Introducing my new friend..... and some great news, too! :)

Okay, no cards for this post, but stick around anyhow 'cause I promise it'll make ya giggle - or at least smile!!!! :) trust me..........

Today David and I went on a little adventure. He is on vacation all this week, so we are spending some great time together (except when he is honking at absolutely EVERYONE which is just a thing he does 'cause he likes to wave at strangers to see their reactions....... oh yea, I love him, but I still do duck down in the passenger seat.......). So we took a walking tour of Chagrin Falls today. It's only about 20 minutes away from us, but we hardly ever go. It is just the most adorable little town/suburb of Cleveland. so verrrrry charming. We went into a pet bakery. I took a few samples. I can't believe David actually thought that I thought that they were for people!!! No, I was taking them for our dear pups, Mocha and Latte, back home for their little treat for the day! The expression on his face was priceless! We explored so many wonderful antique stores and this one adorable little herb shop that had their very own Fairy Village inside. Even David was impressed with that one. But the best stop was this one......... you will smile 'cause all of you know me!

And now to introduce all of you to my new friend, Pollyanna the Pig. Isn't she just the most precious thing you have ever gazed upon?!?! I'm thinking that your reaction is probably a weeeee bit different from that of the guys in my house....... oh the comments going around last night after I received her. yes, you read that correctly. She was a GIFT from the most wonderful Princess I know. We are members of the Tiara Club together. Kirstyn is a special friend of my son, Mick, and we used to wear our tiaras together at Camp Burton last summer. So we are honorary members of the Tiara Club. Those of you who saw my earlier posting where I referred to myself as the Princess of Sassiness didn't realize that I actually have a crown for it!! :) It rests upon the head of one of my Winnie the Pooh bears that sit on my compy. Well, you can't just put your tiara ANYWHERE you know!!!!! ;)

Back to Pollyanna - Kirstyn called me last night and said that she had bought me something that reminded her of me. She came over with this precious pet! You can't see it so well in the photo, but she is wearing the most wonderful pink tutu. Well, if you are gonna wear a tutu, it will most certainly be wonderful!!!! So we all tossed around names last night. I refuse to post the names the men in my family came up with. They do not do Pollyanna justice. They were not kind to her, and I refuse to allow anything unpleasant to come into her life. She is my Pollyanna, and every time I look at her I will be reminded of the joy and happiness that life can bring! So nanny, nanny, boo, boo, boys!!!!! and yes, I'm sticking out my tongue at you!!! A real Princess can do that! :D

Now for the news - I received an email this evening announcing that I am now a member of the Doodle Beans Design Team! I am so excited to join this fun new group! More info to come later.....
