Two posts in two days?! I'm on a roll! Lol... It is crazy how life changes from year to year and where your life can take you. I do apologize for not blogging as I once did.. I am still making things... But I tend to be on Facebook instead. Yes I finally broke down and opened a Facebook account. For me, it's more private and I can see Family:) But I do miss my blog friends! If your on Facebook- and I know who you are.. Come find me:) I plan on opening a page for Katie's Corner, just haven't gotten around to it yet... <div><br></div><div>So enough with all the crap you don't wanna hear...

I can't wait for spring:)</div><div><br></div><div>I have been making a collection of paper items. I've actually been working on the tubs for months- they need so many coats of paint to make them feel sturdy, that I got bored and put them up for a long time... I've also found that using thicker paper helps- duh! The first batch I did in Vintage White and made them look older by making my rust spots bigger... At least in my mind they look older:)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXLmyZVhWaU_Yq-FXzId0Qyu-mKMWDerYTzJOdTxN8atVmKuasBFhivUSRWMyV0tEvTisI-Fed0xMiPo5lHDe38jv7P_Efh_HJh0m-HNRNODowl93YhlHOjmXbS-JKLFwrucKVmhppjbjf/s640/blogger-image-1368551350.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; "><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXLmyZVhWaU_Yq-FXzId0Qyu-mKMWDerYTzJOdTxN8atVmKuasBFhivUSRWMyV0tEvTisI-Fed0xMiPo5lHDe38jv7P_Efh_HJh0m-HNRNODowl93YhlHOjmXbS-JKLFwrucKVmhppjbjf/s640/blogger-image-1368551350.jpg"></a></div><div>I've always had a passion for these pitchers..

It's been six months now since my hand got broke. And my middle finger is still no good. Thinking about it- it will always remain broke- the bones in the finger tip got shattered and pushed down. I'm still going to have to have surgery oneday to have them removed.. But I lost my health insurance, so it will have to wait. I can bend my finger and have good mobility in my hand.. But I can Not use my middle finger for anything because it still hurts like crazy and it's still swollen. The back side of my hand throbs a lot too- but I think that comes from holding my finger up- I try and keep it out of the way..

Listing an item will make you want to pull your hair out.. Thought I'd take a minute to explain myself.. lol... My best friend says I give away all my secrets.. And I try and tell her that's the point. When I make something from 'trash'... As we all do... I try and turn it into gold, and some days I get carried away with it and make armies of em'. For example.. The Monolopy houses.. I have painted a lot of Monolopy houses and resold them for a profit. Yes.. The are just a Monolopy House. But when I get done with it, I'd like to think I've turned something that most people might see as a tiny piece of Art. And who in the world has time to sit around and paint Monopoly houses??? I do, lmao... Yea.. That's me.. Sitting over here keeping my 8 1/2 fingers busy.. But.. My point here is.. She doesn't think I should tell people what is is that I'm working with and yet I feel as if it's part of my being. I like recycling.. I reuse the Monolopy money too.. Yuppers, it gets stapled together in stacks and becomes mini notepads in my purse.. Now there's recycling at its finest... Now where's all this going? And where are the Pictures?? Lol..
