That's actually supposed to sail "failed" tests not "faied"

Major Blingage

*laughs* I think it's going to take me a long time to get used to writing the new date. I didn't think I would mess up on the month/date, though. I thought for sure it would take me forever to get the year. But I guess since I'm trying so hard to get the year down that I forget about everything else...

George the...Monkey?

I won him in one of those games where you have ducks (plastic) floating in a bowl of water and there are certain ones with "X"s on the bottom and if you got two of them you won a prize from the prize table. The table was so full of prizes, so many things to choose from but I saw George and I knew he was the one I wanted.

Jake & Todd

Jake is a huge stuffed animal! He is wider than I am and about half my height. He sits in a full-sized chair. When I talked my mom into garage sale-ing with me, we came across Jake. I thought he was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. But I let him be. Then when we were almost done going around town I asked Jon to walk back to the house with me so I could buy Jake. When we couldn't find the house, Mom and Dad picked us up and drove us there and miraculously enough, he was still there waiting for me.

Todd was a beanie baby that Jon got from Barnes & Noble. We named him Todd because he reminded us of the fox from Fox and the Hound (still one of my favorite movies) and I gladly took him into my stuffed-animal family.

I used to have church in my room where I would set all the stuffed animals lined up on my bed and I extended my desk as high as it would go and I would have announcements and I put my CD player on for the worship and then I would get my daily reading bible lesson and "preach" to the "congregation" it was pretty cute.

Heroclix

These are a big deal around here. I'm not so sure if it's the game itself or if it's the opportunity to spend time with James that really makes people love them. I went and played Pictionary with the chics that came and we had too much fun. I loved laughing with them.

The little game peices are 2" tall and the disks they sit on have an inch diameter. They're pretty small. Loads of fun to draw.

Rosettes

These cookies are like eating air. You could eat a thousand of them and you wouldn't get full. You would gain a lot of weight though...I decided to try something new with my shading and I took two different colors and cross-hatch shaded the side. I thought it turned out pretty neat.

Sad Froggy

This is actually a musical frog that I drew. When you press his foot, he ribbits "Jingle Bells" it's pretty cute. Even though he sings a Christmas song, I always thought he looked sad. So after I tried to draw a basket first, I was able to sympathize with him even more than before.
