What Am I Excited About?

Well of course I am excited about the huge giveaway week Lincoln Handmade team is having! I am featured tomorrow, so make SURE you come back here and enter for a fab prize!
What else has me feelin it? Well, I was browsing the recently listed items on etsy (towards the bottom of the home page, really, I love this feature) when I saw what appeared to be a large mitten or a oven mitt resting on a computer keyboard. Intruiged and wondering why those two items were together, I clicked! What did I find? A MOUSE MITT!

Seriously, this may not be big news to anyone else, but I thought I was the ONLY person who got 'cold mouse hand' and here was this awesome etsian making a product specifically for my affliction! I was just so surprised, I wrote write away telling them what a great idea they had and asking if I could tell a few more people about it here in my blog. They said yes, so here you go, new product alert from little old me.
P.S. Haha! Check out their WELCOME BACK KOTTER Dolls/Action Figures. Too awesome! And they have a new blog- http://www.baddoggiesblog.blogspot.com/

Her First Real Haircut

Her First Real Haircut, originally uploaded by Chimera Creation.

We had decided to let her hair grow out, but then I talked us both into getting it cut. I just don't want it hanging in her face all summer while we are at the pool! We need something easy and breezy for all the swimming and bike riding and general summerness we have planned. I love it! I wish I could get mine cut like that!

Two Things On My Radar

A Girl and Her Llama by ADR Photographic Art

I love this photo and now I must have my own llamma. (I did buy the print, maybe that will tide me over.)

Also on the radar, a blog I love to read- Romantic History But it is especially on my radar for these little boy rompers. HOW CUTE are those?!?! And she made the pattern up herself. So amazingly talented!

Elsa On Stairs

I love capturing one of those distant glamour shot looks when I'm taking photos of Elsa! lol We've been having SO much fun going to the haymarket, it's like our new favorite place to go. She loves to walk by the trains on the western edge.

Another One

From Bad Joke Wednesday in the Etsy Forums

"Did you hear about the new cordoroy pillow cases?"

"They're making headlines."

I had so much fun at the Wayne Craft Fair! I sold the most I've ever sold at a craft fair (like FOUR things!) but besides that, it was just such a great atmosphere. They had plenty of food and drink and live music. The ride up was a blast with some super nice chick-fil-a's! I'm so glad I decided to go!

Joke

From my Reader's Digest I just got in the mail:
A guy walks into a bar with a lizard on his shoulder. "What do you call that?" asks the bartender. "Tiny," says the guy. "Because he's my newt."

LOL! I admit, it took me a good 30 seconds and a re-read to get it, but then I totally laughed... out loud even!

Be Safe.

HAHA, this is SO awesome! I got it from Visions in Vinyl
She actually sent me two, so I put one on each side! The color 'ice blue' matches my van perfectly. The Windstar is SO pimpin now!
