Dress Up

Just a little something [and I do mean a little!] that I've been playing around with. Some of the sizes may be a little off but hopefully you all can manipulate them to fit to your liking. I was going to do jewelry and the like for them but I'm not sure if I like 'em that much to spend more time on them. I may try doing it again but with different items. I just needed to do something a little different. I really liked doing the "odd" requests. Like the Red Hat Society and the others like that ... something different. Some of the requests I have gotten are quite different [and difficult] and I am trying to work on gathering stuff for them. So if anyone has something out of the ordinary please let me know! But I figured what they hay! If Potato Head was a hit let's try this. So if you are at all interested you can DOWNLOAD HERE if you want the Dress Up items. Oh, and the little one has something called Intra Virus, or something like that. Doc says it’s basically due to the “season.” I tell ya, for a breast feed baby she sure gets sick a lot. I thought that was supposed to be one of the pros about breast feeding. Mmmmm. I was going to say I may think twice about breast feeding next time … STOP! I’m almost 43! What am I thinking!!! Next time? Whoaaaaa! Pull the reins on that darn horse! Well, hope you are all in good health! Peace out!

Money Money Money

Don't you wish you had just a tad bit more of it! It's a shame that everything is so expensive these days. For example...remember when Legos were $19.99 for 500 pieces? Now it costs you $75 for 50 pieces. And you have to build what THEY want you to! Or better yet! When scrapbooking was a "fad" and was inexpensive? Now it could cost you well over $100 to do a few pages using material items. I mean, come on now! Oh oh oh!!! Remember when you had 13 channels on your television and it cost you nothing to watch it - maybe some rabbit ears and a little aluminum foil if the ears were acting up. Ok, NOW I'm REALLY dating myself! Mmmm, I wonder if anyone actually asks someone if they "can spare a dime" anymore. Most likely NOT. It would be more like ... hey buddy, can you spare $5 - and that wouldn't even buy you a damn cup of coffee anymore! Sorry for not posting earlier. I think I've gotten into a lazy mode lately. But here are some US coins that I thought you may [or may not] be able to use. I think it's neat that each state has their own coin. Actually when they first did it I thought it was pretty ridiculous ... but now, hey, it's kinda neat. And it may help the kids learn how many states and what their names are in the USofA. So, if you are interested, you can Download Here. Peace out! And save those coins!!! You never know when they will come in handy!

Treat from Andrea!!!

Ok, I'll try this again. We have been getting hammered with snow and have gotten well over a foot so far. So before my satellite up and gets to much snow on it and I lose internet connection again. We have a treat from Andrea! Remember Andrea? She made up the Strawberry Shortcake kit several postings ago. Well, she made these cute Micky Mouse buttons to go with all the Disney stuff that has been done. Adorable aren't they?!? I think I will be doing something Toy Storyish and Spyish [if you have any idea on some kids spy/international spy things, please let me know!]. Ok let's get this posted before I lose it again! You can Download MM Buttons here and, if interested, the Dinosaurs Here. Ok, hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!!! Oh, by the way, I have been having email issues so if I have not answered you I apologize.

Our Heroes - Part 2

Here is a story you guys may find enjoyable. I say this because I would laugh if someone told me that this happened to them. I didn't much think it was funny last night though....Ok, the little girl got up around 10:00pm last night in a really funky mood, cranky and had a mean looking rash [1st "diaper" rash she ever had]. So I took her out of her crib and brought her into my bedroom. The hubby, little girl and myself were laying on the bed when I heard this really odd noise...yeah, you most likely know what noise I am referring to ... the one you hear right before they throw up all over you. Well, I was laying on my tummy, she was standing over me and ... BLAHHHH!!! She ended up throwing up alllll over my head, shoulders and back! I tell you, kids are lucky we love them unconditionally. Because if my husband ever did that I think I would go out and actually buy a rolling pin just to bonk him on the head. So, the little one and myself did a little jaunt to the bathroom, took a shower together and put new pjs on while Daddy changed the sheets, pillow cases, etc. You notice that the daddy didn't get puked on [why is that?!?!?]. After that I put her back to bed and she finally fell asleep. Ok, just for you "new" parents out there, or even for the ones that have little girls and never used this product...we found that the Crayola bathtub fizzies caused her to get the "rash" in her nether regions which caused her a great deal of pain. She LOVES the Crayola bathtub crayons though...and they don't bother her at all. She hates the Crayola bathtub paints. I think it's because it feels and looks like soft gel - and you can't really paint with them at all. Anyways! Here is another posting for Our Heroes with some Red Cross, Marines, and such. If interested, you can download them HERE.

To My Heroes

Funny, I was making up some military items in support of the men and woman that are doing what I don't think I would ever have the courage to do when someone requested some Air Force items. For the next couple of days I will be posting some "military" items. These will also consist of Fire Fighters, Police and other departments. I am hoping that I won't miss anyone so if you think that I might - PLEASE let me know!!! Ok, I am going to Chucky Cheese with the little girl today with a friend and her little boy so I gotta make this quick. Taking half the day off from work so I have to wrap things up here. Hopefully the first batch of items will be useful to you. There are 95 [or 96] items in the download. Unfortunately they aren't in any real order - Army mixed in with National Guard with a little Coast Guard mixed in with a little Air Force, etc. etc. Oh, and I will be posting a few "fun" things in between the military items. I hope everyone enjoys their day today. So, if you are interested you can Download Part 1 of ?.

Part 2 and a Little Venting

I have a question for you or maybe it's just a thought or perhaps just an observation or perhaps even just a little venting. Let me ask you all this: Would you consider it legal to take a picture of something that is located in a public area - where you could have no possible reasonable expectation of privacy - say a park, a sports arena or any other venue such as these? Would it be legal to use this photograph as you deem fit? The answer to these questions would be an emphatic YES! It is legal. If you are in an area such as these then you could not possibly have any reasonable expectation of any type of privacy. You must consider yourself in the public view and either behave accordingly [no streaking please!] or hide what you do not want to be seen [sorry, those toupees don't hide a thing!] Now, on the other hand, for example, if you are in a closed room [you know the kind...four walls, a ceiling and floor - perhaps even padded a little!] then you can have some reasonable expectation of privacy. My point being this. If it is in the public view ... then it is not private nor should it be considered so. But! If someone has to go over and beyond what is considered "normal" ... say ... scaling a fence, doing a little B&E or bribe someone in order to get something then I would say that you are doing something a tad bit illegal. So, if it is easily gained then it cannot possibly be private. I realize some of you are like...what?...what is she going on about? Suffice it to say, someone out there apparently wants to be a lawyer and thinks they know copyright laws. But before they speak please - oh please - GO TO LAW SCHOOL!!! Or at least, have the courtesy to email me with your name so we can have a discussion about what is legal and what is not. I tell ya, sometimes I just want to smack someone upside the head ... but Anon won't let me know who they are!!! Ok, this being said - Enjoy! PART 2 of 2.

Going to my Happy Place on Earth

I wish I was anyways. Not sure if this is the "happy place on earth" that was requested. But these are some things that I created for my trip a while ago that I made up from the pamplets that Disney sent me, as well as, pictures and old ticket stubs and such. I actually fancy the older look of things - you know, that antique look. There is something so calming in the color and weathered look...oh, sorry....going off on something totally different! Oh, and Pat from Houston I must ask dear girl! What, pray tell, were some of the things you came up with for MFTP! Mmmmm???? I don't know what I'm going to do next as no one has requested anything - and if you have and I haven't done it it means that I forgot what was requested. I swear, my memory has gone caput since I had my daugher. I'm lucky to know her name for Pete's sake! Although I do call her Josh every once in a while [that would be my sons name]. Pretty bad, I know. Trying to figure out how to get the brain cells back into gear. Happy Place #1

Nascar Papers

Ok, the last of the Nascar postings. These are the papers that I made up. Hopefully the people that requested them will like them. Like I said in an earlier post ... I know NOTHING about Nascar and racing cars. So hopefully they will be what you are looking for. If not, let me know what I did wrong or what I could have done better or what you were really looking for. You can Download Papers here. I was going to do some Micky Mouse Club stuff next but it appears that the copyright police are out to get me again. Wait a sec! What am I doing! I have a layout that I want to do for myself so why should I not do them? Right? Phfftttt [that would be me sticking out my tongue and giving a raspberry!]. Ok, peace out and enjoy.

Nascar Cars

Ok, here are the cars that go with the previous "Nascar" embellishment posting. If you are interested, you can Download Cars by clicking on the link. For whatever reason I can't upload 2 pictures at a time - blogger is having a slight issue with it. So I will be posting the papers in a few moments. Sorry about this but it can't be helped.

A Little Nascar

Hi all! Hope all is going good. Sorry, but I have been spending a lot of time with the hubby and the little girl the last couple of days. Dear ole hubby said that if I didn't get my nose out of the computer he would put a sledgehammer to it. Uhm, I'm hoping he meant the computer and not the nose! The look in his eyes told me that he wasn't kidding. I felt a tad bit warm and fuzzy when he threatened me. Just goes to show me that after all this time he still cares! Anyways and anywho ... As I said I would earlier, I just finished some Nascar racing items. I broke the items into 3 separate groups because I didn't want the downloads to be to large for the people that still may have dial up. Hey, don't laugh! I live in the boondocks and just got rid of dial up and got satellite a few months ago. I know there are still others out there that cringe when they see a huge download. For the first installment, if you are at all interested, you can Download Embells here. I will start uploading the papers and cars shortly. Ok, peace out for now.
