very few things make me....

more angry than a cup which leaks. It put me over the edge this morning. I got this cup for Christmas, because Bobby didn't think it appropriate that I was taking my coffee in the car in his beer pint glasses. The little pink travel cup is cute...nice shade of pink, but it is faulty. I tried to look past it...I even used it without the lid, which Bobby stated defeated the purpose, so he got out his little tool set and tried to fix the "button". It appeared to be fixed.
This morning, driving down the highway, I tip the cup back, get a nice swig of hot coffee and then it just pours out from the seam, between the lid and the cup. Thanks to me I was wearing black and had my jacket buttoned, but man I was pissed. The worst part was I didn't believe it was the cup. I thought it was my faulty lip, so I did it again. piece of shit cup.

Shut UP!!!

I hope your Xmas went well.....

we could NOT afford that Barbie Dream Townhouse that Olive was screeching about for the past 2 months but look at what we found!!!!

A gigantor Lundby Spiel Hause....I am in love....

Bobby was laughing so hard at me while we were setting it up. I was drooling thinking of the decor I could put in this thing... A coat of contact paper, little rugs, and a day on Ebay searching for Vintage 1970's teeny tiny Swedish modern decor....yummy....

But first I'll let Olives stupid ol Barbies live in it...but the day she forget to admire it ...it is SOOO mine.

Not a lick of Photoshop

she is so cute....too bad she is such a little Pixie

(click the picture to see in full size beauty the little tiny freckles aka Angel Kisses)

Well, if you still arent done with your shopping there are a few easy things you can find on Craft sites. Seriously...some of these you can actually get done in a few hours

Instructables

We made these last night

Oreo Truffles *****Easy

they took about 1.5 hours minus the time they spent in the fridge while I drank wine.

Cover Some Buttons with CraftPudding *****Easy

takes about 30 minutes, fun and everyone, for some reason loves coverd buttons

Remember these?
Synda and I made Bottlecap Magnets last year

fairly easy, and really fun but you need:
epoxy stuff, magnets, bottle caps or a few 12 packs of beer and drink fast, and 1" paper hole punch to cut out perfect circle for the inside...if you are a scrapbooker these would be really easy.
Just take a trip to Hobby Lobby

well...you can always bake...

or if you knit...
here are some easy leftover yarn knittables

thanks: Another Knitting Blog
I think these (above) in half the size would be perfect and quick!!!

but mostly, remember it's not about Money spent...it's the thought ( tell this to my kids)
Sometimes when you think of giving something homemade you feel weird, but secretly...every one loves it, even those weird slippers Gramma makes every year

Slouchy Beret

I thought this picture was funny. I must perfect my self picture taking skills.

I got home from work early today and because Eddie didn't crap on the floor and I didn't have to spend 2 hours steaming cleaning smelly dog poop off the carpet...I finished my beret. It's one of those hip ones like super star Lindsey Lohan wears....see...

mine is way more awesome and the expression on myself almost resembles the drunken glare we see from her...although the picture above looks actually quite nice.

Here are 2 more examples of fashion style and the slouchy beret...

The Alien Woman and that guy who looks good with his clothes off (hat is just a waste of time to me in this picture.)

Anyways...being out of school and getting stuff done is really cool. I have more but I can't post them til after Xmas
