last chance to get in the snowman swap

OK folks.. its the last day to sign up.. right now there are 27 of us. There is one person who has not sent her address.. I'm hoping to hear from her today. We could use at least one more player.. so if your straggling out there.. nows your chance.. if we dont get another person, I will do two. So tonight I will match up partners by means of having my kids pick numbers each person has a number (the order they signed up) I will start with no#1 and have the kids choose a number between 2 and 27.. etc., until all are matched! that'll be pretty random I think.

OK.. so any one else? nows your chance.

I'm really happy about the turn out weve gotten for this swap! there are a few who dont have blog sites, but who are going to email me their pictures so I can post them here. It'll all be good! I'm excieted.

I think I have all the other swaps I'm in just about done. I did my altered stocking, my pink ornaments, my garland, my 12 days of christmas, I just have to make my snowmen, and also I have another stocking swap with TIni.

I also have orders for about 30 memory bears.. and a minature horse.. Hoping to make a lot of headway this weekend on those.. I have to get those done.. thats christmas money!

I'll check in later.. toodles!

snowman ornament swap

Hello! this entry is regarding the snowman ornament swap that I'm hosting. some of us here in NY got snow today! we didnt get any here, but only 45/50 miles from here, it got very nasty! I dont mind winter it I dont have to go anywhere.. but Im so not ready for snow yet!!!
anyways...
At this time there are 23 snowgirls signed up! There are several that have not sent me their information.. I need your addresses ladies, so please if you havent yet sent them to me, please do so soon. I'm excieted that so many people are wanting to make snowmen with me! this should be a fun swap.
the guidelines are..you must create a snowman or snow woman ornament, what ever size you want to make it.. remember though it is an ornament to hang on a christmas tree, so not too big! You can make him from what ever medium you enjoy working with. the most important rule.. He must make us all smile !!
snowman are to be sent to your partners by December 5th. We will all enjoy having our swapped buddies to hang on our trees and to enjoy through the season!
I will post the list of participants and annouce partners either on friday or saturday this week.
in the meantime, if you havent already sent me your information be sure to do so now!
any questions you can email me at vivianneroni@yahoo.com
I'm starting my ornament tomorrow!

naughty baby / crazy for you

These are clips of my daughter singing "Naughty Baby" She played the role of Irene in "Crazy for you" the past two weekends with the lake plains players. She just cracks me up.. Dont let the fact that there are 4 of these worry you.. the reason is that I am a dope and kept letting go of the silly button on the camera and then having to reset it and start over! DUH!!!

anyways.. enjoy! I cant watch with out cracking up!

(you will need to scroll way down to the music box on my blog and click on the first little button twice to shut that off so you can hear the videos!)

OH what a night that halloween night was! I tricked or treated until late late late... right here on the computer. In fact I woke up yesterday morning and was quite sure that I had a hang over from too much of that witches brew someone was serving! what an awesome bunch of bloggers I visited! so many creative witches and ghouls all hanging out for an evening of visiting! That was the treat.. this is what I like about this blogging.. I have found so many people that love to live and create like I do! and who like to share their creative minds and homes and arts with others.. I really think there isnt much I prefer to do more then see the art work that others create in their lives.. well, accept to create myself.. cause, if you know me at all, you know that is an obsession. I think that people who are artistic have to create.. its like oxygen.. you need it to survive! I know its that way for me..

well anyways.. l love all these blogs.

OH and the winner is (drum roll please!) Roam2Rome . As soon as I have her address I will be sending a sweet little something out to her!
I also won something on halloween night from Kari at the www.artsymama.blogspot.com! Yay! I love to win things!
Well.. my time this morning is limited.. I have to go be a social worker for 8 hours.. then!
YAY!! ITS THE WEEKEND!! oH HOW i LOVE THE WEEKENDS!
