Inky-Dinky-Do Blog

Relay for Life is tomorrow!

We want to invite anyone out to come by campsite #230 the inky-dinky-do campsite to stop by and say hi!  We can't wait to see everyone this year and have a great time.  We will be wearing our Girls Giving Back shirts of course!  Stop by and say hi and visit for awhile.

I have to give a special thanks to Damien Wolff who has really taken care of our team this year.  We are co- captains, but Damien has really done everything for our team!  He let me focus on the Girls Giving Back and that was great!  Thanks again Damien!

St. Francis attends the Track Meet

Today was a crazy day following the Girls Giving Back.  I actually spent the day with some crazy young ladies from St. Francis.  Yes, Madison decided to give track a try this year.  So of course we had lots of fun watching the different events.  We decided we had to share some of the images I caught today while I was being just another Mom at a track meet!

 

The only way to them all was to do a little video.  So let's check it out! (yes, you can add the video to your own website- of course a link back is always appreciated guys.)

Happy, Exhausted, and now moving!

Boutique moving... not the studio!

We will post more later about Girls Giving Back, which was fabulous!  For now just posting a quick note that we are moving the boutique this weekend (I know, no rest for the wicked they say...).  So we might be experiencing some down time on the phones.  Angela will be answering calls on Monday.  The boutique is closed Monday-Wednesday to allow us to get everything in a proper place.  (or at least stacked up orderly where you don't see it!)
Best method of reaching us will be email over the weekend, but please know with last night & the move it might take a couple days before we get back to you!  We still love you all, we just are burried at the moment!

Thanks again for a great time everyone last night & I will post photos later this weekend!

Can't wait to see everyone tonight!

Congratulations to a fromer groom...Seamus Dever

We just had to share great news....
Seamus Dever one of our former grooms, and all around handsome & nice guy, landed the roll of Dr. Ian Devlin on General Hospital.  We know ladies he is dreamy, but don't waste your time... his wife Julie is stunning, sweet and a nice person even!  I know it hardly seems fair, but she is.  We had such a great time with them at their wedding last year.  They had a touching ceremony complete with flower girls....errr flower dogs..... bearing floral wreaths.  Too sweet.   Some of you may recognize Seamus from some rolls on CSI, Without a Trace, NCIS, Hollywoodland,  and some theater & Indie films.  We like to joke that he is usually the last guy to have sex with the lady that is now dead <insert sinister and suspicious music here>.   

inky-dinky-do was very pleased to have recorded their wedding day...

You can catch his latest interview on TVbuddy. Click here.

Congratulations again Seamus from all of us at inky-dinky-do! 

However, thanks for giving my girls an excuse to watch soap operas at work!  You know they will say it is for the good of my clients now! 

April... the prefect time to swim

Well this weekend warmed up so the kids had a couple friends over to go swimming and of course play a little Rockband!

Breanna, Madi & Stacia.

I don't care what Madi & Stacia say- that had to be cold!

Victoria and Dominic were already swiming and splashing around. 

Madi & Stacia have been friends for years.  Madi asked the other day how Paula and I met... had to think for a few and realized that Paula was a client that became a great friend.  Our kids ended up friends and years later we all feel blessed.  It was funny to think of some of my best friends I've met because of work, no wonder I love my job- I have great clients/ friends! 

Happy Easter!

We just wanted to wish everyone a Blessed Easter and we hope everybody has lots of time with family and friends today.

Of course we had to share since we caught the Easter Bunny at the studio... no it wasn't Blizzard our bunny...

See we even caught her red handed stealing carrots!

Thanks Miss Layla!  You gave us all a good laugh!

At night at the sock hop

Madison and friends danced the night away at the sock hop for cotillion tonight.  Decked out in 50's garb and sipping coke from old coke bottles they had a blast.  Lauren and Alex won the musical chairs competition which was more "athletic" than one might think.  Of course I had to grab a camera on the way out the door and play a little.  :)  Alex, Brock, Avery, Lauren, Madison... you guys all looked great! 

The Bionic Me

A couple people have asked about the latest surgery so I thought I'd share the cool xray.  Dr. Hartman was very cool about pointing out those impressive 3 inch titanium screws.  So I now have lots of hardware going on.  Luckily, between the knees and the feet titanium doesn't set off the metal detectors at the airport!

I will spare you the photos of the foot after the cast came off.  Let's just say the kids call it frankenfoot. 

The real question now is why I don't make that cool sound when I walk like the bionic woman?

Happy Valentines Day....

There is only one Valentine for me... my wonderful husband Mike. I couldn't imagine a better Valentine.
