Chucklebutt and I are off to the little mining town of Jerome.  We just rented a kick-ass Dodge Dakota truck and I am hooked.  I think it may be time to retire Hecate.  Anyway, we’re behind as usual and while I wait for Chuck to get ready, I thought I would post a few pics.

Thanks to my in-the-know mother, I just found out I won a give away over at Vintage by Crystal’s blog.  I had no idea until I got an email from my mom congratulating me.  I didn’t know what she was talking about.  What a surprise.  I love Crystal’s critters and now I have one of my very own.  I’m sure I’ll have to get a few more to keep this one company.  Check it out!

Yesterday was one of my co-worker’s last day before going on maternity leave.  She is going to have twins, and a few weeks ago we all threw her a baby shower.  I had all the ladies write various words of encouragement/advice on pieces of paper and then I composed a paper bag book in which to put them all.

There are more pictures, but I won’t bore everyone.  Inside the paper bags, I put all the notes and secured them with pretty clothes pins.  I had lots of fun working on it and I wish her and her babies nothing but the best!

Well, Chuck is ready and we are heading out.  I can’t wait to get there, as I’ve never been to Jerome but I’ve heard super things about it.  Every room in town was booked this weekend except for a little apartment over a cafe.  They don’t advertise and we only found it through word of mouth.  I’m so excited I could squeal!

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!
