DEAR FRIENDS,

IT IS WITH THE SADDEST HEART I PASS ON THE FOLLOWING; PLEASE JOIN ME IN
REMEMBERING A GREAT ICON-THE VETERAN PILLSBURY SPOKESMAN, THE PILLSBURY
DOUGHBOY DIED YESTERDAY OF A YEAST INFECTION AND COMPLICATIONS FROM REPEATED
POKES IN THE BELLY. HE WAS 71. DOUGHBOY WAS BURIED IN A LIGHTLY GREASED
COFFIN. DOZENS OF CELEBRITIES TURNED OUT TO PAY THEIR RESPECT, INCLUDING
MRS. BUTTERWORTH, HUNGRY JACK, THE CALIFRONIA RAISINS, BETTY CROCKER, THE
HOSTESS TWINKIES, AND CAPTAIN CRUNCH. THE GRAVE SITE WAS PILED HIGH WITH
FLOURS, AS LONGTINE FRIEND, AUNT JEMIMA DELIVERED THE EULOGY,DESCRIBING
DOUGHBOY AS A MAN WHO NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH HE WAS KNEADED.

DOUGHBOY ROSE QUICKLY IN SHOW BUSINESS, BUT HIS LATER LIFE WAS FILLED WITH
TURNOVERS. HE WAS NOT CONSIDERD A VERY 'SMART' WASTING MUCH OF HIS DOUGH,
ON HALF BAKED SCHEMES. DESPITE BEING A LITTLE FLAKY AT TIMES, HE EVEN STILL ,
AS A CRUSTY OLD MAN, WAS CONSIDERED A ROLL MODEL FOR MILLIONS, TOWARD THE END IT WAS
THOUGHT HE WOULD RISE AGAIN, BUT ALAS, HE WAS NO TART.

DOUGHBOY IS SURVUVED BY HIS WIFE, PLAY DOUGH, TWO CHILDREN, JOHN DOUGH, AND
JANE DOUGH, PLUS THEY HAD ONE IN THE OVEN. HE IS ALSO SURVIVED BY HIS ELDERY FATHER,
POP TART.

THE FUNERAL WAS HELD AT 3:50 FOR ABOUT
TWENTY MINUTES.

This weekends creations!

this is my Calendar 2009 ATC..... It took little printing time but I wrote in all the dates for 2009 (grueling process)! LOL I have 3 available for trade.

The digital image is for the love story swap. The back says, " To love oneself is the greatest love of all."

My favorite WTA so far

THe bottom image is from Sandra Zengler. She used pop art and embossing to create "snow happens". The top image was hand drawn by Elena Garcia. Pandas and snomen have always been a favorite of mine. I am looking forward to getting frames for these and hanging them in my atc art corner. Thank you both!

Moving Sux

So we finally got settled in and we are almost complete in this house. Hubby and I went shopping and bought a desk for my lap top and a book shelf. I had loads of fun fitting all the pieces together. Emillie helped and we played music. Dancing and putting furniture together is not a good idea (hint hint). LOL. The Lowes guy is on his way to drop off my washer and dryer. Bonus - he will hook those up for us also!

So far so good!

Prayers

Dear lord, I pray for:

wisdom , to understand a man,
Love, to forgive him;
and patience , for his moods
because, Lord, if I pray for Strenth
I'll just beat him to death

Stole from Susan

The second mouse gets the cheese.

You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

What a day!!!!

So, I started to work on some Atc's for the swaps I signed up. Most of which are due before the end of the month! I got alot done, and then...All at once I lost my inspiration:The phone rang (which normally doesn't bother me), I put it on speaker phone. And to my surprise, it was my daughters new school. They called to inform me that the entire 4th grade missed the buses and I had to arrange other transportation for her. Well, little did they know, my husband took the only working car to his work today! Well, to make a long story short. The assistant principle dropped off my daughter at the house. And now she is safe and sound. And anxious to help me make some more Atc's.... OH YEAH! Did I mention today was her first day at this school!?!

My first blog....

I am the type of person willing to try anything at least twice.
I believe that the first people try things their minds are not open.
So that is why I say twice.

I am guessing this is an online journal.....
This should be fun!

Be careful how much you read into my blogs. I have been classified as "Crazy" from my best friend. The things is say/write may not always make sense but at least it does to me! LOL!

I cannot promise I will do this or that everyday, but I can promise it will be interesting!

So, now that I got that under my belt, let's get started!
