~Last Week Of School~

Good morning!

Seriously could the last week of school be any more hectic?? I mean

we are MID baseball season plus the last week of school and I am swamped! LOL

I keep wanting to sit down and craft but it escapes me!!

So I thought I would share a few photos from my week instead! :) 

Yesterday we planted my garden- yes it is late but the man

at the garden center said everyone's is because it has been horrible weather. 

So I am happy it's in! :) 

Saturday night I got all gussied up for the theater...

Me and 4 of the best gals I know went to see SPANK!

 If you don't mind humor- crude...it was pretty much the best thing I have  ever

seen in my entire life! Plus these gals made it so much fun! 

I LOVE this and them. Next to meeting Jenny Lawson this was the best.

 Bounce back to last-night when my boy graduated 5th grade with TOP HONORS!

I mean he blew my mind! He won medals and awards in so many things

LOVE this kid so much-

 Skip back to Sunday and we had a wonderful birthday party for our

dear friends the Close Family- OMG it was the best time I have had in ages!

We all played (except me the shutterbug) seriously the best. 

Oh and Monday I went to take photos of the Dragons Team! 

I am loving taking sports photos.

I mean you can see why crafting has not happened- it has been 

one hell of a week in the Hobbs home- Pictures over 2500!

Activities and games- love me some May!

Have a beautiful day- I am off to my son's field trip- good times!!!!! :) 

~Best Day/Trip EVAH! W/ Jenny Lawson!~

Good morning my friends, 

What a day I had yesterday! No crafts today (ok a couple crafts LOL)

just photos and stories of our trip.

So if you haven't heard about Jenny Lawson- well I am sorry...because she

is pretty freakin incredible! My friend April introduced me to her book a

few months ago and she really is the most down to earth novelist I have read. 

Since it is April's birthday this month, our little "tribe" decided to plan

a HUGE surprise trip to Kentucky for April- who hates surprises. 

It took alot of work but we managed to get everyone's children taken care of, 

people took time off work, friends all lent  a hand. It was perfect!

This is Jenny Lawson-

We arrive at the apt. before hand and set up the signs. 

Yes that's a set of signs created with my sweet Cameo~ :) 

April pulls up - totally knew about our evil plans (party pooper). 

I should have known by the hair toss! LOL

 She walks over very cocky and hands me a note- that says

"let's do this bitches!" LOL Oh well...surprise not so much but still

Jenny Lawson!!

 This is the "ENOUGH photos" face LOL

We got on the road and survived a dinosaur attack! He tried to hop in the

van to go see Jenny but he couldn't reach the handles...haha

 Edward the T-Rex- maybe next time!

 Then we LITERALLY survived tornadic weather on the way- 

I am SO NOT KIDDING a tornado hit our neighborhood area while we were gone- 

not fun but everyone is safe. Umm...you are welcome Jenny! I mean

we are pretty much the best people ever for making it 5 hours in this mess! :) 

 I created cards for the birthday girl...yes it's Juanita - Jenny's passion. 

AND the best cake ever!! It was supposed to be a Pig In A Barrel cake

but no one knew how to make pigs- so we went with penises...it happens. 

It's the best we could do and much appreciated! LOL

 Here we are waiting 2 more hours for Jenny to arrive! :) 

Don;t worry she was worth it! :) 

Waiting for Jenny ....Gal Pals.

Our Jenny Buttons- love them!

The pink hair gone wrong...just sayin' not being mean but I mean seriously...

Now what? Aper's Say what face.

and the grand finale- my book signed!

To Cuddles: BEST NAME EVER! 

I did not ask for that, she just did it. Oh did I mention my nickname

in my tribe is Cuddles? Close friends call me that. I find it fun. 

And our tribe photo! Love it...You see how Jenny is extremely uncomfortable 

with my breast rubbing on her arm? You're totally welcome Jenny! 

Didn't apologize for that 23 times...(totally did). 

EVERYONE was happy TIME FOR CAKE! :) 

 So it was the best day EVER!

Trip successfully executed, Jenny Lawson successfully stalked, and thanked. 

Jenny tweeted and adored...Thanks Jenny! 

YOU were totally worth the wait and trip! And happy Birthday April!

Jenny said something in her talk yesterday she said 

that you might feel awkward and alone but eventually you will find your TRIBE.

I love that so much I almost cried. I mean I feel like I have found my tribe. 

It's true. It was the perfect analogy and she is just amazing. 

Oh totally check out Jenny-

Do yourself a huge favor~ :) 

~Stress- HUMOR- Card & First Copic Experience~

Good morning my crafty-licious friends!! :) 

I have a fun little card today. I am so excited to be working with 

VLVS company and they have some awesomely humorous stamps- not

for the faint of heart thats for sure. And let's face it, I am not faint of heart! LOL

How fun is this stamp- "I'm one day away from being on the rooftop with a rifle"

OMG that is so my week LOL 

I thought I would make it into a "How are you doing?" card. 

And how much fun are these "Vice Mice"? OH I LOVE THEM!

Oh and this is my first Copic (PUBLIC) coloring experience 

(shhh don't tell anyone) LOL

I have played alot with Copics but I rarely share those LOL

But I had to because I mean hello...these mice, they needed attention. 

If you know Jenny Lawson at all (The Bloggess) then you totally get the 

Vice Mice, and if not then they are just hysterical anyways! LOL

I think they go hand in hand-

Anyways HAPPY MONDAY My friends! 

I LOVE YA~
