SWEENEY TODD!

Well...I've seen SWEENEY TODD twice in as many nights and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! George and I went on Saturday night with Joanie, Janet, Jerry, and Mike...then I went again tonight with Suz and Rachel (Urchin).


I'm including some pics of my movie night with Suz and Urchin.

Ummmm, nice face Urchin...

NAUGHTY OR NICE?

Twitch must have been nice (in SOMEONE'S eyes) this year...because she received several gifts. Here are the play by play shots of her opening her gift from Joanie and Jerry...


And here are a couple shots of my grandpa's kitty (Charlie)...who is just as cute as can be (and black as coal).

A VERY JUICY CHRISTMAS!

Just wanted to post a quick note to say thank you to everyone for a very merry x-mas. A special thank you and big x-mas hug go to my sweet baboo (Goge) for my beautiful new JUICY COUTURE watch! I LOVE IT! What could be more 'ME' than a PINK JUICY WATCH with SKULL AND CROSSBONES and CROWN WINDER? It is SUCH a special watch that it came with it's very own little 'dresser'... I heard a rumor that a little joanie-bird nudged him in this direction...THANK YOU JOANIE!


Goge and I took a little road trip to California to visit my mother, stepfather, and grandfather. It was so good to see them and we had a really nice visit. LOVE YOU GUYS!
Again, thanks to everyone for such a wonderful holiday and so many lovely gifts. You are too kind, too generous, and very much appreciated!
xoxo,
amy

AMY OF THE MERFOLK

Woohooo! She's finally here! For anyone that doesn't know, my mega-artistic sister (Heather) makes and sells fairy figurines (you can check them out at http://www.notchroadfairies.com/). She sent us one as an x-mas gift and I liked it so much I asked if I could commission her to make a special 'mermaid' for George for x-mas. She graciously did so...and 'Amy of the Merfolk' arrived two nights ago. She's absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't wait, so I gave her to George last night. Wanted to post a few pics of the various stages of her construction.

Here, also, is a picture of another one of Heather's fairies. Again, GOR-GEOUS!

Heather, you are soooo talented...and I am sooooo proud of you. Thank you soooo much for allowing me to give George such a unique and special gift this x-mas.

xoxo, amy

Tis also the season for baking goodies...





And time to decorate the tree...start to finish!
