Happy Birthday Tia!

SO as you may or may not know, today is Tia's 26th birthday, which officially makes her a cougar (she is 3 months older than me). And what you may not know about me from reading the blog, is that I am not so good in the gift department. For her 21st birthday, I got her a New Kids On The Block tshirt, Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" record, and a Goonies dance remix record. Things that I thought would be cool gifts. Oh and did I mention they were all wrapped together in the comics section of the newspaper? Not exactly the way to your new girlfriend's heart. Well I'm trying to get a little bit better after all these years so I'm writing a blog to say...

Happy Birthday Tia!!! Thanks for being awesome for 26 years!!!

(Yeah that is baby Tia taking a nap on a blanket...)



P.S. Remembering things correctly falls just below gifting on my list of things I am good at. The shirts and record were my first Christmas present to her. I gave her an ice cream maker for her 21st birthday. One that we used for the first time last summer...

Our May Sponsors

I can't believe its May already (my birthday is tomorrow, I'll be 26, really?). It feels like it was just last week when our Christmas tree was standing brightly in the corner of our dining room, and we were baking sugar cookies and dusting them with edible red and green glitter. Time, like always, is running past me, and I can't keep up.

I'd like to pause though, and take a few minutes to thank all of our wonderful sponsors for the month of May. These people are oh so important to me, for they allow me to sit here on my uncomfortable yet functional wooden chair (my dad built it and I just can't bring myself to trade it in for a cushioned one with wheels), and type until my fingers are numb and my head is clear. Our sponsors help me along with the motivation to keep taking pictures, to keep posting them, and to keep writing chapter long captions to surround the images. Our sponsors are mothers, crafters, friends- just like you are.
