So, I hear its Women's Day today.

So today is Women's Day. I never knew that there was a Women's Day. Seems like there is a day or a month for every one (unless your a white guy who isn't a dad, you just get your Birthday, sorry guys). No complaining here though, I'll celebrate just about anything.

Speaking of celebrating and Birthdays, it seems to me like spring our Birthday Party season. Famous people get their awards season with Oscars, Razzies, Tonys, and what not. We have bunches of great kids. So to start us off, we had Miss Wiggles Birthday. There would have been A's Birthday in Richmond, but we moved at that time. Then their was Miss E's, Cloggsy's daughter. You know her from the English Tea blog on my left side bar. Then there is all my nieces and now a nephew (my other nephew isn't until August). I've got my big sis and my mom, my Dad right after new years. Coming up is our little friend B's birthday. Last weekend, our frien N turned two.

So basically you get the point. I'm going to admit something. My New Years Resolution has been to remember everyones Birthday in my family. I've never been good at that. So far I haven't failed at the very least, remembering to call. Next year we will work on actually sending something. Its pathetic seriously, but for me just remembering is a big feat. For the record, my own Birthday gets skipped over by some of my sibs while others, without fail call and sing me Happy Birthday. My brother Scott called and left a Happy Birthday song message on my cell. I kept it and listened to it for like three months. I loved it.

And thats the rub. Who doesn't like to be remembered? We all do. Some are so afraid of being forgotten or rejected that they will do it first to save their own feelings. That kind of hurt comes from somewhere, so my goal in my New Years resolution is really to not perpetuate the hurt.

Who doesn't deserve a little celebration of their own? I'm a fan of Happy Unbirthdays. Go Mad Hater!

So, anyway, thanks for reading my ramble.

Do you have anyone in particular or anything for that matter you love to celebrate?

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

Image
I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
