Just me rambling...

Life is finally settling back down after crazy work stuff, Halloween and putting the house back together. I got to spend Halloween with some awesome peeps. We went and saw Mark play then went on a graveyard tour. It was really cool! I'm so glad that I felt better and could go. Other than that-I've just been concentrating on making lots of stuff and gearing up for the holidays. I LOVE Christmas as much as I love Halloween so even though I know I have two months, I still get excited.

Things I am loving right now:
Mark
my puppers
My friends-Kelsey and Hillary have been keeping me sane. You guys are amazing!
Busby Berkley movies
Christmas crafting

This is why I can't have nice things.

We were decorating for the Halloween party and Lola and Juju decided that this piece was just not fit to put out! What little monsters. I want to get them a remote control. I bet it would last about 10 minutes. I love the way Juju looks up at me as if to say, "Don't worry mom, we got it under control!" I love my babies.

A special super shout out of thanks first to sewits4you for hooking me up with kittycrossbones from etsy. Both people are amazing. Kittycrossbones helped me with my business cards, buttons, matchbook notes and bookmarks. She is FAB! I love her so much. Thank you! Thank you!

Here are the buttons.




And part of the matchbook



I am so happy! They are so cute!

I want whimsies!

Well who doesn't....
Thank you cake wrecks! Now on to the real post


I am currently the organizer of the Whimsies swap on Craftster. I got both of my packages this weekend (that's what she said). Here are a few pictures. Thank you so much sugarysweet and crafty_dame! You guys rock my world!

October is....

For those of you who don't know-October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As many of you know, I work for a crisis line. Last month we took almost 2,400 calls. This is a scary number to me. All of the shelters in my area are full and have been for well over 9 months. I'm sure that my area is not just the only one that is getting swamped by calls and shelters being full. It's a disgusting trend that must stop. Domestic Violence affects us all. If you are in an abusive relationship or know someone who is, there are people out there that can help you break the cycle. Want to get involved? Check out and see what your local shelters and crisis line need. Demand from your lawmakers better and safer laws. We must make a commitment as a community, as human beings to stop violence.

Which leads me into another thing October is. It is Breast Cancer Awareness month. There are so many companies and organizations out there that are helping and yet there still is no cure. Please take time to get a breast exam. I know our partners/loved ones are more than willing to help out with this one! Again, demand from your lawmakers for better and free testing, for more research.

And finally-October 15th is Love Your Body day. We are so bombarded by the media telling us how we should look, what it is to be a "woman". News flash! We are not all size 8's and 6 feet tall! We are short, skinny, fat, tall, athletic. We come in all sizes, shapes, colors and yes! PERSONALITIES! One size does not fit all! Love your body!

My Etsy shop

Finally! My Etsy shop is up. I am still working on how it looks and the content but it is up and running. YEAH! I have a few more items to put up and make it all nice a pretty. You can look to the side and see a few things I have for sale. It makes me very happy.
I want to shout a big thanks to OMP. He is the most awesome man alive! Thank you SO much for helping me. You are a rock star! I also want to give a shout out to Jean and all of my friends that kicked my butt into gear and are helping me with making the shop all pretty. I loves ya!

Hey moms! Want a calendar for you AND the kids!

So, this link and the info about this calendar comes courtesy of my friend HSG. Oh Helen! Why, why, why did you post this. Yep, that's right it's a naked clown calendar. Yes, I'm serious. Now before everyone gets all creeped out and crazy. The calendar is for a good cause. The proceeds go to help fight MS and I think that is amazing and wonderful-don't get me wrong. I think any crazy idea to get your cause out there should be awarded, but clowns...really?
And to make you cringe a little more- one of the questions on the calendar is: Who’s bendy like a gummy bear?. Honestly, I don't think I want to know.

I couldn't see whether or not it was the full monty going on but that might be even scarier.
Enjoy, and hey, if you need a present for grandma and for your niece-grab two calendars.
