Raggedy Old Annies

LOVE THESE!!!!!

My mom and I spent hours yesterday morning sitting in the Starbucks at Barnes & Nobles drooling over all the magazines! It's been so long since I have done that! This caught my eye....

and we want to make them! We found charms that we LOVE but we cannot find the the "ribbon clamps". We went to 2 different Michaels with no luck! One store told us they were out, even though they were doing a "demo" on this. whatever! I found some online, but my charms are antique and I cannot find clamps to match....any help? I think they will make great xmas gifts for readers....and teachers!

Mom and I are having fun! She finished her Christmas shopping...and I have barely started. 

omgosh........

I want this quilt!!!!!! And she's GIVING IT AWAY! Yes..you heard me right...Old Red Barn Co is giving it away on her blog!!!! I am questioning myself WHY I am telling ya'll because I want to win it...but...I get more entry points if I tell ya'll!

back to my dolls.............

Have you tried.....

these ever so yummy......green bean fries from TGI Fridays??? They were so yummy...I wish I had some now!

My friend Sandi and I went out on Saturday to Photograph...getting ready for our class to start...and after spending some time on the beach photographing anything and EVERYTHING....we headed down to the "Gas Lamp District" in San Diego and started out with lunch....after driving around and around trying to find the perfect parking spot! We had fun! Then we topped it off with a movie...27 Dresses! OMG!!! So cute!!!

Sorry..no doll updates today....took the weekend off....but back to work tomorrow! After playing with Sandi's new "Lensbabie" lens for her camera...I MUST HAVE my own! So I need to work for it!

Cherries Galore!

Ok...so I head on over to JoAnns because I needed some more vinyl and a purse strap to finish a purse order that I have, and that's ALL I needed...but of course, I have to check out the fabrics. Glad I did!!!! Look at these cute Cherry Prints! They WERE NOT there the last time I was in there! And I guess I missed the sale on them! The bigger prints are from Robert Kaufman (one of my favorites)! I was good...Missy, you'll be so proud of me! Only 1/2 yard cuts on all except the bigger pink cherry print. I had a coupon so I just got a full yard. I am so guilty of buying whole bolts at time....but I really have way too much fabric to be adding more! I'm trying to clear out! But I couldn't pass these up! I just hope that I will be able to buy more if needed! Last years RK cherry prints never re-stocked! That was a bummer!

And I had to buy this BIG piece of foam.....Christopher has a project due on Monday. They are doing an "egg drop" and you have to figure out a way to protect the egg in a container so that it will not break during the drop off of the cafeteria. This should be fun! I'm going to take pictures on Monday of them doing that! But first, we need to figure it out! Hoping maybe this foam will work! Any ideas will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!

Oh...and did I tell you that I got an "A" in my Photography class???? I was so excited! Moving on to the next class, it starts late August. And I'm taking a summer class in Multimedia online right now, as I need that if I want to pursue this!

Happy middle of the week!!!! Oh..and we lost our playoff game last night. I was really happy for the team that beat us though! They really DESERVED it! So we are done with Spring Season baseball now.....but...Christopher is in AllStars, so we start practice for that on Monday! That will be intense! Practice EVERY night of the week for like 2 weeks straight! The games are insane...we did this 2 years ago...and my hands hurt from clapping so much, and I had no voice from cheering! LOL But it will be fun, and I LOVE watching my son play!!!!

Bye for now!

My Famous Friend!

Yes...that's right...I have a "famous friend" and her name is Missy Ballance!

She starred in the show "That's Clever"!!!! Do you remember her? I'm so proud to announce that it's "RE RUN" time for the show...and you'll be able to see her again on February 14th! That's Tuesday...that's tomorrow! OMG so sorry for the short notice!!!!!! Check  your local listings!!!! It's on HGTV.

And I recieved a wonderful gift in the mail from Tyn of Pookieville.

 

I was visiting her blog and she was having a party and was having a drawing...and my name was pulled!!! I was so excited! Rarely do I win!!!!! What a wonderful sample of papers she sent me! I CANNOT wait to use them!!!!!! Thanks so much Tyn!!!!!

A Christmas Tree of my DREAMS!

Missy of Little Missy Primitives was sharing a link to a Flickr account for Jenny of Every Day is a Holiday. As I was browsing through the cutest pictures I have ever seen.....I came across a picture of her tree! (click on "tree" and it will take you there!) I am DROOLING over it! I LOVE it! I LOVE anything she makes!!!
