A little help?

Yes, I am asking for some help in this blogger world I'm kinda in. And I'll admit, help I have asked for on this site before has falling on deaf ears. Though it was nothing big... just asking how to personalize my blog header, or how to make the little icon, or just how to do the little tricks I see people doing. Granted, I know, some of these requests are not small, ten minute jobs. So I'm only mildly offended no one has cheerfully offered up their time and talent. lol.
Butttt this time it's not just for me! Others would have a teeny tiny gain, which we all know sweetens the deal. lol. Soooo I want to know how I can make this blog an invite only thing?
What's in it for you? Brutal honesty. Just kidding. Kinda.
But really, I want to write blogs like I used to, back in the myspace days... from my mind, my heart, etc etc. I loved blogging because it was a journal, except I didn't have to feel alone writing it. And I miss it. And I want it back. I want to write without fear of judgement. I want to know that I have to actually KNOW, and/or trust, whoever is reading my blog.
Sooooo, blogger friends... help a sista out! If you know me at all, you know I'd do it for you! :)
Thanks in advance!

Hello Twenty-Twelve

Happpppppppppppy New Year!!!

HaPpY GoLdEn BiRthDay HuBbY!

My husband celebrated his Golden Birthday today! We went out to lunch at his favorite resturant, and then went out for dinner and drinks with friends.
As a gift I got him a bottle of Goldschlager... (the liquor with actual gold flakes in it)! He was surprised, which I loved! I thought he would know it was coming, because what better gift for a Golden Birthday? It was a great day! :)

Good Morning, Christmas!

Christmas Doodles

Today we did some Christmas time art! We used Christmas stamps, stickers, glitter, and the kids' very favorite, PAINT! My kids are in love with Art time, and I love it too, (minus clean up) because I get to see what they come up with. We actually dedicated this Art time to Santa. We painted pictures for him. Chase's painting was adorable. I was so, very, ridiculously proud! He painted these elves, and they were the cutest little guys. It just has me in awe to see him grow through his Art. He used to be this little boy scribbling away, and suddenly he is drawing people... arms, legs, and eyes included! Kind of a big deal! :) I have known for a while that he is creative, and I love it, because I know without a shred of doubt, he got that from me. (PROUD MOMMY!) And he is so in his element when he is doing Art. Just like me. Yep... there's no way I'm turning that painting over to Santa! That one's mine. :)
