Not much is going on

It's been pretty quiet since I got back from the coast. We had such a blast! We had the Presidential Suite which was very fitting since it was election night and we have a wonderful new president. Even if you don't agree with his politics the pride and hope that people are experiencing makes me look forward to the future. So! Wanna see the room! It was CRAZY!

The first picture is of the front of our room. Yes, that is a baby grand piano. We also had a bathroom the size of my whole upstairs! The next picture is the coastline. I love the Pacific Northwest coastline. I do missing laying out in the sun but the rocky coast is so beautiful. The last picture is of Mark at Camp Disappointment. I love that name.



Oh yeah, one more thing. I came across this tree and I am DYING to know the name of it. I want to plant on in my yard. Does anyone know. Those are the actual flowers/leaves on it. It's beautiful.

Happy Anniversary!

Tomorrow is mine and the hubby's 2nd wedding anniversary. I would post something tomorrow but I will be out of town at the coast, enjoying the rain and the surf. We are staying at the Hotel Elliott. It is our 3rd time there. We went when we got engaged, our first anniversary and now our second. I love it! We got the romance package. Oh yeah!

So, I thought it would be nice to show off some pictures. I love you OMP. You are everything in the world to me. You are my saint. Thank you for keeping me sane, loving me no matter what, giving me the best life anyone could possibly imagine. Don't worry, I'm not gonna go "Wind beneath my wings" on ya but you are my savior. I love you more and more each day.

Here is a picture of our cake. We had a Day of the Dead/Tiki wedding at the oldest Tiki bar in Portland. It was so much fun!


I love you with every breath of life I have Mark. Thank you for making me the happiest woman in the universe.

Just me rambling...

Life is finally settling back down after crazy work stuff, Halloween and putting the house back together. I got to spend Halloween with some awesome peeps. We went and saw Mark play then went on a graveyard tour. It was really cool! I'm so glad that I felt better and could go. Other than that-I've just been concentrating on making lots of stuff and gearing up for the holidays. I LOVE Christmas as much as I love Halloween so even though I know I have two months, I still get excited.

Things I am loving right now:
Mark
my puppers
My friends-Kelsey and Hillary have been keeping me sane. You guys are amazing!
Busby Berkley movies
Christmas crafting

This is why I can't have nice things.

We were decorating for the Halloween party and Lola and Juju decided that this piece was just not fit to put out! What little monsters. I want to get them a remote control. I bet it would last about 10 minutes. I love the way Juju looks up at me as if to say, "Don't worry mom, we got it under control!" I love my babies.

A special super shout out of thanks first to sewits4you for hooking me up with kittycrossbones from etsy. Both people are amazing. Kittycrossbones helped me with my business cards, buttons, matchbook notes and bookmarks. She is FAB! I love her so much. Thank you! Thank you!

Here are the buttons.




And part of the matchbook



I am so happy! They are so cute!

I want whimsies!

Well who doesn't....
Thank you cake wrecks! Now on to the real post


I am currently the organizer of the Whimsies swap on Craftster. I got both of my packages this weekend (that's what she said). Here are a few pictures. Thank you so much sugarysweet and crafty_dame! You guys rock my world!

October is....

For those of you who don't know-October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As many of you know, I work for a crisis line. Last month we took almost 2,400 calls. This is a scary number to me. All of the shelters in my area are full and have been for well over 9 months. I'm sure that my area is not just the only one that is getting swamped by calls and shelters being full. It's a disgusting trend that must stop. Domestic Violence affects us all. If you are in an abusive relationship or know someone who is, there are people out there that can help you break the cycle. Want to get involved? Check out and see what your local shelters and crisis line need. Demand from your lawmakers better and safer laws. We must make a commitment as a community, as human beings to stop violence.

Which leads me into another thing October is. It is Breast Cancer Awareness month. There are so many companies and organizations out there that are helping and yet there still is no cure. Please take time to get a breast exam. I know our partners/loved ones are more than willing to help out with this one! Again, demand from your lawmakers for better and free testing, for more research.

And finally-October 15th is Love Your Body day. We are so bombarded by the media telling us how we should look, what it is to be a "woman". News flash! We are not all size 8's and 6 feet tall! We are short, skinny, fat, tall, athletic. We come in all sizes, shapes, colors and yes! PERSONALITIES! One size does not fit all! Love your body!
