Busy... Busy... Busy...
WOW! The Past two months have been incredibly busy around our house! I'm sure most of you can agree. With a 14 year old, an 8 year old, and a 3 year old, our time is spread pretty thin at the end of each school year. Track meets, class trips, talent shows, graduation preparation, Easter, a First Communion and all the routine things like; work, housework and yardwork... time has FLOWN by.

That's why this month's e-zine is a double issue. April passed right by and I had to combine the issue with May. I've got plenty to share in this edition ... the roosters are finally ready for release! I hope you enjoy this new collection as much as I enjoy creating them.
The Banty Brigade
"Otto" "Ratfink"
"Sammy" "Big Sal"
"Frank"

The line up is finally here! You have been introduced to "Otto" in the past. I promised more in the crew and they are here! I would like to introduce you to "The Banty Brigade!"

Each one of these characters has a personality all his own. They are a rough group full of attitude and egos. Click on each of the above images to meet each member.

There will be more feathered fowl joining this gang so start your collection now. If you are not a rooster lover, chances are you know someone who is. Prints are just $30 and Note Cards are $10 for a package of five (one of each design) or $18 for a package of 10 (2 of each design). Click here to order!

Never Send a Man to do a Woman's Job

Ladies, we've all had the experience of sending a man to the grocery store to pick up a few items. It all starts innocently enough… The first time you attempt this feat, you simply send him with a list and express your gratitude for taking on the errand.

The next time, you've learned. You give him the list, with aisle numbers, shelf locations, price and brand names written next to every item. You forego the “gratitude”, wish him luck and say a quick prayer for the impossible. Inevitably, you get the cell phone call from aisle three, “Honey, they do not have pickeled okra… and I can't find any Rye bread in the entire store.”

What is so difficult about taking a grocery list to a store, placing the listed items in the cart, paying and bringing the items home? For some reason, for the male genetic structure, it is very difficult.

Recently, I had a lapse of sanity and actually sent my husband to the store for panty hose. Surprised that he even accepted the challenge, I instantly rattled off a list of all components necessary to make the purchase. I'll admit, panty hose purchasing is a jigsaw challenge of insurmountable proportions. What was I thinking sending a man to do this job? Obviously I had experienced some sort of a stroke.

The phone rings. “OK, I'm at the wall of panty hose and I am not seeing anything marked 'toeless'.”

To which I reply, “You do realize there are two aisles of panty hose selections and you may need to request a ladder from the nearest assistant.”

“Yes, I have scoured both aisles and the nearest thing I can find to beige, toeless, lowrise, in a size B… is black, control top, sandal foot in Queen.”

This was obviously not going to happen. After pleading with him to seek assistance and losing the battle, I elected to go hoseless to the banquet and made a mental note to NEVER send a man to do a woman's job again. Until my next lapse of sanity…
