Ta Da!!

There I go changing the banner to a Christmas theme acting like I'm gonna start posting regularly or somethin'.  I have good intentions, but we will see... 

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving - we surely did!  SOOOO much to be thankful for this year!!

Lisa-Late

I'm considering making the name change official.  It has a nice ring to it don't ya think?
Anyway, here's that other Halloween card I mentioned ohhhhh.....about a month ago.

Lola wanted to get in on the festivities, so she posed for a card for her sister.

BTW, she is on a diet these days.  Been feeding her rice cakes instead of treats - she really likes them, they are vet approved, and they're WWWAAAAAAAYYYY cheaper than pig's ears or raw hides!

(I know what you're thinking:  "Based on yesterday's post, I should probably consider switching my treats to rice cakes, too." Hmmmmm....)

I have got to get a job!

'Nuff said...

Happy Halloween! (a bit belated)

Recently, I found the CUTEST ever picture in Real Simple magazine.  Sooo, I pirated it and turned it into a Halloween Card for Chicken Little.  (Is it pirating if you bought the magazine?  No?  I didn't think so.)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!  Three little piggies!  L.O.V.E.  I added the "costumes" to make them seasonally appropriate.

And what did I put inside?

Get it?  And this little piggy went "wee, wee, wee,wee all the way home."  Of course you get it! 

Ha ha ha ha ha!  I crack myself up! 

And because once just wasn't enough, here they are again....

CL's sister (Lola) also made her a card, but I'm not home and I don't have the cord to get it off of my camera, so I'll post it later this week even though it will be late.

I hope all your little piggies had a safe and happy Halloween!

True 'dat

I'm thinking about a new series of posts: quotes and ideas (truths) that resonate with me.  This may be the only one in the series (of course then it wouldn't really be a "series"), or it may not.  Just thinkin' and postin'...

(btw: the photo isn't mine - I just found it in MS clip art)

Minimalism

For a really long time, I've lived my life with a "more is more" mind set.  In some areas, this isn't so bad.  In others (like food and shopping!), it's not such a good thing.

So, last year some of you may remember the Halloween House, and all the decorating I did. If not, you can check it out here. 

This year I've adopted a new approach.  I've been decorated since the end of August...

Isn't he cute?!  That's my nod to Halloween. I bought him right before I took Chicken Little back to school, and he's been on display ever since.  (I was just too lazy to put him away.)

The card is from CL.  Give a hoot, cause it's so cute.  (LOL - ugh!)  CL has also been prepared for Halloween for quite a while because she made all of these cards while she was home this summer.  Give her credit - she did wait to send it until just a few weeks ago. 

So, that's pretty much it, except for the mantle.

I kinda like it. 

AND when it comes time to switch it out for Thanksgiving.... BAM!  I'm done.  :-)

I think I could really begin to embrace this whole minimalist thing.

Sweet Home Alabama All Summer Long...

I LOVE me some Kid Rock!

 We saw him a couple of times this summer.  He puts on an AWESOME show!

Even if you don't like him, the audience is a hoot! Lots of fun people watching. ;-)

I tell ya, if I weren't a "grown up," I would be in serious danger of becoming a white-trash groupie.
