~* Artistic Mother *~

I am an Artistic Mother! I have been doing Art as long as I can remember. I have incorporated doing Art in the upbringing of my daughter and it has come in handy for those last minute projects that our kids conveniently forget to tell us about. Over on "An Artful Life" Shona is giving away her book "the Artistic Mother"! I would really love to win this book!

Here is what North Light Craft Books has to say, "Get inspired and get creating! Trudy Callan is organizing a group to go together through the 12-week art course in Shona Cole's new book The Artistic Mother. Check out her blog and join in the fun for encouragement and camaraderie as Shona guides you through making art an important part of your busy life."

I am joining the group!

~* Still Hangin *~

It was so fun taking the Magic Carpet ride for the OWOH Blog event. This year’s event had 1,088 live links from 40 different countries…..isn’t that AMAZING??? I got to visit some FABULOUS Blogs and look forward to going back over the list and visiting more. I do appreciate all the Travelers that came to visit and left a comment.

~* Happy Valentine's Day *~

Here is a picture of the Cards I made for a Swap. I hope everyone enjoyed them. Today my daughter woke me with Coffee and pancakes! Since I was barely awake, I didn't get to snap a picture. But TRUST ME, they looked and tasted soooo YUMMY!! Thank you Tay Tay! I got her a Starbucks card and know it will be gone before the month is over!

She has a boyfriend now and he came over for a bit. He brought her these lovely gifts: a "Happy Valentine's Day balloon, one Red Rose, a box of Conversation hearts and a container of Hershey's Kisses with another small balloon on top. So sweet!



After they spend a few hours here. We went to Michael's to get them matching shirts for the Sadie Hawkins dance next week. The theme is Beauty and the Geek! Taylor asked him by giving him some Nerdy Glasses! Aren't they cute?


After she went to his house for dinner, so I was by myself. No heart shaped Pizza this year. I decided to show myself some love and go out for SUSHI at Sakura Japanese Cuisine in San Ramon!! My fav!





Here is the Dragon Roll that I had them put Sake Salmon instead of Unagi on it. So Delish!







Here is the Valentino Roll with Sake Salmon, Avocado and Tuna on Top. Yum Yum!


I was so full when I left, but I was happy! It was a great day!
