I bet this is the first time that you have seen camoflauge pencils decorated with Nazi Swastikas and drops of fake blood (it's actually red nail polish)! I would even be willing to bet that these are the only camoflauge pencils decorated with Swastikas and blood that you could find in the entire world!! My friend Heather and I are getting ready for our big Oscar party tomorrow night. We are using the 10 nominated movies as our "theme" and are trying to pull in as many ideas from these movies as possible. These pencils, as strange and twisted as they may be, represent Inglourious Basterds. It was a strange and twisted movie, so they're a good fit!
Heather and I have decided that we make the perfect party planning pair. She loves to come up with games and fun food, and I love to come up with crafty, creative ideas. We've had so much fun planning and coming up with ideas based on these movies. Some of our ideas may be a little out there (see picture above!), but it's going to be so much fun to see everything come together for our party tomorrow night.
Last night I watched A Serious Man, so I've now seen 9 out of the 10 nominated movies! And just so you know, I'm hoping that The Hurt Locker wins Best Picture...we'll see what happens in about 24 hours!
The Oscar party went really well tonight. Heather, my co-planner, was also the winner of the grand prize...this lovely golden statue, which she won for guessing the most correct winners.

Since the temperature was close to 50 degrees today, Audrey and I took a quick little trip to the park with the Lanters this afternoon to enjoy the slightly warmer weather. First we stopped to feed the ducks at the pond. There were so many ducks...and Audrey said hi to each one of them! The ducks are definitely not afraid of people, and they come up out of the water and walk all around everyone. I wish I had a picture of Audrey feeding the ducks, but I couldn't let go of Audrey. I am pretty sure that she would have 1. tried to pet the ducks or 2. walked right into the pond or possibly she would have done both. So I was trying to take pictures with one hand and hold onto Audrey with the other hand...this one was the best duck picture that I got.
Today I made a big Spring Cleaning to do list, and it ended up being 4 pages long. I went room by room and wrote down all the things that needed to be cleaned, plus all the things that we would like to fix/replace/remodel. 
And the Oscar movie countdown continues...I crossed movie number 8 off my list tonight, District 9. I'm not sure that I can really say that I watched it, but the entire movie played while I was in the room. I just couldn't get into this "documentary" about aliens in a giant flying saucer infiltrating our world.
