A Few Observations and a Few Thank Yous

I've made these observations today:
1. If I have known you for five years and you still don't know my name, you are a putz.
2. If you have one big dog and two little dogs, but there seems to be shortage of little dog poo in the backyard, you have a problem...note to self - do not kiss the big dog on the lips for a while.
3. I do not think Crocs (and you know I love them) are appropriate footwear for a grown man to wear to church.

And now for the good stuff:
Tomorrow (January 29) is my brother, Ian's, birthday. He will be 29 - so pop on over to his blog and wish him happy birthday:) He also has some fabulous pictures posted of Iraq and the people there.
Miss S's after school class made these cards for Ian - they are on there way to Iraq as we speak:)

I received my Valentine Altered CD from the swap I did with Swap-Bot - look at this beauty that I received:)


This is from the talented Miss Beth - I love that she decorated both sides - I've never even thought to do that. It is hanging in the front room as my first official Valentine's decoration for this year.

And here is what I made for the same swap:

As you can see I've made a few extras...which will be appearing in random mailboxes between now and Valentine's Day:)

MaryAnn sent me some really cool Japenese stationery and Seattle playing cards from her recent trip - she also sent me these beautiful JOY cards for Christmas - I can't remember if I've posted them yet. And the intial cards are from Kelli. Thank you ladies for making me feel so loved:)

Lastly - I received my embroidered patches from Faun's swap - the flower patch is from Kristin but the other two did not have names on them:( If you recognize them, please let me know. All three patches are so beautiful and I love the variety in styles. Faun sent me a little packet of iron on's as a thank you - I haven't decided what I will use them on yet.

Please don't tell us they were the MJ Crocs! I loved your CD's... how darling (I really do love pink inspite of the bum rap I gave it about my office wall).

I'm off to wish your brother a Happy Birthday! How sweet of you to do that on your blog!

Wow you got some great stuff! Actually.. I've never seen a man wear Crocs.. though I completely agree.

I have been married for 21 years. We dated for 5 years before we married. THe preacher at the church myhusband grew up in NEVER remembered my name. The day he died of a heart attack - we bumped into them at WalMArt and he said "hello Charles and this is ___ " long pause while Charles fills in my name. Yes - he was a putz.

Have a great day.

No Crocs in Church - I think that's a law. I'm retty sure!
