Happy Mother's Day


Happy Mother's Day all! To celebrate, I am putting all patterned paper kits 20% off at the store! And not only that, with every order I am throwing in a delectable little bottle of stickles! Stickles are one of the hottest embellishments right now, so why not try some for free!

I hope you come on over and celebrate Mother's Day with some new supplies!

I'm a lily

You Are A Lily

You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist.
People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you.
You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words.
Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize.

I have "mom's" diease

I have an overwhelming need when I make food to make way to much! It's like my true calling was to be a cook in the army or something!! I always have leftovers. Every party, every event, every holiday. I overdo it and I can't stop!

This is what I managed to "whip up" in 2 days for Jacob's kindergarten bake sale tomorrow at the spring carnival. 50 pks of chocolate covered graham crackers (that's 100, folks) and 40 pks of chocolate covered oreo pops (80). I also decorated them, packaged them and will hand deliver them on a silver platter no less, just kidding (on the silver platter part that is). the packaging took a day alone. I need to chill I think. Because I'm sure my goodies will sit on the table while the chocolate chip cookies from Safeway that someone threw in a ziploc will sell before mine, it never fails!





Also...notice the bottles of wine in the background of the first picture?? I hit the old BevMo buy one get one for a nickel sale the other day. This is what treats "mom's disease".

I belong in 1985

You Belong in 1985



1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

Interview Me

Here's a challenge post I picked up from Barb-n-PA on SBA.

1. Do you have any books signed by the author? Why did you decide on these authors to sign their books? Yes...I saw David Sedaris last fall and was such a huge fan that i decided to lug my books along. As luck would have it I ended up being the last person in line to get my insrciptions. He talked to me for a few minutes too!

2. If you could go back in time with someone in history, Who would it be and why? I wouldn't. I'm happy here with all my modern amenities, medical advancements and equal rights!

3. Did you study any courses in photography? Yes, I took 2 college courses, but that was before digital cameras were even around.

4. If you could pick somewhere to live if money were no object, Where would you live and why? The Malibu coast...have you been there? That's why! Amazing!

5. What was an important moment in your life that if you wouldn't have done it, it could have changed the course of your life? Probably my "Thelma and Louise" trip to the Grand Canyon with my cousin. I was 23 and she was 19. We just got in our car with our map and we would drive for 6-7 hours a day and then stay in the fun places. We were gone for about 10 days. I have never laughed so hard, or been so mad, or been so amazed, or been so scared or so stupid or so fearless as I was in doing that. I met my husband 1 month after that trip and I feel like that was kind of my "breaking out of my shell" odyssey.

6. What is your all time favorite website to visit? Well, this is my daily list, CNN.com, WellsFargo.com, PerezHilton.com, Scrapjazz, Scrapbook addict, and of course my very own NoelMignon.com!

7. What do you consider to be your best and worst character trait? My best is something I thought I never had. I can listen and really "get" what people are saying. At least I think I can. My worst is that I tend to "hermit" myself. Not go out for days.

8. What was one of the most embarrassing moments in your life? Let's see.....I remember once I farted by accident in class because I was laughing so hard, that was embarrassing!

9. What was the best advice your parents ever gave you? Hmm.....I'll have to get back to you on that one.

10. If someone was to make a movie about you, Who would play you? Tell us why? Is it their looks, personality? What? My husband says Kate Winslet. I have also been told by old men that i look like Doris Day (my mom always got that too!).

Feel free to copy and paste!

Ghosts


Jacob and Nick decided it would be fun to scare everyone in the house this morning so they stripped the pillowcases off their beds and put them on. I hear "ooh.....booo...oooh" and then giggles. After they "scared" me Nick said "come on, let's go scare more people". Whatever keeps them busy!
