Just in case anyone was wondering how on top of all things crafty and seasonal this Momma is...I bought some Valentine cards for the boys to decorate. On Valentine's Day. We have been coloring paper and envelopes to wrap them up into, and we even mailed 3 out yesterday! Wow!

The Valentines we bought are fancy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle ones with messages like:
 |
| so awesome I will threaten you with my swords! |
 |
| no way you are touching this Valentine! |
The Valentines come with little (not even 1" square) temporary tattoos with similar pictures (no words on the tattoos). Of course, most of the tattoos are being used for us, rather than being placed in the little "A TATTOO FOR YOU" slots on the cards...but that's the point, right?
Leo needs re-fresher tattoos every day, as soon as the old ones wear off, and (of course), if you give a mouse a cookie, Daniel is going to want one too.
They even got their Mom to get one!

| I added the arrow so you can see the tattoo. I had to put it on my arm (instead of the back of my hand, like the boyos) so it wouldn't show on nurse visits. Somehow I think my patients might see Ninja Turtle body art as less than convincing of my medical abilities...;) |
I would add a picture here of Leo & Daniel with their tats, but they refused to be captured by the paparazzi. Le sigh.
Meanwhile, Kelly @This A'int the Lyceum (that awesome mom who's running 5Ks to raise money to support charites for SMA) wrote a post the other day about gathering sponsorships in order to attend the Edel Gathering, a retreat for moms put together by the famous Jen of Conversion Diary and Hallie of Moxie Wife.
Anyways, in her post, Kelly flaunts a brand new "tattoo" she got of Hallie/Moxie wife, basically right on her chest. It was epic. I'd put the picture here, but my blog is rated G+. (kidding...really kidding!)
SO, I commented to Kelly that the tattoo was *the* best, and she wrote back to me that "for the right price" The Hopeful Starfish COULD CLAIM HER RIGHT BICEP!!! I dropped everything immediately to work on the design. Here's what I have so far:

...it occurs to me that some folks may not know the story behind my blog's title...so, don't hold your breath, but I think I'll write something about it soon.
Also coming soon:

That tattoo would look great on my bicep of steel. And you're lucky, I'm offering a special today, all advertising is 1/2 off the regular price. Only 10lbs of bacon required to share in the epic.
