Thursday night I went to an Uppercase Living Holiday craft party with Tracy!  We had picked out what we were going to make ahead of time… It was so much fun!  Here are a few pics::

Yes, we’re dorks, but at least we have fun!

Tracy measuring… not the most fun part!

trying to get it perfect!

My finished product… we didn’t get a picture of Tracy’s…

Connie was such a gracious host… she had several other projects available that we could play with.  Tracy came up with this and I love it!  I can’t wait to start decorating for Christmas!

I even have a few gifts wrapped already :

I hope you’re having a great weekend!

This boy is SOO funny!

He LOVES me…. and I love him back…

Here’s a little sampling of the terms of endearment I’ve been called recently:

Mammasita, Sweet Potato, Princess, Scarlett, Honey (pronounced Hon-Eh), Darlin’

I’m really not sure where he picked these up from, Joey calls me princess and honey (pronounced Hon-EY).  I’m not complaining… I love it!

I just felt like I needed to have this down in a record book somewhere… I’m sure it will only last a few more years!

I’m one blessed mama (sita)! ha!

And wife…

*Joey had back surgery last Thursday… he is recovering well.  Thanks to all who have helped in ANY way!

I have my hands tied up in MANY FUNNN projects… so come back soon!

Hope you’re having a great week so far!

Last Thursday night I had plans to meet my sister in law, Amanda for dinner.  She was coming to town with a group of women from her church for the Women of Faith Conference.  About 7:45 it was time to head to the restaurant.  The restaurant just happened to be right across the street from where THE Pioneer Woman was signing her brand new cookbook!!

I decided to make a little stop in at the bookstore before heading across the street for dinner.  The signing was to be from 5:30-8:30.  By the time I got there it was almost 8… so I figured I might have a chance!  Oh, I was So, So wrong!  The line was absolutely amazingly long.  Crazy long.  I ended up running into Janell and Bailey who had been in line for 2 hours already and had moved about 30 feet.  They were so kind to let me hang out in line with them for a while.

After moving two feet in about 30 minutes I knew there was no way to meet Amanda and meet PW.  I found out that there WAS a way to have my book signed though!

I dropped my book off at the counter and then snapped some pictures of PW!  I only felt slightly like a stalker!

As I was leaving, I noticed a face I knew… Amy from Mom spark.  I’ve “known” her for a while, but we’ve never met in person!  I can’t believe we didn’t get a picture together… but Amy had a brilliant way to get a picture w/ PW woman!!

Here we are…  the PW & I…. well kind of !

I DID get to meet my sweet sister in law for dinner at Cheesecake Factory and man was it good!

It was a fun night and in the end I totally had the best of both worlds…
