So, I sold my Typographic Blocks yesterday on Etsy. I plan to make more because truthfully, I really love them and plan to put some in the living room with all my other typographic things. They are just so interesting to me for some reason. But, what I really wanted to tell you about is the person who purchased them. I'm kinda nosey so I always have to go and see who bought my pieces. So, I went to her Etsy site , which led me to her blog , which led me to her web site. She calls herself "redbirthmark" as she was born with a birthmark on one of her hands. You just have to go and read about her and look at her fabulous art work!

My Garage Sale Adventures Yesterday I love Garage Sales. It has become a bit of a habit for me to go to them on Saturday mornings. Do I need anything? NO. Do I know what I am looking for? NO. Do I care? NO! It's the thrill of the hunt! I have to tell you about my findings from yesterdays garage sale adventure. Check out this photo and I will tell you all about it. First, I found the Blue Willow bowl for a quarter. I can't find any cracks or chips. I have always loved blue willow and the story that goes with it. Then, I found the baggy full of vintage jewelry pieces for 50 cents. I went to another garage sale and found the two vintage sewing machines, the little typewriter, and the rotary phone for 12.00! For all of it. The poor sewing machines were covered in dirt, it looks like the owners had left them outside. Poor things. I feel like I rescued them. Isn't that silly? I cleaned them up and posed them for this pic. One will definitely be incorporated into the...

You Are Invited! You are invited to come and visit my Etsy shop Sale ! I am taking 25% off the current price of all items in my shop this weekend. The sale ends Sunday C.S.T. at 5 P.M. I am working on a shop update as well. It's just time to freshen up! Weekend Plans: There are a couple of garage sales I would like to attend this morning. A few had listed "antiques" we will see what those are. I'm going to work on Etsy update, art, and some of the redecorating work on Cody's old room. The usual housecleaning and laundry are on the agenda too. Have a great weekend. Hugs

I'm going to have an Etsy Sale this weekend! I am putting all of my items on sale for 25% off! The sale will start tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. Central Standard Time and will end at 5 p.m. on Sunday evening. Hopefully, I will make a few sells and reduce inventory. I have several new projects in the works and I am excitedly working to get them ready for posting in my Etsy shop . Meanwhile, I am also working on updating the entire shop look and feel. So, be on the lookout for that. Oh, and I have to tell you that my mother emailed me and told me she does (DOES) have the Alligator pattern and she is bringing it to me Friday when she comes! Yay! I found this picture on someones blog and I am pretty sure this is it. But, we will see when she brings it. Can't wait to show you my first alligator (or it may be my first attempt at a stuffed alligator-haha).

Help I'm Pouncing and I can't stop. I gotta get ready for work but all I want to do is Pounce on Etsy! I love the randomness of it. I usually look at the "just sold" part but occasionally I will look and the new and undiscovered Etsy items. If you have not pounced yet, go over and give it a try and don't be surprised if you have a little trouble stopping. I'm going to be updating my shop this weekend! So be watching for some new stuff. Tonight I will be posting about an awsome sale I will be having this weekend starting tomorrow at 9:am through 5 pm on Sunday. Happy Friday, Oh thank the Lord! Yay! Hugs

This is my latest mixed media piece, I named it "P is for Party". It was fun to play with the paints and other media to create this collage/mixed media piece. I want to say thanks to all the brave alligator hunters. We have not turned up the pattern I need yet. But, keep looking and remember me if you find an alligator. This weekend we had to go up to San Antonio again to take Cody his truck as he is now allowed to have it. He does not have off base privileges yet but that base is so huge, it will be nice for him to get around in his truck instead of walking everywhere. Cody's fiance went with us. Can you believe this is the only picture I took? I was definitely not on my game. I enjoyed seeing him so much. We did not get to take him off base but we entertained ourselves by shopping on base, eating etc. We stayed at the hotel on the base and it was very nice and the price was so much better than when we stayed off base several weeks ago for his graduation. We will defin...
