76th post, 7 more facts...

helloo out there!

can you believe this is my 76th post here!? It seems like just yesterday I was emailing Debra Schoch back and forth trying to figure out how to do this bloggy stuff.. I had/have a live journal for over a year prior, but it is different! Anyways.. wow..here I still am.. I must post a lot! Im amazed that anyone really reads what I write, as I really dont find myself all that interesting.. but I'm so glad that people do read as what would the sense be in being here if no one did!!!

So anyways.. I got tagged again by cathy at countrychintz..

so here are 7 little known facts about me....

1) I get the hic-burps almost daily! they are loud and embarrassing!

2) I listen to mostly 70's music and big band music...

3) I took piano lessons for ALOT of years and also took violin lessons for a short time.. cant play either and can barely read music now!!

4) I have over 174 (mostly miniature) teddy bears and their friends just in my living room alone! though you would never know there were that many if you were here.

5) I love brussel sprots!!

6) I hate talking on the phone!

7) I love having company.. I love having little tea partys.. and just sitting around with friends gabbing and EATING! or crafting!

So there you have it, 7 more facts about me..

well my hubby is scrounging around in the kitchen looking for food... There are left overs from ham dinner last night.. I suppose I should go help him!

after that I have to work on a miniature bear. I have two little friends coming over tomorrow night after work to learn how to make a miniature bear. I gave them home work tonight to get them started!

have a lovely evening!

list of doll swappers and Ive been tagged

Hello blog friends!
This is a doll I made a couple years ago after seeing something similiar (though much much better then mine!!) in a magazine. I call her my snow faerie girl.
I'm home today. I've had a funky little headache all day. the weather is rotten and I had a sore throat this morning too.. so I called in. I dont think my supervisor believed me, because she knows how much I hate to drive in crappy weather, but the weather had very little to do with my decision to stay home! I've probably about overdosed on tylenol, but my head still feels like its underwater and my eyes are bugging me. Oh well.. cant spend too much time thinking about feeling crappy.. I've been trying to make the most of my day home and have been working on my dolls!

I was thinking that I should post the names of the girls in the doll swap. I was going to do that last week and never did, but maybe you would like to see who all has joined in the doll making fun!

There are a few who either dont have a blog or I dont have their blog address, but I'll give you what I've got. We really just have the best group of doll makers!

oops... wait a minute..

I forgot I was tagged by Catie of I think I have to tell you a bunch of things about myself and then tag some others to do the same!

Ok.. 5 things your dying to know about me...

1) Im really a princess and was switched at birth! I know this because I can feel it in my soul.. in my bones.. in my... oh never mind!.. I just know it, because I can sense that I'm supposed be living in a castle or mansion, with a maid, a cook, a driver, a gardener and a handsome pool boy!

2) I'm obsessed with tiny things! mostly bears and dolls and teasets! and magazines.. but not tiny magazines! well, and I am also obsessed with making things!

3) If I am around a litter of kittens, I NEED to hold them all at once and breath them and I love them so much they make me cry! (I dont know why!)

4) I can not talk on the phone with out doodling all over something.. I waste a lot of paper at work!

5) My favorite place to be ever, is on the beach! I crave it all summer long.. another princess thing.. I'm supposed to have a beautiful beach house!

OK.... thats that.. now I have to tag some of you.. I choose...

Have a lovely afternoon all you lovely ladies!!

Dolls dolls dolls! I picked up this magazine because it had this article about Nancy Anns in it.. I love nancy anns. I have two, I want more! and I would love one of these new ones. I went on line and looked them up, they're 89.00... anyone want to buy me a present! haha... yeah, I couldnt convince my kids or husband either! I could get a few old ones for that price anyways.. but they sure are cute! So while I was looking for a picture of my nancy anns, (I only have a pic of one.. and too am lazy to take and download another pic tonight!) I also saw these pictures.. some have the same dolls in them, but arent they soooo adorable?! I love tiny dolls!! anyways, thought I'd share these pics.

Then theres this picture.. these are what i've been working on the past few days.. no wheres near done yet.. I'll post when theyre finished! the next picture down is more of some projects that I have started! someday i may get to finish them!

Dolly update! I have heard back from all but 5 of you letting me know youve gotten my email and contacted your partners! please if your one of the 5, touch base with me. thank you for being such great swapper girls!!

ok.. must go back to my crafting area (my kitchen!) and work on something before i take my before i go to bed nap!!!

Enjoy the rest of the week girls! I wish I could stay home and play.. but I have to go to work.. lots of bad boys to contend with !

obsessing now.. over nancy anns... maybe they will be in my dreams tonight! seriously do any of you ever dream about cute little dolls and bears!? I do! Then I wake up and want to create them, or wish I could create them! Once I dreamed I was on Oprah and she gave me this box of the most precious little dolls! then I woke up... and was so disappointed it wasnt real!

night girlies! Sweet dreams!!!!

SO LET THE DOLL SWAP BEGIN!

So girls, we have 27 swappers in all! 27 very talented , creative and beautiful woman! yup thats us! talented! creative! and beautious!!

The rules are... you have made a committment.. please do not let your partners down. put your heart into creating something especially sweet for your wonderful partner! if for some reason you suddenly find that you cant honor your committment contact me immediately so I can make sure your partner does not end up disappointed. I wouldnt make such a big deal about this except that I hosted a swap recently where a few people did not follow through! this has caused me to look over our list of girls very carefully! But I must say that I trust all of you!!♥♥
We have until Feb 29th to complete and mail our dolls. I would love it for everyone to take a picture of themselves with the doll they make and then again with the doll they recieve! ( this is my swap right? I can make up any rules I want! hahahaha !) ok.. You dont really have to do that, but dont you think it would be nice? Like awesomely nice and it would make me happy.. (not that you care how happy I am.. but I do!!!)
Your doll can be made from any medium and should be between 9 and 15 inches.. (I think thats what I said before!)
(I'm thinking my next swap will be for miniatures under 6 inches.. stay tuned girlfriends! I can hardly contain myself now that I've thought it!!!! I have a serious obsession with tiny things! Oh dear I have gone off on a tangent!)
Remember my dears, its a beat the winter blues swap.. think cheerful ! sunshiney ! sweet! hmmm.. am I leaving anything out?
I hope everyone is happy with their partners! I am thrilled with mine! Everyone should be happy! I really think we have a very creative group.
Oh I just love you all!! ♥♥
(my Im just full of sap tonight arent I?)
have a lovely! leave me lots of messages! (at least let my know you got the email with your partners info!!)

dollyswap update.............

Do you like my valentine tree? I keep finding myself just standing in the kitchen loving it!!


Were doing good girls! there are 18 of us right now. I think I said I'd keep it going til the 23rd. so we're sure to get a couple more.

I just need to remind everyone, that i need your addresses, email addresses and blog addresses!

I bought some fabric yesterday to use for my doll. remember the theme.. sunshiney sweet! I will post everyones names and blog addresses here tomorrow, or will actually probably just add the rest to the previous post where I've already started.

Today I made two bears for a bear order.. they still need noses, bows and tags. I'll finish them in the morning and will post their pics sometime this week. I cleaned today too! And I made chicken and bisquits for dinner,yummy!

Tomorrow morning I'm having a little tea party! (yay! I'm off!) Just a few girlfriends coming over to chit chat and munch on sweet rolls and coffee cake. I'll be up early baking !

Look at these cookies my husband brought me this morning! isnt he sweet! He brought me two, and then he ate one! thats ok though.. cause I loves him!


NIGHT NIGHT!
