Is the F-word in your life????

NO!!!! LOL I am not talking about "that F-word"!!!!!!

I'm talking about FUN!!!!!!!
What was the last thing that you did that made you laugh so hard that your sides hurt and you had tears roll down your cheeks? What was the last thing that when you just barely start mention of it with your friends that you all loose your breath from laughing so hard?
What is a special "secret" that you do?
Is it so far in the past that its a struggle to even recall?
WHY?

Why are you not EVERY DAY making memories that will instantly make you smile upon thinking of them?

They don't have to be something grand and expensive........ they just need to make you smile!

*Paint your toenails a FUNKY color...... even use SPARKLES!
*Get a new haircut....you know you need one and it will make ya smile!
*Buy a package of fake tattoos and place them in "fun" spots for folks to see and discover! heehee
*Buy a cone of ice cream in something you'd usually never buy..... try TIGER TAIL!

COME ON! DO SOMETHING SIMPLE AND FUN!!!!

Folks are awake now......

Well seems the rest of the household is now up and about this morning. Going to head downstairs and have a bit for breakfast and do my time on the treadmill(Thanks Sis....loving that!) and then get cracking on some work today. If I get enough done, I'll find the camera and add some pictures of some of the newest creations!

Have a great day!
Stop back soon....you never know what or WHO I'll blog about next!

Antique drawers for display



Going to be using these antique drawers as part of my craft show table displays. They were up in the rafters of my grandmothers barn when she sold her house. They had come from the drugstore that my grandparents had owned. The cabinet is long gone but these were too cool to leave behind. I knew someday that I'd use them.

I can't wait to place some primitive fixens in the bottom and then some dolls and misc other goodies in them.

Will make sure that pictures are taken of the tables at the show so that you can see how it all looked.

Where is my paper bag??????

I need my paper bag to be breathing into!!!!!!!!
My first ever craft show is happening just around the corner and I am really getting nervous!LOL
Been sewing, stuffing and staining like a mad woman hoping to creating enough goodies for the 3 day show. Having no idea what a show is like....have no idea just how much stuff I should have made! ACK!
Have some small items that need to get worked on today as well.....some tags and business cards; ornies; bookmarks. My head just starts to swim at the thought of it all.
My sister is also taking part in the show with me. She has been painting everything she can lay her hands on!LOL
Eric is taking time off work and helping us that weekend as well. (Time off cause it starts on a friday) He will be hauling all our stuff into the building and helping us set up. He's so good to me!
There will be pictures taken of the whole set up and the show in general:)

Graff Brothers.............. oh yeah!

http://www.graffbros.com/

On the weekend Eric took me to Graff Brothers. We hadn't been in awhile and you can just never tell what goodie you might find there. I ended up with a jar of rusty square nails and an antique banister with all the spindles that had been torn down from an Acadian home.
Those spindles are beyond perfect for my "spindle dolls" and I can't wait to make some today.
Ran a dust cloth over the spindles this morning to get rid of any cobwebs that were attached.
The color and the style of them is so prim.
Make sure to keep your eye out on my website...... you'll be seeing them soon!

Is that really what I see????

The skies have been overcast and grey but this morning the sun is trying so hard to push thru the clouds. Oh having sunshine stream across my room today while I'm sewing and stuffing sure would help my mood!LOL
Not to mention I could use the sun's help in drying my dolls that I have to stain today!LOL
