Woo-Hoo Wednesday!
This Woo-Hoo Wednesday is dedicated to my oldest Nephew Christopher
Yes he is that big!!! I know I cannot believe 11 years ago today I was an Auntie for the first time!
Here he is with his Avatar character. We took him to dinner and on a tour of the book stores. Barnes and Noble and Borders. He got a load! Duke books and The Kingdom Keepers. He is starting the series and very excited. His Duke mag and book and Avatar went home with him but the Kingdom Keepers is here with his Harry Potter book! I am going to have to have a shelf just for him!
Happy Birthday!!!
I hope you have many many many more!
Love and Hugs, Aunt Lisa

Cupcakes
2 years ago for our Christmas party at work we had a gift exchange. You know you bring a gift and someone chooses and then next one can take yours and you get another. Well we didn’t do gag gifts and there were some really great prizes.
My first one was a cookie making book and accessories.
Someone took it!!!
Second I got this
and accessories to make cupcakes. This was WAY over our limit but it was one of the Dr.s and she had fun!
Sunday my mom HAD to go to AC Moore to get some flowers to finish a basket she is designing (really great pics to come!)
So I took her. Memphis my youngest nephew had to go. He is really good so he usually gets to go.
We walk in and they have redone the whole store so we wonder down the first row. They are decorating cupcakes!
We get a space and I say “Oh I have Hello Cupcake”
The guy there says oh great we have 2 of our new one left over there!
It was the Authors!
We made a flower cupcake and I got a signed copy of the new book!
Now I love both books, but if you don’t have either of the the books, go with What’s New Cupcake. Much easier ideas and less intimidating. The flowers are super super easy and I am pretty sure there will be a batch here for mother’s day! There are also great ones for the Holidays!
Look for them!!
Hope you have a great week!!

The Ways “You’ve Got Mail” changed my Life!
I know you know I love You’ve Got Mail.
I just in the past few months have had a rediscovery of the movie and have been really surprised at how much of it has made me do or change things.
Nothing life altering, really superficial, but you know how when you get in your head you need to do something or get something and then later realize why you had the idea. Well that is what this is like!
1. Introduced my to Pride and Prejudice. I was an old fan of Sense and Sensibility but my interest was peaked and even though it was years later I read and watched the BBC version and well I’m HOOKED!
2. Starbucks. I was not a coffee fan until I went to Starbucks!!
3. Started a Love/Hate relationship with big chain bookstores. Avoided FOR years Barnes and Noble, BUT I gave in and I am now a card carrying member of B&N!!
4. Teaching me to use reusable shopping bags! The Shop around the corner had their own great bags!!
5. Made me want to get a Laptop not a desk top computer. I didn’t have one for about 2 years after I saw this movie. But I have only ever had a Laptop!
6. To want to live in a small but perfect space!
Kathleen’s place
Need I say more?
7. To write to people I don’t know online.
Blogging!!!
How great is blogging??? ♥♥♥
8. To be the Nicest person I can be!
Kathleen is the BEST!
By the way do you remember the Puppy Song from the opening credits? How could I not like this movie!
Now you know a little more about me and about how I am a different person from one really great little movie!

I Believe…
"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."— Audrey Hepburn
