This handwashing notice.....my favorite line is "after any other probable contamination."














This one speaks for itself. This was found at the Pearl Bass Pro Shop.


















This is again, probably a good thing, but I thought the title was funny. It seems to me, to be a glorified package for a shredder. That's really all you need, folks, is a shredder.

The Birds Barbie


I'm sure most of you have probably seen this or something similar at Wal-Mart. I didn't really start patronizing the toy section again at this beloved store until I had soon-to-be stepdaughters. I found this humorous! I had no idea they had started a line of nostalgic and celebrity Barbie-types. It's kinda cool, but I thought this was HILARIOUS when I first saw it, hence me taking a picture of it. For the avid collector, this is really cool. To me, well, it's a marketing ploy.

By the way, this was one of the scariest Alfred Hitchcock movies I had ever seen. And I was way too young when I saw it. LOL

Stuff I Find Humorous

I think I'm going to start a section on this blog of our family called "Stuff I Find Humorous." This would be the first entry:




Don't get me wrong....I'm glad there is such a thing. But if you go to church and your local church can't help you with this....blah blah blah. I know there are a lot of Jesus followers who don't go to church, but even Jesus taught how to do this in the Bible. I just thought it was kinda funny. Read your Bible, folks. There's a plethora of good stuff in there.

Making Life Simpler

I'm on a mission....that DOES seem to be impossible! I have a feeling I could really do some "good" damage for my side business if I simplify my life. I have to do some summer cleaning, there was no time in spring for spring cleaning (LOL)! I don't have time for these fun crafts and things and I hate how they are junking up the house when I need all the room I can get. So, I must say farewell to all or most of the paintbrushes, canvases and drawing paper in my life. I must say goodbye to all the beautiful fabric somehow, someway. If I can't find a use for these things soon, they will have to go the way of the local Rescue Mission and out of my life forever. I just have a real deep yearning to clean out the clutter!
I don't have time to be a crafty, artistic person anymore. It's a part of who I am, but why keep 10-year-old drawing paper if I haven't drawn on it? Why keep fabric for that someday project when it's been sitting here for months? I'm tired of it!
If I want to really dedicate myself to my side business, I need to make room for my side business. I am currently looking for third party companies to vendor out my tshirts, until I can do them myself. I am making room for future equipment. I have a vendor currently and I believe they will still end up being the best price I can get. But I am open for options. Until I get all this clutter out, or at least made a big dent in it, I am not going to be super-duper-advertising myself. My house currently is not fit for customers to come in.
We shall see. I am still waiting on God for the right time to move officially. I feel it's coming soon, but not too soon. I love how God knows my best interest, even when I don't!
BUT....I do plan on getting a booth in the fall flea market here in Vicksburg. I also plan on sending out invitations and evites to my booth! Just an idea, a thought.....

The Band

Everybody playing! But the girls weren't plugged in! Shhh! Don't tell
them!

Surprise Gardens

Here are just a couple of shots of suprise flowers from our yard from early spring. We had no idea what to expect once the winter thawed from our yard. More surprises to come, as we have not been a full summer in our house yet! Can't wait to see what else the yard will bring!

The Exercise Angel

Angel likes to occasionally exercise with me.....

The Not-So-Wee Angel Pup

Ah, the not-so-wee pup is a nice medium-sized dog now, complete with
medium-sized NON-STOP YAPPING! We love our Angel anyway!

The Wee Pup

She doesn't look like much of a pup now! Here she is before we built
her little yard for her, tied up by the leash, snuggled in leaves to
keep warm during the day while we were at work.
