Art Journal Page - Flowers (with glitter glue)

I did these art journal pages a few weeks ago but haven't managed to post them yet.  They are bright and glittery, this was all about playing with color and the glitter glue.  Go play in your art journal!  It makes a girl happy.





Hugs,  Erin

Funny Friday - Oh to be 8 again!

Oh To Be 8 again!

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife,
who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off
he asked what she'd like to have for her birthday.

'I'd like to be eight again', she replied,
still looking in the mirror ..

On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early,
made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops,
and then took her to Adventure World theme park.
What a day!
He put her on every ride in the park;
the Death Slide,
the Wall of Fear,
the Screaming Roller Coaster,
everything there was.

Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park.
Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.
He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal
 with extra fries and a chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's.

What a fabulous adventure! 
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.

He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked,
'Well Dear, what was it like being eight again?

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed .

'I meant my dress size, you Retard!!!!'
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.
But we love them anyway! :-)

Enjoy your Friday and your weekend.  Now go hug your man, you love him despite his moments.  And he loves you despite your moments of woman crazy....
Hugs, Erin
