I was shopping at Trader Joes and a young twenty something store employee stopped me, "Mam", she said, (Mam?? is she really talking to me? mam??) "where did you get your cardigan?" (now that's more like it) "LOFT" I answer. And she stares blankly--"you know, Ann Taylor's LOFT?" Still blank. So I instruct her where to find a store, and move along. So I have found my niche-my choice of caridigan color-still cool, my choice of store to purchase it at--only cool to those of us "Mams".

Valentines
I just finished making the girl's valentines cards. I got pretty ambitious on Saturday and Annabelle and I made THESE salt dough hearts. At first I just did it to see how they would turn out, and turn out they did. I loved them. So I bought some paint and glitter and got them all cutesied up today. I went to SAS and bought yards and yards of ribbon to use as the necklace part (10 cents a yard. Can't beat that). So each of the girls in their classes are getting little heart necklaces on their valentines cards.
Then I had to make cards for the boys. They just get a snickers or Kit Kat stapled to theirs. Boys don't do salt dough hearts. But they do candy. The one for Snickers said, "You make me snicker valentine". And the other one was for the Kit Kats. It just said, "I think you're sweet, here's my favorite treat". I tried like mad to come up with a Kit Kat rhyme, but I got nothin.
