Bloggers Block…
I haven’t been in a blogging mood lately… I just haven’t felt “crafty” or “creative” or like anything I had to share was new and/or noteworthy. I haven’t really made anything, too. Hmmm… too hot, perhaps? The summer… always puts me in a s-l-o-w and lazy mood.
I have a ton of pictures to share… a few stories… do you think it’s okay to post things that are old? :)
I did get some inspiration from Sandy at Art Tea Life… I have no idea where she gets the energy! So amazing and talented! And, she’s only one little town away!
So, let me try to remember that html stuff, sift through my hundreds of photos and I’ll be back soon!
Oh, and we got the webkinz… somehow my one order got tripled and I have to figure out how to get rid of them. If you are a store and want to buy them at cost, contact me… otherwise I need to hunt down my rep and make him pick up these darn ‘kinz!!!! over 400 of them… that I didn’t order… taking up a lot of room in my store. help.
What else… Halloween is up… I’m being daring and putting up a little bit of Christmas stuff this week aaannnndddd…. that’s it!
Lastly… we’re having an ant problem at the shop… I have to flick them off my leg and arm here and there, apparently I look like food. I was sitting at my desk and all of a sudden I see one crawling into my EYE!!! I run screaming into the bathroom… it was stinging SO bad and these are the little black guys!! In a panic, I flushed my eye out with water, still stinging. Finally, I pulled my bottom eyelid-thingy (technical term? I’m too freaked out to look it up) down to reveal that the little guy was dead… I had to pick him out of my EYE with a paper towel! EUGH, GROSS… I had no idea that would hurt so much. Ick. So… feeling defeated, I closed the store up early today, with a very red eye and shaken up quite a bit. I made 3/4 of a pair of earrings and watched a bad Keanu Reeves movie. Oh, the life of a jet-setting artist such as myself, never a dull moment ;)

I am laughing…gee I think I have HAD that day !
Good ! good for you closing up and going home and making your jewelry!
I bet this heat has kept your little place a tad quiet ?
Glad to see you surface from “the abyss” (as you said).
And to answer your question - some people have the magazine , but I dont think it is due out until Sept 1st ’round here. I have not seen a copy yet (wouldn’t you think I would have one ? hrumph!)
YOu have Halloween UP ? Oh if it is anything like last year it is
FA-A-A-N-N-N-Tastic !Can’t wait to see.
Yes I am BIZZY but you my friend are the one I marvel over in the energy department!
Stay away from ants.
(i.e., stop looking so TASTY!)
Love, S.

Nice to “see” you, chickie!! The ants are everywhere, I’ve had them in my house, mainly the bathroom (no one eats in there, odd place for them to turn up) and I think I’m winning the battle LOL I bet your Halloween Displays are too yummy for words, I love love love your displays!!
hugs
