Happy Birthday Moo!!

My sweet baby girl is turning 9 today.  Boy, does time fly!  She is an amazing little girl.  Strong will and strong mind.  She was nearly 6 weeks early because she was impatient.  She still wants every thing immediately and she knows exactly what it is and how it should be done.  She is in charge everywhere she goes.  I fully expect her to take over the world someday.  Happy Birthday to my darling Maggie Moo, I love you!

 Maggie wanted a Valentine's theme for her birthday.  We got our pug, Beulah in September and she is just a bundle of love and kisses.  So we went with Pugs and Kisses.

 I used a file from SVG Cutting Files and played with it a bit to make the little pug hold the hearts.

 I made a shaker card for her too.  I used the same pug file and some balloons and a party hat from the silhouette store.  This little guy when on her party invitations too.

In This House, We Do Geek

In our house we are a bunch of nerds.  And very proud of it.  We think we are cool as hell.  But still, nerds.  We are smart.  We love to learn.  We love science.  And sci-fi.  And fantasy.  Dragons, we really love dragons.  Legos to Legolas, Star Wars to Star Trek, Dungeons and Dragons to Disney castles.  We love to dress up and imagine and create. I made this to go on our family room wall.  I used distress paints on canvas and then vinyl for the lettering.  Weeding the words was a bitch.  But it was worth it.

 "In this house, we believe in magic.
We have epic adventures
and unexpected journeys.
Once upon a time
and in galaxies far, far away.
We do wibbley, wobbley timey, whimey stuff while
going where no one has gone before.
We assemble and defend.
We know the answer to everything is 42
and that the odds are ever in our favor.
We never say die.
We do cosplay and fun.
We aim to misbehave
and we don't care what others think.
Because in this house,
we do GEEK!"

Happy Anniversary!

Mum and Tony recently celebrated their wedding anniversary.  I made a card for Mum to give to Tony.  I colored the boat with my Prisma Colored pencils and blended with gamsol.
