good things…

October 9, 2008

come in small packages….right?

or big ones too.

in the past 24 hours i have received super-fun happy mail.

first i got birthday goodies from chicago jen.

chocolate and coffee in a box…perfection.

i miss you jen….thank you.

then my neighbor girls rang my doorbell and gave me this!

hands down…the most perfect bracelet for me in the entire world.

they got it at cloverleaf in oklahoma.

i am DYING to go there.

thank you jenn & amy…i wish i could have come with you.

i won a drawing on carissa's blog.

she's the brown eyed fox.

(check out her cute etsy shop)

this hand is so cool.

and packaged so sweetly.

i just love it and can't wait to find the right spot for it.

and to write witty things on it.

("talk to the hand!")

thanks carissa.

and then my order from scrapbookpictures.com came!

i was on a happy mail high at this point.

the pictures are great.

great quality printing.

i got some 12 x12's, 6×9's and an 8×12.

and this time i tried something different…

i have a folder in my iPhoto for just colorful pictures.

i ordered the whole folder in 2" x 2" size.

tiny little squares of color.

happy squares.

i don't know what i am going to make….but i am excited about it.

the mail included country living and pottery barn too.

and princess lasertron…i found you in CL.

before i saw your blog.

i turned the page and said "that's megan!"

you lucky talented girl. how awesome are you?!

i guess now i have nothing to do today but sit and wait

on the front porch to see what phil the mailman will bring me today.

(do you think i could have put any more links in this post?)

Rachel - That bangel bracelet is perfection!
I always love your blog and your colorful posts!

lulusparkles - happy belated meg
thanx for showing your gifts….i
just went over and bought a chalkboard hand!
lov’n it!

Meg - Okay, this is totally off topic, but I love your blog! I have it bookmarked so I can stop by and be infused with your infectious creativity and enthusiasm!!
So, I clicked on your ‘recipe’ folder, and my Parental Controls wouldn’t let me open it up!! Huh? So I disabled the parental controls and do you know what the ‘offending recipe’ was: Cream Puff Squares??? Very weird… I think I have to make them to see what all the fuss is about!!
My computer man says this Parental Control is bullet proof, I say it is a little too restrictive it thinks Cream Puff Squares is taboo.. (unless there is another meaning for the word that I am not aware of!!! )
So Mexican Chicken and Cream Puff Squares for dinner tonight!
Thanks

jennifer - Happy late birthday! So glad you got goodies in the mail… nothing beats that!
Looooooooovvvvvvvveeeeee the 2×2 prints… I just gotta get me some of them!
Smiles,
Jen

Marla - The Cloverleaf in Aardmore, OK is very interesting, but make sure your pockets are padded with cash…a little pricey for someone on a budget.

Mod Girl - Your 2×2’s are most happy indeed! Love them. And that bracelet too.
Would you mind sharing what printing service you use? High quality prints are important to me and sadly, they are hard to come by.

Staci - WOW! What great stuff! I’m dying to know where Clover leaf is???? I live right here in OKLAHOMA and don’t know about this place???? Although, most of the time, I do live in the bloggin world 🙂 GREAT bracelet…I’d like one to say SERIOUSLY!

julie - That stack of photos is ridiculous!!!! Love the 2 x 2’s. Love your photography more….

Deb - Oh, I love love love love love love love love love those little tile photos.
How come I only got bills today?

carissa - THAT bracelet… how cool is that!
would LOVE to walk through Cloverleaf… what a gem!
how neat… those photo squares… thanks for the fab tip! great site!
i’ll have to check out Princess Lasertron in my CL!
coffee AND chocolate… SCORE!
i DO hope you love your hand… THANKS SO MUCH!

Lauren - Nothing is better than a good mail day! You’ve inspired me to order those 2×2 photos and do a creative project…what a great idea!

Liz - Wow! This was like Christmas in October! And any friend that sends York Peppermint Patties in the mail is a really really good friend. 🙂

Kameron - I love getting mail, not bills of course, but anything else! I used to look so forward to getting letters in the mail. People just don’t send hand written letters these days! You could use the 2x2s as gift tags, I think that would be cool!

PamperingBeki - Dang girl!! I’m jealous!!
I LOOOVE a good mail day. (that could explain why I buy so much online… Hmmmm….)
I saw Princess Lasertron in the CL magazine too! How cool!! Hopefully you’ll see me in there one day for my jewelry or we’ll see you in there some day for your home. 🙂

kara - When I was at Michael’s last night picking up a wedding invitation I had framed for a girlfriend. I saw a custom order someone had just dropped of. It was a big frame, and they were cutting a matt for it. It was filled with tiny 2×2 squares that students of a first grade class had each decorated.
This would be perfect for your color pictures. You could do monocromatic colors in one large frame, and they can cut a mat opening for each little square all wihtin the one large frame, if that made sense at all!!

traci - holy cow what a fun day. lots of great little packages. did you give the ups man a hug? can’t wait to see what you do with the 2×2’s. they are so cute.

Tracy - That, my dear is what I call an AWESOME mail day or just AWESOME day in general. Anytime you get all of those goodies and NO bills – is a GREAT mail day! I’m SO jealous! *lol* LOVE the 2×2 cards – great idea and can’t wait to see what you make with them. I know you will post, right?! :o) The hand is also very cute – never seen anything like that before and love the bracelet and of course, the chocolate and coffee is always perfect. Thanks for sharing! I hope the mailman is as good to you today as he was yesterday! :o) Have a great rest of the week and weekend, Meg!

much happier now.

October 8, 2008

thank you wendy.

this is just what i needed!

and it reminded me of a story….

at target at 8:55 on a saturday night

i enter the mini stabucks in the corner.

i am in my own world completely.

"Girl! That is a cute top!"

huh?

i look around to see who this sweet boy is talking to.

no one there.

just me.

he was talking to me!

i blush a little and smile and "well…thank you." nervous giggle.

then he says "what can i get ya?

Cause girl i am going to hook. you. up."

again blushing.

i order a tall cafe mocha.

he gets started and asks me "so what is going tonight for you?!"

i answer "oh you know..really exciting stuff

…target at 9:00 on a saturday night…woo-hoo!"

he told me where to go next time for sushi.

(no thanks)

then he hands me my drink.

"here you are sweetie. a venti mocha.

but i charged you for a tall.

and that's your hook up!"

wink.

seriously it made my night.

so what if he was girlier than me.

so what he was wearing eyeliner, mascara and more hair product than me.

he made me feel special.

and isn't that why we go to starbucks in the first place?

heh.

enjoy the clip that wendy sent.

i can soooo relate.

Amanda - I can’t believe I watched the whole thing, but it was actually pretty cute! She is a trained operatic singer…so it was kinda neat to hear this type of tune coming from her!
Many blessings-
Amanda

emily - This just had me rolling!
I could hear his voice, I could hear his voice!
When Jeff flew for the airlines last year, he had a flight attendant that was male but used a TON of hair product and “fluffed it” as he said. That made me roll too!

Cathie - Really you should warn people ……. this is how computers get hurt – currently coffee all over mine ….. so where is the latte boy when you need one!
Way too cute and happy belated birthday!

Ashley - Wow – great reenactment! I felt like I was there with you! And that clip was great! So funny!!!

Tracy - Meg, I just died out laughing at this while reading it (at work, I might add) – hee hee hee because I could just SEE this guy doing this and talking that way – I could picture the entire scenario in my head while you were describing it! *lol* Who couldn’t use a little “sweet talking” “hookup” once in a while! Way to go, girl! :o)

Emilie - Aww, you have your own latte boy 😉 Lucky you!

Amanda - So what did this fantastic top that started it all look like? I am ging to neeed one of those!
Amanda AZ

Lanny Stanard - Megan,come on over I have something to ask you? Lanny…

Rachel - Awww how great is that!!!

Kameron - Hi, I am relatively new to the blogging world and was having a blogging scavenger hunt of sorts by clicking from page to page to see what interested me. I came across your blog, don’t ask me how because I got lost in all of the clicking and have no idea. :o) I digress. I just wanted to tell you that I love your blog and how fabulously artsy you are. I have always wanted to be that way, but you can’t force creativity! I want to add you to the blogs I read (if you don’t mind). Have a great day!

Wendy - I’m glad you’re cheered up. Thanks for sharing about your “sweet” hook up. That is so cool! That is what Starbucks is all about. I’m just sayin’. . .

susan - Where’s the good sushi supposed to be? I want to get some on Saturday (I’m assuming this target was in the city to the south of you).

PamperingBeki - She is such a hoot!! I love her.
Target t 9:00 on a Saturday evening sounds like a great time to me!!

PamperingBeki - Hey, I just did a blog post the other day called Grumpy. 😉 Did you see my video?

I’d imagine some coffee and chocolate and sunshine will cheer you up. 🙂

Lanny Stanard - Howdy, come on over I have something I need to ask you?
Lanny

Wendy - Meg,
Your blog is so fun. We both love us some Starbucks and I thought this might cheer you up:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXS0nEOx_20
Have a good day! Ü

Sarah B - Oh how I miss Seinfeld…nothing since has even compared. Hoep your day gets cheerier!

regina - WOW! I feel the exact same way. Great Seinfeld. I think it may be a fat day….what…do I hear Baskin Robbins calling me?

Lorilee - More lovely photos. WOW, I grabbed a yellow toaster cart from the curb on trash day–just like the one in your craft room! It had been used in a storage shed and had some pretty yucky stains on it. I sanded it, and spray painted it black. It fits perfectly in between my washer and dryer in my laundry room!
Blessings,
Lorilee

long list

October 6, 2008

that's what i have today.

phone calls

cleaning

laundry

boring.

our friday was not boring.

we got to baby-sit.

her mommy went to texas with my friend amy.

(i hope they brought me back a 7 ft scrap metal chicken from the flea market.)

and then her daddy had the nerve to show up and take london home!

i told him over and over we'd keep her all weekend.

but they seem to like her and want to have her around.

we never get her for too long.

but it was fun for a while.

we sat around the fire after she had gone home.

sean cooked marshmallows for us.

i told him they were the best marshmallows i had ever had.

and i meant it.

they were melted all the way through but not burnt on any part.

he has rotisserie skills.

ok….back to my list.

carissa - baby cuddles… i wouldn’t want that precious angel to go either!
i have a scrap metal PIG! 🙂
you know i like my marshmallows BURNT… they ROCK! 🙂

traci - she’s getting so big. i bet you enjoyed every minute of it. the girls are probably great babysitters. hope you got lots done with your list. i crossed a few things off today – there’s always tomorrow.

Ashlie - What a cute baby! So glad y’all had fun with her! Hmmm…flea market…wish I had one to go to right now!!

Jenn Thomas - Metal chickens in Texas – only at First Mondays in Canton – yes we spent two days there again this weekend. They have it all. We missed having you Meg. Got some things to share with you. I can’t believe Russ did not take you up on keeping London longer. She looks liked she had fun with the kids. Hmmmmmmmmmmm he is leaving nx week maybe we need a date night before he goes. Smores………. the weather is perfect and if we smell a fire burning just might have to pop by the house.

Kelly - She’s adorable – how fun! And I am craving smores. I need to get to the store this afternoon and have some tonight. This has been going on too long! =)

Amy - What fun! Perfect marshmellows…yummy!!
by the way, your pictures are so full of color…what settings do you usually use on the camera…I have to know…mine seem to not punch out that much color.

Lorilee - Hey, I live in Texas,and I haven’t seen the giant metal chickens! I have 4 pet chickens! My husband hates it when I let them out of their pen to roam the yard for bugs!
Blessings,
Lorilee

Missy - I love the giant metal chickens! We live in Texas and I actually just saw some yesterday at First Monday in Canton. They even have little baby chicks! I would have a whole family in my yard if I could but my husband won’t go for it! 🙁

Jennifer - I have been looking through your blog all morning! I absolutely love you, your family, and your entire life (minus the laundry!) But you have inspired me a lot for whenever I have a house of my own (I’m stuck in an apartment at college). Anyway, thanks for the inspiration. I think Annie is my favorite!

Ashlie - What an adorable picture! And quote!

Gyspy Soul - from the mouths of babes!
what a proper picture and face for serious miss =) i love it!

What a sweetie!

Lanny Stanard - OMGosh, how cute is that! Thanks I needed that!
Lanny

Joni - No. Way. How stinkin’ cute is that? I may have to quote her on occasion.
smiles,
j

Amanda - Its my first time here… and I love your kitchen. That chandelier is beautious! I had to grin at your birthday day events. Sounds like you have a very lively and loving and spirited family. Lucky girl.

vicki - Hi there, I don’t honestly know or remember how I stumbled upon your blog, but goodness it is enjoyable. Just had to say hello, my name is Vicki, I felt something stir when reading your “special day” post. I have two kiddos and the parenting has not come easy this past week. I so long for the “correct” way to parent my kids. I would do whatever needed heart and soul. I feel like I am just out here winging it. Thanks for the honesty in your blog. Have a happy day, Vic

foreverfoldinglaundry - I. love. that. picture. SO CUTE!

Pam - LoVe! that picture is just too cute!!! xo

Carrie - That is just too cute. I am making your apple puff pancake for breakfast for my husband and me tomorrow morning. Can’t wait to try it!

Di - aha…didn’t make it til Christmas, did ya? The boys have been having fun with their pair. Matt is still debating about them – he informed me they were kinda silly and Jack’s are actually red. Annie pulls them off wonderfully!!!

PamperingBeki - I already posted a comment, but I came back to see that picture again. 🙂
I used to be a flight attendant and we had a pilot who would put on glasses like that to come out and say goodbye to all the passengers as they exited the plane. Hahaha!! It was the BEST thing ever to see people’s eye when they saw who had been flying!! 😉

traci - that is so precious. you should rent her out. people would pay big money for a couple hours of her adorableness and her humor.

crystal - that has got to be THE BEST picture yet that you have shared with us on your blog. I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

amy j. - That picture is awesome! She will love you for it someday. 🙂

Melanie - That is soooo sweet! I told you the other day that I could just eat her up! She is adorable.

Lee Ann - She is so stinkin’ cute! Love the quote and the pic. Hey, Jesus needs to eat too.

chris - Its so funny, what a ham.

Crystal - LOVE it! 🙂

Leah Schoonover - HAHA…thats awesome!

PamperingBeki - Bahahaha!!!!

Mod Girl - Oh my goodness, I laughed out loud! The photo is hilarious and the quote is precious.

Sandra - I was wondering too. How do they do all that without laughing. In fact, HOW DO THEY DO ALL THAT. PERIOD. It certainly doesn’t look rehearsed, so I assume it is just two crazy guys’ stream of thought. And it is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.

Ashley - That was so funny! I just big huge heart them!! Tanks for sharing that funniness!!

carissa - hey girly…
fyi
your name was drawn… you won a “handy”!

and WILL is the deal… one flipping funny guy!

PamperingBeki - Will Farrell = awesomeness.

Amy - Those are some of the funniest guys around. I love John C. Riley…great actor!!!

southernfriedgirl - how on earth do they do that and not laugh?
