The Dreaded Name Change

Ugh... I really need to change my name (I did get married in August). I've been dreading the process.

License Plate Belt Buckle by, Randi Tan

There is a fee for getting married ($60 in Oregon). Plus paying the officiant to marry you ($200). And, you would think a free license comes with the whole getting married thing. Nope. They give you a fake wedding license.Love Me Do Magnet Board by, Polarity

To get the real license you have to order online or go in person to pick them up. So, I thought I'll order them through the mail. NO. Its a ripoff. Your first license is $32.50 plus a $12.50 processing fee. Never mind that! I'm going in person. So, that's $20 a license with no processing fee ($15 for each additional).

Now, I have to figure out how many I need. Our bank needs one, my other bank needs one, social security needs one, the DMV needs one... Who else? I can't think.

We're almost at our 6 month mark... Hee! Wow, in September it will be our 7th year together. Looking back, who would have thought that I would marry the guy I met at the Dave Mathews Concert in the Gorge? Awww memories...

Monster Swap

I just wanted to share the cute Monster I received from the Monster Swap on swap bot. Its sooo cute!
His name is Harry D. Yeti. He was made by Bitty Cakes.

He has a little backpack that came with a little ball of yarn and tiny knitting needles.
Here's the monster I made for this swap and his story:

"This is the Sweater Monster.
A Sweater Monster will appear when your husband shrinks your favorite sweater. If you are not careful the Sweater Monster will get to your husband, confuse him,
and cause your husband to shrink another one of your favorite sweaters. The only way to stop the creation of more Sweater Monsters is to hide your favorite
sweaters from your husband."

I've also been working hard on restructuring my shop and blog. Here's a song that inspires a lot of creativity. I love it!
