100 Things (Maybe More)

Guess Who

Just me. I'm back. I have internet again. Have to get the hang of it all over again.

July 23, 2011

I just finished watching "Rebel Without a Cause" and I'm a little misty. I don't know how many times I've seen it, and I know what's coming, but it always wears me out. I'm on a movie watching binge right now, so I think I'll move next to anything Hitchcock. Well, except for "The Birds". Maybe "Stranger on a Train", "Rear Window", or "North by Northwest". Might as well, while I'm all tensed up anyway, right?

Of course, during "Rebel", I kept thinking of the song "Rock On", so I had to download it.

"And where do we go from here
Which is the way that's clear
Still looking for that blue jean baby queen
Prettiest girl I ever seen
See her shake on the movie screen Jimmie Dean (James Dean)

Rock On!"

I downloaded the David Essex version, which I think is the original from the 1970's. I would never have got it out of my head so best I just go ahead and get it over with.

And while I was on iTunes anyway, I went ahead and downloaded "Morning Train (Nine to Five)" by Sheena Easton, because something my cuz said last night reminded me that I had loaned this album (yeah, I'm that old), to someone way back when and they never returned it, and I'm still kind of mad about it. Get over it self, it was only a silly album. Yes, but it was one of my favs, and it wasn't just the one album, there was another album, and two very cute Wilton cake pans plus four or five Wilton yearbooks loaned at the same time, and the person moved and never even tried to return them. Ok, I'm better now.

PS: I am reliving this day from about three years ago, so if a handful of you think you have seen this post, you may have, because it is from my secret blog. It's so secret I barely go there anymore.
PPS, or is it PSS: You can get the FREE digital contents of the Tattoo Rock Kit, copyright Kopperhead and Dragonfly Digitals, that's me, by looking somewhere in the right side column.

James Dean has left the TV set; James Stewart appearing, devoid of that annoying color I love so much.

Almost a Month!!!!

What a terrible blogger I am. I should be made to do community service blog work. Feel free to post about how terrible a blogger I am. I do have reasons, but I'm not going to tell you what they are. Someday, but today is not that day. When I do get back to being a better blogger, then you will want me to pipe down a bit. I would show you a picture but I haven't taken them off my camera, so I better do some community service photography work also. I've not crafted any items either. I don't have time for all the work I should be doing!!

But I do love y'all dearly and will be back to annoy and say stupid things soon. Don't we all hope!

Waiting, and more Waiting, and yet more Waiting

What do you do in the waiting room at the hospital for four hours when you have exhausted the magazines and all you can find is one dull pencil and a 5x7 sheet of graph paper. They're lucky I didn't write on the walls!

I'll Be Back.....With Instructions

...on how to make Your Self a Your Story album without buying the Your Story stuff. If you are patient and like to recycle EVERYTHING, you can do it for FREE!

I have to wash the car and go to the doctor, but I'll be back later when I find the instructions that I have already compiled, with photos. Or I will just have to make new ones. We'll see.

Meanwhile, here is a card design you can have. I usually do not pre-design cards, I just make them up as I go along, but I wanted to use some new Spellbinder Label dies, and I put the word MOM in the oval for Mother's Day, and the bird I used is different. But, you get the idea. Feel free! Right click and save yourself a copy.

PS: It's tomorrow and I haven't put the instructions yet. I should know better. Will be a little later.

Stuff happened.

It's tomorrow again, and again, I just can't get to this, so much stuff going on. I must do this and that, with deadlines. Do I have a deadline here? I do, I'll do it. Tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day.

Karel’s “Make Up Your Own Holiday Blog Hop” March 26-27

Hi! Karel has come up with another wonderful Blog Hop. This is my first time as a Hoppee.
You should have arrived here from Krista Orr at Scrapaleupagus at http://www.scrapaleupagus.blogspot.com/
If you just stumbled across the hop, and you’d like to start at the beginning, hop over to Karelj’s blog at www.kareljcreations.com to start at the beginning. After my stop, you should head over to Jane Hollon at Sneezy’s Ramblings at http://sneezy1956.blogspot.com/ to see what she has in store for you!”
My Holiday is:

“Take a Trip Through the Fairy Door (If Only In Your Imagination)”

(You can click on any image for a larger version)

I picked up this cute wooden fairy door on a clearance table at one of the craft stores. I covered the bricks with scraps of paper, colored everything else with Bic Mark Its, added the embellishments, and of course the Fairy. She is a digi-stamp from Dardi at www.dtsart.com. I colored her with Prismas and Stickled her wings and cut her out so she could admire her Fairy Door. I think everyone should have a Fairy Door in their house. How else are the Fairies going to come and go?

There is some blog candy which I forgot to photograph but I will and revise this post with the photo.RIGHT NOW!! It is a little treasure chest full of tidbits so you can make your own Fairy Land. Please become a follower of this blog and leave a comment and a way to get in touch with you (USA only) and on Monday I will pick the winner after Karel shows me how to use her friend Randy!

Included in this Blog Candy Treasure Chest is enough stuff to build a Fairy Land of your own. There is a butterfly wind chime (It's hanging on the arrangement sticks thingy, which is not included, LOL) Plus two Studio stamp sets, a green chalk, pink, blue and green glitter tubes, a foam butterfly and a die cut butterfly, some punched butterflies, some punched layered flowers, buttons, pink beads, green beads, white pearls, magenta glitter, three acrylic messages, one with a vellum envie, square note, string of pearls, pink lace, crochet lace, white and green ric rac, buttons, jewel leaf buttons, a turtle and two little straight pin bouquets of heart pins and leaf pins. So be careful opening if you win this. And, by tomorrow there may be a surprise to go along with it! did I mention the turtle? He's coming along too.

Thank you for visiting, keep hopping!

Karelj is offering an over-all blog candy for those who are hopping along with us. She thought it would be fun to have some holiday-themed candy for this hop--but, of course, made-up holiday items were hard to come by! She decided to do a whole bunch of *regular* holiday themed stamps for you to enjoy. From Fiskars, there is an assorted holiday set; there's an alphabet from All Night Media, a set of 100 plus clear stamps and a storage case from Family Memories, and 5 sets of clear stamps from various dollar bins in big box stores. How to win them? Follow along the blog trail, leaving a comment on each and every blog. On Monday, Karelj will ask her buddy Randy (random.org) to select a blog number (from the list), a day (Saturday is one, Sunday is two), and a comment number from that blog. Please make sure you have left a reliable way to contact you (email is best, in the safe format of **** at **** dot com ) so you can be notified by her personally. If you don't, she’ll have to select another winner.
