The Beginnings of Something VERY VERY Interesting!


Okay---So I cleaned my workroom the other day---AND much to my surprise--ah-hum--there were things in there that I never even remember buying--let alone stashing away----anyways----I came across this clay---Laguna Clay---air dry stuff---and thought I would give it a try----here is what I came up with----and yes---yes Martha---it was fun!

He is Jack Frost and he is sitting in my favorite coffee mug so he's can dry---which I am hoping happens BEFORE the actual season is over with---betcha I should have read the directions FIRST---NAHHHHH! Oh---PS---If you have ever worked with this clay---I sure would appreciate hearing from you to let me know how it goes----I have NO clue---they say, almost clueless ---WHATEVER!!!

Howdayyyyy!


I did my listing of 4 items last night on Ebay---it is just about all I can do to keep from crying---we are definately in the wind down phase of this season---still--I am coming into winter kickin and screamin!


The recent turn of events regarding our economy isn't helping much either---people are so sad---and they are mad---and somewhat bewildered---but don't worry---things will get better---I am getting my ice skates sharpened today---for when hell freezes over!!!!---ewwww---kinda bad attitude for a Monday----sometime today I AM going to smile and then and only then will I be able to do the hokey pokey and turn my sweet self around----This is actually kinda Joe's fault today---he should know better than to wake me up WAY too early----I might be a bit crabby----THEN I turned on the news and who's face do I see after I wiped my eyes--first thing this mornin-----George W at 6am------'xplainin the whole dang mess----ya---I think I am pissed!

WINNERS---or would that be WEINERS!





I absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt LOVE LOVE LOVE my peeps from my Volleyball teams---they are a fabulous group of gals who keep me smiliing at every turn---we had girls Fall weekend at the cabin ----and once again I am pretty sure that I killed the last two brain cells that I owned---and it was to NO fault of my own---peer pressure I say---totally----yup!

And you thought I was kiddin'---Well MAYBE!

These are my newest arrivals that will be getting listed on Ebay on Sunday at 6:30PDT---These Jack in the Boxes are a very fun display piece. These are both One of a Kinds and I only have these two in this size. The dolls are a brainchild of me---I got so tired of looking at them two starring at me EVERYTIME I would go into the spare bedroom downstairs---they were driving me NUTS---they actually were gone for a time at my little sister Rachels house and they JUST made another trip back to me a month ago----sooooo here they are all fixed up and lookin for a new home!
Dis be another 'Jack in the Box'!

This is a really really old doll --as you can see by her face--I reconditioned her to look like a witch--and she is heavy so I think she may have sawdust for filler or some dang thing---who knows--maybe I should open her up and see if there is money inside of her! Her name is 'Trixi'

She's a Vintage Composite Doll that I re-did to look like a witch---I LOVE the way she looks--She has a GORGEOUS face----her name is 'Jezzabelle' and she is pretty much the way she used to be except for her hair and clothes---her undergarments, legs and arms and head and body are the original pieces and are in wonderful shape!
Please check out WSOAPP.com for a bunch of super cool and festive Fall stuff

PS. I am going to be gone for the weekend---yippitty dang skippy---to the cabin I go with the girls from ball---I will be returning on Sunday---unless of course I win the powerball---then there's no tellin' WHAT will become of meeeeeee!
