Gorguss Me!

Just monkeying around with some ol' Honey pie DP (Cosmo Cricket) and a Gorguss girl IRAK (why are these so dang expensive to ship?). Lovey it with the sentiment (cut from the DP) across the bottom!

Positive note of the day: So I stalked T in the school yard yesterday while he unlocked his bike. What a pro! I then hopped back in the van (my GF Sandra was over and watched the girls so I could spy without interruption), took the back way home and parked the van in the garage awaiting his arrival. He was pedaling like a madman with the biggest grin on his face, waving away as he made it down the street. He was just so proud of himself (loves being independent) and talked a mile a minute once he got in the driveway. I was happy for him, and not at all surprised when he said "Can I do it Tuesday too?". I'll have to think on it...of course, we ain't got many sunny days left so I may just let him be the only first grader without a leash. The only problem? Any day where there isn't too much snow on the ground is going to find him pleading with me to take his bike to school!

Do you have the shakes going from BG to CC DP? This CC is some very pretty stuff...I am headed to the big city to buy a refrig and maybe some pretty DP like yours to make me feel better about the $ spent on the refrig! :(

Yea for T!!!
My 5yo starts Kindergarten on Wednesday, and he gets to go on the bus! Guess who's following the yellow sub??? ;)

Beautiful card! I agree, why are international rates so darn expensive? I'm hoping to get me some Gorjuss stamps for my b'day ;) You only get to be 3-5 once! hee, hee!

Enjoy your weekend :*)

This is exactly that "So Sweet" LOVE the colours & that stamp. CUTEness! And your story re: T on his bike. Priceless. I watched a documentary last week about how it's crucial for optimal brain development that kids have freedom & independence. Brava Ma!
