Saturday is GAME DAY! We will be there!

I've Been Tagged

Oh my goodness! Arlene over at Altered State of Mind tagged me! I've never been tagged. This is a hard one, too. I am to list 6 weird or interesting things about myself. I might have a hard time coming up with six things but I'll try. Then after I list 6 things about myself I have to find another six people to tag. 1) The above quilt is one I made for Jerry ver Dorn to put on The Guiding Light. He played the part of Ross Marler for YEARS. So this quilt was on the show at least twice. I do not know where it is now. But at the time our "Blossie" group went wild on the internet...this was in the 90's when the Marler twins were born.

2) I could eat Tex-Mex every day!

3) I have to sit on the aisle in movies, at church, in a class...but not on a plane.

4) My art room is very messy....isn't that interesting?

5) I'm addicted to paper art, but love to embroider and have several quilts that I need to finish, but all I want to do is glue paper together

6) Oh...here's a goodie....I appeared on stage in Galveston in a musical production when the USS Texas was commissioned in September of 2006....that was weird! But fun!

Now I have to pick six lucky people to tag.....Nathalie, Angie Christy, Anna-Marie, Beth, Carrie

Back to School

School started this week! The only child I have in school is my daughter.....who teaches 4th Grade! There is a list going round on the blogs...what do you remember about the first day of school?

*The smell of the books, I loved that.

*The smell of the soap and brown paper towels in the restrooms....I loved that, too.

*Milk money

*My plaid book satchel

*New saddle oxfords

*In Ft. Worth, TX it was hot

Ok...tag you're it!

One day...

A friend sent me the Splenda Flavor Blends for coffee. It's pretty yummy.

I'm waiting for an installer to arrive. Finally picked out some new light fixtures...out with the old gold brass stuff. One of the fixtures hangs in the entry hall from the second story....should be interesting. I have brought art down that needs sewing to occupy myself once they arrive. I don't want to watch. I still sew at the kitchen table...one day I'll rectify that. One day I'll have a dream "studio", too.

I have to call people to come and rip my bathroom apart and make it better. I do not want to do that....but apparently that is the only way it will get done. I have a painter coming tomorrow...I have taken some baby steps....one day it will be all finished and then we'll move. Meanwhile, I'll drink coffee and plan.

Give them wings!

What a blessing it is to have friends that know you would like to get torn butterfly wings from them. These came in the mail from Nathalie. What a joy! Those of you that do collage understand about picking strange items up off the ground and putting it in your pocket. When my twenty-something daughter and I are walking through a parking lot and I suddenly bend down...she says "Don't pick that up." She is already showing concern for what her future children will have in their pockets after they've been to see grandma. Maybe it will be wings!

Because I Said So is a link you really need to look at. Be sure and run to the bathroom before you read it though! Thanks for sharing this with me, Christy!

The Postal Inspector

My postal inspector's name is Charley. He is a five year old Golden Retriever and he knows everything that comes in or goes out of this house. That's my bag for my first trip to the P.O. today....mailing some books for a swap on the Christian Paper Artists Yahoo Group (link in sidebar). It's a gothic shaped book...inspired byBelinda Schneider. Here is a bigger sneak peek...I'm waiting to load the pages until the girls get their books.
