Whoa...you have to see this book that my secret sis made for me. My very own ART JOURNAL! It's absolutely beautiful. I have looked at it over and over again. I'm so flattered that she would take the time to do something so special just for me.
See, she's supposed to be a secret, but she's not because...well, I jokingly requested that she be my secret sis and then she told the organizer of the whole thing to make me her secret sis thinking I wouldn't expect that, and then I figured it out...well, PJ helped me figure it out, and well, how could I not know who it was once all this beautiful stuff starting showing up on my doorstep? She's been an amazing secret sis and I'm sad it's all ending. If you haven't seen Virginia's work before, check out her blog. See. I told you. Amazing. And get this...she has three children. Little children.
Thank you so much for all of the positive comments and encouragement about my inability to get my sh*t together. And Slade, how 'bout that New Moon? Excellent news! Anyway...so I was off today (Praise the Lord God Almighty) and Bobbie Jo came over and helped me tremendously with the office. It's looking so much better. Here's a before pic of one corner. That's all I'm gonna reveal until after it's all done. And see that football? The one in the box on the left? It's autographed. By Nick Saban. I know, I'm going to Hell for disrespecting it so much.
And here's how happy Clover was to see Bobbie Jo. I felt the same way. I just can't jump that high.
good times.....

that art journal is REALLY nice...I have enjoyed seeing all the great stuff from the secret sis. It was also great to see Bobbie Jo today, but I can't jump as high as Clover, either.

Yay! I am so glad you liked it! Sorry that the binding is kind of wonky where you can't open all the pages... I think I must've measured that all incorrectly.
I have loved being your secret sis... I am sad that it's almost over!

No, Marianne, Bobbie Jo did not cut the grass...but if you would like to do that for me, feel free to come over any time. PJ cut it yesterday after work...and he vacuumed...and he cleaned toilets.
