for Hallmark

By
As per Veronica's suggestion, I'm submitting a Mother's Day card to Hallmark.

See. I already have the outside designed:


But I'm debating on the wording for inside the card though.  So I need your input.

I was thinking this:

Here's to wishing Mother's Day would be dragged into the street, beaten by 1,000 thugs with brass knuckles, then let loose with a couple dozen ninjas with nun chucks, before being doused in gasoline and set on fire.  Have a HAPPY day!

or this:

Is it wishful thinking that you can make it another year without selling your kids to traveling gypsies or the highest bidder on ebay?  We'll be keeping our fingers crossed.

or this:

As your adoring children, we wish we had never had driven you to insanity, but we really hope you like your new padded cell.  LOVE YOU MOM!



So yeah.  What do you think?  

Maybe Hallmark will print all three.

I think Hallmark would be more likely to print the last one. Kids get cards for their moms, but moms (who may or may not care for the holiday) are less likely to buy cards for other moms who don't care for the holiday.

Though they are all clever.

I love them all. I'm thinking of something a little simpler though. What about Mother's Day???? on the front, and then on the inside, just one word.

Ha.

I really hope you're serious. I love these! Please send them in. (I really want to protest the day publicly next year)

Did you seriously make that? I hope you are really going to do it, because I love the last one. I would buy that one. Heck I'm tempted to make one now to give to my mom for next year.

hair loss and mourning

By
I like Monkey's hair long.  I tried to grow out Opie's hair when he was younger, but he has always had a tremendously large head, and he also has very thick wavy hair.  You pair those two together, throw in some long locks, and you've got yourself a genuinely bonified giant-head child.  So I've learned my lesson: keep Opie's hair short. But Monkey's hair?  It's so soft, and straight (our only straight-haired child) and super super cute when it's long.  SUPER CUTE.  (Agree with me - it's my blog.)  But not many people liked the whole long hair thing.  I kept having to threaten various family members with things like, "If I come back to find him with short hair I will DISOWN you, run away with my kids and you will never hear from us again.  EVER."  (Husband was particularly sensitive to this threat.) However, I did say that once random strangers started referring to him as a girl, I would consider cutting it.  And even though ...

I am an artist.

By
I really am. But not one of those deeply moving, "what do you mean you don't understand my painting, it's BLUE" kind of artists.  I'm more like one of those "oh hey, a pen and a napkin, doodle doodle doodle" kind of artists.  Because I do it for fun.  And yeah, for money.  But still.  Fun....most of the time. But I feel like branching into new mediums.  Do you know how long it's been since I painted?  Like with something other than finger paints or the kids' water colors where all the colors are mixed so they just come out brown anyway? It's been awhile.  I've been itching to paint for months. I've also wanted to let Monkey loose on a canvas for awhile.  He's not like my other kids (who all carry mine and Husband's arty genes) who like to draw endless pictures of unicorns, princesses, transformers or dinosaurs.  Monkey likes to feel his art.  He'll probably end up being one of those deeply moving types.  And I'...
