Angles with Tracy!

Over at http://tracys-trinkets-treasures.blogspot.com she's having an angles party. This first one was taken awhile ago but I love it. It was taken in the car and I didn't notice my wonderful son was even in the picture till I reviewed it. I died laughing! What a goob!
This one is from the fair last summer. I couldn't get outside to take any pics today because of the darn rain! But I love this one. Finally my awesome dog Ray. I got down on the floor and pretty much got in his face. No, he's not dead. He's just a good dog! Till the mailman runs!!

Playing at Theme Thursday on a Monday!

I decided to play over at http://themethursday.wordpress.com this week and the theme is mustache. It is an atc size layered with vintage paper first. Then I added layers of paint scraped on. I added a little white smooshed around with my finger and used a "thing-a-ma-jig" that was a circle shape with a little white paint as well. Then used some stamps and words I had cut out from a book. I'm really lovin his party hat!! hehe! You should go play too!

Button button who's got the button's?

Well I do!! I went to the antique store uptown the other day and found this whole container of buttons for 20.00. Had to buy it!! There are so many buttons in this thing. Little containers of buttons, shell buttons, absolutely beautiful buttons!! These are my favorite ones!! They are crystal or glass? I don't know and I don't care! They are sparkly and I've never seen buttons like these before! The little roses are inside of the button. So cool!

Plus these! Sadly there were only two. But they are beautiful! Oooh and these! Love love this green! There were only three of these beauties. Love them!
Like I said there were a ton of little containers of buttons in this thing. Someone even had them sorted by color. I think I definitely got my 20 bucks worth!!
My very silly kitty Binks. One minute she loves ya the next she hates ya. I think she's bi-polar!;)

Plus my lovely boxer Ray. I love this dog. The best dog EVER!! Just sayin!! Hope everyone has a totally beautiful day!!!

TOOT TOOT TOOT!!!!

I am totally tooting my own horn today!! My circus quilt won FIRST PLACE!!! I have never won anything for any of my quilts until now!! Here it is on the stage at the craft show I did on Saturday. My family actually knew about it all week and didn't tell me till the show! I was like "really, It got first?" Wow!!

I do not like this picture one bit. I was on stage and my dad was down below me and he took this. I don't like it, period! But hey I GOT FIRST PLACE!!!!

Makin some magnets!

This Saturday is a Home and Garden and craft show that I'm doing. So I've been busy getting things ready for that. I've been making some magnets to sell. I always sell a ton of these things and every year there is always something that someone asks for that I didn't have.
Last year it was Elvis, so I made some with him. Plus some Elizabeth Taylor ones as well.
I think I'll make some Shirley Temple ones next. Plus some odds and ends of some funky stuff. Baby strollers and what not.
These are the glass marbles I use. I buy them at the Dollar Tree because I like them better. They are flatter and rounder and clearer, and they are only a dollar!!
I buy the magnet buttons at good ol Wally-world. Why I call it that I don't know, maybe cause my mom did! Oh and a 1 inch circle paper punch and glue.
Last but not least is a pic I just wanted to share of our Boxer Ray. He always looks out this door and I am FOREVER cleaning the snot off of it!! Only when the mail-man comes does it get shut! He doesn't like him at all! Well I hope everyone has a great day, or evening because it's now 6:00 in the evening here! See ya!!
