my own venture as a tiny dancer. I was a Golden Girl. I still remember the cheer we did during parades:

We are the Golden Girls
and we are proud
that's why we yell
so very loud
::pause::
All right!


I totally still know the hand motions. I'll spare you the video feed of that little diddy. :P I do it for Robb sometimes. He laughs and pretends to kinda' chant along, but I see through his pretend interest. He doesn't share my dancing dream. ;)
It was one of those situations where I really REALLY wanted to be good, but even at seven I had cankles. Not a pretty look in pink tights and jazz shoes that were a couple sizes too big.

::sigh::

I'll have to stick to my little misses dance class and watching "So You Think You Can Dance" LOVE that show. I've cried every show! There are some amazing dancers. I LOVE Benji and Donyelle. The end of their cha-cha last week rocked my socks. Man, that's a great show. ;)

In other news:
I cooked again today. There must be something in the water...
I haven't cooked two days in a row since....well, ever...

random fact: The Gibb will be spending tomorrow night with my sister at my mom's house, without me. I feel a little weepy, but a little relieved, too. LOTS to do.
Catch ya' later! :)

so very wierd....

Well.

It's official. I've entered blog world.
Like I said. So very wierd.

So much to do with Poppy Ink. I feel my head spinning a bit, just thinking about it. In a totally good way. :)

Oh, and I made potato salad today. My first time, and I have to say it...best potato salad I've ever had. Seriously. I know that sounds a bit cocky, but it's totally true. I think my secret ingredients of celery, celery salt, and pickle juice really made the difference. ;) I also made fruit dip. Whoa, I'm never eating fruit without fruit dip again. I used this recipe and added a bit of marshmellow cream. Sooooo YUM!

Random Fact: There are such things as yellow watermelons. I know this because I accidently bought one today.

The Gibb (my 2-year-old who calls himself "the boy") LOVED the yellow watermelon.

Not the world's coolest first blog entry, but it's all mine. :)

Catch ya' later.
