This should be easy

Following up on my previous post – how do you like my first 2 “me things” for 2012? While browsing on Flickr, I ran across a lovely picture with some tips for the New Year. All were good tips, but this one stuck out to me: Open your mind and just be still. Make time […]

Me Things

That’s me doing a me thing in Cozumel 🙂 Now that Christmas is out of my system, I can once again concentrate on me things. You see, during the autumn months leading up to the Holidays, I’m creating things for everyone else but me. I’m working on product for craft shows, working on gifts for […]

Happy Birthday, Mom.

Mom and me… Thanksgiving 2006 Today is my mom’s birthday. She would have been 67. It’s still weird that she’s not here to celebrate with. Now this is just a day. I don’t say that to get sad looks or hugs from friends, I’m just stating what it feels like. The memories of celebration are […]

Anti-Bah Humbug

I’m going to come right out and say it – If I hear one more person verbally complain/blog/make a passive aggressive comment about how Christmas is swallowing up Thanksgiving, I’m going to blow a gasket. I’d rather see a Christmas tree all decked out and lit with 149 strands of lights on every single lawn […]

Lunchtime Thoughts

It’s dark and stormy outside which always leaves my pensive and full of things to say. I’ve been experiencing a bit of post vacation depression since my return from my cruise. It’s a lot like going back to work after a long (but not long enough) holiday. While on the cruise, everything was taken care […]

Some Reflection… if you will

At about 1:50PM CST today, the most recent issue of Facility Manager (an IAVM publication) hit my desk. At first glance, it was masked under a stack of junky catalogues and other spam type snail mail. However, a quick double-take was all it took to realize what jewels lie within today’s mail. This is the […]

It’s like this…

The loot… be jealous, be oh, so, jealous! I’m still stumped as far as what to write in response to my day spent at the Craft Gossip blog meet up. It was only a few hours long but I left with my brain full of big, craft lovin’ smiles (and a couple of bags STUFFED […]

I’m warning you…

… this is addictive. I promised some people I would post my pumpkin.sausage.mushroom soup recipe. I’m not sure where this recipe came from. I saw a version of it on a forum board a couple of years ago and I’ve adapted it slightly, but I can’t claim the original idea. 1 lb breakfast sausage (I […]

The password is… procrastination

After spending 30 minutes writing and rewriting tonight’s blog post about my trip to Little Rock last Saturday and the Craft Gossip Blog meet up, I’ve given up and changed courses. It’s not that I have nothing to write about, quite the opposite actually, it’s just that I’m having trouble doing my homework. I’ll write […]

General news for a general type of Friday

Before I get into this post, I have to tell you a story. When I created my blog banner (the one you see above), I was quite proud. It was clean, classy, and perfect for my blog. Then the sadness came. Last night, I saw a not very good blog about nail polish (don’t you […]
