Rub a Dub Dub ~ Faux Hawks in the Tub!  Tub time with Drakie.

I had the coolest experience at CHA {The Craft and Hobby Association Expo} and even though it was months ago, I just couldn't resist telling you all about it. It's so beautiful and there are craft supplies everywhere you look.  It's a crafters dream! * I must apologize for my terrible pictures.  I just got a new camera so I am so excited to learn how to use it and take amazing photos for you fab gals. {wink} I flew directly from Blissdom {a blogging conference} to CHA in LA with Jen, Marie , Beckie , and Kami.   It was awesome to get to know these amazing women so much better. I'm always amazed when I find other women who have the same passions and insterests that I do.  {snicker}   Cindy – Jen – Kami – Heather – Marie – Me – Beckie – Amy We weren't the only bloggers there!  We met up with so many others who also share our addiction to paper,  products, and things that glitter. CHA is an expo where stores buy their products direct ...

{Our Before Picture} Over the weekend Lisa {my sister} threw her man a mystery baseball birthday party.  When we were brainstorming themes I quickly remembered the Holi Powder party  I featured from Jordan's blog in 2007.  I've been dying to do it since the day I read about her outrageous party! {We warned each guest in the invite to wear grubby clothes and old shoes.} After discovering that we wouldn't be able to buy the Holi Powder in bulk, we decided to use it to play baseball.  This way it would last a little longer and we would all be engaged in a fun game. Where did we get the holi powder?   Lisa purchased twenty four 7oz packages from Bombay Bazzaar in Arlington . She negotiated the price of $2 a package. In your area, Google "india store" and then call around asking if they sell "holi powder".   It was perfect since all our men have been on the same softball team for years and the season just started.    How did we play?  Lis...

Boy do I have a silly treat for you today. {{snicker}} A fabulous friend of mine {and someone who I greatly admire) guilt-tweated me into posting a Mom Casting video submission for the new blogger reality show that's in the works.  {{bwaahaa!}} I'm only doing this for YOU my dear Ciaran. Only for you! and Yes "guilt-tweeted" is a word. {Watch Laurie's Mom Casting Video submission on YouTube} In all honesty, there's no way that I'll be chosen so I'm not worried about it. The blogosphere is filled to the brim with successful mormon-mommy-bloggers to be the resident LDS reality show contestant.  Most of whom are way more talented than little ol' me. Why did I finally cave and do the video?  Well... a while ago, I realized that I was sabotaging myself and not accepting offers because I was scared that I wouldn't be able to pull it off, or that I would be so nervious I'd be a sweaty mess. So I decided to stop that behavior immediate...
