This little pink beary pinkeep is off to meet Kathy of country chintz!
Kathy won her in my 300th post give away..
I finally just finished her and I will hopefully get her in the mail with in the next couple days!


and speaking of bears.. look what frannie and figgy did to this little bear! I found her here when I came home from work..
You know what that means?? It means they are getting into my things when I'm not at home..
and, isnt it funny that they park all their toys by their food dish everyday!?

And since were talking about bears at the moment.. let me introduce you to boo boo, my newest little halloween bear. I made two of them! One is a gift for someone, and this one I have to keep for myself! I am thinking of making another to put in my etsy shop.. (that no one knows exists!) Do you think he's cute?

I was going to show you a few things that i've recieved in the mail, from Elizabeth of creative breathing and also from Cindy at thimbleprims, but I think I'll save them for my next post!

So, I have just one thing left for today..

I may have mentioned that I'm trying to lose some weight..

well I had lost 3.5 lbs.. then I fell off the wagon and ate all weekend and gained back 2 lbs! I cant help it.. I like to eat! and I like to eat JUNK!!!

in fact I could just live on junk..

and look what I found!!

these 100 calorie packs.....

i was thinking..

If I was trying to eat only 1200 cals a day,

then I could eat one pack of these every hour for 12 hours!

ha!

a hostess cupcake and twinkie diet!

now thats living!

the reason for my last post!

haha.. thanks for the comments on my last post. Yes, I was really angry at the time! My son is almost 21 and is living at home and sometimes just has these crazy ideas..who knows, I probably was over reacting. He bought a couch and a love seat and was wanting to put them upstairs.. Our house is very old and the stair way is very narrow and it turns towards the top, I didnt think it was going to fit, he was trying to move it himself, no one else was home and I was sure he was going to hurt himself and get it wedged in the stairway! so I helped cause I thought I would save him from himself.. In anycase we ended up screaming at each other. i thought he should have called a friend to come help him and lucky for him, one of his buddies showed up and took over for me... They did get the darn thing stuck in his doorway and god only knows how they got it through.. there was a lot of banging going on.. He has two rooms up there, and he was trying to put together a little living room area for himself. which is fine.. but he also needed to clean up the bigger room first, which he didnt do, so when I went upstairs afterwords and saw the disaster.. I was even more ticked off! So, that is why I said that I know why mother animals eat their young!
so thats all girls.. I'm over it now.. except that that room does need to be taken care of! I may just end up doing it myself, and someone or someones will be sorry if I do!
I have things to show you.. hopefully tomorrow!
good night!

arg!

I know why mother animals eat their young!

its someones birthday today!

♥Happy Birthday Raggedy Ann♥

IN honor of Raggedy Anns birthday,

Faerie Wysperer is hosting a birthday party for her!
Besure to stop by there and see what she has in store!

I thought Id join in the fun as I LOVE raggedy Ann! I have a bunch of them at home and a bunch more at work.. that I forgot to take pics of before leaving there on friday! The ones at work are mostly all gifts from secret pals! These at home are mostly ones that I made! With a few exceptions.

The really sweet one below, I did not make.. but she is one of my very favoritest and also one of the tiniest!

This is another of my favorites that I did make.

So, enjoy the Raggedy pics..

These two, of course are Barbies little friends.. kelly and I dont know the boys name!

This one I recieved in a swap from Aunt Pitty Pat!

Wow! are these little tinys dusty!!! they look hairy! guess i will be doing some dusting today!

Thats all for now .. some day I'll post pictures of my office annies!

♥♥Happy Birthday dear raggedy ann ♥♥

I'll drink to that!

I'm doing the happy dance cause its the weekend! yay!!!! and.. its of course a 3 day weekend for us in the states.. labor day weekend. We are supposed to have perfect weather the next three days as well. The only unperfect thing about it, is this is the last weekend of summer. that is a little sad. Dont get me wrong.. I LOVE Fall... the problem is what comes after it. I dont mind winter until after new years eve.. then its really just getting started and Im done with it !
Jennifer and I went out bottle hunting last weekend and found a bunch of old ones.. we did a little mother daughter swap. I altered a bunch of her bottles and she is working on a halloween book for me! I think I got the better side of this deal! but she loved her bottles. We didnt do all of them, some of them were pretty sweet all by themselves. I havent seen them all together yet, the altered and unaltered.

I've been busy working on some swap things.. pinkeeps, shadow box.. ornaments.. and a special one to one swap between me and kecia. Halloween is in the air! My head gets so filled up with ideas for things to create, that I swear I'm going to burst.. and half of it will never get made because there isnt enough time!!!!!!!!!

I also have some things to show you that I recieved in the mail! but.. my camera batteries are dead this morning.. I will post them later though. I dont know how many of you know Elizabeth from creative breathing.. (whom I can tell you I adore!) I recieved my block from her block party and it is soooo wonderfully adorable! I also recieved a little tag book from her with pictures of some of the sweet blocks that she made for others. Im just tickled to have it! thanks Elizabeth!

I havent mentioned here yet, I dont think, that I'm going to the Country Living Fair in Columbus OHIo in two weeks. I'm so excieted about going. I'll be going with my sweet friend Brenda and also with Natalea from Kandeland and Jenny from be cheery! Just going is excieting enough, but I'm also going to be meeting Kecia of lemoncholys there, she will be a vender. Ive been talking to Kecia on line for a quite a while and have done some swaps with her I'm so happy that I'm going to be able to meet her. And we'll also be meeting Elizabeth from creative breathing! Its just going to be so much fun.. Plus.. Earth Angels will have a big tent set up.. I am really looking forward to that.. I know I'll be dropping some money in there!

Did I also tell you that my daughter and I have registered for Lisa kettells Art OPera in april! I'm really looking forward to that as well!

As for this weekend though, today.. its blogging, finishing a bear, grocery shopping and to the beach with a couple of girlfriends!

Then tonight probably working on some projects.

Tomorrow I will most likely putter and create.. then Monday.. a Labor day picnic at the lake of course!

Are you still with me?? this is kind of long and rambly! well, I must be off, there is a special little project waiting for me.. and I'm hungry!

(lost 3.5 pounds by the way!.. umm.. only gained back 1!!) must behave! must behave! must behave! (trying to brainwash myself!)

have a happy saturday.. or a wonderful weekend really!

hugs!
