smorgasbord

i have received some of the most wonderful goodies from girls in blogland, and
i wanted to share these with you ... my friend Zita sent me two gorgeous french
canadian magazines from the 1920s ... the cover graphics are stunning:

from Andrea, i received the beautiful "Audrey" bag that i won in her giveaway:

and Lisa sent to me the most amazing assortment of arting goodies ... she had
read on my blog that i suffered a shortage of lovely lady images and she sought
to remedy that ... {the lovely ladies are lovely indeed, but i failed to capture that
with my camera} ... along with sending me a fabulous supply of vintage goodness:
wallpaper, ric rac, bits and baubles, flowers, and lace ... check out the garters too:

ladies, thank you so much ... you have no idea how happy and delighted you
made me with your generous gifts ... they are all appreciated greatly ...


i never did buy that bubble wrap ... must do that tomorrow ... but i did
update my shop today ... i hope someone will love my pink cuties ...

did you know that you can purchase individual tutorials from "artist class" ...
yep, it's true ... go here to see all of the classes available ... thanks for coming
over to see me ... i truly appreciate everyone who takes the time to do so!

little pink girls ...

leaving glittery trails ... i am not even kidding, you would not believe how much
glitter is scattered all over my house right now ... i think i have representatives
from all the different factions too ... i've got your mica, your clear german glass,
your fairy dust, and a little bit of real silver ... boy, that mica flies too ... i might
even have some of that dangling from my ceiling ... here are the culprits who
are responsible for making said glitter trails:

"gwenneth"

"pipsqueak"

and "sally"

will be available in my etsy shop as soon as i get my buns to the store to buy
some more bubble wrap ... it ain't gonna be today though ... i will be too busy
vacuuming ... and visiting you of course! thanks for coming by to see me!

friday *sigh*

sorry if i have missed your posts ... we are having trouble with our internet
signal here over the last several days ... it's so frustrating ... i do have a good
signal now, so i wanted to show you something that i finished this morning for
my etsy shop ... i have four projects going right now, and i am surprised that i
actually was able to finish something ... this glittered up snow~man:

i don't have time to list him today, if you are interested he should be in my
shop by sunday or monday at the latest ...

say "ello" to his lil' frien' ... hee hee

i am so excited! i had an email from Cerri this morning to tell me that my little
pink snowbaby was featured in the etsy gift guide ... woot!

i have been dreaming of filling my Christmas tree this year with all sorts of
paper goodies ... sadly, this is as far as i got with that notion:

i know ... this post is kind of a hodge podge ... before you leave to go off and visit
someone who is more organized and coherent ... i wanted to tell you that my girl
Miss Texas aka: Jamie is having a blowout giveaway of gorgeous old photos that
you DO NOT want to miss out on a chance of winning! and i also ask that you
will keep Shauna in your prayers and her family that loves her so!

have a wonderful weekend!!!
