Here are some close up shots...They still don't show off the pretty beads as well as they could. Maybe when I take shots of the rest of them, I will take them with the wrap off and the beads will show up better. We live and learn

These are my bottle charms that I created. I needed something to put on my bottle of water when I put it in the refrigerator at work, so that I would know which bottle was mine when I came back to drink it later. This is what I came up with. Don't you just love the bottle I made to hang them on...LOL!!! These just hang over the neck of your bottle, and they have your name on them. I had a friend at work who liked them so well, she asked me to make her 4 of them. This is what I did on my day off while I was suffering from a stinking cold. Thank goodness for zicam. I could feel worse...Not feeling very good, but better than I could be.

Such a slacker!!!!

I love writing to my blog, but I just get so busy that I forget. I had a wonderful day off yesterday. I got up and made caramel corn. Then I took 1/4 of the caramel corn, and covered it with orange candy melts. Then I took another 1/4 and covered it with green candy melts. When I tell you this turned out delicious...I am not kidding. The only thing I forgot, was to put peanuts in it. Oh well, it tastes so good that noone will miss the peanuts. I made boxes and when I get home from work this morning, I am going to fill the boxes and deliver them to my family. Yay!!!!! They were supposed to be for Halloween...better late than never...is my philosophy.(If only you could see my sheepish smile)
Well, off to get ready for work.
Have a great day...I plan on it.

6 minutes before I have to get ready for work...so, I tell myself, what better thing to do that post a message on my blog...and the answer is...housework. Well, as you can see I picked the lesser of the evils...LOL!!!
I just had three glorious days off from work, got to spend time with family, one of my favorite things to do. I made some felt cupcakes and donuts for Christmas presents, and did some crocheting. I shopped at my favorite store...AC Moore. (should I get paid for saying that...LOL!!!) I could spend a fortune there. If only I had the fortune to spend. I just love that store.
So, now I only have 2 minutes and am going to get myself going. So...I hope everyone has a great day, as I plan to.

Believe it or not, I am getting excited about Christmas coming. What???? you say! Halloween isn't even here yet. Well, I am trying to make a lot of presents for Christmas this year, as money is tight...(just like it is for many many people). So I am having loads of fun, trying to figure out what I can make that will make everyone happy. It seems like two months is a long time, but I know that it will be here before I can blink. So with this in mind, I am trying to work on at least one present for a couple hours every night.
I want to post some more pictures, but will have to take the time...LOL!!! And there is always so much I want to do. Sometimes. I just sit in my chair and watch tv because I can't decide what I want to do the most. Do you think I am nuts? Well, I do. But it's ok. I like being a little nuts.
Well off to work...and another wonderful day in the neighborhood.

Well, let me see...what wonderful news can I impart today. Ok, well maybe today isn't a wonderful news day, but I am up, awake, and healthy. I think I am not feeling bad...so it must be a wonderful day. Another added bonus...I don't hear any rain outside. Maybe we will be blessed with a sunny day for a change.
I made cookies yesterday, and yes, I did try them out. I had a peanut butter cookie, and a sugar cookie. Now that means that I probably will not budge the scales any lower today, but that is ok. Today is a new day and today can be a good day. It will be what I make it so I think that I will make it good.
Hey everyone...have a wonderful day. Make it yours, and make it good.

Good Morning World. Another wonderful day in the neighborhood. It is getting cooler, and I am not too keen on that, but well, so far all is right with the world and I will thank God for that.
Have been having some tummy troubles since the bout I had a few days ago. Nothing horrible, just a lot of gas, discomfort, and some pains when I stretch to the right side or lift something too heavy. I do have an appointment with the surgeons office on the 18th, so unless it gets really bad I will wait for that.
I was visiting my Mom last week, and she said she wished she had a sweater set that my Gram used to make, to send to her grand nephew...who just had a baby girl. So, I came home and proceeded to see if I could make one. I found a lovely pattern http://krstl.tripod.com/id26_drawstring_purse.htm (scroll down to second pattern.) I adjusted it a little to suit my beginner ways...and this is what I came up with.
