With my first post of 2010, I share some fabulous news!

I entered Tim Holtz contest for the 12 tags of Christmas. All you had to do is complete the 12 tags....to be inspired by his work and email photos of them to him. Then he randomly choose one winner and then decided to choose 15 choice artists.

Boy was I suprised to see my name among the 15.

Tim Holtz is a Rock Star and I adore him! Can't wait to see what he does next.

Jackson's first ride on the school bus.

Hi. As some of you know, my little boy started at the special needs preschool for speech, last week. Today, was his first time riding the school bus and boy was he excited. The bus wasn't sure what time they would be arriving, so we ended up hanging out in the drive for an hour. I became bored and started taking photos....I took a ton of photos, but I will spare you and only share three that at terrible....

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the bus turns onto our street.

There is my big boy. I photo shopped out the county name, even though most of you know where we live.

Here is is getting ready to get off the bus.

There he is, being silly as ever, happy he got to ride the bus.
