just a little sumthin'

i altered this clear acrylic cell phone cover this past week.  i entered it into a contest featuring Jenni Bowlin products. :)

 

 

   

 

 

hello.

i was browsing the net this morning and as usual, i ended up at Etsy.com. lol  i have layouts and altered projects in progress but i get easily distracted. :)  here are a few of my faves i found today;

larimeloom - this girl creates the most stryking pieces of clothing.  honestly, i wouldn't wear most of it as i don't feel i have the body for it but i am so drawn to her designs.  check her out!

oh, check the cutest knitted monkey flap hat out here...citefuzz designs.  those babes are sooo cute!  i have a new nephew coming so i might be selecting one of these quality hats.

i think i love the packaging as much as i do the pendant necklaces themselves...here at little.bluebird.studios!

lastly...this one brought back memories of my childhood.  i LOVED strawberry shortcake!  the name of this shop it just too cute also!  trunk of prettys

ok, i gotta get back to creating.  have fun browsing etsy. :)

SCORE.

i just got back from shopping at a great seasonal store that is open for the holidays.  they sell overstock fundraiser items and most everything in the warehouse is $1.39!!!  well, i had heard on the radio that they had scrap supplies this year but i figured they were off brand, kit pack type deals that wouldn't interest me....boy, was i WRONG!

i didn't buy half the items they had there...i was good as i was just there to pick up stocking stuffers and little gifty extras.  i can't believe i scored these 7 gypsies stamps for that price.

did i NEED them?  no.

will i USE them?  maybe.

could i have PASSED them up?  never. lol

 

  

  

 

A Christmas Story...

i did NOT know that the house where the movie "A Christmas Story" had been restored....let alone fairly close to me!!!!  just a couple hours away they have this great Museum, restored house where this fabulous movie was made.  thanks to Rach, she had the link on her bloggy.  now, to see if i can talk hubby into visiting there. :)

do you watch this movie during the holidays???? we sure do!!!!

fall photos.

i rounded the kiddos up (two, against their will, more so, lol) and took them to a park in our town that had lots of trees.  those make for a great backdrop and can't forget about the beautiful leaves they hold in multiple shades of colors.

i also am still learning my ps7 so the photos that were more blurry i played them up more.

  

 

 

i am proud.

to be an american...yeah, it sounds kinda corny to me to hear myself "say it" but I AM.  honestly, i have NEVER voted before in my life.  nope, never.  for 17 yrs. i've chose not to vote...because i didn't understand politics.  oh, i knew i could just walk into a voting booth and pick SOMEONE....but in my heart, i couldn't do it.  not blindly choose a person to fill such a big position.  i left it up to other's who seemed educated about political things, or so i assumed.

with this election i educated myself.  i was drawn to know everything i could about the canidates at hand.  at one point over these last couple months i sat back with amazment of the eagerness i have felt within me to know so much.  i still can't tell you where that came from.  i think a tiny bit of it stems from the fact that i am getting older, realizing i have to pave the way for BETTER things for the future of my children...their children.

i've never felt that my one voice can make a difference until now.

Halloween 08

was a great success!  the kiddos had fun and all ended with no fighting, being grouchy or falling asleep!  woohoo! lol  i made my two older children's costumes so i've added comparison photos of the characters so you get an idea of where i was going with this...

 

 

our town has business treating before the neighborhood treating so we made our way around our square.  at this point my older son left to walk with his buddies and my daughter decided she was too old to ask for candy...so my little guy was my photo subject for awhile. lol
