Warm Fuzzies!

Am I the only one that gets a warm, fuzzy feeling

 over knowing that

 Ebay and PayPal employees

 share a building?

I was in Arizona for a wedding over the weekend.

The photo was taken through the car window and I was

lucky

to get it!

This is not their headquarters..... that's in California...

this is just one of many offices around the world...

but I love seeing them together.

If only Etsy were there!

Zines, zines, zines!

 The Zine Round Robin continues in the QB5 group (links on side bar)...

This is Carole's Memories From My Childhood zine...

She and Nathalie have worked in it... and now me....  two more to go...

I struggled with it and ended up doing a kind of scrapbook of celebrities of my childhood...

 I was VERY into Annette, Sandra Dee, etc..... a child of the 50's...

We hope to have these zines back to their homes by the end of this year.....

I can't wait to see what they've done in my "Grandma's Photos" zine!

A Weekend for the Birds

 Yes.... I have a "thing" for birds....

spotted this dove on the wire across the field on Saturday in College Station...

 It didn't matter if the teams were under her or not.... she stayed.

It didn't matter when they kicked an extra point..... or when her friend joined her...

She stayed almost all of the first half!

Then....

on Sunday morning I went to get dressed for church...

a Mockingbird became a peeping tom...

 There are 3 side windows along the top of our shower.....

there is no door... and she could watch me put on make up and dress...

 I found her so cute and funny...

I talked to her and took a ton of pictures...

 Even put her on my Instagram....

 Sometimes she sat in one of the other windows....

 She didn't care how close I got.... all these shots are with my iphone...

 Well.... when we got home from church.... she was still there...

I had gone outside and put some bread out...

Filled up the bird bath....

But now it's become "less cute"....

She's pecking loudly on the windows!!!!

I'm putting animal figurines in the windows...

 Above is a shot of her reaction to the piggy bank....

Below is her flapping her wings.

I think she's going to die from the stress of wanting in...

I finally put mirrors in the windows and she left....

I kind of hope tomorrow is bird free....

(all pictures taken with iphone...even the ones at the football game...

they would've been better with my good camera... oh well)

Shutter Me Timbers!

 Got my shutters hung in one of the guest rooms!

I will show you a "true" picture when I have a lamp, the bedside table I want, and curtains....

These are the shutters.

I bought them in Canton, Texas at First Monday Trade Days...

YEARS ago!

In my last house, I used them in windows..

Didn't know how I could use them in the new house...

Aren't they beautiful?

Help Me!

I love these cards!

If you aren't on Facebook, you may not have seen them....

Your best....

Did you have a nice weekend? 

Did you wear your best skirt?

This was at her "other grandmother's" house....

but I got to "keep" her while everyone went to "the game"!!!!

You were wondering...

 I know you were wondering about my mantle issues...

Finally found a painting we love!

So...you see I HAVE been doing stuff.

I've also been working on some things for Christmas
(and they involve the colors red and white and Santa Claus). 

But based on the comments I got last year when I posted about Christmas this early...

 I am waiting to show you! ha!

Have a nice weekend....
