Wow...has time flown by!

It has been waaaay too long since I last posted and for that I apologize. I haven't been as productive as I would like due to lots of visitors (YAY) and children's illnesses (BOO) but we are back to "normal" now.

Happy New Year! I have not made ANY resolutions this year because I think that sets me up for failure so forget it!

I have reclaimed my work space that was taken over by lego for a while. A Christmas thing! Here is photo from our Christmas... Yes we did the matching pajamas thing. I think that it is so cute while they are little. Also a photo with the Christmas crackers and dinner. Fun and yummy food. The kids had a great Christmas which always makes me happy. My husband and I had a great Christmas because his younger brother Aaron decided to surprise us with a visit. You may not think this is a big deal but boy I do since he came from London! Good times.

Over the holiday I lost my voice for about 5 days it would come and go. I never had that that long before. Funny story, since you know I often include little conversations in my blog, though usually with my kids. This conversation took place with a local checkout girl at the supermarket. It went something like this:

Girl: Do you have your shopper's card?
Me: Yes (broken and half whisper)
Girl: What?
Me: Sorry I have laryngitis. (cracked and whispered)
Girl: Oh that's ok...I'll talk louder!
Me: I haven't lost my hearing, I've lost my voice!

Ahhhh, our school system makes me proud! LOL

One more thing, Aaron took me to an open mic night in Pittsburgh and even though I felt kinda yuck and couldn't talk I had soooo much fun. I videoed him with his little new camera and you can watch it here. Yes I am biased but he is so freakin' talented so check him out.

OH and even one MORE thing...I want to thank two fabulous artists who blessed me with two more blog awards. One is the lovely Colleen from Loopy Boopy. It means a lot to me that you dig my art. I feel the same way! And the equally as lovely Sonia from The Dark Raven's Nest. Thank you soooo much, it really does mean a lot to me. :o)

More soon.
