I might be motherless after this one...

MomChops asked me ever-so-nicely for a bead embroidery pin for Easter...  since I had made a bunny one to give away...  it was only fitting that the woman who BORE me get one "just cause"...  I mean... seriously right?

She asked me to make her one that would match with the Easter outfit she had just finished making.  So here we go...  I made it on Saturday (cause I love to procrastinate like that).  So I have a little reveal here... and I am seriously NOT kidding when I say she might disown me when she sees what I am about to reveal.

Ok you guys ready?  Wait....  MomChops...  you might want to stop reading now...  All I am saying is that Aunt Mary's secret fabric is about to be revealed (did you guys hear that sound???  That was the sound of MomChops jaw dropping on the desk).

So here we go...
MomChops made a KILLER skirt from some beautiful fabric... ahem...  that was previously my aunt's curtains.  Ok I just LOL'd and no one is here (even proofreading this post made me LOL again).  I am not laughing at the skirt.  It's COOL...  like WAY cool.  I am doing the nervous kind of laughter thing.  Cause I am hoping I will still have a MomChops after that one.

So you ready to check it out?

Look at that beauty!!!  It's yellow..  hello spring!  AND!!!  It's covered in birds AND branches AND leaves AND flowers!  "Hello...  cool...  this is MomChops and I will be wearing you for Easter.."  Not kidding here folks.  MomChops is my hero.

So I HAD to make her a pin to match with that fabulousness right?

So there tis...  in all it's yellow and green glory!  The MomChops Easter Pin 2009.

That's my beautiful MomChops way up at the top there!  She was radiant when she came over Sunday!  I took some pics of her, her and the dogs, her and my dad and the dogs and just her and my dad (and of course a few of them trying to corral the Dogs Chops).

This next one is my FAV.  It pretty much sums up the obedience of the Dogs Chops.

 

Her and DadChops were having a heck of a time getting them to sit nicely.  They never did get it quite right...  I can hear my dad...  "Dog... sit..  SIT.  S.I.T."  ...and my mom is just smiling and smiling.  I love that.

So I have a couple of questions for you guys before we part for today...

I have a new section for paper crafters and scrappers..  you can see it there on the right.  Right now I have called it "Scrappy Do's"...  I am not really digging that.  Do you guys have any suggestions?  I want to feature the blogs of the scrappers, card makers and paper and digi crafters out there.  Help!  We need a good name for those talented gals!  Got any suggestions for me?

Do you have any good resources for paper crafts, altered art and general paper techniques and tutorials?  I REALLY want to spread my paper crafting wings.  I have been so inspired by Cassie of For the Art of It lately.  I want MORE!

I hope everyone had a terrific weekend!

Monday HUGS with lots of scrappy HUGS on the side (there is no such thing as too many HUGS is there??)!


P.S.  I have a new website coming soon...  it involves LOTS of HUGS (possibly more hugs than you can stand).  I'll talk more about that later.

P.S.S.T.  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
