this is kind of embarrassing...

being the huge star wars freak that i am.. that when jaron sees darth vader, he always says.. "look mommy, it's chad vader."
if you haven't seen chad vader yet, here he is..

"look mommy, it's me dressed up as chad vader!"

ummm...

sorry jaron, i think these are all made in china.

call me martha...

I saw this stuffed animal in a magazine today... i loved it... it was $55.00!!
so, i made my own. granted, it's a little skinny and the sewing isn't that great.

but, it cost me about $3.00 and an hour of my time.

wow, first my hibiscus blooms.. then this... i may start cooking! ugh!!

no real than you are???

i've never found anything this cool in the ocean...

remember these??

before...
after.
however, my hibiscus is actually blooming... so there.
