Have a Very Merry Christmas!

Yes, it's me the bad blogger! but I have some fun pictures to share! And I wanted to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas!!!!! And a Happy New Year!!!!! Looking forward to 2013!!!! Every year with a fresh new start! I'm done with ALL my orders! My shopping is almost done, just one more gift and some stocking stuffers. I'm not baking my cookies this year, I just don't have time. But I will be coming to my dads party with cupcakes. Now if I could just find my red stand that I left at my brothers house! Guess I'll have to figure something else to serve them at my dads! It was a stand I took and won at one of the gift games my dad does every year at xmas eve. It's fun, well sometimes. I try to buy something I want and come home with it! ha ha! but the year before last I came home with junk! guess what? thats getting wrapped up and going back! I've been saving it!!!!! ha ha ha! jokes on them!

My mom is here and we've been having fun bleaching bottle brush trees and decorating them. Here are some that I made. I sold a bunch......it was hard to part with them, but I love to share my talent!

We bought a tree from my sons school this year. My first "live" tree in a long time! It's so beautiful. I love it! and doesn't it look so cute in my sons truck!!!!

and look at the pretty wreath I made!!!!!

and I'm starting to collect these this year! I have 3 so far..and I know where another one is (if it's still there). I'm going to go look tomorrow or Friday.

So.........Merry Christmas everyone!!!! I will see you in 2013!!!! I've already purchased new Valentine prints and ready to go! I have 2 dolls half done, but I'm taking time off until after Christmas so that I can enjoy my kids and family and attend some family parties!!!! And spend some time with the yummy hubby, he's been gone almost 2 weeks and I miss him tons!!!!!!!

 

breaks my heart.....

I know it's been approx 9 days since the storm hit.....but I'm sure it's been a long 9 days for them! for what they had to go through and what they still have yet to endure! A fellow artist who I have followed for years was right in the middle of all this! You can read her story and it's heartbreaking!

You might know her. Her business is EVERYDAY IS A HOLIDAY and her name is Jenny. Her work is amazing.

i hope you don't mind Jenny.....i snatched this picture from you....i wanted to put a picture with your name!

Please visit...and if you have any extra...please help! there is a link on her blog.

Thanks everyone!!!!!!

working like crazy.........

I just finished and listed a few new Annie's to my website! Some very cute Christmas ones!!!!!!

Please hop over and take a peek!!!! I'll be working all weekend on new ones and orders! Hubby is out of town again!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!! I'm hearing of lots of pumpkin carving going on...not here! maybe Monday. Kids won't be here most of the weekend. boo hoo!

my baby goes to Homecoming......

but single! he said he didn't want a date so he would be able to talk to other girls!!! LOVE it! I tried to tell him this over and over last year but he didn't listen!

So for those of you who have been following my blog since 2006, look at my baby all grown up!!!!! He's a sophmore. he's growing up way tooooo quick!

website update.....

I'm going to try and be good and update on my blog like I update on Facebook when I list new dolls. I hear over and over such sweet words about how ya'll love reading my blog. I wish I was more chatty! I'm just always afraid that I bore  you with details of my life. It's really not that exciting. I'm just a mom. and to me thats EVERYTHING. And what I've chose to do to earn money really means nothing to some. I know you all understand...because you wouldn't be here if it wasn't your thing...but let me tell you, I've heard it all. Some people don't take it serious. They joke that I stay home and "play with dolls". ha ha! thats funny! And my response to them is that I FOUND something that I could stay at home and take care of my son, and now my hubby's boys and I make money!!!! And I'm good at it!!!! and I'm proud of it!!!!! woo hoo! I'm pattin myself on my back. YES I AM!!!! oh wow...how did me talking about not being chatty turn into all that??? But I'm happy with my choices! I go batty sometimes...but when I really sit and think about it...I am VERY LUCKY!!!!! okay, enough of that! Did I lose ya'll now????? Here are some new babies! I just added them on my website today (even though I'm against adding new dolls on Fridays).

I sold my car on Saturday. I loved my car...but we barely used it! we have too many cars here.....so I decided to part with it......but Christopher found something that he thought we needed.... ha ha NOT

and on Wednesday night...my darn dryer broke! I hated that set anyway! I settled for something cheap while going through my divorce and regretted it since day one. Now I have these. OMG i love them!

alrighty...off to figure out what to feed the boys before I take Christopher to the Homecoming Football game. I'm down one kid who's with a friend, but up one as Christophers friend is here....and then when drop them off looks like it will be just Scotty and me. And yummy hubby is working out of town....so it will just be me and kids all weekend. I'm going to try and work! I have orders I need to get out! and Christmas dolls to make!

Thanks for reading everyone!

is this blog still here?

or should I ask if anyone even comes here anymore? Blame it on Facebook! It's just soooo super easy to update over there...and share pictures right from my phone!

Although it might not seem like it, I have been working like crazy! listing new stuff at least once a week! And I'm sooo happy it's all been going quick! I'm having a hard time keeping up! I love ya'll!

I put some new dolls on yesterday. Super cute ones! well I think so anyway! Now I want to get busy with Christmas!

Hop over to RaggedyOldAnnies.com to see all these cuties!!!!

This morning is so nice crisp and cool. So wierd but so typical of where I live to be in the 90's on day and cold the next and then thats it! It's time for hoodies and I'm tickled pink about that!

My son could be driving with a permit by the end of this month if he gets busy and finishes the class!!! Isn't that crazy???? omg!!! He was soooo small when I started this blog!

Him then............

him now.................

Thats his new ride! I'm not looking forward to car insurance! I'll find out how much that will kill me when he actually gets his permit. kinda scared! I know I won't be able to afford it!

time to get sewing on some dolls! Don't be a stranger! Hop over to my FACEBOOK and see whats going on! the link is on the top left of my blog!
