I have been busy with birthdays {husband, son and puppy - yes she had a "cake" with one candle!} and Valentines orders!

I have had a chance to make a handful of these badges - inspired by my love and fascination of fraternal order medals.

In the Shop Here.

xoxo!

I can't imagine how proud his parents must be. What a brave young man. The response from his peers was awesome - it goes to show that the tide is changing and that those who want to deny civil rights will end up being on the wrong side of history {again}.

{happiness in small things}

lots of big happiness today, but a small happiness would be...playing charades with the family and a guess of "Constipated Egyptian" being blurted out. {The correct anwer being King Tut.} Maybe you had to have been there.

YES!

So proud today!

America's possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together.

Happy New Year!

Hello,

Hope you had a wonderful holiday! I was busy with orders, which is a good problem to have! Then things settle down and I had a nice Christmas - stayed home for days on end making some homemade gifts to be sent out/delivered {late}. I made olive oil granola and these insane pbutter pretzel marshmallow things.. only to wake up in the morning and find half of them eaten, a few mornings in a row. The danger of having a teenage boy in the house. Not great, as he is GFree and the pretzels aren't. They are pretty addictive, so it is just as well that they are gone!

We took C {7} to see Santa. In line he turned around and told the two younger kids behind him that Santa doesn't exist. Dagger-looks from the mom! C still believes though, and we all lit our letters to Santa in the fireplace on Christmas Eve.

We are now in desperate need of curtains in the living room - we finally have the xbox hooked up and the neighbors can see us jumping around and acting like fools. The puppy is confused as well. She did love Christmas! All of her toys were dead/gutted by Christmas dinner.

Anyhow, I am glad to be back and happy you are reading this. Wishing you the best in this new year.
