And the winner is...

Remember when we last played Name That Note Card and I forgot to ever pick a winner? Well, I've decided. Kind of. I like "Prim & Proper" and "White Picket Fence" and I just can't decide but they were both suggested by the same person...the one and only Katie! Email me, girl! You win!

On the road...

We took school on the road this week. We just got back from San Antonio. I love San Antonio. I love the food...yummy Mexican food. I love the Riverwalk. I love that boat ride! It was fun. We drove. That wasn't fun. Our DVD player broke before we even got out of town. So Not Fun. We stopped in Austin to see my BFF from college!!! FUN!!! We hadn't seen each other in forever and ever. Our little girls had never met and they are the same age. It was the most wonderful thing to see Nora and Lucy playing together like old friends. I wish we lived closer!!
The Dar & Me

Here is where I would post a super cute pic of little Nora and Lucy but I forgot to ask if Lucy's mommy wanted her picture on a blog...just picture two fabulously adorable happy little girls.

Now that we are back I'm hoping that I can get back into the groove of things. I'm tossing around the idea of a PaperDoll Open House but that's a lot of work and I can't seem to commit. I'm going to clean my office this weekend, try to add more items to the website (for real this time) and I just might work on some Christmas card ideas. We'll see how I feel after that...

Have a great weekend!

Keep Calm & Carry On...that's what I'm trying to do! :)

I'm still here...

This post is for those of you who have noticed that I was sort of MIA. Thanks for noticing and thanks for the emails :)

Cheer has started, dance has started, gymnastics has started, golf has started, AWANA has started, home school has started and the Baker had the nerve to go out of town AGAIN this week. I do not know how you single mommas and mommas with traveling husbands survive. YOU are my heroes. I was so happy to see him walk in the door! Home school, work and no daddy does not a happy family make. We missed him. We're so happy that he is back.

I'm staying crazy busy. The new website has been great and I'm noticing lots of new customers. The new totes and the key chains have sold like crazy and today I added a few more new items to the shop (coin purses, market totes, mini backpacks, black cherry Smencils!) It's been so much fun to add non-paper items. I really do feel like I'm getting presents when the UPS guy comes. If I could only convince myself that I don't really need one of every item in every color...

I don't have tons to say...just wanted to let you know that I'm still alive. I'm taking a little break for a few days and then I hope to get my groove back.

Oh...and I almost forgot all about that Name That Note Card game that we played forever ago. I totally forgot to name a winner. I'll let you know by the end of the week.

See ya!

Flipping Out

Do you watch it? It's my new favorite show. I don't know why I love it, but I do. I'm not sure that it's even supposed to be funny but I think it's hilarious. Jeff Lewis cracks me up. Nathan sits there in silence while I laugh out loud. Watch it...I love it.

Happy Birthday G!

9 years ago today at this time (it's 2 a.m...why must I be such a night owl?) I was holding my sweet Graham. He was not quite two hours old. He was born on Labor Day. It was fitting...I went into labor late at night on the 2nd. I spent the whole day of September 3rd in labor and FINALLY just after midnight he made his arrival. It's been said by millions of mommies...but my whole world changed right then. I had no idea how hard the job would be and no idea how wonderful the job would be.


I could go on and on about Graham and what a blessing he is in our lives. Really, I could. Not a day goes by that I am not amazed by him. He is such a sweet little man. Have I told you that he asks me every day if there is anything he can do to help me?? Several times a day! This year I asked him to give me 9 wishes that he wished for his birthday. Wish #1...that everyone else has a good day on his birthday. Seriously!

Happy Birthday my little Lego man...

I love you more than you can imagine!

wish #7...Dave & Busters...wish granted.

Worry Wart

I'm a worry wart and lately I've been worrying that some of my faithful local customers don't like the new checkout system on the website. REMEMBER, I still accept email orders but for those of you who would like to use the shopping cart, I have decided to add the option of "paying at pick up" for local customers. I am testing it for now. If I run into problems I will have to remove it but we'll see how it goes. Every once in a while I get customers that order and never pick up and that is what I'm trying to avoid. So many of you are long time customers that I know I can trust and I want to give you this option.

Coming soon....check out the new tote bags on the website. SO CUTE!!!
