Pictures as promised! What a CUTE bunch of Boys!


Here's Mom! with her new glasses!

New Tiki Kitty loves her new family!

Syver with his dino that Aunt Susie and Uncle Mike got him for Christmas! Yes, we had an early Christmas! Those kinds of presents are the BEST!

Noble with his rocket! That poor rocket had an interesting trip, it did not deploy its chute or pop off the nose cone. So it went straight up and then curved a little and came straight back down. It ended up like a lawn dart about 15 feed from the launch pad!

Ethan eating black beans and rice. Grandma is pushing the spoon! YUM!

My Glasses!

While in Salt Lake, I took mom to Lense Crafters to get her new glasses in about an hour.

While there, I ran into about 5 people who went gaga over MY glasses that I bought at The Eye Center of Parkville. I'm sure they can help you get the frames long distance through the mail, if and I'm sure they can look up my model numbers from my file... just let them know my name.

My Eye Glasses are from ProDesign Of Denmark. My Sunglasses (red with swarovskis) are from LaFont.

One Awesome Weekend!

I flew to Salt Lake City on Friday to surprise my mom for her 60th birthday! My Aunt Susie from Denver drove over with her granddaughter so my mom was completely swarmed with surprises!

We had an absolute blast! My bro picked me up at the airport and we immediately went to the new yucky Cheesecake factory in Salt Lake. Mom and Dad arrived in their van and I jumped out in front of them in the parking lot. You should have seen my mom's face! She put her hand on her chest and said...."that's katie!" She looked like she was going to faint- it was awesome!

I will post some pictures later! I got a great party favor from my nephew, Syver... THE STOMACH FLU! I was down for 24 hours! Still not feeling perfect, but I will post pics soon.

A Cute Poem...

Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rarely ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect in it's weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.



Thank you to my bro for the funny poem.

Meet a Self-Proclaimed "Paper Craft" Addict!




Katie is the owner of My Heart to Yours on Etsy (http://myheart2yours.etsy.com), a shop with a menagerie of paper craft works of art.

Paper Crafts have been Katie Lyn Sherry's obsession for as long as she can remember. Even her Dad reminisced that she made puppets out of paper bags since she was three years old! This was mentioned after she made them a paper bag album about a year ago. How sweet!

She specializes in altered projects ~ trying to find new ways to use ordinary items. Her favorites are RETRO HUMOR which she uses for checkbook covers as well as for the many, many cards displayed and for sale in her shop. She has a mountain full of specialty tags as well, constantly coming up with new creations and ideas for new projects.

Her secret life? She is a professional tutor, teaching all levels of Math from Pre Algebra through college level Calculus or Differential Equations. Who'd have thought? I think her paper crafts are a stress reliever for her 'other life'!

In any Art medium, we tend to spend more than we make, but as with most of us, it's an obsession to continue creating and you can't do that unless you have the 'just right' materials, now can you? Katie admits that she fits into that category.

Katie's advice to other paper crafters is to be original, list several different craft items and then when you start to see trends in your sales, jump in with both feet and start producing more of that top selling item. She also promotes through Etsy and her blog, http://Katiepaper.blogspot.com.

How did Katie come up with the name for her shop? To quote her "There is no way that I could be fully compensated for the cost of supplies and labor to make my items. I have always considered my art to be a work of the heart, my gift to you. So I call my shop, My Heart to Yours."

Katie loves what she does and so do we! Don't forget to visit her shop with her vast array of talent displayed on several pages. Again, her URL is http://myheart2yours.etsy.com.
