Valentine's Day Cards


A couple of Valentine's Day cards I made today. The first one uses some PapertreyInc. Raspberry Fizz colored paper and the polka dot one uses an A Muse 4 bar notecard-Kitchen Red

New Haircut/color


For Christmas, Susie got me a gift card to Gene Juarez. So I now have a new cut and changed the color of my hair up a bit. Got partial highlights, too! Front and Back views provided!
Of course, good luck to me getting my hair to look like this the next time I wash it and try to style it myself.
Had an interesting week-a bit of a dust up at school with a volunteer which got me invited to the Principal's office to give my side of the story. Why this volunteer couldn't "man-up" and approach me directly instead of involving the Principal is beyond me. Oh yeah, I am so unreasonable, unapproachable and sacrastic. NOT!
Then on Friday morning, as I was walking down my front porch steps, my feet went out from underneath me due to the steps being slippery from the frozen water on them. Have a nice purple bruise on my back and arm. I was worried that I would really be sore today, the day after the fall, but I popped an Aleve and I am good to go. Even got a 1/2 hour jog in!
I got my new toys delivered yesterday-ink pads, ribbon, paper so I am looking forward to playing today and maybe post a photo of playtime results later.

Family Lunch

My brother, David (one year younger) and me. I hate photos of myself! I need a haircut and to re-fresh the color-hopefully next week!
Today, Rob and I met my dad, David Crowder and his wife, Harietta for our annual lunch at Marie Calendars by Northgate. We usually do this before Christmas, but all that snow made us delay our get together. I usually order something really light, like soup or petite salad in order to have a slice of my favorite pie, Lemon Creamcheese.
It was fun to see everyone and lucky for us the restaurant wasn't crowded since we were there for 3 hours!
