Getting Ready for a Great Independence Day?!!

We actually did come up with some new designs but they never made it to the tablet for the July 4th holiday, sorry! We do however have a few Patriotic designs for the baby and they have been pretty popular. As you know our way to get people to laugh is to come up with some clever belly and bum sayings and designs, let me pass a few by you! We have the every popular american flag (with a cute face) for a boy or a girl - the girl's flag says "Little Miss Independence" and the bum reads "Littel Fire Cracker" - the boy's belly says "Born in the USA" and the bum reads "Home of the brave" - that one always cracks me up! And we have the symbolic Eagle - I love him and a cute Horsey that represent the "Yankee Doodle Dandy"!

Sooooo, let's hope for Mr. Sunshine this weekend while sitting back and enjoying the fireworks, festivities, food and fun but let's also remember while we're staring into those beautiful colorful lights what the 4th of July is all about - The Declaration of Independence, the document signed by John Hancock 224 years ago today, it reads: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Happy Independence Day everyone!

Sum Sum Summertime - It's finally HERE!!!!

It's the time of year women either hate or love bathing suits - they get reintroduced into our lives, along with weight issues, pale complexions, flip-flops or sandals and a host of other time honored rituals. It's all good and time consuming but well worth it! Summer brings watermelons, strawberries, peaches and plums into season - ahhhh the fruit and all it's beautiful colors! And last but not least summer vacation - where should we go? I know.... let's head to the beach!! We live in New Jersey, so it's a given - Long Beach Island is the place to be! Best time of the year - in my opinion!!



Summertime!! The rain has been over loading us here in NJ but we are ready for Mr. Sun to shine down on us! This time of year, kids are happy, school is over, swimming is in, pools are open, heat sets in, humidity visits and frizz is the new doo. Time to head to the beach, sit in traffic for an hour each way, fight off biting flies, jellyfish stings and rogue beach ball attacks, once you're at the beach, deal with crabby kids and strangers and finally face the painful "color" acquired cause we didn't think we'd burn this time.

The shore does offer the promise of ... the soothing sounds of the ocean, the familiar seagulls squawking, the smell of the saltwater and coconut suntan lotion is in the air, basking in the sun on the beach. Spending a memory with friends and family, spending money on good fun, just knowing it's gonna be a good day, the problems of the world can wait and for a while life is good. Maybe Summer comes along just in time each year. The fourth of July, Patriotic picnics will be here before we know it! So let's all beach out and leave our worries behind!! =]

Schools Out!!

... all Summer! - It comes around every year during June. along with graduations and proms. When my youngest niece completed kindergarten this year I listened to parents standing nearby and laughed at some of their comments in Facebook and Twitter, regarding the end of the school year. Naturally, a few funny thoughts came into my mind and the warped doodles began. Out of it came an entire water world collection of fish & portholes - they could also be considered "watercolors". Call them whatever you like, hopefully my sense of humor will appeal to you and maybe they'll workout for a graduation gift or a beach theme for your child's bedroom or perhaps they'll just be a fun shirt for you or the kids, or at the very least they'll make you smile. So happy Summer!
