A few things…

I have been thinking long and hard (insert Michael Scott “that’s what she said” joke here) about my next tattoo and I finally figured it out. This is a still from a cartoon the Kangaroo Alliance did for a Yo Gabba Gabba song called “Be Nice to Animals.” If you havent seen it I highly suggest you check it out here: http://yogabbagabba.com/#/be-nice-to-animals. It makes me squeal with delight everytime I see it and I just adore all of the art and darling animals. I think I will start with the bear and little girl and I may end up with the whole menagerie when it is all said and done. Ps. Stella thinks it is an awesome idea as this is one of her “favorite songs”. Just ask her, she will tell you all about it.

And a few snaps from our mini vacation last month to the Lake of the Ozarks. We had a really fun and relaxing time at Big Bear Resorts http://www.bigbearresortfun.com/ and took full advantage of being one of the few guests in town the week before labor day. We pretty much had the entire resort to ourselves and Stella had tons of fun on the playground, chasing the resident kitty cats, and feeding the ducks all of our bread. Our first “official” family vacation. So for next year I am thinking possibly an Alaskan Cruise. I better start planning now or we will end up last minute at the lake again. Not that it’s a bad thing, of course. We would love to have more time to relax and unwind. Maybe we can do both?

Had a super fun and super successful weekend in Chicago for Renegade Craft Fair 2009! The weather was fantastic as was the company ( my sis, of course) and the turnout was just amazing. A big thank you to Roy and Shar for stopping by and fetching the PBR and an even bigger thank you to Daphne and Sarah B. for letting us crash at your lovely apartments and for being generally awesome. Daphne makes this incredible yogurt called Better Whey of Life which is probably available at your local Whole Foods. And she is such a sweetheart, you must check it out http://www.betterwheyoflife.com/.

Sadly I chained myself to my table inside my booth all weekend at Renegade so I wouldnt be tempted to spend tons of $ on all of the incredible wares and my photos reflect my self-imposed imprisonment. I only have a few shots of our booth. I didnt even manage to get pics of friends or any of the fun from German Fest on Friday night. I am lame when it comes to remembering my camera. In fact it didnt find its way out of my bag until Sunday afternoon. But theres always Strange Folk Festival coming up and I promise I will photo document the entire event. Pinky swear. ;)
