Been on youtube for 2 hours just listening to The Voice/X Factor/Idol from all different countries. I love this cover of Blank Space from last year's The Voice. She did Hot Line Bling as well, also awesome!

My Mia

R.I.P. Mia

    My heart broke today when I heard that our Mimi has passed away. 

   My "cousin" Mia was a beautiful girl who loved food, roughhousing, cookies, snuggles, snacks, and throwing her empty food dish at you to say she was hungry... And the occasional nail painting. 

   I wish I was closer to her these past few years. I remember living with my aunt and getting to have her and Huddy sleep in the bed with me every night. I'm so glad I was able to take professional photos of her with her family this past fall and that I was able to make a painting for my aunt's birthday of her along with the other dogs. She was a goofy dog with an adorable face. She will be missed tremendously.

The top painting is Mia and the under is clearly Hudson. I painted my aunt's other dog Kramer as well.

Grandpa Jack's 90th Birthday

   Sean's grandpa is 90 years old! He even got a crown, haha. We went to a local ice cream shop to celebrate. We brought pizza and a cake, and we of course got ice cream. They even made a special cake for him with his favorite team on it. These people make extraordinary ice cream cakes, better than anything I've seen. So cool. I was so hungry I ate four slices of cheese pizza, had peice of cake and a giant chocolate covered strawberry, so delicious. I got ice to take home though. I figured I'd save it for later when I was in pjs with an elastic waistband! 

   It was such a lovely time with the family. Jack liked my card I made him. He got a beautiful frame with Frank Sinatra lyrics in it from Sean's cousin, Lindsay, that's his favorite singer. A shirt of his team with 90 and his name on the back! A great gift. Then Sean's uncle who I guess works for the town, he's the person who cuts ribbons for local business! I want giant scissors now.... anyway, he got the mayor to make it Jack Carroll Day. Like seriously!!! The mayor made a proclamation. What a memorable gift, we can celebrate each year, haha!

 

Ice Cream Card

   Painted with watercolor for Sean's grandfather who was turning 90! Don't mind my handwriting, I'll never be good at it. But I've accepted it! But I like the ice cream, I wish I did a lighter color as the background. Ah, next time.

Happy Valentine's Day My Loves

 

Hello love birds,

   I just adore Valentine's Day. I just love love! I got a beautiful card Sean painted. I made Sean a card but of course I spelt something wrong so I didn't post it and it's only on my phone. I wrote "You're my favorite person to Netflix and chill with" but instead of Netflix I wrote Netflix... I was trying so hard to make the lines match up that I added another line to my F! It was in all caps. Sean got two small cards from the animals. Too funny, I had to! I got him a box of chocolates and a few other things. We watched X-Files and went to Olympia to eat. It wasn't an eventful valentine's but hey that's life.

   Love always,

      Christina

HILARIOUS!

Thank you Timehop!
