Today’s Tacky Tuesday is straight from Deliverance a thrift store in the Ozarks.  My mother bought it a couple weeks ago to salvage the buttons.  Words elude me.

But my mother also insists that I comment on the excellent workmanship.  And it is good.  Someone obviously put a lot of work into this.  It’s kind of [...]

My alert friend Deanna (you’ll remember her from the now infamous “don’t eat tv antennas while pregnant” warning labels) sent me this picture.  It’s a storage facility that she and her family saw on a recent trip to Arkansas.
I think it is the best name for a storage facility ever!  And I was the one [...]

For real.  You should not let your toddler drive.  Especially, according to this packaging, if he or she is under the influence of cold/allergy medicine.
Here is the picture to prove that these warnings are, indeed, on a children’s medicine box.

I have no idea what those smudges are.  I couldn’t get rid of them while I [...]

I’m sure every mother has had to do the sprint of shame.  You know the one – you are chasing after your child through the store hollering “Stop!  Stop this instant!  1-2-3!” and your child is ignoring you while you get haughty glares from people with perfect children (or no children or no sense of [...]

I hope Our Lady of Guadalupe doesn’t get mad [...]

Silhouette.

Aren’t you impressed that I can spell “silhouette”?  Admit it, you are.
I made this one the other night.  I had a picture of Shelby in silhouette.  I cut around her and then traced it onto white paper.  Then I enlarged it 300% and attached it to the black paper and cut around it and attached [...]

You might not know this about me, but my motto has always been, “Never miss a good testicle convention.”  And it looks like I missed this one.  What a disappointing day.

KMM (that’s “Karen, Mary’s Mom” for those of you not in the know) said that she had a ball.  But she’s kind of a nut.
Okay, [...]

Happy Thursday slash Wednesday, Everyone!  It’s time for Vintage Thingies Thursdays hosted by Colorado Lady at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com .  (Nope.  Still haven’t figured out the hotlink thing yet.)
Today I would like to share the spoon and fork that I picked up this winter at a thrift store.  I paid a dollar for the set.  I like [...]

Here is another of my craptabulous creations.  In case you can’t tell, I was trying to make an altered Scrabble tile in order to make a pendant of it.  Please do not expect this to be funny.  There is nothing funny about failed decoupage and Diamond Glaze.  Nothing at all.
My first attempt involved a picture [...]
