Chinese New Year Zodiac!

Chinese New Year is Friday January 31st! Year of the HORSE! I love reading the Chinese Zodiac for myself and each of my kids...

I LOVE MY WIFE Fine Print Shirt!

I LOVE MY WIFE Fine Print T-shirt! Upon closer inspection it reads: I LOVE it when MY WIFE lets me play video games!  I made a few shirts like this for Christmas.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Welp, Today is my birthday! and I am officially 33.  I know. Old.  Check out all those candles!  We celebrated last weekend because the hubby had some time off work. I made cheesecake...I re-lit and blew out the candles 4 times,  until they were melted down to nothing! That's my favorite part! Otherwise, I haven't planned a big party for myself this year... Last year I had a Doctor Who party (like this one...although this was my sons) Pony Parties are a favorite! I had a Diablo 2 Party when I turned 30... (here's my son's 10th) And...a Dragon Party too...the year my birthday  fell exactly on Chinese New Year! And a Princess Party would be super fun! I'm thinking of doing a tea party in a month or so... This post published on Doodlecraft first
