Purdy Poppies

Evenin' folks!  Just wanted to show off a few pics of a new painting for class!  

The original is called Red Poppies...a cute little painting.  I think I'll give mine to my mom...her kitchen colors are red, black, and white.

Fabric Score!

So, I have a confession to make.

I mean, I'm a total addict.  I just cannot help myself!

But they say admitting you have a problem is the first step.  Here goes...

I am addicted to the scrap bin at Hobby Lobby!

There.  I said it!

I cannot go to Hobby Lobby without sifting thru the scrap bin and snagging a few bundles for $2-3!?  

You can't beat that...

Look what I scored for under $10.

I'm lov'n the cow print!  I think I;m gonna use that and the black/white flourish print to make some black/white boutique baby gifts...?!

Look for those soon!

2 jobs+2 kids+1 husband = freak'n tired

So yeah...I'm pooped.  

I've been trying to recharge on the weekends, but that's when it all really hits the fan!

Let's see...the starter went out in the van and the outdoor a/c unit went out.  Crap.

So I'm trying to unwind on the puter...is that possible?

Tonight, I've been commenting on all the Mad Skills linker-uppers...great stuff folks!  

And while I've been doing that...I've been surfing Playlist.com and doing another playlist of mu-sak!

I invite you to listen!  Check out the link below:
