Raggedy Old Annies

I have a new favorite....

and she is Big Head Betty Anne. I know you just met her in my last post....and I hope you don't mind seeing her for a little bit more!

I just put 3 more of her on my website! My favorite is the Nurse!!!!!!

And gosh..I feel like I'm a roll here! It's so easy to finish up lots of Annie's when the weather is so HOT outside! They dry in like MINUTES! And being that I am such a hermit in the summer months...I get alot done because I don't go anywhere! The heat and I do not do well......I have been like since a child...and so I stay inside most of the summer...which is good for my website! LOLOL

Have a GREAT Sunday!!!!!

Meet Betty.....

There is a new girl in town.....her name is Big Head Betty Anne. Yup...big head all right! She KNOWS she's pretty and cute! Well I think she is!

You can find her...and a bunch of other new girls on my website.

Met up with my friends at the movies this morning to see this.......

omgosh...CUTEST movie ever...NO MATTER how old you are! We laughed...we giggled...and I think Vanessa even cried! You know what bugs me about going to the movies....no matter how early you get there and pick out the perfect seat for you and your kiddos....someone tall always comes in and plops down right in front of your kids! Last time, when I took C and his lil girlfriend....2 adults sat down right in front of them and get this.....the whole theater was empty! they had a lil kid with them too! So we got up and moved to the row in front of them, and I made sure to NOT sit in front of their lil kid...and do you know they had the nerve to make a comment about their lil one not being able to see.....OVER my lil ones heads! I almost turned around and said something...but I didn't. Then today....2 adults hopping around came in during the middle of the movie and sat right down in front of our row of kids! My brave friend Vanessa asked them to move a row up! LOLOL And they did! but how dare them! Okay..enough venting!

Have a great weekend everyone! Stay cool!

Look what the hubby bought me!

Omgosh!!! I'm in love with Pearl....my NEW CAR!

Leather...Sunroof....heated seats....we can plug our iPods in.....omgosh..what more could a girl ask for! Thank you hubby!!!! It was sorta sad leaving the dealership....leaving my van there...with my "RaggedyOldAnnies" sticker on the back window. I sorta felt like I was letting her down! She was a good van...very good to me! We thought about keeping her...but they gave us such a good $$$ for trade...that it was worth it for us. Hubby is still a little upset with me that she didn't come home with us. He really wanted to keep her. C just LOVES the new car!!!! We still need to get the windows tinted...that will come in the next couple weeks...she's only 2 days old....and all I wanna do is drive her!

So....because I wanted to drive Pearl....I finished up the dolls I had worked on for orders this weekend so I could drive to the post office! LOLOL!!!! and here are some others that I finished up too! And they are already up on my website!

I hope everybody is staying cool....it's been really miserable out!!!! We went to the beach last Thursday...and I've made up my mind that I want to move back to it! So much cooler.... Shhh...I haven't told the hubby yet though! LOLOL It will NEVER happen...he works out here where we live...but I can dream right? I took some pics while we were there...didn't take my favorite camera...I'm so afraid of getting the sand in it....but the good ole Rebel worked just fine! I posted a couple pics on my Photo Blog if ya wanna see. The beach is a challenge...so I want to go back ASAP because I want to master it!

Finally....new Annie's added!

Yes...can you believe it? New dolls on the website! Finally! I have been working on orders...and managed to squeeze in some extras! And I am going to try something new....I get quite a few orders on dolls that are sold out...so on some of them, I will still place a "sold" sign on them but I will leave the shopping cart available for "special orders". Here is a sneak peek of what I just added tonight.

So I have spent all today and about 2 hours of last night looking for a bathing suit! Now that is just a joke...cruel...and I'm now calling it a "fat suit"! ugh! I wish I didn't even have to buy one. But....the one I have worn for the past couple summers just bugs me...shows too much and I wanted something more comfy. Well I found the cutest cover up...now if I could just find the cutest suit! So anyway...I really need one because C and I are flying to my aunts in Indiana in August and she lives on a lake...and I'm told we'll be in our bathing suits most of the time...just lovely...and I didn't want to wait too long to find one because most likely there will not be anything to choose from...and well...it's already hard for me to find something with a full seletion! And C wants to go to the beach...my friend bought him a boogie board for his birthday and he's itching to try it out. So my day was "ick" and I was more than happy to come home after the workout of trying on a zillion fat suits...ooops I mean bathing suits and work on my dolls because they make me smile!

C invited a girl to the movies on Monday!!! It's his sweet lil girlfriend from school....just as cute as can be!  Of course...I went along! He wanted me to sit a couple rows back! NOT!!!!!! Man oh man I'm so not ready for this!!!! He's only 11!!!!!!! Calgon take me away!

Good Bye Elementary School

School has ended...and so has elementary school life for us! I'm a little sad! I have become very comfortable there...LOVE all the teachers and the staff! The school threw a "Luau" for all of the 5th grade. It was the first dance EVER! To me it was uncontrolled chaos! I spent all day there...helping to decorate....and then to chapperone (against my sons wishes). And of course....camera in hand!

I think he was tired of me taking pics!

And Christopher and his friend were busting up because their friend asked a girl to dance! but right after this...so did Christopher!

So Summer is here! YIPPEE!! Looking forward to sleeping in! And getting some work done!

June Gloom already?

It's been so beautiful outside and today we wake up to June Gloom. Well frankly..it's really hard for me to believe that we are ALREADY in June!!!! Just over a week left of school and baseball....and boy I can't wait....why....because I am tired of running around and filling my gas guzzling van up with gas that is now at $4.39 gallon!!!! It's just insane! I think I'll stay home for a couple of week just to save some money on gas! And the gloom...well I'd be happy for it to stay...because then I won't have a huge electric bill to go along with that gasoline bill!

My mom has been here since last Thursday and we are just having so much fun! We've been shopping..that's always fun! I bought this really cool rolling cart to organize all my scrapbooking stuff....I could use another one...and I think I might just buy it!

Christopher's class at school are doing "egg babies". They had to draw to see what they get....boy or girl...or even twins! Christopher has twins...boy/girl. We had to decorate something to carry them in. He dressed up a shoe box...all very boyish! poor girl! Before they could decorate the eggs....they had to "blow" the egg out! ha! That was gross!

And here are his babies! They are so cute! He has to take them everywhere...and pay for babysitting...and if they break...or get cracks...he has to pay an "emergency room" visit. They have pretend checks....and were givin $1000.00 in the account. So far so good...but I dread everyday he has to take them to school. While driving the other night...he was explaining the list of supplies that he purchased...I think he might have already went over his limit!

I did finish up some dolls the other day! All are posted on my website!

oh...and Photography Class is done!! YIPEEE!! And I got an "A" for the grade! PHeww...I was worried! I always worry! That's me...a worry wart! I take after my mom! Speaking of my mom..she leaves tomorrow!!!! :( So sad! I wish she was staying longer! We didn't get very much time to play this visit! Next time!

Have you been over to Missy's blog? Her and some friends are have a new blog and website going called "Pimp Stitch". Check it out! They are offering a free stitchery right now! It's cute...I think I'll have to whip one up!

ooops! I almost forgot. I'm sorta in the cleaning out mood...and I have these vintage paper straws that I purchased for a project...and well....never did anything with them. They were a bit pricey...but are doing me no good sitting around...so I wanted to sell them all together...so I was thinking $20.00 for ALL.....that includes shipping! There are 8 boxes in all. Boxes are very worn, some missing the tops. I've heard these are great for papier mache projects.

and...some vintage Birthday Cards and Easter Post Cards. 19 total. Some Duplicates. Not sure if the Birthday Cards have writing in them, all but one are in the clear plastic that I purchased them in. The Easter Post Cards do have writing on the back. $15.00 for ALL including shipping.  SOLD! Thanks

Please email me if you are interested in either one! Thanks!
