It's with a heavy heart that I write about the passing of one of our household companions. We had some fun in our too-short time together. 18:  Modern vacuuming Bye bye, Roomba. sniff sniff

Check it: Squeee! SQUEEEEE! The Sticky Pennies gals (including moi) have officially been accepted for the I.C.E. Atlanta show on June 7th at Centennial Olympic Park. Until then, I will be crafting my arse off. Stay tuned for more gocco prints, silly notecards, and felt Star Wars characters!

Wedding nightmare #1

April 22nd, 2008 § 2 comments § permalink

Well, I had my first nightmare about the wedding last night. It seemed that we apparently decided to get married near a natural springs park (Wekiva, maybe? I vividly remember the image of rednecks floating in tubes holding cans of Schlitz.) Most of the bridal party was there, including our immediate family. Then the person doing my hair & makeup came driving down the dirt path in a pickup with a trailer on the back. (Why a trailer? Did I need that much help getting ready?) I guess after a while, we realized that people weren't showing up. Then it suddenly hit me - I remembered that I never sent out the invitations. Doh! The rest of the dream kind of fizzled from there, but I think we were trying to get the park (?) place to reschedule the wedding when actual guests would show up. We were pretty argumentative, even howling at one point. Then I woke up and realized that I was actually trying to tell Molly to shut up since she was whining to go outside. Interesting start to the wedding dreams (I'm sure there are more to come). And the first thing I did today? Ordered the envelopes for our invitations, of course!

New ink

Yesterday, Duane and I headed over to Ink & Dagger Tattoo in Decatur to participate in their "Tribute to Tradition" event. Basically, it was a tattoo marathon of classic, traditional American tattoos. This was perfect because I wanted to get a tattoo similar to the vintage Sailor Jerry swallow design I used on the wedding save-the-dates and invitations. I got two swallows (symbolizing the mr. and me) on the back of my left shoulder. Russ Abbott did an incredible job, especially blending the colors. I love them! My new tattoos
