Ok, so I have to yap a bit about my trip to New Orleans, don't worry, I'll try and keep it lite!! Ok, so the whole point of this trip was to see my nephew graduate from boot camp! But when I originally booked my ticket the Saints were doing really good, so I extended my stay for the Super Bowl, just in case!! Boy am I glad I did! It was like nothing I've ever seen before! I think I'm finally starting to slightly come off of my high of my team FINALLY making it to the Superbowl, and then WINNING IT!! Lordy, that just made my year! Needless to say, I have made it a point to rub the Saints winning into my husband's face (Seahawks fan) and not because he's not a Saints fan, but because all year, he just kept waiting for us to lose!! Well hardy, hardy, har har dear hubby!!! ahhahahaha!
I had such an awesome time with my family in New Orleans, plus the fact that I didn't have any kids to get up and make breakfast for! OMGoodness, that part was totally awesome!! But I did miss my babies so much. I don't think I'll be going on vacation away from them for that long ever again! So back to my trip, I just hung out with my sisters, we ate, drank...oooh speaking of drinking, one night I had way too many Margaritas, and well, I found out that a. I can't drink like I used to; b. I can't hold in my liquor like I used to; and c. I can't recover from drinking like I used to! My oh my what a not-so-wonderful day!! I didn't drink for the rest of the trip, well except for Bloody Mary's, who considers that cocktails anyway, it's more like a meal, especially the way they serve it in N.O. (olives, pickled okra, and picked green beans - mmmmm) Now I want one, haha! Then the eating, I WAS trying to watch what I ate, but seriously, if you ever consider visiting New Orleans, just throw that diet/change of lifestyle or whatever they are calling it these days....OUT OF THE WINDOW!!! Gosh I miss the food!
Ok, so moving on, guess what me and my sisters did while we were there, well and my niece too, we all got tattoos!!! I have this cute fleur de lis, I love it! Well, in actuality we ALL got fleur de lis'!! But what was even cuter is that while we were there, these 3 older ladies (late 50's / 60's) were going in for their fleur de lis tattoos!! haahahahah, I just thought that was just too funny!
I could go on longer about my trip, but I don't want to bore you, hahaha - but in the end, the Saints won and I'm a happy Momma again!!
Ok, so my Guest Designer-ship (hehe) is about to come to an end, and well, I have a couple more things in my store....I didn't get to do as much as I'd hoped while I was in New Orleans, but why did I ever think that I could, haha!
But I did have a new product a week or two ago, but just didn't have time to blog about it, so check it out....
CUT OUTS; VOL. 1I just love these picture templates, they are so fun....just add a piece of paper from your kit and voila!!
This week I have a couple of new products, first is a wordart pack made to match Kami / Ziggle Designs' newest kit - IN THE WILD!
In this pack I have a few word arts, a mask and a cut out template!! Here's a gorgeous layout by Nancy using both In the Wild and the wordart:
Ok, so I love making wordart, but I love making these little word bits - this week, it's all about the boys....
Bits about Boys! I used basic 'boy' colors and also stuck in a few elements too!!
Also, I'd like to Thank Kami/Ziggle Designs so much for allowing me to make a word art pack for her newest kit!! Thanks Kami, you really do rock girl!!
Don't worry....I made a little freebie for you today, a sample cut out!!
BTW, that's me and my wonderful nephew in the pic, what can I say, I'm a proud Aunt!!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Now, in honor of St. Patick's Day, I have this awesome freebie for you - I know I'm biased, but I love them so much, here's a great Irish and/or Spring-ish alpha for you - there's two different types, and I also made a little Shamrock, vine and flower to dress them up a bit - see...awesome!
