    Obligatory post about the Cuteness of my Niece. :-D Isn't she Adorable? (Even when she's contemplating reaching out for my camera...you can tell she has that look about her ;-). After all, what self-respecting Doting Aunt would refrain from posting a picture & blog post about how cute her niece is with a yet another picture (& blog post)?
    :-)

    Anyways, enjoy the pic. :)

    Happy Birthday to my YOUNGEST Brother Kyle! Can't believe he's already 25!! I can so remember when he was born (and I was sent over to a neighbor's house to spend the night! :)

    This picture was taken the day after Kyle's birthday (on the 31st) but its much easier for us to get together as a family on a Thursday night than a Wednesday night (Church program obligations & such :). As you can see from this slightly blurry phone camera pic, everyone, including my Grandma Doris & Aunt Jody, made it to dinner! (I'm the only one not shown as I'm taking the pic :). And centered with her back to the camera is little Chloe (16 months) who is smiling big to everyone else as they happen to be turned her direction for the camera (which is directly behind her - so adorable! :).

    Success! I KNEW I had this stashed away someplace. :) Now to get inspiration & figure out my 1920s dress for Saturday, 9 April. So glad I kept my Mock-Up from that class (not that it probably fits *exactly* the same way, but its a good reminder of what my new mock-up should look like, & how it was put together, etc. ;-). Yay for attending this class at Costume College ® in 2007 & getting this CD as my Class Handout for attending the Demo Class! :) Awesome stuff on this CD!

    This Exhibit was SO COOL! I'm SOOO Glad that Gretchen & I were able to make it up there (especially since it was a fairly last minute planned trip to boot!). We spent about 3.5 hrs at the museum (mostly cause of me taking pictures of EVERYTHING) on a Saturday (3/19/2011) before we had to leave...not cause the museum was kicking us out, but because I had to race back to Orange County to pick up my car (we had carpooled in Gretchen's car) so I could then race over to the Hensley's house and babysit their munkins (as they were heading out to the Social Daunce Irregular's Spring Victorian Ball that evening). Whew! I was a tad late, but at least I made it & they were able to take off fairly quickly after I arrived.

    Well, if you'd like to see the 1500 pics I took of this exhibit (I TOLD you I took a LOT of pics), you can find them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shutterbec/sets/72157626218879463/
    on my Flickr page.

    Enjoy!

    Enjoying a Guiness at the Pub (March 17 2007)

    4 years ago on this day (2007), I was in London with my Great Aunt Glennys as we visited for basically an extended weekend in honor of her birthday. (She's born on St. Patrick's Day). The day wouldn't be complete without stopping in the local pub for a pint, so here's a shot of me (trying not to laugh as Glennys took a pic) of me drinking my pint in the pub.

    Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ort!
