Dear Someone

Dear Cousin Cowboy,

I just wanted to let you know what your friendship has come to mean to me.

Also I wanted to say sorry for all the times your older brothers and I tried to ditch you when we were growing up and I would come up for family reunions. But, well, c'mon...you ARE 4-5 years younger than us, and back then that was A LOT! We were these cool teenagers, and you were this annoying little kid (in our minds). So anyways...sorry for being a jerk back then.

But seriously, as adults, you have become one of my best friends. Thanks for the kind words when I am hurting, the putting me in my place when I am whining, the political arguments, the smiles and the laughs. Your testimony uplifts me, your "tough guy" act doesn't fool me, and your country-boy heart endears you to me. Truly you have become one of my favorite people ever!

I can't wait until April when we all get to come up and visit you in good ole Idaho! Cowgirl is TOTALLY looking forward to getting some riding lessons from you! And please don't try to get back at me by ditching ME...because remember you promised to take me shooting? K...thanks!

Love your guts!
Xazmin - your City Girl cousin.



Dear New Kids,

Seriously? You wait until I purchase my Daughtry tickets to announce you are going on a tour again, and that the one and only Western city you will be visiting is VEGAS? You know, the city where I was supposed to see you this past summer but then my world came crashing down and I had to SELL my tickets to some chick who then sent me pictures of how up close and personal she was able to get with MY tickets?

Now what the heck am I supposed to do? I can't really justify (or afford!) going to the Daughtry show, then 2 weeks later taking a road trip to Vegas to see you guys. Why didn't you tell me SOONER?

Heartbroken (still) and missing you,
Joey's girl.





Dear Belly Fat,

Just die already. I loath you beyond description and can't stand looking at you.

Sincerely,
Your Mortal Enemy

For more letters or to link up a letter of your own head on over and visit the always hilarious Shortmama!

I decided that I should probably make some sort of an effort at being a wife and mother today, so I may not be by to visit until later tonight...but I WILL be by!

Last, but absolutely NOT least! Don't forget that Mod Podge Mania is coming up in just a couple of weeks! I hope you're all working on a project to share!!

What a sweet letter to your cuz! I feel the same way about mine. :) He's 6 years younger than me, and I spent a good deal of time torturing him. ;) Can you forward your letter to Belly Fat to mine? ;)
I love your letters! Great job and of course I am working more mod podge projects than ever!

These are so funny! Love the cool teenagers ditching the younger cousin. Funny how all of our ages mesh together eventually! Ah Belly Fat...one of the privileges of motherhood/maternity! :D

shortmama said…
oh sweet belly fat how I loathe thee!
Sami said…
I gotta say, I'm busting a gut over the whole "New Kids" thing! Totally takes me back!
I'm also fighting a losing battle with my belly fat. Maybe it's because I'm on the chocolate and Dr. Pepper diet. What? It is so a diet plan!

I sure hope my oldest offers up that apology to my son when they are older! Now wait a minute here...are you sayin' that you'd rather go to a New Kids concert than a Daughtry concert????!!!! Oh mah goodness, tell me it ain't so! I'd rather go to Daughtry any day!

And did ya have to bring up belly fat?! ;)

I love your Dear Someone's as always. I'm really feeling the one to the New Kids...I totally feel the same way!!!! Why did they wait until I already have two trips planned to decide they're going to post most tour dates?! WHY?! They KNEW we wanted to go together! GAWH! What is their deal? I want to see them soooooo bad and I was really hoping the next time I see them that you would be there too!!

Well, hope you're having a good week! Love you!♥

I could write the same note to my belly fat. Ugh. What is it with that stuff hanging around?!!?

Sorry 'bout the New Kids.
Emmy said…
It is funny how 4-5 years as a teenager is a huge deal, just ask my little sister who I was too cool for for so many years; but now it is nothing.
Amy said…
Oh no fun for NKOTB..
LOL - belly fat -- die! So funny!

XOXO

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t

Sunkissed Citrus Scentsy, and Melon Medley from the Walmart knock-off scents! 3. rubbing alcohol (I know, I need help) 4. along those same lines...nail polish and nail polish remover. Dislike: coffee Touch Like: 1. The click, click of the keyboard beneath my fingers! 2. back massage from my husband - he has magic hands! 3. an ice cold soda can on the back of my neck on a hot summer day! 4.Hot showers Dislike: Hot glue on my fingertips! Occupational hazard for me! Sound 1. My baby (okay she's 2 now!) whispering "secrets" in my ear. 2. My kiddo's giggles. 3. My husband's singing. He has a very nice si

Mod Podge Mania!

I am so super excited for our first edition of Mod Podge Mania! I love this stuff, and I LOVE getting new ideas for how to use it...so hopefully this will be a great place for "inspiration" where we can all get some fun new ideas! So here's how it will work. Post about a project on your blog, along with instructions on how you created your mod podge masterpiece! OR you can do a post featuring a project you have seen someone else do, just to pass the idea along. Just make sure you give credit where credit is due! Also, make sure to include a link back to my blog in your post! Next, link up by entering your name and copying the URL to your post into Mr. Linky - he's waiting at the bottom of this post.
