some good news...

soon, I will be able to do this again...
the guys had homemade pizza for supper last night...

while I worked on these...

and then this morning we headed for Paris and the surgeon's office...

I was ready to fire him and find someone else...

but he spent an hour with us and we have a new time...

we are going in for surgery next Wednesday...
and the gall bladder is coming out...

so after we got home, and since DH took the day off...

I had him take me for a ride while my tummy wasn't so sore...
but it expanded so much while we were driving around...
I am tired of the bloating...

we have several days of flurries here...
gray cloudy skies and flurries here and there...
nothing adding up right now...

but as we backed out of the drive way this morning...
I prayed for safe travel...
there and back...
on the way...
on the highway...
a pickup pulled out right in front of us...
slowly with no clue we were there...
and just sat there...
but we missed him...
for angels flew with us today...
;)
you know they are there even when you can't see them...
the car went from 60 to 20 on wet pavement in nothing flat...
;)
so, how was your day?

in the middle of the night...

I am thinking I need to do something about this addiction...

but it is keeping me busy until my body catches back up...

I think I may have to start giving some things away soon...

hope you all have a good day...

even with winter all around us...

we need our warm, sunny spots...

just to curl up in and enjoy...
find your sunspot today...
and linger...
it will do you good!
;)

where this woman creates...

I do my work right here at the kitchen table...

and its where I blog from, too...

got 9 little tags to put on the Easter tree...

and then a bigger one for the wall...

found some buttons...

I like him...

so here is the chaos that happens when I make things...
nothing glamorous going on here...

and your thought for the day...

having a so/so day...
the nausea medicine makes me feel funny...
I haven't taken any today, just waiting for it to wear off...
it seems like this stuff stays with me forever...

need prayers for a family here in town today...
Steve saw a home on fire on the way to work this morning...
and elderly lady, Louise, died in the fire...
her daughter just buried her husband last year...
and her granddaughter has lost her father and grandmother in such a short time...
they both helped with Christmas Is A Child and were such wonderful support for the program...
they could use all the prayers you can muster up for them as they continue through the week...
its just such a shock...
oh, yeah...
Louise will be walking on streets of gold...
no worries there...
she helped so many and sang in church...
hugs~

sniffing glue????

some people have said, after the last post...
that I might sniff glue in the middle of the night and that would lead to me being a bit batty...

well, I am here to set the record straight...
once and for all!
LOL

I only use elmer's glue and glue sticks and hot glue...
and mod podge...
my glue has no fumes...
the only thing I sniff is chocolate...
because I have 3 (count them), 3 phobias...
1-snakes...
nuff said on that...
2-glitter...
everyone knows this...
3-glue that requires the ER and/or skin graphs to get me unattached from myself or some other object...
I do not use super glue, gorilla glue, any epoxies...
nope, not here...
so there you go...

been working on these tags to hang on the easter tree...
got more to do on them but the base is done...

so how did you spend your Monday???
we got up to 42, so I did get out for a walk...
still sore...
still on the nausea meds...
still so bloated...
I think I am calling tomorrow to see what the hold up is...
hugs!

did you ever wonder what happens here after midnight?

well, let me show you...

its a funny thing how the quiet helps you create...

when everyone else is sleeping...

no phone ringing...

no one stopping by...

I get into my drawers when the moon is high...

and things fall into place...

I like my solitude...
and I love my little drawers that hold all the fun...
close to get into it...
and start playing...

I will never be too old to play...
I will go out of this world gluing something...
even if its only my dentures...
;)
go- create...

mini shopping spree...

its got to start with grass...
green grass...
you know they have all colors, but that's just not right...
I want green grass...

and then I hit the 97 cent bins again...
and snagged some more play stuff...

I have plenty of card blanks now with what I got last time...

a couple more stamps...
since the others worked really well...
I was totally surprised at the quality...

I got some of these, too...
I think they will be fun...

they had really sold a lot since last week and were down to almost nothing...
I am hoping they start filling those bins again with easter themed items...
bunny stamps and eggs and things...
maybe pretty crosses and easter lilies...

of course on the way home, there was another stop...

and I just had to show you these...
my new bloomers...
not the kind of bloomers I would like to be buying...
but they are fun anyway...
so take a good look...
its the last time you will see them...
I would model them...
but then I would lose my followers...
the good ones, anyway...

so what do you pick up besides toilet paper, tooth paste and hershey bars?

while the weather outside was frightful...

playing inside was quite delightful...
come see...

we had gotten a large loaf of french bread at wally world in a paper bag...
well, that thing went stale quick, so I broke it up and threw it out in the yard yesterday...
and guess who showed up for dinner yesterday?

about half of what we got is gone...
but what was left and the slush froze hard tonight...

if it doesn't all melt today, it will on Sunday...

I still have my faithful friends who come every day...

should have made a snowman...
oh, well...

so I did a couple of quick walks outside and then back in...

tried out my new stamps...

and got the boxes coated with mod podge...
waiting for them to dry before the last and final touches go on...

so I dug out the easter box...
you know the one...

the one that holds all the fun things...

things that go on the tree...

some familiar faces were in that box...

its hard to believe its been a year since we have seen them...

and this little guy came from my bestie...
and I get to use him a lot more this year...

I need to unpluck the tree of the Valentine things...
move it into the living room...
and start all over on it...
should be fun...
and here's a small taste of things to come...




;)
gotta love a bunny with floppy ears...
