Happy 1/2 Birthday To Me!!!





Well I am so happy, I was able to get the Prismacolor pencils over the weekend that I have been eyeing for quite a while... With using the 40% off coupon, I had just enough in gift cards to get these wonderful pencils... I was able to get the set of 120 pencils. It is something that I would never spend that kind of money on but since it is birthday money it is all good!!!

I am so pumped and I cannot wait to start putting them to good use!!!

Happy birthday to me!!!

Avon Walk for Breast Cancer


My girlfriend and I participated in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer for the second year in Chicago, June 2 & 3. This year to meet our fundraising requirements we decided to have a fundraiser. I made a couple of donation cans for the event. I think that they turned out cute..
We have such a great time during the walk. You meet so many great people and you hear some heart wrenching stories... Kris and I walked for my mother-in-law. She is a stage 3, 3 year breast cancer survivor... We are very lucky to have her here with us today to share in these great events... It is a 39 mile walk held over 2 days. It is held in a variety of cities so you should check it out....
Well here are a couple of pictures of the cans and from the fundraiser... ENJOY!!!

I HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND EVER!!

My super husband planned a suprise 1/2 birthday party for me this weekend complete with a beautiful cake and presents.... I had went to some garage sales with my mother-n-law on Saturday and when I got home there was a backyard full of friends and family wishing me a Happy 1/2 Birthday...

Let me explain a little. My birthday is in December and it does kind of get lost in the holiday season, so he decided to have a 1/2 Birthday Party for me in June where it was all about me.... I came home to Palm Trees and balloons, great friends and family and some awesome food. The weather was just fantastic not a cloud in the sky... The pool water was the perfect temp and the sun felt so good... I am so lucky to have such a great and caring husband that would do anything for me... It takes a lot for someone to pull the wool over my eye's but he was able to pull it off.. The little stinker...

I will post pictures when I get them off of my camera into the computer...
