many many days ago, a-not-so-little-anymore cool dude turned 9.
he celebrated his birthday for about a week. he was milking it for all it's worth. we took him to Olive Garden and the restaurant's crew led my Mr. Blade
sang for him and brought him cake that served about 7 of us on the table. then later on the same week, Grandma and Joe took him to the army surplus. grandma hates that place but it's Maikee's disneyland... so anything and wherever for her grandson, she would tolerate.
the theme was bugs. so i made him a dirt cake.
it was so good that i have a special order to make another one but i haven't gotten around to make it yet. been busy freelancing, you see. he had Angie from his karate class and a few boys from our neighborhood come over for a short party: by that i mean literally 2 hours. i guess the party went well that Maikee became a popular kid on our block.
one of the things i am privileged to do at work is i get to teach classes. i had an opportunity to do a sequel to the first crazy cards i taught. this time, it's so crazy we made cards out of match boxes. like this one:
so i guess you could say it's not really your good old plain Jane cards. what i really love about teaching these classes, is that i get to meet new friends who share the same passion of art with me. i thought we laughed all night more than we made cards. i was quick to think to snap a couple of photos. karen and Jen
came to the first one so maybe these guys must think i'm ain't too bad of a teacher since they came for the second time around. it always gives me a cozy feeling to see familiar faces and i was tickled happy to see fresh faces during the class. shannon, Dawnalyn and Suzie
were pretty hilarious. although the two came a little late (they were literally running to the door), we still managed to create all the cards.
with that tickled me pink-happy note> if you leave me a comment here, Gabby will randomly draw a name then, whoever is the lucky one, gets to have 5 uber cuteness crazy match box cards, created by yours truly... including the one pictured above.

Dear Lovely.
I do believe that you need to put up the pictures that you took of the B. Frank staff. Seeing as how I don't work there anymore (Grrr...), I don't have the privelage of seeing anyone that I liked. Or send them to me if you can. :)
I miss seeing you.
Love always.
I found link to your blog at Yuko's.
Love your photos! I am going to visit your gallery at
Two peas now. Hope you had a fabulous NSD!
So Maikee has reached the big 9, it just goes by so fast. I wish I could freeze my kids at the age they're at and make them stay my little girls forever.
The match boxes make such a clever card, who would have thunk?
It was grand seeing you today Lovely at the Sisters store! See, I immediately went home and looked up your blog. Love the picture of Maikee holding the candle ~ the blur and sharp contrast. How do you do that?
I wish I were there for the matchbox cards! I've been missing everything lately. Need to stay in town more. Perhaps in the winter ....
The matchbox class was great. My stomach hurt by the end of the night we laughed so hard. I tried using the big matchbox and it works great. I live in Colstrip but will drive to any of the classes you teach. You were a great teacher and the drive was worth it!!! Shannon
