Get the Funk Out (word of the year challenge)

Charmed
My word of the day prompted me to reconstruct a charm bracelet. You can read about it over at Cardigan Cake.

"Get the Funk Out!" is probably going to fall by the wayside as Jess and I focus our efforts on the new blog. I think that Cardigan Cake came about from our efforts to get out of our post Christmas funks though... so it wasn't all for nothing.

Also, I will still be blogging here with all of my personal craftiness that doesn't fall under the vintage blanket.. so don't forget about me ;) And definitely check out

Anyone for Cardigan Cake?

cardigancakegreen

Jess and I started a NEW BLOG together! It's called

Cardigan Cake
We really wanted a place to express our passions for all things vintage and show off our retro inspired homemaking styles. We will have recipes (that can be printed out on cute recipe card templates), craftiness, homemaking tips, vintage finds. Really 'swell' things! Bookmark us! We'll be updating frequently!

Lunch

and check out my 'middles' yesterday who desperately wanted to be outside despite the CHILLING wind:

I was up VERY late

for my husbands blog

I spent hours working on my husbands blog last night.. a rough draft version that I tossed and ended up with something quite whimsical...yes I am married to a grown man who obsesses about anything Disney... but it means I have fun vacations and plenty of entertainment ;) In his defense he is also Security Supervisor at his place of business, spent 4 years in the navy as a gunner, and watches football any time it doesnt interfere with church. lol

Lunch

Lunch

Since the office got cleaned out, Miss B and I have taken to having our lunch at the desk. The new desk is sort of "C" shaped...a long section underneath the cabinets wraps around to the computer area and then the final section is an extended table.

B pulls up a chair and eats there. After she's done she'll either rifle through the new scrap drawer (a special place for misprinted copies, wrinkled paper, and scraps) or pull out the new "Lite Brite" I found at the thrift store yesterday. Miss E usually follows us or takes a nap.

B and the Lite Brite B and the lite brite

I've been very busy. Working on sessions and other photography related work and a new blog coming along as well... yawn ;)

Ian

Ian is one of my dear friend Raesha's good looking brothers ;) We've never met in person but I think if we did, we'd be bestest friends. Ha ha... that is if I could keep up with him and I'd have to clear it with his cute wife (oh and of course my husband.) Ok so here's the deal...Ian is stationed in Iraq and he takes tons of pictures of what is going on around him! Sure, some of them are of celebs on the USO tour, and some are of his buddies hanging around in camo, (that's him on the left)

but he also takes a ton of pictures of things going on with the Iraqi people. Meetings, humanitarian activities, kids playing, healing, smiling. I love watching his flickr stream for new pictures. I look at these images and think National Geographic...really I do Ian. They are beautiful!

"Get the Funk Out!"

New blog idea

Jess and I were chatting tonight. Just complaining to each other AGAIN that there's nothing new on the web, not many people are updating, all the post holiday FUNK is still hanging around. Well not any more! We're going to start something new to "Get the Funk Out!." I will update later tonight when it is all set up.

Details here

A dream come true ;)

Someone Kidnapped my Kids

and replaced them with cute obedient robots!!!!


I thought I'd start some new traditions for new year's day... make Hoppin' John for dinner, homemade winter spiced donuts and cocoa for dessert, and a photo session. The usual problem with planning ANYTHING around here, is that something is bound to go a little bit wrong... just a little loose thread and then the whole kit and caboodle unravels!

But not today...

Not for one single moment...

there was no fighting...

the kids followed directions...

T actually LOOKED IN THE CAMERA!!!

*sniff* it was the best day ever ;)

I think it started here in this teleporter disguised as a phone booth:adorable obedient robot children

The donuts ended up being the failure today ;)Go see more pictures from today at my photo blog.
