~Your kids are becoming you… and you don’t like them… but your grandchildren are perfect! ~Going out is good.. Coming home is better! ~When people say you look “Great”… they add “for your age!” ~When you needed the discount, you paid full price. Now you get discounts on everything.. movies, hotels, flights, but you’re too tired to use them. ~You forget names …. but it’s OK because other   people forgot they even knew you!!! ~The 5 pounds you wanted to lose  is now 15 and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds. ~You realize you’re never going to be really good at anything … especially golf. ~Your spouse is…

If EVER there was a craft book that SCREAMED my name it’s this!! I am cracking up just reading the description.  I need this book!! Fave Craft site is giving away a copy… go!  Sign up!!  : ) You’re welcome!  You know I’m always looking for cool stuff for you!

I can’t even imagine how many hours and days it takes to pull off something like this!  How fun and frustrating at the same time this project would be.  But I wanna try!!  Zac! Bring me some DOMINOES!!  (My favorite part is the water glasses and the flags!)  Enjoy and hopefully your mouth is wide open like mine was. WOW!!
