Worn Out

Hey there,

Almost forgot about this post. I am just super worn out and haven't felt the best this weekend. Had a rough week last week and am gearing up for another one this coming week. Oh well, I like $$ so gotta keep going.

Here are some recent pages I have been messing with:

The sun in the next to the last one, I colored with my TH Distress Markers and did the One Hot Breath thing and it turned out kinda cool. The second page that has the card that reads, Bad Break is dedicated to my son who decided to hook his big # 13 foot around something at work and broke his ankle this week. Yikes! So now we have to wait to see about surgery or not!

And this last one for your enjoyment:

This is the front of my phone that has a cracked screen after I dropped it this week. $99.00 to fix it, but it still works fine. I just have to look through spider webs to see anything. Oh well. It stays broked!!

I know this is short, but I am bushed and I need to call my friend back that called when I was visiting at my folks.

Back at ya next weekend.

Just a Quicky

Tim Holtz Distress Markers are in the house! Woot! Went to Hobby Lobby for a get away and almost fainted when I found these. $14.99 for 5 markers. They only had two sets. Of course I bought both.

Came home and immediately painted this sun stamp with the markers and stamped.

 WOW! Too cool. So I now have 10, only need 27 more! Hee!

WOTW to Win

This is my submission to my friend, Cheryl's WOTW series.

In December, I got deep back into LOA (Law of Attraction) because of my day job being so negative all of time. I need more positive interaction and thinking. I created this Vision Board, above, and got to thinking waaay better everyday. I even went as far as believing that I would have a million dollars by my birthday which was last Monday. Well, I am not 1 million dollar's richer, but learned a great lesson. And that lesson is you have got to stick with it, and never falter in those belief's, ever. I allowed myself to stop believing about mid February, when my day job handed me more negativity. It is what it is, and I must work, so there ya go!

Please go check out Cheryl's blog. She is the bestest!!

Mixed Emotions, Sherlock, Allergies & Cars

Today a Stanislaus County Sheriff Deputy that was gunned down last week in Modesto was laid to rest. Very very sad.

I went to a friend's yard sale sale today and bought a boat load of Sherlock Holmes books. Love Mr Holmes.

My car cost me $826.00 on Tuesday because the check engine light was on and had been on for at least a year, and it is time to have it smogged, (Thanx California) and it would not pass smog with that light on. So that was that until this afternoon when I looked and guess what? Yep, it was on again. ARG!!! So back it went and they just called to pick it up and now it is out again. I just wanted to cover up the light with a piece of tape. LOL !

Well, that brings me to my allergies and yukky eyes and sneezing since yesterday. Yikes! Love the nuts and fruit, hate the blooms. I had 2 eye appointments this week, one for cataracts and one for new specs. Easy stuff.

My friend Lotus is coming over in the morning for a 3 hour art journal get together! Woo Hoo! That will be fun.

And with that, I will say goodbye, but also please go here and check out this new art journal magazine called Featuring, that will feature art journal artist's that are not so famous. Cool, I might even try to submit something.

Have a good weekend.

New Blogger Test Post and Some Bees

Blah Blah Blah

This Gi-normous Bee Thing was in my neighbor's tree this week. Yikes!! This new Blogger doesn't look too scary. I hope.

Joy Is.....Being Safe From the World

This is what actually happened 30 miles from where I live in Stockton last Wednesday. Yikes! We don't see this type of severe weather much here, but this week it has been nuts. I was in Visalia 150 miles away on Wednesday and got trapped in a Michael's Store while it hailed, had lots of steak lightening and ton's of thunder. It rained about an inch in a half hour, I swear. I was OK where I was and continued to shop LOL, but other folks and their little kids were scared. I over heard one lady say, "I moved out here to get away from this kind of weather and it followed me." She was from the mid west. My DIL called and was freaked out when she looked at the weather channel and saw what was going on at my home. Crazee! I got hailed on yesterday out trying to buy an internet booster for this house. That frozen rain kinda hurts. It has continued all week. This afternoon it is actually looking better.

Also, when I got home there was sadness happening in Modesto again. A Deputy Sheriff and a Locksmith went to a condo to serve an eviction notice to the occupants. When they knocked on the door they were both shot and killed on the spot. So sad.

But there was some happiness when I got home and found my pre birthday happy mail from my friend Cheryl:



I really needed this book and always need new stencils and she also sent some copic markers but I put them away before I remembered to take a pic. Love happy mail! Go check out Cheryl's blog. She is having a 500th post give away.

Oh yea, and while I was trapped in Michael's, I found a yummy paper pad, by Jolee's Boutique. It is called French General. And all of it looks like old wallpaper that my Grandma had:




Since I can never find old wallpaper books at the paint stores, this is the next best thing! Yum! I love vintage stuffs.

And to top off the week I found a new 32 gig Ipod Touch on Craigslist for $200.00, so I grabbed it, cause I got my taxes back! Woot! Dans Dans!!

Have a great weekend.

WOTW For a Friend

I believe I saw this on a wall somewhere recently.

Or it should be.

Check out my friend Cheryl's WOTW this week. She has the coolest Tuna can on her post that I have ever saw.

Very snazzy!
