Our book on Amazon!

Covernobleed Check it out...this is the book my sister wrote & I illustrated. You can find it now on Amazon.com! Its a cute story about my sister, Lisa's, two Rat Terriers, Rocky & Jake and of course you recognize Sweet Pea, I'm sure! Run on over to Amazon for a peek and let me know what you think! Click here to see the book..... 


We spent the weekend doing a little Spring Cleaning! We moved some furniture out of the bedroom and I couldn't believe how many magazines I had put aside to read later. Some from over 10 years ago! So I've been going through those and clipping out what I want to save and recycling what's left. I've also been trying to list a few things on ebay just to get stuff out of my way. I am ready to get rid of a lot....my husband won't get rid of his books, but I will! lol! I like to read them, then sell them or give them away. I'm ready for my bedroom to be cut back to the bare minimum, I think. I went through a stage where I wanted a lot of "stuff" in my bedroom, lots of decorations. Now I'm right the opposite. We had a Rusty primitive painted shelf, dressing table & chifferobe we took out (but I bought a new entertainment center that is a lot bigger than the chifferobe to go in their place). I have an antique couch and chest of drawers that will be going next and lots of "stuff". Some may go in my studio but most will end up on ebay! Click here to see what I have for sale now. I have two pretty white dresses that could be used as wedding dresses that I'll list this week. I don't enjoy ebay as much as I used to, but maybe I can make myself do it to get rid of some of the stuff I have accumulated!

New contest!

Whats_it Do you know what this is??? Its something I grew in my garden....the first person to correctly guess what it is by posting a comment on this post will win a prize from me! Just be sure to check your email so you can send me your address if you win. I'm not saying what the prize is yet--it will be a surprise, but it will be something good!!



Dexter This is my nephew's new puppy, Dexter. He's half Saint Bernard/Half Great Pyrenees and he is the cutest thing. He ran off Sunday morning while Tyler was gone to visit his Mom and we spent the entire week looking for him! We put up posters, put it on the radio, in the newspaper, called all the vets and the pound. Tyler came home Friday morning and we got a call about him Saturday morning. He wasn't lost close to my house, but he ended up right at the end of my street. I'm surprised I didn't see him because I turn right by that house every day!



Jacksonpapa  I kept Jackson yesterday....always fun! This is him playing with his Papa (my Daddy). They surely were having a good time!! I wanted a picture of them playing together but (of course) the batteries went dead while I was taking these!



PunkinIf you're wondering what the kitties have been doing....just hanging out and being lazy! I wish I could get as comfy on the couch as Pumpkin does!



I'm making some progress on the pile of dolls I've been working on for so long. Maybe I'll get new patterns on my site pretty soon! I did get a free pattern listed--I hope y'all all got to download it so you can make it for Halloween!



Speaking of Halloween Tyler & I went on Amazon.com to look for a copy of Frankenweenie. Have you seen it? If not, you have to....its really cute, in a Tim Burton kind of way. As usual I ordered a bunch of other stuff. I got a book about planning Halloween parties, some Halloween mad libs for Tyler and another Halloween book for us to read!

Apologies....



I apologize if you have gotten a bunch of emails about my last post. I don't know what's up--I have emailed feedblitz to find out what the problem is. So please hang in there if you keep getting them. I will either get this fixed or find a new program to use......



Meet_rocky_jake_2 Did I mention that my sister wrote the cutest story? I illustrated it and we put it on Lulu.com so we could have it printed. You can see the book here:
