In Bisbee in search of treasure...

Justin and I took a trip to Bisbee yesterday in search small treasures to add to a whimsey jar I'm working on for a swap on Tally. I always love going to Bisbee you find the weirdest of weird things. Justin and I took a path less traveled to the local city park. That was interesting. It's on top of a building. Of course most houses are built into and on hills so I guess that's normal. Any who, it was cute! While on our way up there we spotted a sculpture that was like that alien from 5th Element. Freakin' scary. So scary a picture was not happening!

Then visited the Bisbee musuem. It's been years since I toured that museum and was quite pleased with all the updates. Okay more than pleased it was awesome and pretty interactive! Oh and kid friendly! Not so much Justin friendly. It's better they not put signs up saying do not touch because dorko wants to touch of course! Sorry no pics, they were not allowed. I should have taken a pic of the outside, but lazy is all I can say. Any whoo here's the pictures we did take:






And here's the treasures I found!!


I think the most exciting treasure I found was the paper coins! They were handed out during the World's Fair in New York in 1954-1955. Exciting to have a tiny piece of history in your hands! Some of this will be used in the whimsey jar and some will be used in future RAKs and Swaps. I've got one more update for today but I'll make a whole new post for that.

**Vicky asked what the kokopelli were made of. the blue and purple ones are actually soaps. the metal one is copper.

I also got my April Card Kit from Debi today!! I'm participating in the card kit swap in one of the my space groups I'm in. So cool!
This is the Kit she sent me:


I got all into making the cards and have nothing much left of the Kit! I love the kit she sent and love the colors. So these are my pretty cards:

Egg-xactly!

So I spent part of my afternoon in the kitchen and the another part doing a LO for a pretty nifty sketch by Lizzie on Tally Scrapper.

Here's the fun I had in the kitchen, from decorated easter eggs to yummy deviled eggs.

Justin decorated the Pink Egg with the heart Ewe. I did the Lamb. Hummmm, maybe you can figure out our last name from that.

There's alot of stuff in the deviled eggs from mayo, musturd, garlic, onion , pickle juice and oregano. I'm sure there's more. They came out yummy, if I do say so myself :).






Here's the LO: Me in my dad's combat Boots! Aren't I cute?


And a card made from scraps and a cute little stamp from Stampin' Up!

The Baby Question...

Our families are always asking:
"When are you two gonna have a baby?"

Some our replies:

"Are you voluntering to babysit every other weekend?"
"You're gonna buy us a house right?"
"Have you met Justin?" ADD is all I can say.
"Well if you keep the baby 'till it's potty trained, I might think about it."

We've been married 5 years are are barely getting used to each other. Our main focus right now is to buy a home. We all know how difficult that is with the economy right now. I'd still really like to go on a honeymoon first. It's only been 5 years.

Believe me I've been baby crazy a few times already. But I can't see it as being a smart move right now. Zoey is the lastest cure for being baby crazy. She's sweet and babylike , but Crazy!! She has so much energy I can just imagine if we had a baby like her, wow!! So for right now I'm good. When we get to that point of having a "real" baby (as mom says) I'll make sure everyone and their mamma knows. But for now 3 four legged monsters are our babies. We're happy and that's all that matters.

So next time you want to ask this question of a couple put yourself in thier shoes and think about the reasons they may not have started thier family yet.
