Make Over - Updated

Well, it appears I am (the blog is) getting a make-over today. To what extent, I do not know.

The Evil Twin is in charge of this and will only say, "It'll be perfect. You'll love it."

While he's feeling all make-overy, perhaps I can sweet talk him into also designing that tattoo I've been waiting more than a year for. If it ever materializes, it will be my fourth and final tattoo.

Being married to a designer is interesting (he won't use the A word - artist - he claims it sounds pretentious). It's even more fun for the kids. On the odd occasion where Buddy has had to take a bag lunch to school, he doesn't go with just a brown sack. He gets a full cartoon on his lunch sacks.

I suppose the Evil Twin will have to brush up on his princess drawing skillz for the time Sissy gets in school.

If you ever go to the Joe's Crabshack at Barefoot Landing at Myrtle Beach - they have a framed piece of the Evil Twin's doodlings. While were there several years ago, he picked up the brown paper they leave out for people to draw on and did a full cartoon of our family (minus Sissy, at the time - she hadn't been materialized yet, but we WERE working on her back then LOL) and the amazingly bad luck we were having on the vacation.

He handed it to an employee while we were on our way out and they said it was so good, they were going to frame it and hang it up. We haven't been back since, but we need to go to see if it's still hanging around. :-)

Probably the greatest thing is that we have a full graphics shop in our house. Lots of fun pens, rulers of all types, t-squares and for a birthday gift last year, I bought him the full licensed Creative Suites 3 for his computer - don't google it for prices if you don't want to pass out. I actually found it someplace for about half the listing price.

Also, it's looking like Buddy has been genetically blessed to have some of the Evil Twin's talent. He certainly has a fine teacher!

Okay, I'll be back later. Looking a little different, so get ready....

I've got a new header! Cute, innit? Now, I just have to figure out how to do some other stuff to the old blog here and since I'm a dummy and don't know about codes and such, this is going to be a work in progress for at least the next 24 hours. Be patient as you think of me, over here pulling my hair out and downing Tylenols and Chardonnay... Come to think of it, I may not make much progress.

  2. I love it! Especially the lolly pop stuck to your apron.

    He made the rest of it VERY realistic! (Face wise, anyway. I have no idea whether you walk around with a feather duster and a soup spoon in your hands.)

    Fattie20xl - No, he didn't trace it, but he did use a photo as a guide (I'll post the one later - it wasn't my avatar!).

  16. I love it! Now he should make one of you wearing a cowboy hat sitting in a Texas style tub. Oh, and you would need to have a beard and just change the name to Silver Creek 78250... That would be a good one ;)

    Great new look. Fresh and crisp!

  20. Love it! It seems the perfect fit. And what a great asset, having an artist around the house can be. :-)
