I am living...

...vicariously through my plush. I said this a few years ago when my plush were being sold in an art gallery in Hawaii. Now, I am saying it again!

Have you seen the first "Traveling Pants" movie? When one of the girls goes to Greece to visit her Grandparents. The Greek Island, all white buildings with blue roofs...that is my dream. I can't say "dream visit" or "dream vacation" because truly, it is more. The day that I arrive there, I am sure to cry, probably for days. I will be an emotional mess, in a good way though, overwhelmed with gratitude, thankful to be submerged in such beauty.

Oh...my plush...this cutie, right here.....

is on his way to Athens, Greece. I know, it's exciting! I'm holding back the "excitement" tears. But I DID do a dance!

Happy weekend!

I love me some Noah Scalin!

Doug and I met him a few summers ago at the Art-o-Mat Convention in Winston-Salem,NC. He was on about day 62 of his Skull-a-day project. He even added a skull he made on that trip to his blog, it's the one made of bed sheets from the motel we all stayed in. During the convention, he and I traded...I got one of his skull tees and he got one of my SkullShies. heehee. It's pictured on his blog too, with all the loot he collected from the trip.

Here is a clip of him appearing on Martha Stewarts Show...I guess I am 1 degree seperated from knowing Martha Stewart...cool.

Happy Valentine's Day!
