busy week....

What a busy week! Weeell my mom and her new boyfriend visited earlier...Russ is wonderful and such a sweetie! We ended up taking a drive over to Kalamazoo and having lunch with Stephanie and Christopher...and Ashton. Later mom ran over to get Ashton so he could hang out and have dinner with us! I couldn't resist snapping a picture of his freshly shaven face with a nice neat hair cut!

Turner with the puppy...oh my he is such a camera ham!! Oscar is growing so fast.... weeeeeehhheee I got a new toy! One of my purchases visiting Ashton at World Market> i had to resist the urge for the spa robe for him...but ooh it was adorable...maybe next time i won't be able to resist...i swear he is liking having a new baby..or grandbaby..lol!

Ashton...pretty cute huh?...my son makes me proud!

Well let's see what else...oh! Dream Street Papers got talked about on the Diva Craft Lounge ( http://divacraftlounge.com/Archive.htm ) click on the CHA show..we are mentioned about 28 minutes in...a great show btw! They even mentioned my name..woohooo~ Tara was interviewed today too....so look out for that show!!

I picked out the paints for my next set of papers....hot pink is one of the colors...oooh it is soo purdy...can't give any more than that away....but keep tuned for sneak peeks in January...rofl..i know long time from now!

and let's see....ah big dent in my time...construction...Art is changing a few things in his theater..bigger screen and new projector..then we are getting a hot tub..woo hoo and deck

and FOOTBALL season..oh yippee...actually Tyrus is so excited, this is his first year. I think i ambringing the camera tonight to play with...no art this week...but soon i have some major art catching up..i think it will call for no sleep..lol!

well that is all for now...hopefully next time i will have some art to share...

new stuff in my store...

I decided to sell some of my collages. I have no idea why i have been saving them...time to clear out the old to make room for new...I had read some where on a fengshui site that if you are trying to lose weight, that it is a good idea to purge your home...ah....she obviously hasn't seen my home..or my butt!!..rofl...any way i have been purging...and am going to keep on purging until i get it all done. I have that need to lighten my load...in my 5800 sq ft house and 58sq ft body..rofl!..okay i have been doing that positive affirmation thing..saying things like they already have happened...so i now refer to my body as my "little body"..ha ha ha..hey it sounds so much nicer to my ears and big brain..lool~

gees can you tell i have had a bit to drink..a glass of wine on an empty stomach..oooh boy...lol!

any way i hate to sound like a stalker...but i was over at Elsie Flannigans blog(again) and noticed a challenge that she presented...to scrap about "24 things to do before she turns 25"..and i was thinking that actually might be interesting...i am 42..and my 43rd birthday isn't for another 10 months...that 42 things is doable..so i might actually create that list...but not tonight...I am adding it to that list though.....lol!

any way, so far i have the collages and prices for sale posted on my website..here... i have not had the time to do the arduous task of creating the paypal buttons yet..so if you want one email me here" geminiangelart13@yahoo.com~

okay off to see what might happen at the art table tonight..

last green collage....

Okay here it is...my last green collage. I wasn'tsure i would have the time or gumption to get this one done too..but i did..and they are on their way out to CA!!

phew my list is slowly getting done..here is my list i made earlier this week..so i could keep track. I ended up almost having an anxiety attach instead once I realized all the stuff i need to art...this does not include all the tasks of everyday being the mom of 6 kids...4 of which are home and driving me nuts...lol!

any way here is the list...no particular order other than how i wrote them...although additions went above and inbetween the original list..

*Create new papers(...this means two sets of 9 originals...first draft..including research and gathering ideas and supplies)

*Dark RR book (start the new one..includes cover,introduction,sign in pages and two spreads)

*Green Collages for Somerset **DONE**
*Charms (...actually two swaps...one due in Sept the other due in October...am hostessing both)

*tropical zine (this is next after i finish the tiles...2 years due...rofl..one of those UFO forever projects)

*tiles for Altered Sisters (have 3 more to go...see blog for the ones i did)

*Mail Frame to Tracy and crystal to Dana *DONE*

*Flat Sissies (14 original 4x4's due sept sometime of little characters sent in by each artist)

*Wee folk...two little gnomes to make as thank you's..waaaaaaaay over due

*Lorri's fabric art (from Lorri Scotts fabric pack..a sample of some sort)

*Jeri's teacup fairy...**DONE** other than packing and mailing

*Scrap her Picture swap...this is where i will get a scan of my partners photo(s) and i pick enough supplies to send to her to scrap her pictures

*scavenger hunt stash swap *DONE* I had to fulfil a list of items...15-20 of the list of 20 to send tomy partner..that was fun..but still it took time..about 2 hours to find and package it all. things like -5 white things-50buttons-10 pieces of chipboard, something metal...etc

*Diva Dictionary pages. 14 5x7 either original or copies with great embellies...

*create 3 more Fairy Rider sheets....okay at 6 images per page x 1.5 hours average..plus 1 hour each sheet time..that right there is about 30 hours work alone...

so i am sure if i thought about it there is more to do...phew!..doesn't it make you tired?....

hah!but the challenge is what makes my blood flow hot!....so off i go to get hot and sweaty first on my new eliptical...and then clean the house..and then and then and then...you'd think i would be some skinny thing....

a little art today too....

despite all the excitment of new toys being delivered i actually squeezed in a bit of art...

i finished Jeri's pin..i hope she likes it!

today's fun....

my sagas for today...life sure isn't ever boring around here....well today was delivery day...while waiting paitently all day for a package for my husband i got a call that my eliptical was repaired and our friend was bringing it over right after work..well we ended up taking it partially apart to bring it up the stairs! ..here is Keith putting it back together...and me taking a little test drive!..lol!

and then the crate came....the semi backed into our driveway to unload Art's crate...it is huge. When Art came home we determined that we needed to inpect for any damage..well i didn't think it was neccesary to wait for him to take the screws out so i grabbed the corless and went to town....Art thought itwas so cool that i just went ahead and did that...therefore he tok pictures of me...the other one has my tummy hanging out..so i won't show that one...rofl! this is one giant crate...wowsers!!

what is in the crate? Well a new theater screen for Art's theater...he is changing his projectors and getting a bigger badder screen...it has motorized masking.... go here to see his theater: http://www.artsonneborn.com
