Locks of Love
Today, Lucy and Mabel donated their hair to the Locks of Love program.
For years (yah - that long) I've been struggling with cutting the girls' hair. It's so so long.
When we met Mabel, she was nearly 3 and her hair was practically to her scalp... buzzed short short. It took a long time for her her hair to grow to even hold a barrette let alone a small pigtail.
I'm so proud of my munchkins.

VD Love
This beauty was proudly pinned to my bulletin board last week - a gift from Edward. I LOVE her! She has that classic look that I adore. Every VDay morning, my Eddietine slips a heart-shaped box of chocolates onto the front seat of my car or my studio chair. So, yeah... that pin-up is me! :-) (right) But seriously - ain't she cute?!?!
Miss March is hanging behind her, but I'll wait and show her to you later in the month.
Also donning the bulletin board:
* Random photos from our trip to Lake Huron in Michigan
* an old Vogue Picture Record given to me by an old friend
* My Land-O-Lakes peek-a-booby girl (yes - I like to cut & paste)
* a God's Eye made while crafting at Lake Huron.
* fraction-t0-decimal conversion chart
* various other tidbits
The bulletin board is an old standard one that I've had for years. Last month I spent 5 minutes wrapping it in some fabric to spruce it up. You can do anything with a stapler....

winter of hope
Like many, I was too young to experience the "summer of love." But I'm so glad to be a part of the "winter of hope."
The images above were sent out from the white house today (seen at cnn.com and huffingtonpost.com). When I first saw them, a good feeling came over me. I know that the word "good" seems vague - but it sums it up, really.
As part of President Obama's pledge to make his the most transparent and accountable administration in American history, his team relaunched the whitehouse.gov site yesterday at noon.
Some more Obama fun can be had at www.obamiconme.com. create your own propoganda inspired by the styling of Shepard Fairey.
hello
so yeah. it's been toooo long. thanks for the emails prompting me back to it.
The short of it: A pooch was added, holidays celebrated, a munchkin turned 9, and mama got blog-lazy. will catch up over the next month.... really.

BOO! 2008
Another spooky and fun halloween. It took us most of the afternoon to convince Mabel to go out. She was too frightened of Lucy's costume to do it. Once we put her in her ghost costume and she got her black lipstick on, she was good-to-go, though.
Once again - we had to work up separate costumes for school. Students were to dress up to show a career they wanted to pursue. Lucy picked a veterinarian. Lucky for me, her scrubs from last year's dentist costume still fit her... change out giant tooth with stuffed dog and...
Mabel still wants to be a princess when she grows up.
Hope your halloween was a good one!

I love this poster by Cody Hudson. Available HERE.
Graphic design and fine artist Cody Hudson is the latest artist to partner with Upper Playground (UP) to produce a Barack Obama print. The Chicago-based Hudson recently published a book with UP's FIFTY24SF Gallery books entitled "Save My Life", as well as exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago this past year.

Please note: prints will not ship until November 3, 2008. All proceeds from the sales of the poster will go directly to creating more campaign t-shirts, posters, and stickers by other artists in support of Obama's bid for President. Stay tuned for more Upper Playground projects in support of Barack Obama to be announced up until the election on November 4, 2008.
