Wacky Doodle Wednesday!

Hi ya'll!

One of my favorite characters is this cat on tv commercials who is planning to take over the world.  Day-by-day he starts to grow thumbs and once all the cats in the world have thumbs they will take over the world.
Watch, be careful you'll spit your milk out while watching this.

Don't forget this weekend is the premier weekend for the new Red Carpet Studio   challenge blog:

We'll be giving away one of these:

Linking up to Friendship Friday 

Come back tomorrow for my favorite quote of the week. You're gonna love it!

Monday is a lame way to spend 1/7 of your life!

Really, Monday Already?

The only good thing about Mondays is that it's one day closer to Friday.
I'm still on a mission to ban Monday work days, all my protest letters to my local political officials have been signed, sealed and delivered (not really).  Now we wait.

One good thing about today is that you can sign up for this giveaway. It's a cute little glass magnet that will inspire you daily--like on Mondays!

Rainbow Sherbert Delight Summer of Color2 week 1

It's been a little over a year since I've been blogging, last year I really jumped right into blog land when I stumbled on this blog, Twinkle Twinkle like a star with wonderfully themed Summer of Color Challenges.  They are weekly challenges that are so much fun, you can choose to participate every week or not.

This summer the color challenge is inspired by ice cream flavors.
Yes, that's right.
I said Ice Cream flavors!
Week 1 Rainbow Sherbert.
Whatever project I choose to complete should have bold, orange, yellow, pink and touches of white.
Mine was a simple creation of a plastic key chain.

If you wanted to complete this project, go get you some "decorate yourself key chains" at Michaels.
Use alcohol inks to color the back of key chain. Allow it to dry.  Flip the key chain over, use Stayz On ink and stamp a favorite stamp on the front.  I used matte modge podge on the back to keep it all together.

Remember I'm hosting a silly little giveaway on my Facebook and Blog page.  You could win:

 The giveaway includes this cool key chain....Come on by HERE!! for a chance to win. June 12 is the deadline.  All you have to do is guess about a picture I've posted and the big reveal is Tomorrow!!

Scooting By To Say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

How many cricut cut circles(basic shapes cartridge) does it take to make a cute Birthday card?
oh, about....
this many!
This was my first use of water color pencils....

I'm entering this cutie into the Bitten by the Bug2 Birthday Challenge

I "attached" the balloons with a little charm, which was a part of the Simply Less is Moore Blog Challenge

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

Hello Friends!
It's a lovely Sunday here in Nashville TN.  It's pretty cool today, but a LOVELY sunshiny day!
Hope you're Sunday is a  Hopping good day!

What is with the mustache craze these days?
It's not that I mind mustaches,
I love me some facial hair tickles!
It is a cute craze, so, when I found the mustache stickers at Michaels...I just had to buy them!  Don't you think this little guy has so much more personality with a handle bar mustache?

My sister asked me to make her some little animals for a baby shower. These images are from the "Live Simply" Cricut cartridge.

 Here I used the Tim Holtz checkerboard stamp and heat embossed the stamp image onto the bottom layer of the turtle.  I loved the texture it created!

Snorkling anyone?
It might be hard to tell, but this little turtle has an air tank and flippers.

This is one cool cricut dude!  Love his sunglasses!

Time Travel Thursday

Time travel is so fun, isn't it?  We don't need no stinking special machine or Michael J. Fox!  We only need a few old photos and some memories!

Where shall we go today?

What vintage picture should I pull from the archives of our family's albums?

Since we are honoring my father's EIGHTY FOURTH birthday, let's stroll down memory lane with him. 

Remember to visit this  link to enter into a giveaway!

Here he is circa late 1950s or early 1960s.  He was a mess Sargent--which meant, he managed the food hall.  

looks like a good cup o'joe and a ham sandwich

dad is on the right

Quite handsome fella, wasn't he? No wonder my mom chased him across Germany to keep him.

Here's a picture of him in his paratrooper gear:

Can you imagine carrying around all that stuff 

I love the smile on his face!  He was in his element!

my mom took some really cool pictures.

My father is very proud of his Airbourne wings and here is an example of him coming out of a plane.  He's in this gaggle of parachutes somewhere.  I remember as a little child going to the parade grounds to watch the planes fly over and my dad was one of them jumping out.  It was cool!

WoW! Isn't that amazing!?

Monday is a lame way to spend 1/7 of your life!

Good morning friends!
I hope your weekend and easter was wonderful.  Me, we had a nice family get together to celebrate some April birthdays. For some reason we love props in our family.....

Remember, I'm hosting a fun giveaway  in honor of my dad's 84th birthday!

I'm celebrating 47 years on this planet today.  So glad I have a twin to share the day with!

My father's birthday was just a few days ago and in honor of his 84th birthday I'm hosting a giveaway.  

Oh yes!  I am!

Stop by this posting to enter!

It's a GIVEAWAY again! whoopeee

You may remember that for my mother's 79th birthday we celebrated the entire month of January to celebrate and then we had some lucky winners that got some GRAND prizes. 

It's my dad's birthday and we are celebrating!  This week he is

 I'm so lucky to have him around!  He tells some of the best old army stories.
Here he is leaving for Vietnam in 1969 surrounded by all his girls!



I'm the cute one..figure that one out. hahahahahaa

 His most favorite activity on the planet is golfing(after making 6 babies--sorry, got a little R rated there)
But additionally, when he's sitting, he's reading

Now he's 84 and the same father I had growing up, maybe just a little mellowed out. 


One funny thing about him and pictures is that he hates getting his picture taken.  

can you say LOVE?  57 years.....

Dad gets soooo tired of having his picture made.  When this picture was being taken he said, "God Damn, When are you going to run out of film?"  Sorry for the language peeps, but that's my dad's favorite word.  We all laughed at him because to his irritation we NEVER run out of "digital" film.  Poor dad!



Now...to the giveaway. 
In honor of my pop's 84 birthday I'm giving away 84 (or a little more) crafting items.  OH BOY!  You can't even see it all in this picture:

brads and ribbons and embellishments

stickles and crackle paint and paper and stickers

paper, paper and more paper.

Come on let's party like we are 84 years old! 

 

PS. When I called to wish my dad a happy birthday, first I had to sing the worst rendition of "Happy Birthday" ever (family tradition). To his credit he did holler for an encore. 

 

Then I asked if he was going to paint the town red?

(in case you're not familiar with that term it means, go out and party) 

 

The cute little German lady said, "We already did that...30 years ago."
And there you go.
