The Tooth Fairy Falls on Hard Times

This economy is even affecting the Tooth Fairy. 

Two little girls losing both front teeth within a month really hit her hard in the pocketbook.

When Creativity Knocks

I was fortunate to meet the WCK's gang at CHA. They are so fabulously funny. Ana and Megan have conceived this interesting concept for a show. They have just begun, so check back often for new shows and blog updates. They were very busy at the trade show with some interesting interviews.

Tell them Sudie sent you!

Birthday Roll

Happy birthday to my mother in law who turns 70 today!

and a very happy birthday to my husband who celebrated his birthday without me on Monday.  I'm working my way out of the dog house.  *bark*

Home Again

So happy to be home after a wonderful CHA trip. 

We found some great new stuff.  I cannot wait for it to come into the store.  Elise, Mary and I have so much to share with everyone.  New techniques, tools, goodies, and much more.  We have big plans for special events and classes too.  It appears Elise is already back at the store hard at work and putting things on sale.   If you did not get her latest email let either her or me know and we will make sure you get one.

I am downloading pictures on Flickr and will share as soon as it is complete.

Come join me at Paperclipping Live tonight.  I am going to try to make it. ;)

Happy crafting.

For Pushy Shannon

LOL  Alright, lady.  Here is your before picture.

Her hair is probably longer than waist length because it was flipped under for this ponytail. 

Don't cry for me

My sweet baby girl is getting so big!  7 this Saturday!  I remember so clearly meeting her for the first time.  I just kept staring at her and had an iron grip on her.  You can see that in all the photos too!  LOL  

and She had such a strong smell to her that I could hardly stand it.  It would wake me up when they brought her in the room.  seriously.  She still has that same smell to me.  but please don't tell her.  Or my mom.   Mama gets mad when I mention it, as if I am insulting A,   Funny.

When Meemee was born, I returned home to find sweet little A's hair cut in a bowl shape style. yes.  It had not been cut before that.  I was very upset.  I promised A. that as long as she took care of her hair, we would let it grow long and not cut it.  Well, little did I know what good care she would take of it.  She brushed it 100 times at night, washed it and everything.  all by herself.  Well at almost 7, it reached her waist.

Tonight, I talked her into cutting it.  Much shorter but still below her shoulders.  and did wispy layers in the front.  I love it.

She loved it.

Hated it.

Loved it.  then cried for her hair pieces that I threw away.

Oh, dear.  I told her that I feel the same way when I get a new hair style.  I really do.

But the problem is, as much as I love her new 'do, it makes her look 7.  and that makes me want to cry.
