It's Baaaaaaaack!

You'll never guess what I got for Christmas!

I got the "hideous chicken" back from my aunt - too funny!

I'm glad I got it ... it grows on you and I was missing it!

Weekend stuff

Go Bananas Challenge:

I guess I should just make the challenge on Wednesdays since it always seems to get pushed back a day!

Anyway, I will have the challenge up tomorrow along with the Design Team samples.

Hideous Chicken:

This weekend was the housewarming and we delivered the Hideous Chicken (see earlier post for more details). 

Julie actually claims that she likes it!!  We ended up telling her that it was a gag gift, but she said that she liked everything about it... except that it was a rooster.

We will see if it gets re-gifted to me at Christmas :)  HAHAHA!!

Contest Winner!

I created a card as an entry in the home page contest for a group that I am in - and I won!!  ... 

But I was the only one who entered!  Oh well - I still like the card!

The theme was "Fall Foliage".

Here it is:

Thursday Things

Hello Everyone!

Here it is, Thursday again, and I have a rather odd post for you to enjoy!

My DH is a bit weird - as is his family - loveable weird,  NOT creepy weird.

Here is an example of their brand of weird.

I was invited to Christmas Eve dinner with them. 

Remember that this was my first Christmas Eve Ever with them and my DH and we had only been dating for a month at this point.  

After dinner and presents, his mom breaks out the flarp!  If you don't know what Flarp is, it's a putty/goo-like substance in a plastic jar, that when you press your fingers in it, will cause a farting sound!

Now I am totally cool with potty humor, I have a brother, so I (along with everyone at the house) was laughing hysterically after the first 10 minutes, but that was my first Christmas Eve with them and I wasn't even part of the family at that point!

So my DH's Aunt and her Fiancee just bought a house together.  Naturally we want to give them a special, unique housewarming gift.

We came across this night-light lamp at a little boutique in one of those quaint towns lined with shops, boutiques and antique stores and we knew instantly that it was going to be the perfect gift for them!

Here it is lit, with the other lights in the room on:

We call it the "hideous chicken". 

(Yes, we know it's a rooster, but Chicken sounds funnier.)

It's sitting on my living room book shelf and it's actually growing on me - which is scary in itself. I need to box it up before I can't bear to part with it!!! HAHAHA!

But what is even more scary, is that when you turn all the lights off, it transforms into:

 "The Evil Hideous Chicken!!!"

See the satan-red glowing eyes and the evil red aura it casts?

It will probably end up in the guest room where we will be staying, leering at us whenever we visit!
