Birdhouses are Listed!

OK.... So I know it took a lot longer than it should of..... but those that are done are up and listed in Etsy... and there only a few small ones left to finish and list. I only made 3 big ones... and they are listed. I won't make any more to sell. For one, I can't find the other sheet I bought, and 2- I like knowing there's only going to be 3 OOAKs! (Although I may make one ooak for Cora's Gothic room at a later date?- if I ever figure out what I did with that other sheet of stickers?!)

This red one has an image on the front and an image on the back... You can see all the pictures over in Etsy:)

There's only 2 of these little ones.... A black one and a grey one.... Sally is so sweet....

I LOVE this one.... Almost don't want to part with it.....

I have this set.... and then there is another set I still have to photograph- but I ran out of sun:(

The weather here has been horrible for pictures! I had about 20 minutes of sun and then it was gone. Tomorrow is Turkey day... and well..... I will explain that after I figure that out. drama- LOL! For now.... I'm going to go clean up the mess I've made, and prepare for all that cooking we're about to do! You all be safe! I'm thinking about you all. I might not blog or comment.. or email... but I do think about all of You. I wonder if You're out playing in that snow, and damn- I missed my opportunity for Monster acorns again... or if my mother has sent You those dang on bobbins yet.... or if You've made it back from your trip yet? Of if Your hanging in there.... There's a lot of Yous out there that I think about.... I will get back into to the grove of things one day. But for now....

Happy Thanksgiving!

Until Next Time

Those new birdhouses...

While walking through the mall the other day I came across these nail stickers and just knew they need to be made into some birdhouses....

Then yesterday I went back and bought another pack because if you look close there is only one single Jack sticker....and well.... I wanted one to sell and one to keep! Cora's going to need one of these in her Gothic room! To date, these are the most expensive nail stickers I have bought! But totally worth it.....

...and here's some of the birdhouses I've been working on. Each house was hand cut out of Basswood, and no two are the same. I measure each one as I go, so they are not totally perfect... But to me, that's what gives them their charm.... Then the real work begins. They get painted.... crackled, sanded, painted again, ...etc, etc.... and then some where in between all that...

...a nail sticker gets added......

...and then......

...you'll have to wait.....lol

Until Next Time.......

Maybe it wasn't that expensive after all....

You know... It's a good thing my oldest is in that auto mechanics program at school now that his Ding-Bat of a mother is driving around town playing bumper cars, huh. I tried to avoid that phone call to the insurance company yesterday explaining that I was a jackass, but they seemed to beat me to the punchline and called me in the afternoon 'to check on me'... Turns out I've got better coverage than I thought I had and the two cars I hit are covered. All I have to pay for is the ticket I got for being a moron and the light that I took out on my car. And with my handy dandy son knowing how to work on cars.... He'll be changing that out that light for me this afternoon After I get the courage up to get back in that car to go buy a new one, lol......

Then I have a preview of those birdhouses I've been talking about...... all I'll say is I came across some nail stickers at the mall..... and that's all she wrote.....

Until Next Time.....

That was one expensive cup of Hot Chocolate!

OK.... This should be my last Med update until I find out if it works.... which won't be for several more months, so unless something else happens, that trumps today.... I'm going to leave it alone, OK? Promise.....

But First.... I gotta go back to last week.
I finally sat down and wrote a letter to the doctor. I figure it would be easier than trying to explain it on an answering machine or to some nurse who would have No idea as to what I was talking about. So last Tuesday.... I ran the letter out there, addressed to his main PA.... because I know how busy the doctor himself is..... And Friday he called me back. This medicine is giving my mind a run for it's money... As I put it.... My mind has turned into mash potatoes! Last week I went to grocery store to purchase a birthday cake for my son.... got sidetracked by some yummy looking bread.... thought about what I was going to make for dinner, went grocery shopping.... and it wasn't until about 6 hours later, when I was at home in bed, that it dawned on me that I had completely forgotten to order his cake! I repeat myself to the kids, ask them the same questions.... And then today.....

I T-Bone someone! Yup! Me. The girl who's never been in an accident....The girl with no tickets. And I was not even a block away from the house. Totally my fault! I was turning into 7-11... Trying to see if there was any parking spaces.... and I just didn't see the little white car coming at me when I turned.... Well, when I hit her, she hit the parked car that was sitting on the side of the road. Luckily No one got hurt! But I sure made a mess out of her car! And I swear to Whom ever... It's this Gosh damn medicine! I just don't go around t-boning people. I'm that girl that gets yelled at for driving to slow! You know- They call me "Driving Miss Daisy".... Needless to say..... I was a mess.... Another side effect of the medicine- I can't stop crying! So I called the bf on the phone and asked him to bring me my 'Volume' (as the kid calls it) because at this point, one of my other side effects..... My Heart..... was kicking in. Yes, I'm now getting runs of my SVT again... which means my heart beat is in the 130s- 150s sometimes. Now I take meds for this anyways... and my heart doc knows about this. Remember I have a healthy heart, I just have electrical issues.... but when one of those electrical issues starts to act up, the rest follow, and as I was told, "I was an emotional wreck!"........LMAO- And here I thought I held myself up pretty well. After all was said and done, I had the bf drive the car home, I got my hot chocolate from 7-11 and I walked! No more driving for me! I still have to call the insurance company to tell them I f*ck*d up.... but I just don't have it in me yet. I'm honestly ready for a nap. lol

Anyways.... When I talked to the doctor the other day.... They told me to go ahead and keep taking the meds. The are aware of what it is doing to me, but we both want to see what the outcome will be, and as long as the symptoms aren't too bad, and as long as I keep my butt out of the car.... I think I'll be OK...... He said my body should start to adjust to the meds after a while, so that's a bit of good news right.....

Now lets just pray it works.

Until Next Time

The kinda days I live for!

Figured it was about time I did a Happy post! (as Rufus runs right across the keyboard- Damn cats!) Sunday was my Youngest 13th Birthday! I can Now officially say I have 3 teenagers....
13, 14, and 15...... and as I said to my Mother the other day... "HELP!" lol
OMG! What am I in for? lol
So this is my baby.... all grown up- covering his ears as his buddies are Screaming Happy Birthday to him! In his defense- It was rather loud!

Of course no party is ever complete without Emma- my Daughter's 50 pound Moose. I swear she's the biggest cat we know, with the tiniest, daintiest legs you've ever seen! Too cute!

OK..... I'll spare my Ex the embarrassing after shot photo of his face.... But I won't spare him the story... Bah hahahahaaaa..... Oh this Good! Don't get me wrong- Me and my Ex get along really good- But I sure do love it when this kind of stiff happens. So my son got the tube thing for his birthday.... but couldn't figure out how to open it.... Me, I was standing in the back, behind all the boys- which by the way- have grown sometime in the last year, because I now have to stand on my tippie toes to see over them (And I'm 5'10)...anyways.... I hear a "Pull this" and a BANG and the boys I'm standing behind, back me into the kitchen.... and all you see is smoke! And here's comes my ex, Bent over.... barely whispering "They shot me!"....... And well... You know me..... I'm on the floor at this point laughing..... Because I'm realizing this tube is one of those party confetti things and what my ex if referring to- is the fact that the 'boys' have just shot him with is a tube of confetti- Right in the gut! ...... And then he says to me..... All calm like...... "Ya know, It really isn't all that funny!"..... ROTFL....... I just had to walk away at that point and help my daughter clean up the mess..... there was even confetti in the kitty litter! I'm sure my ex will be finding that stuff in his house for months! LOL.....

Poor Guy!

Cameron decided he wanted a Halloween themed cake this year so I found a Frankenstein cupcake cake at Farmfresh. Anyone want to try in it mini?

And I know it was Cameron's Birthday, but it seems my daughter has hogged up my camera. She decided she wanted to be a pretty ghost....If you look close you'll notice she has flowers on her white sheet and a unicorn in her hands- and a wee bit of a crooked face, lol. (Mind you we had to take the scissors away from her- she thought she was going to cut the eye holes out while she still had the sheet on her head- duh!) Only my daughter!

See..... at the end of a bad day..... I'll always have the kiddos to make me laugh....

Until Next Time....
