Seeking a Memory...

Hello bloggy friends...

I'm seeking someone with a memory; someone who has been around for a while reading my blog... I sure hope this person STILL reads my blog.  A loooooooong time ago, possibly during the first run of Blogging for Scrapbookers, someone, somewhere shared a link on her blog to another blog.  The linked blog was about a woman who, while healing from a divorce, redesigned the interior or her home completely by herself... DIY.   She punched through walls, built archways and redesigned a bathroom from basically the floorboards up.  She created a nook for her piano (I think it was a piano).  She did it all on her own.   I'm looking for that blog post.

If anyone out there remembers such a post, or knows how I can come by viewing it again, I would greatly appreciate you.  As in, many hugs and kisses.  Well... maybe not the kisses, if you're not so inclined (I come from a kissy family, but I have become wise to the non-kissy ways of people out here in Ohio).  Regardless, I would send you lots of love.

I know I've been a bit on the quiet side.  I have so much in store... so many stories to tell... a whole lot of pictures to share.  It's just a matter of making the time and right now... there just isn't any.

Please be patient with me... I will be back en force I promise.

Hugs for now!

Getting Close...

The craft bazaar is getting close - Saturday has zoomed up.  I can't believe how very little (in my opinion) I have ready.  I wish I'd done more, but time limits prevail and thus, I go with what I have.  I promised you pictures, and here is one...

... one of the sets of Christmas cards I'm selling.  I made this design first waaaay back, I think in August.  I wasn't sure if I was going to make more (there are a lot of pieces) but when presented with this bazaar, I though this card would be perfect to try and sell.  So, I have made more.

I do have more to share, but so exhausted.  Still using every spare minute creating, but I promise... more to come, more to come. 

PS> if you are a typical recipient of my Christmas cards, don't be surprised if this one ends up in your hands closer to the day.  If they don't sell, this is what I'm sending out!  :)

Picture Perfect!

How many men does it take to get a Budweiser Clydesdale into a Giant Eagle grocery store? 

Just enjoying the ride today.  You?

How Bazaar!

Happy October!

I have been out of touch here because I have been busting ass to try and get some "stock" together for a craft bazaar coming up this Saturday (the 8th).  Honestly, in my opinion, I haven't been very successful.  I should have started earlier.  Much earlier.  Sadly, I didn't have any inspiration and until about a week ago, I wasn't even sure we were going to do it. 

Anyone out there ever sell at a craft show or bazaar?  How did you prepare?  I'd love some list-minute tips and tricks!  For now... I'm off to bed.  Early morning boot camp with the sadist in seven short hours...

I'll be back to show you some of the things I'm making, as soon as I get a chance to catch a breath!  Hope you're doing something fun today...

It's Here!

I'm trying not to blink, or I'll miss it!  But autumn is here; it's finally here! (Actually, by the calendar it officially arrived last Friday.) Every year I say I “miss” fall because it goes by so quickly and every year I feel like I don’t get time enough to “catch it” even if I promise myself. The tradition seems to continue…


Lately, the weather hasn’t been conducive to much “outside” fun, so I’ve been spending the cooler, rainy days inside working on a few things for an upcoming craft bazaar, as well as thinking about all the Christmas cards I still have yet to make. And the Christmas presents. Oh! And all of the classes I started! No matter, once I get them done (or near done), I do promise to share pictures.

For now, as time is short, here is a “tease”…

How have you been spending YOUR days lately?
