<br />
<font size="3">We are heading north to Spokane this weekend for the most fab show ever. We went last year and had the best time. So many great vendors and the people... Crowds of people, but the amazing thing is I don't remember one single crabby person. Everyone is so nice. Its like a big party!<br />
<br />
Kim at <a href="http://campwhimsy.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/04/make-a-blog-badge-for-the-farm-chicks-show.html ">Camp Whimsy</a> came up with the brilliant idea to make blog badges, so we could pick each other out. Even though Angie and I are pretty new to the bloggy world we thought why not. After seeing what an awesome job<a href="http://agirlnamedtimi.blogspot.com/ "> Timi</a> did we just had to. <br />
<br />
SOOOOOOOOOO..... Here are our blog badges...<br />

<br />
Angie's is the brown & pink and mine is the all brown. Some may say that her's is pink because she is way sweet & mine is all brown because I'm full of sh.... Never mind,its not true. No matter what our husbands say! The lie!!!!<br />
<br />
Hope you see you there. It is so worth it!<br />
