my little art pages

hello :)

i wanted to share a bit of paper love with you today. after losing track of time with all the celebrating last month i just seemed to take an unexpected blog break too :)

sigh. september was so much fun!

i made this page about turning 31 and jotted down some wishes and hopes for this new year... ( on the back of the page of course ;) I think i got flower happy with this one. Maybe even hippie?! lol. 31... you hold new dreams...hope, joy and good times. I love you already xo

and because i'm so bad at buying birthday cards and sending them... i thought i would get a head start and make this little special card with some of my scraps. This little guy will be for someone really special... and very handsome :) ( any guesses?)

which ironically leads me to this handsome fellow.

i don't know what i love more?

a) the glo worm

b) the playskool computer

c) the training pottie

d) cute bare baby feet

e) tiny bare legs

f) the fact that mr.handsome was the cutest little boy & all of the above

i just want to kiss him... so cute !

kept this page simple as i really wanted the main subject to be the mini polaroid picture of mr.handsome. i love that cute air balloon rubon.. and the stars. loads of fun to stitch. punch out 3 stars from your favorite paper. next mark the area with a small dot on your paper where you want the stars to end up. then start sewing/embroidery using the dot as a starting point and get crazy from there. lastly... glue stars on the 3 areas you marked with a dot. ( this covers the mark you made perfectly) ta-dah! you rocked it :)

and look... this is what he looks like 100 years later. potty trained and all :)

I'm trying to find a glo worm to add to my collection of toys i want for our imaginary children. you know. i'm crazy that way. but anyhoo... this is us at a padres game. i. my dear friends. will not lie. i was trying to pay attention. and failed miserably. the hot dog was good though :)

this is just a simple page about saying "i love you".

journaling:

you say it everyday

we mean it very much

i say it everyday

we still show it

you and me

- LOVE*

it feels very valentinesy but you know... we still keep track of how long we've been married. 1 year and 6 months on oct.24th. not that you need to know :) but happy almost anniversary mister! i think i also have fallen in love with my heart paper punch. it's a tie. xo

and lastly... my favorite food date ever. kogi

the best korean BBQ tacos ever! we tried the kogi dog, blackjack quesadilla, short rib taco, tofu taco and spicy pork taco. my favorite is the blackjack quesadilla. to DIE for! my tastebuds were overjoyed . we ended up stopping by on a visit up to LA. We tracked down the taco truck at a VW dealership. Ate in the car and completely loved it. now we're trying to make up excuses for a trip up again :) it's that good. I think mr.handsome said they were featured on the food network too. amazing.

and just as amazing? the best date ever.

mr.handsome.

he's right up there with the quesadilla and heart paper punch.

riiiight up a notch.

thanks for you patience with me :)

missed you and will come back to share my dottie angel goodness.

good times,

xo
