fun labels.

i found super-cute party theme ideas when looking for bridal *stuff* on this website. it is a wedding style website that framed all the themes around bridal showers which got my mind racing for upcoming friends who might tie the knot in the next few years.

then i got to thinking and several of them could so be a non-bridal shower. they're good fro any ole regular party, get together, birthday, or special occasion! i even used the super cute book club labels for a recent birthday occasion.


sondra turned a FABULOUS age last week and we got her some light reading material. one from me, one from the boy, and one from lucy. i downloaded these labels for the to/from tags and these labels for the 'this book is perfect for you because....' part and VOILA. add fun wrapping paper and we've got ourselves some composition notebook style gifts. perfect for the teacher in ur lives ;-)

game day.

it's GAME DAY...

go team CUPCAKES!!!!

snow bound.

you know a lot of snow fell when....


your snow brush snaps from the weight of it!

obama address.

my brother and his girlfriend live in the DC area. somehow, someway they scored amazing seats to the inauguration address the evening before and braved the cold and the crowds tuesday to watch history in our nation. here are some of his pics:

rising gas prices.

i've decided to come out of hiding in the blogging world and publicly face what has been taking up all my spare time.


no, it's not the rising gas prices. it's the date of our upcoming wedding. our fast-approaching, getting closer by the day, can't put off any longer wedding date.

i apologize in advance, for all the wedding subject posts that are in our future. well, minimally mine, and yours too if you continue to have me ;-)

lucky lucy.

hey gang, lucy here.

call the newspapers cause i really can't believe it. i'm shocked. AMAZED. could it really be true?! could i have made it through my first halloween WITHOUT MY MOM DRESSING ME UP?!?!? i checked the calendar not once, not twice, but THREE times and sure enough - it was the 31st all day long and nothing...

no lions.
no silly hats. (i'm not an easter bunny or a reindeer for heaven sakes)
no bumblebees.
no ladybugs.
not even a shirt!

as if that wouldn't make my day, then they ran off to some party looking like FOOLS while i got to lounge on the couch tormenting every trick-or-treater that came to the door. i'm so happy they mistakingly left the porch light on b/c it tricked those kids into thinking someone was home. you shoulda seen their scared kiddie faces!

so, yes, the rumors are true. my mom didn't dress me up. i skated by this year by the grey hairs on my chinny-chin-chin. it's probably better off that she didn't anyway. not like she was winning any points with me wearing a poodle on her skirt.

lovin the lazy life,
lucy

happy halloween.

boo.
