How fortunate am I?

I feel more special than I think I deserve. I was given birthday presents and they are awesome. Kelly shares my love of writing utensils. We have gone back and forth finding each other silly pens and such. She went a bit beyond this time and I now have this gorgeous pen. It comes with papers....It's a pen with a pedigree. I love it. The next item is from Jennifer and Jessica. The fact that they got together on this one is so special. Jennifer is the tag genius. She has tags for everything she makes and they are perfect. I have always wanted tags. I have tried to make tags. I have looked at ordering tags. I found it all a bit overwhelming. I wanted someone to do it for me. Now they have. Jessica came up with my logo. She new exactly what I wanted and I didn't even tell her. Jennifer knew what I wanted to say and did the ordering. Just so you know, these are not printed tags, these are embroidered tags. I'm gonna put tags on everything!

Just a few of my hats with their new tags. I like them so much I made it so they show. If you don't like it this way don't tell me because I don't care.
Thanks you guys.


Forgotten picture

This is for Jessica. I forgot about him until this morning when I was trying to take pictures and my battery went dead. He was on my dear husband's camera. We were on our last trip to the Xmas market when we spotted him. He sings. This is try number two for Jennifer. I made the last one too big. Keep your fingers crossed.
I was trying to count how many hats I have made this year and it scared me, so I stopped.

Ubers 365th day before 30

That's right Ubers getting old!! His birthday was on Saturday and it was all about him!
His favorite breakfast is Breakfast burritos we used to get them from a Mexican bakery around the corner from our apartment in SoCal. Since that is a little too far away now he makes his own version. Which are almost as good... if I could just get him to make his tortillas from scratch! Its cheddar cheese, spicy sausage, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and salsa. They are SOOOOOO good... and SOOOO bad for you!

Uber opened his secret present which he was thrilled with. He also got a new golf bag and driver. And no it isn't cold here he just feels the need to wear the hat when ever he is in the house... don't ask.
Then we headed out for some putt putt and arcade games

I'm not really great at this BUT I did get a hole in one and he didn't... Whoot! However the hole in is one of the few times I got the ball in the hole... because you know if I dont make it in two tries then I start goofing off...

Then went out to Ruth Chris for dinner and stuffed ourselves... YUM! This is the view we had at the restraunt.

Uber wasted no time getting his board up and working. And we have had no problems losing quite a few hours this weekend playing with it. Who knew throwing small sharp objects could be so addicitive.
Here are my kitchen drawers. They seriously mess with my groove. Especially since Uber never puts anything in the same place.

I finally went to Bed Bath and Beyond and came up with a solution. It's not perfect but it definately makes me happier.

We'll just have to see how Uber proof they are.

So for all of you who haven't seen Grammy's new kitchen all finished here are some shots! I hope she doesn't mind. First of all it turned out GREAT! She has fabulous taste!

The back splash... I love this tile I plan on having some of it my own house some day... it is SSSOOOO pretty!

That oven is sooo fun by the way! And as Papa and Uber found out it is fluent in French... now if they just knew french....
