My alert friend, Deanna, recently bought a new television antenna. (I keep telling her that she just needs to break down and get satellite so she can watch Corner Gas, but she never listens to me. However, if she had gotten a satellite, we wouldn’t have found this little gem – so it’s a mixed [...]

Honey, I think this antenna gave me heartburn.

Nothin’ says lovin’ like … tub crayons??
Posted in Funny, Funny Posts, tagged Humor, Random, stupid stuff from Wal-Mart, tub crayons on April 23, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I stopped by a church garage sale on my way home from work today and picked these up for Shelby Shelb because I figured she’d like soap crayons. Plus, she can eat the bath oil balls.
Each set was only a quarter and they were brand new. Supposedly, they are aromatherapy-esque. (They originally came from Wal-Mart [...]
How to Entertain a Little Kid.

I’m always looking for ways to entertain and stimulate Shelby Shelb. I can’t remember where I found this idea, but I’m going to share it anyway. It’s a super cheap craft for your toddler. Although I should clarify that this is a craft you should make for your toddler, not with your toddler.
Seriously. You can’t [...]
A Last Supper Post for Shelley.
Posted in Funny, Funny Posts on April 10, 2009 | 2 Comments »
My friend Shelley used to be obsessed with the Last Supper. To the point that, if she walked into your home and didn’t see one, she would tell you that you needed to get one.
Well, my mother got this Last Supper figurine for Christmas and I have been meaning to post it but haven’t gotten [...]

It’s time for another Craptabulous Tuesday! This week I bring you … EASTER EGGS!!!! What’s that you say? It’s impossible to screw up Easter eggs? Alas. It’s not. Not even close to being impossible.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock far far away from all crafters and bloggers, then you have seen these silk tie [...]
Easter Bunny Embroidered Pillow

I have been in the mood to embroider lately for some reason. I don’t do it often – mostly because transferring the patterns is a bit of a pain and I’m a bit lazy. Anyway, I found a darling bunny pattern over at Orange Flower Patterns ( http://orangeflowerpatterns.blogspot.com/ ).
Here’s my version.
I was just going to use [...]
Why, Easter Bunny, What Nice Eyes You Have!
Posted in Food, Funny, Funny Posts, tagged Humor, Random, scary Easter candy on April 3, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Occasionally I worry that I will run out of things to blog about. Then I do something like visit Dollar General and all my fears are laid to rest. That’s where I found this hollow chocolate Easter bunny … Hollow … as if to symbolize the fact that he doesn’t appear to have a soul [...]
Vintage Thingies Thursday – My Artwork
Posted in Craft Projects, Vintage Stuff, tagged artwork, vintage thingies on April 2, 2009 | 14 Comments »
Throughout my school years, my dad saved all my drawings, report cards, and awards (which was a lot because I’m an overachiever – lol). He also saved the cards that I made him. This past Christmas he put several of those things into a scrapbook for me. Wasn’t that sweet?
Well, sadly, I realized that my [...]

Isn’t this the cutest Easter bunny basket you ever saw?
Look, he even has a fuzzy little tail!
A lady at our church made this for Shelby Shelb. The basket skeleton is made from an upcycled Clorox Bleach bottle and then she crocheted around it. She even filled all the eggs with beaded jewelry! (Shelby loves bracelets [...]
