Working In Some Cheer


This is me in my office sporting my most festive, slightly tacky, work wear for our Employee Christmas party. Last year most everyone participated and the most festive won a prize. I of course did not get the memo that no one was going to participate this year. I showed up to work in my little get up to find one other in festive head gear.I had on a leopard belt and zebra shoes to match the animal print in my Aunt Babs' vest. My shirt said "Santa Baby" in rhinestones and my hat matched the animal print. I was rocking it.


We had to sit upstairs/downstairs. We have production downstairs at our facility and office/design upstairs. I "had" to sit by Betty Jo. As you can see, we didn't mind it one bit. She has my Mawmaw's name and I adore that about her. I love this crazy cat. We sometimes have division between the upstairs and downstairs but I really don't. I love them all and make a point to visit with everyone. It was so fun sitting with my friend and playing dirty Santa with her. She was #1 and got to go first and last. Lucky duck!


Knight got the infamous Art Advertising tree. It was the dirtiest gift in the game last year and I ended up with it. One of the girls tried to steal it out of my house the week after the party, while visiting me, but got scared and shoved it in a cabinet in my living room. It took me a week to find it! It was been an ongoing joke all year. I regifted it this year. They all booed when they saw it and yelled "regift" but they loved it. Knight is excited to not have to buy a gift next year....regift it again!


Candace and I carrying the festive wear torch for the team. She ordered this fabulous fascinator off of Etsy. It has a nutcracker on it. She is the most creative and neatest person. It is a joy to work with her. She designed my Christmas card this year, if you received one. I was super pleased with what she came up with.


 And it would not be dirty Santa at Art Advertising without a little riff between Vicki and me. She fought me for the tree last year and tried to have it stolen from my house, and this year I stole her gift from her in hopes she would end up with the tree. Well, she didn't and the gift I took from her was a trick. It was a bag of coal with a hidden $25 Visa gift card. She is so mad at me once again....and it continues for another year!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
