owls

Time is flying by and Christmas is sneaking up on me and I'm halfway done with my shopping. This is a lot better than last year. I managed to get Christmas cards out the beginning of December, a lot faster than last year...I didn't have time to send any, the year before I got them out a week before Christmas. Yeah! for me!

from My Owl Barn

I just wanted to share a calendar I found online it's free, always a good thing and if you are into owls it's all about owls.

Happy shopping!

early celebration

We celebrated Ram's 9th birthday Sunday instead of Monday because Mondays are just too busy for us. He picked a space theme with an OU cake. All the gifts were opened and of he was very happy with them even though he did mention what he didn't get.

We all had chocolate cake and watched Denver beat Minnesota. YEA!

He had his choice of restaurants for dinner...Red Robin....Yum! hehe! He got a big fish pillow that was probably the icing on the cake for him. Loves to go fishing, he hooks his own worms and when he catches something he takes it off the hook himself...thank goodness because that's the part I don't like. ewwww!

He had a great day.

I wanted to thank everyone who sent me a text with birthday wishes he loved that everyone remembered him!

XO,

happy halloween

Hope you all enjoy Halloween as much as I do. I will have pictures of the munchkins later [they are not munchkins for Halloween...just to clear that up]. I would love to see everyone else's pictures too. Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween!

[Think of Vincent Price's voice...]

HAHAHA-A-HAHA...HAHAHA-A-HAHA!!

Check out this poster I saw on How About Orange blog, it actually belongs to Idea Oscura and you can read how she got the inspiration for it on her blog. There are so many talented people out there producing great work it is amazing! I just love the great job she did with the font and icons. It can be downloaded for free, and I love the last line of inspiration.

I've been working on a poster of my own because I love the different typesets and this is my attempt at it. It's simple, but the message is strong. I only have the limited fonts Word comes with and have spent waaay too much time looking at them all to make a decision. It takes me forever to pick something, I never would make it as a designer! The quote is not mine I cannot remember where I saw it, so if someone knows who said it let me know. Yup, tried googling it but it brought up two different names...??? Mine isn't downloadable and I'm having issues with my printer it keeps jamming. I really need to put up two; one for work and one for home... 

Hopefully you will find inspiration and goodwill. (Do I sound like I'm in the holiday spirit or what!)
