Did You Know Tuesday...Luck of the Irish Edition

Let's get right to the "Did You Know" fun, shall we?  

DID YOU KNOW...
that I have been blessed by the luck of the Irish lately?  I have won 3 giveaways in the last two weeks!! Check me out!  I won an $80 gift card to CSN Stores from Otin...a $25 Gift Card to Krogers from Polka Dot Moon (who has a very cool etsy shop btw...) and this morning I won a $60 gift card to CSN Stores from Shannon over at It's Trickey!   I'm hoping this arrives any day now!


DID YOU KNOW...



that this photo of Catherine (who looks psychotic here) and her dance teacher, Caitlin (whom she adores), was taken only an hour before Irish Dancer Girl came down with major illness and had to leave her dance competition?  She could only complete 3 out of 8 dances, poor girl!  We had to high tail it back to Tucson for recuperation asap!  She's doing much better now, thank goodness!

DID YOU KNOW...
that I HATE clowns?  (my evil sister sent me that magnet a while back...grrr...)  My sweet friend Meg shared this little goodie with me...


(amen to that!)  I was checking out Scope's blog and discovered that the
that the first week in August is National Clown Week.  {{{shudder}}}  He shared this "lovely" clown dinner portrait with his dear readers.  What followed after that portrait has caused me nightmares for days! 

Go here to check it out...seriously...(well wait until you're done with my post, then go there because I have an important announcement to make!)



Did You Know...

that today is Teen Caveboy's 14th birthday!!!  Happy Birthday, Connor!!!!! You are the most amazing son in the entire universe! I love you!
(you know you're probably getting that red velvet cheesecake...don't you....)

XoXo

Ick! Clowns don't always scare me, Unless they are meant to look evil.

I'm not a huge fan of clowns. They don't scare me, so much as I don't find them amusing. They tend to be a bit creepy.

Hope your Irish Dancer is on the mend and Happy Birthday to Caveboy!

That Clown Last Supper picture is the scariest think I've ever seen. And it looks like Pennywise -- the clown that still haunts my dreams -- is front and center.

Gee, thanks Dawn.

I think you need to send me proof that red velvet cheese cake exsists. You can just send a piece over night in the mail...be sure to keep it cold.

After a bit of a hiatus created by a series of very unfortunate events, Bee is back and ready to blog!  What better way to conquer the frustrations of life than to have a party! Miss Catherine turned 8 last week and we celebrated over the weekend with a Monster High themed bash at Pump It Up! P ump It Up is an inflatable play arena...we had the whole arena filled with jumping castles, obstacle courses, and giant slides reserved just for our party guests!  It was a blast! Coming down the ginormous slide! (I made personalized student ID party favors for each of the guests!) After an hour of crazy bouncing fun, we headed into to the "Creepeteria" for pizza and cupcakes!    My new favorite cupcake topper...the candy crown cupcake pick These little tasty beauties were made by yours truly! Monster High student "Lagoona Blue", daughter of the Creature from the Black Lagoon,    came by to visit our birthday girl and her guests! We set up a birthd...
