Happy Birthday Pac-Man!

You're 30?! My oh my, however can this be!? That's means I was 7 when you came into my life Mr. Pac-Man!? WOW...now that makes me feel A LITTLE old. And I do say only A LITTLE! I have always loved Pac-Man. had many a blister from playing Pac-Man! I tend to get very very into my game! I actaully have a friend that is doing one of her sons rooms with Pac-man! How fun would that be to have Pinky, Inky, Blinky & the guys being chased on your walls by Packman!

and how great are these!? Wish I'd of known about it being Pac-Man's birthday before hte day was half over & maybe I'd of done something fun like this! OK, so mine wouldn't have looked this good, but still I would have had fun trying to make them!

Freedom Bundle

LOVE anything patriotic & this is such a great idea that they came up with the star top for the Candy Shoppe warmer! When this came out (the striped warmer itself) for December, all I could think of with this was setting it out in July for the 4th of July & I wanted to set blue stars out by it! Anyways, SUPER cute & June 1st, I'll be ordering one for my house!

Teacher Appreciation Week 2010

We had something special each day of the week during Teacher Appreciation 2010! It was a lot of work planning & getting everything coordinated, but so worth it & I love how well it all came together!
Monday: fresh flowers, cupcakes that looked like apples & a banner


Tuesday: a gift card tree

Wednesday: homemade breakfast items and juice brought in by parents
Thursday: cute bags of trail mix with a saying saying thank you for keeping our kids on the right path & apple Jones soda

Friday: picture frames personalized for the various teachers with their classroom's picture in them and cards signed by the kids. For the administration on the last day I had cookies that looked like glue bottle made up at Cookies By Design & then attached tags to them that said "You're part of the glue that keep the school held together so tight"!

Here are a few of the picture frames...


Mother's Day 2010


One of Tanner's past teacher's pulled him to make this for me & it's one of the best Mother's Day gifts ever! I love personalized things like this!

Comfort, Christmas and Childhood

All three things come to mind when I see this picture of my son.

It was Christmas morning & he was dressed at ready to go to the first Grandma's house and enjoying a movie with his new Spiderman pillow while we got ready. He was comfy laying on our bedroom floor & just cozied up and enjoying himself. AHHH, to be that comfy & relaxed just staying indoors while the snow comes down like crazy outside! We had a wonderfully white Christmas this year! So white, that a lot of people couldn't get out, including my sister in law & my husband had to go pick her & the kids up! Also, first Christmas in the 10 Christmas's we've had where we needed to drive the truck (or even SUV as he's always had before) b/c my Toyota wasn't getting through it! Cars were getting stuck all over town. It was the most WONDERFUL Christmas I can remember in a long time! I love snow during the Holiday's!
