Leave it to the Holidays!

Leave it to the holidays to get me entirely off schedule! I'm feeling awful that I haven't blogged recently, but just wanted to say that I hope each and every one of you are enjoying the holiday season with your loved ones! I reallllllllly love this time of year.

 I have yet to post pictures of my blue feather Christmas tree, the colorful lights decorating the trees outside, and lord knows I'm way behind on shop updates, but I'm hopeful and confident that January is going to kick my butt into organized, motivated, and not-so-crazy-busy mode. (Thank goodness January is right around the corner!)

Did any of you do "elf yourself" for family or friends?
My fam LOVED IT! :)  So sorry I'm a day late w/this, but if you want to make one for some special people in your life here's the link:  http://www.elfyourself.com/

There were only spaces for 5 people so I excluded myself, and sadly, I had to exclude my son, niece & nephew in this one, but I did end up making one just for them. Here's the other 5 people that make up my own crazy little clan; Dad, Mom, sis & my two brothers. ♥
I guarantee you're bound to get a few laughs out of your kin if you make them something silly like this. =)


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

My Most FAVORITE Boys

Just recently he asks,
"Mom, how do you impress a girl?"


"Aunt Jekka, look at the flowers I picked in Grappa's yawd."


"You've gotta talk to your tomaters, Jess."




My Dad's driveway sign, I love it. So very him to put up a sign like that.


I feel kinda guilty that I don't have pics of my two brothers and my boyfriend in this post, but I didn't have any current ones on hand. So there really are 3 more pictures that should be included. . .
Just thinkin' about the special guys in my life today and how grateful I am to have them. :)
Who are some of your favorite special guys?

Happy Birthday, Sis!

Today my baby sister celebrates her . . . twenty-something birthday. ;)
Thank God for this beautiful woman below (Mama) who gave birth to my sis 5 years after I was born, otherwise I would have just been stuck with 2 brothers!
Lucky to be named after my late Grandmother Dolores, my sis usually goes by the name "Loli" .

I remember the day you were born! I couldn't wait till Mom brought you home because you were like a new doll to me.
Birthday money burning a hole in your pocket for the latest cabbage patch kid!


Remember when you were a little girl and had a huge crush on THIS GUY? hahaha!!
Gotta admit, he is a handsome fella!

Cheers to many more, Loli Guacamole!!

Rocking our last fashion show, in a 1920's cloche hat by Lola Vintage.

XOXOXO

Remember listening to this song on REPEAT in high school at 9480?
Love these boys.


You've always loved this song, and everyone knows it, so I know I'm not
the only one who associates it with you!


Hood of the car, sometime in the 1990's at night time singing at the top of
our lungs!! Love it forever.
