Make Your Own Valentine's Photo Card

We make this card every year for my husband.  I keep the signs in the back of my craft closet and try to remember in enough time to send them to grandparents as well.    The pictures above are from last year's card.  HERE is the finished card from 2009.  Can't show you this year's card yet - it would spoil the surprise :)

Handy New Cake

Can you guess?  HERE is my newest cake.  It's so fun to do little boy cakes.

Do You Remember?

It was another cold January day in South St. Paul, Minnesota. I was in sixth grade at Lincoln Elementary School. It was just after lunch when a friend and I were walking back to school after fulfilling our crossing guard duties for the departing morning Kindergarten students. A passing car stopped us and told us the news of the Challenger explosion and told us to run back to school to let them know. By the time we arrived the news had already spread. TVs were brought into our classrooms and we spent the afternoon watching footage over and over of the tragedy.

Do you remember where you were on January 28, 1986?

Dear Mister Golfer,

I hope you are enjoying the beautiful weather out there today. It seems that the wind has your swing a little off as your golf ball landed in my toddler’s bed this afternoon. This has happened so many times that I have the clean up down pat. Luckily for you, I learned golfers have no liability on damage like this otherwise I would be chasing you down the fairway like the first time it happened. Poor college kid. He got an earful from a crazy lady not knowing how to deal with glass all over her kid’s crib. Must be nice to cause as much damage as you want without a care in the world. 

I appreciate the reminder that I needed to dust the window sills but I could have done without the glass shards blown from one side of the room to the other. Did you know that I even found glass in the room adjacent to the baby’s room. How does that happen? Next time you are planning to play a round, give me a call and I will set up the video camera to see if we can figure it out. Your bad shot will go towards a little research on the projection route of glass shards.

I understand that it was my choice to live on the seventh fairway and I take the risk of windows breaking (shattered skylights, damaged cars, etc.). I was just hoping that the golfers would be of better quality. With all the windows we have been replacing maybe we could split the difference on some golf lessons instead. You probably can’t afford lessons after paying so much for those expensive Nike golf balls that always disappear (through someone’s window) when you hit them. Let me know and we’ll set something up.

Thanks again for the extra housework today! It’s nice you want to keep me on my toes.

Yours Truly,

The Crazy Lady with glass in her shoe
