getting older means tourist traps, yes?

My friend L is visiting me this week, helping me to celebrate my birthday (which was Saturday the 7th) in true style! She brought her Cassiopeia Spice, Clementine July, with her.

We roadtripped to Kansas City, MO to see Eisley and on the way back, we went through Carthage, MO to visit their little junk and antique stores. I always really like to go to them, they're full of charming/creepy old stuff...

We also went to the notorious Precious Moments Chapel, which has to be seen to be believed. Aury and Clementine, being rather precious themselves, came along into this strange vortex with us. It's really impossible to explain just how creepy this place is... it gives me what Kathy Griffin calls the "church giggles." However, for a connoiseur of kitsch and creep like me, it was a hilarious thing to do on my birthday!

Showered in preciousness...!

When we got home, the table was all decorated for my birthday... it was so cute!

easy as one-two-three

Made a trio of frost hats for someone on Etsy! I hadn't been to the craft store in a couple of months when I was asked if I could make three white hats, and so didn't know whether they would even have the frost colorway or not (they were very picked over last time I went). But they did!

Here's something I'm excited about: my friend L is coming for a visit! She was here last March, too, and then also in the summer of 2009. But this time she'll be bringing her CS, Clementine July, with her, and we're going to have a mini-Blythe-meet with my friend E and her SC, Cora. I recently also found out that Moofala (who made my blue-haired custom girl, Drew) lives in my neck of the woods, so the three of us combined won't even have the most Blythes in the city...!!

bunny nuggets!

Last weekend, Blythey hangouts were had: Gavin and I went to see E and her SC, Cora. It was an FBL party (not to be confused with an NFL party). Gavin got a new hat from E!! It's so fly, I'm going to have a photo session with her later. Also, E knitted up some bunny nuggets for my girls! They are basically the cutest things I have ever seen.

They all have "M" names. You know, like the Duggars, but bunnies, and more pagan.

Here's Milton...

And Maxine... (she is the mama)... and she's paaaank.

Where ya goin', Milty?
