Woo-Hoo Wednesday!

This Woo-Hoo Wednesday is dedicated to my oldest Nephew Christopher

Yes he is that big!!! I know I cannot believe 11 years ago today I was an Auntie for the first time!

Here he is with his Avatar character. We took him to dinner and on a tour of the book stores. Barnes and Noble and Borders. He got a load! Duke books and The Kingdom Keepers. He is starting the series and very excited. His Duke mag and book and Avatar went home with him but the Kingdom Keepers is here with his Harry Potter book! I am going to have to have a shelf just for him!

Happy Birthday!!!

I hope you have many many many more!

Love and Hugs, Aunt Lisa

Cupcakes

2 years ago for our Christmas party at work we had a gift exchange. You know you bring a gift and someone chooses and then next one can take yours and you get another. Well we didn’t do gag gifts and there were some really great prizes.

My first one was a cookie making book and accessories.

Someone took it!!!

Second I got this

and accessories to make cupcakes. This was WAY over our limit but it was one of the Dr.s and she had fun!

Sunday my mom HAD to go to AC Moore to get some flowers to finish a basket she is designing (really great pics to come!)

So I took her. Memphis my youngest nephew had to go. He is really good so he usually gets to go.

We walk in and they have redone the whole store so we wonder down the first row. They are decorating cupcakes!

We get a space and I say “Oh I have Hello Cupcake”

The guy there says oh great we have 2 of our new one left over there!

It was the Authors!

We made a flower cupcake and I got a signed copy of the new book!

Now I love both books, but if you don’t have either  of the the books, go with What’s New Cupcake. Much easier ideas and less intimidating. The flowers are super super easy and I am pretty sure there will be a batch here for mother’s day! There are also great ones for the Holidays!

Look for them!!

Hope you have a great week!!

Hugs, Lisa

The Ways “You’ve Got Mail” changed my Life!

I know you know I love You’ve Got Mail.

I just in the past few months have had a rediscovery of the movie and have been really surprised at how much of it has made me do or change things.

Nothing life altering, really superficial, but you know how when you get in your head you need to do something or get something and then later realize why you had the idea. Well that is what this is like!

1. Introduced my to Pride and Prejudice. I was an old fan of Sense and Sensibility but my interest was peaked and even though it was years later I read and watched the BBC version and well I’m HOOKED!

2. Starbucks. I was not a coffee fan until I went to Starbucks!!

3. Started a Love/Hate relationship with big chain bookstores. Avoided FOR years Barnes and Noble, BUT I gave in and I am now a card carrying member of B&N!!

4. Teaching me to use reusable shopping bags! The Shop around the corner had their own great bags!!

5. Made me want to get a Laptop not a desk top computer. I didn’t have one for about 2 years after I saw this movie. But I have only ever had a Laptop!

6. To want to live in a small but perfect space!

Kathleen’s place

Need I say more?

7. To write to people I don’t know online.

Blogging!!!

How great is blogging??? ♥♥♥

8. To be the Nicest person I can be!

Kathleen is the BEST!

By the way do you remember the Puppy Song from the opening credits? How could I not like this movie!

Now you know a little more about me and about how I am a different person from one really great little movie!

Hugs, Lisa

I Believe…

 

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."— Audrey Hepburn

I am Overwhelmed

Thank You!

I do so appreciate all the wonder thoughts and even the tears you have shared with me. I am a little better today. 

My baby cousin Chase who HAD Neuroblastoma, YES I mean HAD, is done with treatments. His last scans are clean! I am so overjoyed. 

In the same conversation I shared that my dog was gone and found out my aunt and uncle lost their Yellow Lab, Bud, this weekend too. 

I have to say as much as I loved my Casey and their sweet Bud, I will trade them for sweet Chase's health.
I really wanted to answer each of you individually but you are all so sweet I just feel a bit overwhelmed by the number of sweet comments so PLEASE know I cherish each and everyone of them!  ♥

I only worked half a day today, we were not busy at work and that was fine. I wanted to be busy but if I couldn't be I am glad I could be home. Off again tomorrow and I will be back to visit!

You all mean so much to me.

Thank you!

Hugs, Lisa

Goodbye my sweet baby

Casey 1996-2010

Good bye my baby.

My sweet girl.

You and I grew up together

You were the one who got me through trying to figure out who I wanted to be.

You were happy to be sent to Grandma’s when I couldn’t keep you with me.

And you were always right beside me in my lowest times to make me feel like there would be a tomorrow.

I will be a different person because of you and will never ever completely get over not having you.

I love you.

Momma

Here’s where I’ll be…

While I am off this weekend. I need the break. Back soon to visit all my sweet friends!

Hugs and Sweet Dreams, Lisa

Happy Day!

Just to sweet not to share!

Hugs, Lisa

The room on the front is Tony Shalhoub’s (of  Monk) Martha’s Vineyard home!

Hello

No I am not dead. I just have not been inspired since I don’t have Easter to post about anymore.

I have been reading this

It’s great!

I went to Barnes and Noble today and they are just the best place. I bought some books that are extensions of Jane Austen’s work. Some on sale Easter books, and a pretty new tote!

As Lent over I can shop. Wish my pocketbook knew that! hehehe

I am trying to visit around and see all my friends but the trees have leaves now and the flowers are beautiful so I have a allergy/sinus headache! I do love the out doors. Some rain could take the yellow smoke away though. I wish it would rain at night and beautiful all day!

I hope you are all having a great week getting back from Spring Break. It has been a very long time since I had one.

Went to my Grandmother’s 80th Birthday party on Sunday and didn’t take my camera! I will get family to send me pictures. I know the one of the WHOLE family is just great!

Hugs, Lisa

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone is  having a beautiful and Blessed Easter Day!

Hugs, Lisa
