Mother's Day 2013

Happy Mother's Day! This year, my family has two new moms to celebrate. My cousin's wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in January and last month my sister adopted an adorable 4 year-old boy from Colombia. I would like to give a shout out to both as they celebrate their first of many Mother's Day!

Of course, I have my own mother to than you, too. She has been there for me my whole life and I am lucky to have her and am eternally grateful for her.

To all moms and grandmas out there, thank you and enjoy this day!

This Mother's Day card made with Fancy Pants Designs paper and embellished with Bazzill Basic Paper brads, Crystal Elements stickers, and American Craft Ribbon.

The tag (where a private message goes) is decorated with 3 kinds of washi tape.

Boobs schmoobs

October brings to mind many things: leaves changing color, Halloween, breast cancer awareness. But did you know that it is also National Sarcastic Awareness month? No, I didn't either because ladies' headlights keep stealing the spotlight. Football players don't wear pink shoes to show their support for sarcasm awareness; they wear it to show their support for healthy boobs. (Insert your own bra joke here.)

Well, I say that we need to rise up and let the public know just what sarcasm is all about! Did you know that sarcasm affects 100% of Americans? We all need to get our inner sarcastic voice checked by professionals once a year and self exams should be done every day to unsuspecting friends and coworkers. Should you find that your audience responds with a hurt expression because she thinks that you're sincere, seek immediate medical attention. Prolonging help will result in decreased levels of sarcasm and increased levels of genuine kindness. Don't let this happen to you or your loved ones. Spread the sarcastic word today!
