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

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.

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 [...]
