My bedroom is complete....

Here it is, done at last. The boxes on the wall serve as stairs for Elmo to go up and down from the bed. I was getting sick of taking him down and bringing him up. He would wake me up at 4am wanting down, and then scream at 4:30 to get back up! There is alot going on in here, but I have space for everything.






Earrings to match....

I made these for the wedding --- wow.. i'm sleepy...

Self Portrait Tuesday

Because my little sister is getting married this Saturday, I decided to post a picture of her and I. This is us on vacation in Ohio. We went out for a drive and decided to take some pictures of the beautiful countryside. There is something about a cornfield or wheat field that I love. Living in the city makes me miss seeing old red barns and cows and rows of corn! :)

I have the BEST vintage swap partner EVER!

I got my vintage package this weekend from Katey at One Good Bumblebee and I have to say that I have never been more spoiled in my life! THANK YOU SO MUCH KATEY! The bag is adorable and I love the vintage fabric you used! The necklace is gorgeous - and will get TONS of use. Everything else was wonderful too, I love it all. Thank you so much, you did way too much - I'm very lucky!

Hooray for the Renegade Craft Fair!

What a weekend... it rained the whole weekend and the craft fair was nothing but mud! Despite the mud, a lot of people showed up. Here is some of the stuff I got before I ran out of money! I can't post it all because I got an early start on Christmas presents! :)

Brings me back...

I was browsing ebay the other day and just had to buy these. I was a huge collector of these 80's clip charms. Do you ever wonder where all of your old toys go?


Attack of the robots

I finally got my blik graphics in and put them up in my kitchen. I was seriously standing there laughing.


Trivia Day...

Ok here goes...

Name this show...

Self Portrait Tuesday



This butterfly would not leave me alone. At 1st I thought it was because of my clove cigarette, but it kept coming back and landing on me. It made my day.

Shizaa!

My cd's for dual disk will go out today. I had a spur of the moment trip to Michigan to help with my sister's wedding stuff. So needless to say, I'm finishing them up today. I swear they will go out this afternoon.

On another note, a pitch fork went through the bottom of my big toe this weekend while helping my dad burn brush. No stitches, and good thing I had my tetanus shot less than 10 years ago. Man I am so prone to accidents!!

Campin' at Illini!

Chrissy and I decided to go camping at the last minute. We went an hour and a half west of Chicago to a little town called Marseilles, IL at Illini State Park. It was a lot of fun and very interesting!



This was the weirdest cafe i've ever been in.. there was actually a smelly coffee bar with a bunch of older people chatting... strange, wish I had a photo of the inside.






Here sat our stalker. This guy followed us around the camp grounds, he asked if he could sleep on our site, kinda creepy! I wish he was sitting here at the time so you could see him. He said he was broke and homeless, but I do spot a seat and guitar!






Ok, this was so weird... it was a HUGE bardge thingy that carried a cancer causing chemical. It took up the entire Illinois River. It was so long I thought it was an aircraft carrier... ok so maybe i'm stretching it, but still -- i've never seen anything like it. I had to also post a picture of the worker checking the "cancer chemicals"...
