my o my...a GIVEAWAY!

'Member how I've been so awesome at blogging this summer?? Oh, yeah...

Last month we had a fun creative activity at work...screen printing! All of us creative peeps designed a little something and then over two days, we headed over to one of my co worker's houses and printed the afternoon away! It's always nice to get a little 'creative break' from work :)

I printed this little ditty up on some shirts and some AC textured cardstock:


Want one?? Leave a comment, and I'll select a random commenter on Monday (because Monday's a holiday and that'd be fun to have a winner on a holiday, right?)...and I'll drop a poster in the mail to you (and maybe even with a little something extra :) Just be sure to tell me in your comment if you're sad to see summer end or if you're happy to see fall coming. Deal?

I'll answer first: I drove with a friend up the canyon yesterday afternoon, and the air was slightly crisp and so refreshing. Yes, I'm just a *little* excited for fall to be here!

Kittens! Inspired by...Kittens!

I've probably single-handedly watched this 9,280,373 of the 9,280,374 times it's been viewed. Watch it at least twice...with every view, it gets funnier! (Right mom???)

I think part of the reason I think it's funny, is because I can see my niece, Claire, making a video like this in about 3 years from now!

I think...

...they just might be related.


(the picture of Claire--if you can figure out which one she is--was taken by Katharine.)

Those Brewer kiddos...just can't get enough of them! Claire is learning and trying to be so gentle with her little brother and wants to cuddle right up next to him. Caleb couldn't be a cuter lil' guy!

...and let your natural sweetness shine through!

My sister in law, Holly, posted this...it's too funny not to share. Enjoy :)

Sister & Brother

Claire is soo in love and can't keep her eyes off Caleb! When she's not staring the baby down, she's playing on the jungle gym...I mean hospital stuff...and loving life! :)

Welcome Baby Caleb!

Welcome to the world, little Caleb :)

2 Down...

...only 11 more to go! These frames just don't want to stay up! These two frames fell on a customer...oops!


After dinner tonight, everyone headed back to downtown Chicago, but I took a car back to the hotel. My trusty GPS took me a different route back to the hotel, and I started getting a little nervous that my GPS wasn't so trusty after all--I somehow ended up on a toll road and in a neighborhood that was totally unfamiliar! As I continued on my way, I saw a gold something-or-other that was glistening in the setting sun, and as I got closer, I realized that I was just down the street from the Chicago Temple! I had heard that our hotel was down the road from the temple, so it was such a relief to find it, knowing that my hotel was just a few more blocks away.

One more day of CHA and then down to St Louis! Woo hoo!

A Little Cover Up...

Oh goodness...what's a tradeshow without at least a little disaster??

Today was setup day for CHA! We got things done pretty quickly and things were going smoothly...until I pulled the pebbles sign out of its box. See the two frames in the upper right corner of the pebbles sign? They're covering up a huge crack. With so few resources and not much time on our hands, we did what we could with what we had! The rest of the booth turned out cute...more pics to follow!


We headed down to Navy Pier after setup and walked around downtown Chicago for a little while. Ate some good food at Bubba Gump's and saw a little of where Transformers 3 is being filmed. Became friends with some of the security guards who were keeping people out of the filming area.

Why?

Why is there a ladder outside my bedroom window at 7:00 on a Sunday morning??All I'm sayin' is that there better be a good reason for this.

Happy Sunday!

Iron Man? Claire?

Went to Wal-Mart last night with Claire, and she somehow got her hands on this Iron Man mask. We definitely went around the store with it on. Claire was laughing the whole time--even though her eyes might suggest otherwise...


There's a smile under there!

Oh--and the pool noodles were on sale, and since she's always "borrowing" the other kids' noodles at the pool, I thought it'd be a good idea to get her a couple. Claire had to "hold" the noodles while in the cart, but she kept hitting everyone we'd pass by, which was especially comical because she had her mask on.

Never a dull moment when you're with Claire!! Love my little buddy!
