Someone propped me up here, on the primo vinyl sofa, at the age of 2 months so that I could give you a lil advice.
Listen up Miss Bella,
Schmooze your Grand Cat Daddy and he will make sure that the world is yours. Go ahead and schmooze your daddy while you are at it. He already thinks you hung the moon!
Don't worry about sitting ladylike at this age. It's darn near impossible with these diapers.
See my left hand? Left hand. I forgot you're just a lil kid. Ok, the side the kitty cat is not on. See my fingers? My very own Daddy about stunted my growth by putting my fingers in the hook 'em horns position every time he walked by me. He was bound and determined that I would wear orange and achieve my higher learning where he got his learnin', at The University of Texas. Does anybody think Dad is bothered by the fact that I am (years after this picture was taken) madly in love with a bonafide, maroon wearing, cult ring bearing Aggie? Thankfully, my fingers didn't stick that way.
Bella, you just get yourself smart however you can. Drink your milk and grow yourself. After that diaper thing, you'll have plenty of time to sit ladylike, I'm sure.
Love your family as much as we all do, and your life will be more full than my tummy after a bottle of milk.
Miss Debbie, thank you for inviting me. I didn't get to rsvp, so I hope you don't mind me crashing the shower. I'm gonna go crawl under the bed and see what I can see. I think I saw something moving and that's always fun to explore!
I kinda wish we still had this vinyl sofa to sit on. Or at least to sell!
Happy Tuesday!
Little Mindy
ps. If you are confused by all this fuss, Miss Debbie at Talking Trash is hosting a baby shower for her beautiful Bella. Go here to read all about it.
I promise we will not rest our drinks on the green felt, love. But, I can't promise we won't dance on top of the table!!! 
I guarantee, we will be grillin' and chillin' while David wanders aimlessly in his lostness.
One of the girls, Tammy, had a trampoline at her house when we were growing up. She, in fact, broke her arm on it. I'm hoping to re-live some flips. But, no runs to the hospital or calls to the lost man for a ride to the hospital! (I hope)
One of those lost days for David will be a fun day for us in his pool! Good times!
We will absolutely be playing with his margarita machine while he is lost. Thanks for showing me how this contraption works before you got lost, honey!
I lied. Here is a picture of us after the spa last year. Thank you for getting lost honey, from me and my Tammy friends!
Carolyn had guests vendors set up with her, as well. Linda and Ludmil of Willow Nest were there with lots of lovelies.
I thought this little headless bride was adorable! (I know, it wasn't their intent for me to call her that, but it makes sense)
Did you know Miss Tn' T was there? Indeed! Our most beloved Debbie was set up selling and looking absolutely stunning in that white dress. Love it! Also in the picture, you can see Cat Daddy and Jenn, Momma Bella herself.
I fell in love with this dirt dobber art. Isn't it amazing?
After that visit, we went down the block for a quick visit with Lillie at Junk Palace. Let me tell you right here and now, Lillie is having a 25% off every single thing in the whole, entire store sale. We did not allot enough time for this spree, dang it! Lillie, I'm coming back. David got a few great shots of Junk Palace here.
The gps next directed us to Athens. David headed into Sweet Pea where he commenced to take some awesome photos of Gloria's store. Here are the pictures he took.
I headed straight into Winnie & Tulula's and did a quick reset of my space with some new goodies. David snapped a few pics of Winnie & Tulula's as well. To see the entire running set of the store, you can view here.
That was a whirlwind, wasn't it? Whew! We enjoyed spending the day together and visiting with all of these fine people.
I got over that brain fart and realized that if I merely turned them, the weird D was actually a fancy A.
I spied these on top of a fairly large box. Upon further investigation, I found that the entire box was full of these funky round rugs in the turquoise blue and gold. I guess there are at least 20 or so.
I might not be into linens, but I love just about anything in bulk. It's an addiction. A problem. A gift? ha! You got it. I bought the entire box. For a steal, I might add!
Metal frames. Velvet background. Chalk Cherubs. With color.
Yesterday was a baseball base on a chair. Today is cherubs.
Ya never know! What do you think? I'm not crazy about the blue and pink, myself. But, I do like the spirit of the pieces. If you love them, holler. They would ship easily.
