Raggedy Old Annies

My famous friend!!!!!!

Can you believe it? First Missy was on TV....now her daughter Daisy made the cover of a magazine!!!! Isn't that just the cutest picture??? Both of Missy's daughters are just beautiful!!! And all 3 of them are featured inside the magazine so if you are in Sacramento...MAKE SURE TO PICK UP your copy!

It all started when Missy and her friend Tammy had a photo shoot a few weeks back with Alexandra Frankel.  The photo shoot for for "Crafty Mamma's in the Sacramento Craft Mafia". Click HERE to visit the Sac Craft Mafia Blog. Missy told me all about the Alexandra Frankel and shared her blog with me...and since then I check out her blog on a daily basis (being the wanna be photographer that I am).  I LOVE her work! I would love to spend a day with her!!!

Time Flies when you're having fun.....

And now Missy has flown away....boo hoo!!!! But I have lots of pictures to show you!!! This could be a long post...just warning you ahead of time! We had so much fun!!! Shopping...and shopping...and well....shopping!

Here is Missy just off the plane!

C and I were waiting.....and waiting....I was so excited to finally see her coming down the escalater. When I spotted her...I started screaming..."there she is!!!!".  And look how excited she was too!!!

So after we picked up her luggage...we went shopping. Poor C! He was a trooper though. Then we rushed home....because I had made plans for us to meet up with my local girlfriends for dinner! Since I'm always talking about Missy to them....and then always talking about them to Missy...I thought it would be fun for them to meet up! We had a blast! We didn't stay out too late...as we wanted to get up really early and head out and do more shopping....LOL...I took her to Rosie's since I'm always talking about it....and we spent money there....then we had signed up for one of Candice Carpenter's classes to make a "Easter Banner", so we made our way over to Ever After Scrapbooks to shop a little before the class started. What an awesome store that was. Biggest scrapbook store I've ever been in! We spent more money there.......and then finally it was time for the class....and finally we get to meet Candice!!!!! OMG...what a sweet gal she is!!!!

We had so much fun making the banners...and they turned out so cute! I decided to spell out my name so I could hang it in my sewing room.

Missy spelled out "girls" so she could hang it in her girls room! too cute!

Isn't Missy so darn stinkin cute!!!! LOVE those glasses!!! We took turns wearing them.....and on Sunday....it was my turn to get pictures with them! They said I wasn't smiling enough....so I'll share my cheesy smile too! LOL

okay..back to normal life now! We've been out of school for a week.....and the "sleeping in" was nice...but it's over now...and back to getting up early. YUCK! I stay up way too late to get up early! and Missy...I already MISSY YOU! I'm off to bed now....maybe I'll watch a little bit of my recorded "Big Brother" before I head off to bed. Night Night!

Happy Birthday to my BFF!

So I fell asleep Wednesday night...sitting in my comfy chair stuffing dolls.....the cat jumped off my lap and it woke me up and I decided to pick my lazy self up and go to bed. But I had to turn the computer off first....so I figured since I was up and in here I would check my email. Then I realized that it was like 2 minutes until Missy's actual Birthday!!!!! So I had to stay up just so I could blog about it! Why I wanted to hurry up and blog about you ask??? Well because EVERY year we've had fun by posting a funny pic of each other on our birthdays....and it started way before blogs came around. Missy started it! She was nice to me this past year....and I'll be nice to her NOW after I took the FUNNY picture off that I had to remove because I didn't want C to get upset! If you didn't get a chance to see it...I'm sorry.... but this one is one of my favorites....isn't she soooooooo cute!!!!!!

   

So there you have it!!! Happy Birthday Missy!!!!!! Wish I were there to eat some cake with you!!!!! But you'll be here soon enough and we'll have cake then! Missy ya and LOVE YA!

"alot".....or "a lot"?

This was a lovely conversation I had with Missy tonight.......I thought you might find it humorous! Keep in mind...that I was just rambling...and not all things I said about myself are true..just trying to be funny and quick back at her.....but funny...I was doing most of the typing....I think I was annoying her!  Alot........!!!! LOLOL This all started because we were talking about a "wonderful gal in blogland". I'm not gonna tell you who....you can use your imagination!

MissyBallance: you are funny... a lot

the end.........but.....let me tell you about the phone idea!!!! She was wishing we lived closer so we could have walkie talkies to chat late at night without ringing and waking up the family. So I said....."why don't they have home phones that vibrate like cell phones do?". Or do they? I've seen some pretty spiffy phones but I've never looked at the details! So wouldn't that be cool?

Cake for everyone!!!

Yup!!!! I'm sharing cake!!! Which is rare for me...because I LOVE cake and am a "cake hog". The reason we had cake tonight is because it was hubbies 40th birthday! Woo Hoo big 40! I bbq'd filets...big fat baked potatoes loaded with butter and sour cream and then baked beans. Oh and a salad too. Yummy!

Also.....more celebration.....my best friend Missy won the Softies Award!!!!! This is the bear that won! What a cutie!!! I voted for her...did you?
