Fun!

I found this cute background that I think matches nicely with the banner. I am having fun playing with the blog and getting it just right.
If your reading my blog, please leave a comment. Follow me too! It's okay I won't lead you astray!
I hope your weekend is fun! I am going to do some sewing and fixing up in my studio. I hope to have the studio all done by Sunday night.
Stay tuned for updates..

What happened!?

I don't know what happened but my blog is "out of sorts".
Pictures are not showing up, background gone... I will work on this tonight (I HOPE).
Should look better tomorrow.

Listen to BLOG Tunes

Different.. I like DIFFERENT!

I can't believe it has been so long since I have written... I am so sorry!
I will try to be more attentive. I promise.

So an update:
hmm... not much...
Oh, I no longer have television. Well I have A television but no cable. I only get the weather channel. I figure, I am never watching it, if I do watch it, I don't get anything else done, and I am really not happy with the choice in programing... SO I gave it up! Not really much of a sacrifice I must say. It has been 2 weeks and my house is clean, projects (some) finished, and a bunch of magazines read. I read before I sleep, helps me to relax and much better dreams!
I listen to the radio on line! THAT is fun! I find new music and comedy and talk! So no reason to pay for cable.

I am sad that I did something to my blog that messed up my background! I will work on it this week and hopefully get it back to something pretty...

The title of this post is Different. Well as you can see I am different. I don't have cable tv. My blog is different (not intentionally) and I am unique! Ask EVERYONE who knows me. I think different. I just cant conform. It HURTS when I try to!! lol! I guess my brain is just "hot" wired and I LIKE IT!!

Notice in my artwork, aprons and writings.. its not cookie cutter. I like all the popular and common scrapbook items out there. The "branded" and designer (if you will) stuff is all great and good and even pretty but .. for me (YAWN) boring! Where is YOUR imagination? Sure you put your own color on something but that's about it. How about hunting for the items you put on your creations? Anyone can (and everyone does) buy the stuff prepackaged! I guess this is just my little boycott of SAMENESS.

Okay I am stepping off my soap box!

I went to Whole Foods tonight (some say Whole Paycheck) and got the most delicious spring rolls yumm!!

I will post more soon and I promise MORE PICTURES!!

Pictures are POSTED!

Hi!

Okay I did it! I posted the pics I have been promising!
Check them out by clicking the very top picture on the right side.
There will be a slide show of my pics!
Please let me know what you think!
Hope everyone has a happy Sunday!

DING DONG.. AVON CALLING!!

How exciting! I am now an AVON LADY! I know I know.. it's Avon REPRESENTATIVE but hey I love things old fashioned... I'M AN AVON LADY!!!

Check out my own personal website for Avon.. place an order, browse the catalog, see whats new (and there is a lot new!) order a valentine gift!
Avon has REALLY come a long way! Did you know that they have PATENTS on some of their skin care products? When those patents are up the MAJOR cosmetic companies (you know the ones that are in stores like DILLARD'S, MACY'S etc) they then take the formulas and recreate them and sell them as their own!! THAT'S how GREAT Avon products are! AND whats better .. they are not $120 a jar!
So check it out and thanks in advance for helping me become my own business!!

Wonderful! Simply WONDERFUL!
I am so happy to report that I was able to attend 2nd Fridays in Historic Downtown MESA! What a fun time! There was such great ENERGY in the air!
I got to Mystic Paper http://www.mysticpaper.com/ JUST in the nick of time! Of course I parked in the back of the store. Well not IN the back of the store, but you know what I mean. I went in through the back door and up to the front ... just as they were starting the ATC trade!~ Talk about timing! I made my 6 Elvis themed ATC's all in 45 minutes(this includes finding the proper pictures to use!) and if you know me then you know 45 minutes for 6 ATCs is FAST!
I was lucky to receive some beautiful cards in the swap! Such talented ladies we all are!
I am sad to say that I don't have any pictures. Some day I will get a camera that works!!!! Maybe for my birthday.. hint hint!

I was also able to make it into Domestic Bliss!! I have been wanting to go there FOREVER! It is a wonderfully girlie place! I just want one of everything they have.. well as I told the gal that was working there, I'll just move in there and that will be that! lol!

Such pretty things! But can the mere mortal that is I ever have a home that is all this? Yes and I will to the best of my ability! I WILL DO IT! I am thankful for everything I have and every opportunity I am given!
Are you?

Have a day that is full of blessings no matter how small (even if it is just the fact that you HAVE a DAY~!)
