life. isnt it bizarre?? even more then that, its crazy that although you and i may not have met in really life, i miss you. i appreciate you and i think of you. honest. i miss my blog too, and well, to be completely honest, at this moment, im drowning in life. i cant seem to catch my breath and the surface seems so far away. im not sad, im just behind. on life. and i cant catch up. i hate this feeling. for example, this blog make over i was finally able to apply to my blog, ive been holding on to it for almost two months now. i was so stoked and excited to share my new grab button and my new spring and summer re-vamp,,, i just havent had time. i havent scrapped but one layout in over a month. i want to, i just.dont.have.time. i hate this feeling. to top it all off,,, my darling girl baby thought itd be cool to mis-place my adapter thing-a-ma-jig to upload photos to my mac, so, until i find that,,, *sigh*,,, so this is whats new with me. its kinda fun to share, because i dont get too personal here. so here we go,,,

*i love my bestie more then ever. we.are.perfect.together.

*i got a new bike,,, so stoked and i cant wait to break her in and get her a woven basket, streamers and a bell. cant wait.

*i cant believe it. i havent introduced you to my new man. hes perfect and adorable,,, his name is logan and im in love.

{my mom was lucky enough to puppy-sit a few weekends back and, well, they had a great time. i think my mom wants them back} :-)

*school is out for summer. t-ball is over, and so is dance. {thank God}. im D.O.N.E.

*my girlfriends and i from my little mans school put together a competition for *the biggest loser* i won. :-) i was, $120. richer,, but its all gone now,,, {it went quick} i love 28 pounds in two months.

*im leaving for hawaii in less then a week, {which is why i took the biggest loser so seriously} ;-)

*we got two new kitties, and one is perfect. the other, not so much, but theyre both cute. one is sitting right next to me right now,,, {dont tell my hubby, he doesnt want them in the house}, but he is so sweet and purrrrrrsssss & puurrrrrrrsssss,,, i love him. i just caught the kids putting him in a plastic toys r us shopping bag. they said they were pretending they were going to take him home. needless to say, they got a major talking to, sent to their room and im guarding this baby with my life now. they are young and dont understand the seriousness of plastic bags yet,,, well, they should now, after today. please no mean comments,,, i think i made my point clear. i did my mom duty. poor baby kitty, but hes fine. like i said, hes a rad kitty.

*the beautiful miss lynnette named a kit after me. im so honored. and the best part?? well, its rad. totally perfect. its fun being a lollipop shop girl.

today is the first day of summer break. i helped out in my sons classroom all three days this week. when i was in school, the last few days were my favorite, so i couldnt resist. i figured today would be a perfect day to share my blog make over. even though i have so many goodies that i have put together for my personal etsy shop, {as well as an adorable make over for that baby}, well, i just cant get em both done right now. and of course, my make over was done, once again, by the ever so talented and patient D. i adore her and her work. shes awesome.

thanks for reading my blog. lemme know what you think of the make over. and have a magical day,,, love you.

if you could live in a world and only shop one place ~ where would you choose?? me?? etsy. no furthers questions,,,, i wanted to share with you some treasures. my very, very favorite shop on etsy is this one,,, by like, a lot,,, but of course it is,,, ;-) and to be completely honest, if you have ever dreamt of picking up this kit,,

the one elsie, first designed with,,, honestly, we only have two left. honest. and i think after i make this post, im thinking they might move, so if you wanted it, come and get it,,,

moving right along,,,,

i want everything from etsy,,, but these are my current favs,,, and some, i might have shared before,, but, like forever ago,,, so i can share again, yes?? okay, cool,,, here i go,,,

i love this little shop,,, and i think this wallet is so rad,,, great prices too,,,

im sure sharing skunkboy creatures with you is no *hey, look at this new shop i found* action,, but none the less, i love monty. my bestie is lucky enough to have three skunkboy creatures!! three!!! man,,, lucky, lucky lady,,,
