Happy Veteran's Day!

Thank you to our Military!
God Bless Them All!!

Tommy and Wilbur had a hard night I think

I wasn't sleeping so at 1 am I got up and came to my room to work on cards. Tommy was int he chair to my right and Wilbur in the computer chair on the left.

Once I had noticed they were just laying there watching me. So I rubbed their heads. I'd pet them each time I got up to get something.

Sometime before 7 am they went to sleep. Card making bored them! Don't they just look like they are passed out form a rough night! LOL

Meet Dave

Yeah, it's a Hermit Crab.
He's living in my room right now, but he's going to go live int he man Cave.
He really creeps me out! He isn't even as big as a golf ball!
The cats have no interest in it. Well, Wilbur wants to lay in his habitat under the light I put in for some heat.
I am not ready to turn on the furnace! LOL But I do not want to freeze this guy his first  week here.
I have touched it, but if he touched me I'd freak!
Lizards are so less creepy!
He needed a home and yo know me... he now has one!

Meet Chloe

Here she is walking around the store here.
The vet in our strip mall has had her in a cage for a couple of months now. She really needed a home.
she's 16 yrs old, fixed and declawed.
My co-worker Matt even had her purring. she loved him! He tried to take her, but his parnets would have probably made him homeless! LOL

The Vet's office closed at noon today and I work till 5, so this is a litter box the vet borrowed me while she is at work with me. She is only using it for a bed!

This pic was taken in the Vets office when I met her. Boy she is so crabby looking!

CoolBlog

You have got to see the candy Bar Wrappers she made for Halloween! OMG adorable!!

Pop on over to her blog and check out the details! Scrap With Stacy

Dresser Card

I wanted  ababy card for Carrie to use as her announcements so I searched SCS galleris. I come across the cutest little dresser card.
Got a tad bit side tracked on the baby card idea.. which turned out okay! She found premade cards and is sending them to me to assemble! Darn child!
I used aluminum foil for the mirror, turned out kinda cool!


Not sure why that drawer looks funny at the top. It looks fine sitting here. Some optical illusion in the  photo!

My New Area.

I took over the living room.. 

WOW! Can I spread out now!!

Standing by the front door looking int my room

Still standing by the front door looking to the left.. see my punches? They were the first things
I hung up!

The old Entertainment Center and 1 of the bookcases help make a wall between my room and the Dining room

Looking at the front door. See my very messy table int he center? Uff da! Well they do say a cluttered desk is the sign of a creative mind... ha ha
I took the blinds all down, boy did that brighten this room!

Oh I am so lazy!

Well I am now taking over the living room!

Clint is making my den-craft room into his Man Cave

I am making the living room into my craft room-den
We have them about half switched, I am washing the walls and scrubbing the floors as I go. The living room is hard wood flooring and the den is carpet.

I am also purging my stuff as I pack it up.

The LSS is having a Rummage Sale in November and I will put more unused stuff on there. anything with dust means I really don't need it. Besides the sale gives me store credit.

I'm still keeping up with my Christmas Card Challenge on SCS,

Hey there!

Didn't realize just how behind I am in updating this blog.

This Summer heat has my brains all mushy! LOL

Now for some odd reason I can not get pics to upload to my Blog.... well they are in my Splitcoast gallery
link is on the right.


Or you can go check them out here...

Clint got a puppy last week, her name is Missy
she is part Cocker Spaniel Shih Tzu and Poodle

She can walk under Joker.. that's hilarious! She is terrified of Wilbur and Tommy the big cat is scared of her.
Missy whines when Tommy moves and we're thinking that's what bothers him.
We have no idea how old Tommy is, he just showed up here one day. She chases after Zeus the got, but if he stops she runs and hides under the car.

I had such great intentions of getting pics on here today..  I do have another Shutterfly share site with pics... there is a link on the left, when you go look at the card site. It is called Just Vikki's
http://vikkijo.shutterfly.com/

I Love SHutterfly, I have no limit on the number of pics I can upload.
I have to go figure out what happened to Picaso next. :(

Look close.. momma is bringing breakfast.
I can get so close without disturbing them. It's awesome, I know they'll be gone soon. 
They really should consider an addition to this home!

Happy Graduation Brittany

I got told this morning at about 10 am that we needed a card today for a cousin. The party is at noon!
OMG! Seriously!? LOL

I totally CASED this one!

My friend Holly sent me a purse with a Top Note as the flap

The purse was a shorty so I tweaked that part to fit the poem I printed out.

There are magnets for the closure. One is hidden under the flower, the other is very visible once you open the purse.

 Paper: Blue Bazill Bling and Whisper White  
 Accessories: Top Note, Rhinestone Brad SU Gold Thread and a Paper Flower

Cards

 Happy Birthday Cameron! I found out after I had this one ready to go, he prefers kitties!

 This is my first card for Deb's Challenge.I made it with Clint in mind, but never gave it to him. I used Smooch and Spica for the truck. I'll have more details in my SCS Gallery.

This card was made for Clint by Laurie. Her and Tom sent him a bag of each flavor M&M's. She spoils him!!
Love the card!

The Critters

 Our little Pygmy Angora Goat Zeus is house broken and I let him come in to visit.

 I was brushing him and he just fell over!

 Wilber was trying to rst and I kept poking him to make him look at me.. and WOW what a look I got!!

 He finally got off the couch to have peace!

 Tommy thinks baskets and bags belong to him, even if he doesn't fit

 He had his head over the other leg of the rocker till he heard my camera. He does not look comfortable!

 Joker seemed attracked to Clints shoes.

Very weird dog!!

Then he took a nap in Clint's lap.

Mom and her Barbies!

 Bra and Panties for Barbie! I just love it!!

This last one is my fave... wouldn't that be beautiful in red or black!?!

Here comes the bride

 

My mom likes to sew Barbie clothes, right now she is on a Wedding Gown kick.

This is not may fave, but she won't let me take anymore pics till she's done.

The last one she made I asked her to make me one, but in red or black. It's so pretty!

I told her she should sell them. She has a huge rubber maid tote under her bed full of Barbie clothes (Ken too)

It's hard doing clothes for Ken though, the new Ken dolls are more 'buff' then the older patterns.

The Robin's

There are 4 little ones in the nest, all naked! Probably a good thing in this heat!

Not easy to see, but dad was right above my head in the tree. Boy is he loud when he yells at me! LOL

I go peak each day that I am home, I know they will be gone soon.
I'm hoping all 4 survive this year. Last 1 died when a storm knocked over the chelf the nest was on.
They keep building their nests where I store my flower pots. This year they put the nest right inside of my sprinkler!

I have an old (very old) swing set with no swings that I hang hoses and pots, ther eis a ladder ties across it theat I keep shoels and rakes on.

The guys were gonna build me a shed, but there are other things needed more.

Clint's dad has been cutting Poplar and Ash trees  to make more room for the Oaks and Maples. Birch are very scarce around here so I protect them! LOL We do live on Birch Bark Road! Anyhow.. a bit off track there! LOL
I had tied some trees that could be cut, and the Robins fly at Clint and Dave when they walk over there, I think those trees will stay for a bit longer. At least Papa Robin has chosen an oak
