Homemade for the Holidays

T and I made these lovelies for some special people!  I think they turned out cute AND it was easy enough for T to be able to paint and apply the sequins.  I did the cutting and gluing.



We also made flowers but I didn't notice until I loaded the picture that a sequin was taken away by a little hand...

9 years...

C and I have been together for 9 years today.  Gotta love the guy :)   Had to go and dig online for our engagement photo.... here it is!

Etsy Find Wednesdays #13

Awesomely Awesome:  Personalized Holiday Cards $21 for 12 from PrettySmitten
While a bit pricey, it's über cute and worth the money for those special people in your life you'd like to send a special hand-written note to!  Perfect for my grandfather who complained last year that I just sent a photo card with no note... to which I answered "at least I sent a card!"

Awesomely Awful:  Mr. T Christmas Card $2 for 1 from sechetesdents

Nothing says Merry Christmas or Joyeux Noel like Mr. T calling you a fool with reindeer antlers on!  Well worth $2 bucks if you ask me.... wait, I'm not supposed to want it.  Damn.

Mom Update

Mom is in the hospital.   She has an infection in her bladder and colon... she has a growth in her colon that has slowed down her system thus causing the infection.  They put her on antibiotics and will have to do surgery.  It is possible that the growth is cancerous so they'll need to do a biopsy.  I'm scared out of my mind and I hate that she's in Florida and I am here.  I should be there for my mother :(
