    Vanessa this is so fabulous! I wanna think of things like this and I love your style so much. Sometimes I think I really need to simplify my work, I just always end up doing it the same way though. Soooooooooo cute! I really love all the clothes too.

    Hee-Hee, boy he is really tied up in knots. Pretty much the definition of tough love. =)
    Fun, charming, and a delight... just like the artist. Have a great week! =)

    So lovely!
    You bring truely so joy in my life, and I bet not only in mine.
    I see your blog had a facelift, but I can´t see the header, I tried to different servers and nothing but the little red x showing that there might be something.
    That´s sad, I am so nosy aftre I loved the old header so much I would like to know what the new one is like.
    Have a great week

    Well, if it isn't SPRING over at Ooh-La-La! Lovely! And if this isn't just the cutest group of kids messing with a python. You have a knack for dressing your kids in such stylish up-to-date clothes! (I guess I don't have a whole lot of inspiration-- my boys are all about t-shirts and shorts once the weather is over 50 degrees!) And your faces are so over-the-top EXPRESSIVE!

    Hey Miz Vee! LOVE the new look, how'd ya do it? Is it one of the new blogger templates or your own custom? My blog needs an overhaul like now! Poor Pinky indeed, that bow tie, ACK! Seeing your cute kids is always such a special treat, they are so fun and full of life and those polka dotted boots! I saw some like that the other day in TJ Maxx - was pretty tempting. Thanks for sharing your wonderful world with us! Along with Ces & Shirley I also bestowed the Renee Award on you. You probably have it already, but oh well - you've been a wonderfully supportive friend and inspiration and I truly appreciate it.
    Thanks! xoxoxo Susan

    Okay, you know what? These faces are so adorable, it's scary. You are soooooo good! This is a lovely rendition of the theme and so funny. I love the look on Pinky's face (I guess I'd look like that too if someone tied part of my body into a bow! HA!)

    Have a great day, my dear, and I may give you a call tonight, if that's okay.

    Love you much!
