WOW; its been a while!

I'm so sorry about not writing sooner! We went out of town for Thanksgiving so I haven't had a chance to put up my scrapbook. But YES, ITS FINALLY DONE! I need to take a few more pictures tomorrow... or maybe just make a video of it to show off. :)

I have a video on youtube also that I made of Tink. I'm sure most of my readers have seen it due to the fact they are mostly on my myspace friend's list. But its just a little Thank You video for everyone that has been counting on her to get better. If you haven't or want to see it send me a comment and I'll send you the link. :)

Alsoooo, Christmas came a little early for me this year. Bad; I know but boy was I excited! Ellis bought me a new camera!!! It is a kodak, like the one I already had but it is a whopping 12mp! It has high definition video WITH ZOOM!!! :O! You really have no earthly idea how excited I was when he told me he had gotten it for me.
We usually do Christmas early because our annivarsay is also on Christmas. And it just kinda works out a little betterto do that. :)

But anywoo; thanks so much for the thoughts and such for my sweet little Tink! I hope everyone had a wonderful and full Thanksgiving! Also, that scrapbook will be up (hopefully tomorrow) soon so keep an eye out for it!

Tib Bits

I thought I would share this with you really quick before I got on Ellis's Monday morning card. Ive had this stationary for ever; since I was a kid. My sister gave it to me for christmas one year and it obviously became one of my favorite boxes.
I was looking at it last night thinking OH MY GOODNESS. The poor box had stickers all over it. If you seen it before and now you probably wouldnt recognize it!

I didnt take any before pictures but these are the afters. The first one on the left is the box and its 'take-out' compartment empty and the one on the right is the one with all my goodies in it.

I have to admit, i absolutely love this box now; even more than I did before!!

My Desk Project

Well, since my mini scrapbook is at a stand still I decided to go for a much bigger approach. I got to thinking about what furniture i had that was unused and needed desperately to be recycled by some of my go go juice. :] Keep thinking and thinking about couldnt bring anything to mind until I walked into Ellis's little brother's room and saw my old teenage years desk sitting in his closet. Let me remind you that I was a young teenager when I got this desk and I didnt care about anything other than letting people draw all over it. So I got to thinking and realized that we had about 10 gallons of white paint in the shop out back. THEN is when I got excited.
I quickly had Coy clean all his junk out of the little desk and I hauled that booger outside to be made beautiful. So for i have put about 5 coats of paint on it and the old writing and drawing is still fading through. So Ellis got me some Kilz (spell check) and so far, its not bleeding through. I got really excited, especially since I live with a carpenter, when I thought about adding onto that little desk. So with it being a lazy Sunday for us, I sat here and drew this up::

Its a rough drawing of what I want the desk to look like when its done. :] Ellis called me crazy but Im pretty sure he can pull it off. The only thing thats actually going to be added onto the desk is the top of the drawing. The part with the drawers is obviously the original.

So just to explain a little: I want the back side to be peg board so I can hang up scissors and anything else that has a hole in it. I want the shelves on the right side for storage; I dont know how many yet but I know I want at least 3 compartments. Maybe eventually Ill get a light to hang from the top of the large... empty space that has the peg board behind it.
I dont know yet; still a massive work in progress and if you are married or dating a carpenter, you know they dont like to work when they arent at work. ;]


PS!! I want to paint some sort of designs on it so leave a comment telling me what you think I should do!

Hey Guys!

I haven't been around much lately; let alone post another blog. And I have a perfectly good reason. ((LOL!))

First off; I'm still working on my scrapbook. Its coming along quite nicely but I'm having a 'creative block' lately. I dont know what on earth to do with 2 of the pages. lol

Secondly; my oldest baby Tinker got run over this past Wednesday. She is summoned to her kennel for the next 2 FULL months. The count down started last Thursday and ends on... sometime in January.
She is doing a little better today but I really wish things were easier. When she got hit, her hip bones broke so she has to have around the clock care. She is taking 2 pills twice a day and 1 pill once a day; has to be hand fed and watered; and I have to hold her so she can go to the bathroom. Its putting quite a strain on us but we are going to make it through one day at a time.
I had to call the vet today about her not using the potty and she told me to give her vegetable oil and see how that works out. I'm sure you can imagine that mess. lol
But we love her and ask eveyone to keep her in their prayers until she gets better.

Thanks to all for being patient with me until I can get another post.
