A Little Promo Time

Howdy Beloved Reader- I miss you. I don't have time to blog but I just wanted to say that I wish I did. Instead of blogging let me show you what I've been up to in pictures.

I took this picture this morning on a little site called Instagram. You may have heard of it.  I have been on this picture taking app long before it got bought by Facebook. Long before it had sponsors. Long before anyone even knew it was there. And today I just shot my 2500 picture on there. That's a whole lotta insta- grams ;) wouldn't you say? If you have time to look at 2500 pictures and can come back here and tell me what my first photo on there was there might .. No, there WILL be a prize in it for you!! I posted the pic with this lil blurb; "It's good to be reminded that no matter how fierce the storm may blow, at the end when the wind dies down and the rain stops Gods promises are true and HE is beyond faithful."
Here's where you can find me on there; NoDotss Just so you know its where I check in (social media wise)more often than anywhere else. Shh.... don't tell my blog ;)
When I'm not taking 2000 + photos I've been preparing for the McQueen Craft Show coming up. I now have two children that attend McQueen High School and so it gives me great pleasure to be a part of this craft show, because all the proceeds go to the students of McQueen.  Here's some of the stuff you might see at my booth if you come out and see me this weekend.

Vintage Pillow Case Aprons, pattern and design by yours truly ;)

Sweater Felted Headbands modeled by the LOVERLY Chloe Nashelle, 

And Embroidered Hoops with some pretty darn funny quotes on them.

Those are just a few teasers of what will be at my table.

I'm super excited to be teaming up with my friend Jami this year.

If you live in the Reno, Nevada area the show is Friday, Sat, Sunday and I hope to see you there!

Funny Southern Sayings and What Nots

Well Hello There Beloved Reader  " I ain't seen you in a month of Sundays!" or as I would normally say that, it has been a busy, busy month.  We are having our own kind of Octoberfest over here, and it's involved a lotta baseball, and crafting, and dinner dates, and crafting, and Italian festival, and crafting, and visitors from out of town, and crafting.

I am so tired or as they like to say in the South,  "I feel like I've been rode hard and hung up to dry!!" Not to go off on too much of a tangent but I LOVE ME some Southern sayings.

Let me clarify before ya'll start to thinkin I've done gone and lost it; I love southern sayings not so much the south. And That one up there is truly how I feel. 

Here's another one that works well for my post about being busy and tired; "I was busier than a cat burying shit on a marble floor!!" Bah ha ha, isn't that one so funny?

Ok Moving on... This past weekend was the first craft show of the season that I was signed up for and I'm already feeling whelmed, and pooped, and every other word in the english language and Southern language, that means, flat out TIRED. " I been busier than a Cat on a Hot tin roof!!" I'm thinking that a cat on a hot tin roof would be pretty busy not so much from the hot, but more from the tin. I'll tell you what keeps me busy like that Cat with some tin, LAUNDRY!! It never ends PEOPLE!!  In between all the other kinds of busy there is always the laundry and dishes kind of busy. Again just to be sure you are getting the idea, I'm tired, and I'm busy.  Earth shattering news, I know !

Well, all that being said,  even though I'm tired I have to say it's a good kind of tired, as opposed to a bad tired which would be like from being sick or hurting yourself.  I'm having fun crafting and making some extra Christmas money. And of course looking up funny southern sayings. What have you been up to ?  Or how they would say it in the South; "How ya'll doin?"
