My nieces!

Rings & Things ~ October Challenge

Yeah! My name got picked and Dave at Rings & Things sent me my challenge package. It contains some of their new products, glass bezels and tiles in several shapes and sizes. They also sent backing things (at a loss for words). I have been pondering what exactly to make. I have some ideas floating around and plan on spending next weekend playing with resin! :) I love resin.

Thank you Dave! I am so psyched.

update to yesterday

Sick kid - not mono or strep, just a virus....

Trying to get transfer paper work completed, phoned current school and was told 

"the woman who dues that idnt in" - really?

Husband - still crazy hours and STRESSED

But - there is no rain, we "fall back" this weekend, I have my wonderful nieces tonight (2 and 5) and all day tomorrow and it is Friday!

I.Can.Do.This!  :)

Ugh

Sick kid, school transfer paperwork to be done, blood work needs to be done for surgery, hubby working crazy hours and it's raining..............blech. Can I go back to bed?

A fun challenge!

Erin at Treasures Found is hosting a fun color challenge. I have asked her to send me my colors, not chosing them. Hoping that they present a stretch for me. Oh, can't wait. She has been very supportive and had some wonderful words when I needed them. Thank you!

Please go on over and check it out - should be great fun!

Halloween pictures, as promised

Here we are, kids, adults, food and all!

Sugar Plum Fairy - yes there is glitter on every makeup brush I own!

Woody and Rambo

Woody and Jessie!

It's a seafood cheese ball! For some reason, not many folks ate it.

We had a blast! I hope your Halloween was a fun one.

Happy Halloween

To all of you!

We are having our annual Halloween Party tonight (kids don't have school tomorrow) So hopefully I will have some pictures for you. Here are some of the decorations inside.

See you later! Be safe.

Rings & Things ~

I got their Fall Supplement in the mail. Not helping the shopping cart at all! Where to begin, well if I had to choose one thing it would be the Metal Stamping Kit. Have you seen this? Shears, block, hammers, hole punch, metal files, brass brush, 36 piece stamp set and instructions! Oh my. This would be perfect as I am just beginning to learn to play with metal. I could use every single piece here (and it would mean that I could add more to my shopping cart.....) Oh, a girl can dream........

(close your eyes and picture wonderfulness - tried to copy but it wouldn't work) and then click on the below link to see! 

Rings & Things wonderfulness.

Camera Help, please

I have started saving for a SLR camera but have no idea what I should be looking at. I would love to hear your thoughts about what is wonderful ~ bodies, lenses, make etc. Please, please, please.  Thank you all!

My own story necklace

Beth Hemmila's (hint jewelry) charms are the most wonderful things going. I purchased one, it sat and was lonely, so I purchased a few more and created my own story necklace.  The house is my home, my heart, my family. The crown is my daughter, princess on the stage and the heart is my little man, the bean. I do love this piece. It represents that which is so important to me. I give thanks when I put it on (sounds silly, yes.)

Please go check out her wonderful pieces! I will have to go and get a few more soon.

Thank you,  Beth for your wonderful charms.
