Hold on Sunday, I ain't ready for Monday yet

My poor blog has been so neglected lately. I know you've been waiting with bated breath (or is that bad breath) for another posting.
 Although I wish my life consisted of cutting, painting, distressing and all that fun stuff, instead, I have a full time job that keeps me occupied sometimes.  This weekend I took a day off to originally go spend money at the Creating Keepsakes Convention in Nashville.  But instead decided to work at a booth to make money to spend another day.

I wanted to wear this, but thought better of it!

You know, first impressions and all!

So, instead I wore this:









How do I look?

At least I remembered to shave and didn't show up like this:

Anyway, I was introduced to a new product called, Lea France French Photo Collage stenciling technique.

I took home Citrus Twist for cardsand can't wait to work with it on a card! Watch for follow up postings with this product.

Slow down Sunday! I ain't ready for Monday yet!

What a week I've had!  Everhadoneofthoseweekswherethedaysaresofilledwithbusinessthatyoucantellonedayfromanother!?
Thats the week I've had!
I really want to rest and relax today!

The twins with little sister, nancy, circa 1970

It's getting kind of chilly around TN these days.  I guess I'll need to break out the hand muff and matching hat.  Poor little sister, Nancy, didn't get a muff to wear with her hat! Today she still wishes for a muff.  Maybe I should find one for her!?  Would that be fun if I could find a vintage muff on ebay! I guess I have a project now!  Good thing my little sister doesn't follow this blog--otherwise she might know what her xmas gift is! 

Soo, what's on your plates today? Not literally--or maybe so--leave me a comment--tell me what's going on with you.  Tomorrow I'll leave you a posting about all the work I'm doing today! 

Remember to stop here...for a giveaway! You have until Monday evening to get your comment in or to become a new follower!

Hold up Sunday, I ain't ready to go back to work!

You have one more day to enter into the drawing for one of these lovelies...oh, you will want to enter...oh yes you will!!!

Go to this link and leave a comment.  These pretties aren't yet complete...but...I'm thinking they will be a treasured puddin n pie master piece!

Slow Down Sunday, I ain't ready to go back to work...

Durn if it ain't Sunday evening again and I'm gearing up for the work week.  What is your normal Sunday night routine?  Do you pull your clothes out for the day, iron anything and shine your shoes?  Funny story for you...my twin, ya'll remember her, right?

Georgie Porgy, puddin N pie and her twinny: Jaymie

Jaymie makes fun of me cause I'm a little bit over the edge when it comes to organizing.  Maybe not so much now...I've relaxed a little bit--really--really I have.  Her actual comment to me was that I was anal retentive. Welllll...I just don't like the way that sounds, so we'll just say that I'm a good organizer.  

When I was a young girl in high school I was very particular about my clothes.  I would take Sunday and pick out my clothes for the week.  I would organize the clothes in my closet.  Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.  All laid out and ready to go.

I just loved looking in my

closet during the week and seeing my clothes all lined up and ready to go.  Of course there were days when that particular outfit just didn't work for my mood.  We all have those days, right? 

Or, remember when you were in high school and your bff would call and say she was wearing a dress that day and you HAD to wear one too? 

Facebook is a wonderful thing, isn't it? After so many years out of contact with my best friends from high school, I've reconnected with some of my best friends on the planet.  It's so nice to have friends that knew you when you were just a young person with no problems.  I'm gonna give them a shout out before we move forward. 



Cheryl and boo from high school.  Why am I the only one that has her mouth open?

Today I was working a little on canvas I'd like to sell at the Mistletoe Market Place    this November.  By the way, if you're near Nashville TN and want to be a vendor at this, sign up and come on down.  If you spend a couple of days, I 'll give you a tour of Music City.  Here's the beginning of a canvas, I was planning on the lay out. What do you thnk of the cool bird? It's  a vintage image from a bird book from my mother. 

I'm going to color the canvas with light blue acrylic paint, then stamp and then paint again.  A few pieces of collaged papers, covered again with paint.  More stamps, more paint and an inspirational saying--I'm not going to tell you yet. It will be a surprise! 




Tell me what you think of the vintage bird.  I was so intrigued by her and I'll be wrapping her long colorful tail around the canvas.  Yummers!
