I opened my email this morning and found one of my favorite messages, the Link to the "Old Primative Register" newsletter and in it I found some neat primative artist's information and even found three blogs are having give-aways. Of course I went to register for them and found all three to be full of new links to see other new artists' to have a day full of fun looking at them. Oh, I wish I was full of $$ and just half so talented.

I said I would post here and I will,

You will see some awesome items and stories at these sites.

I am also planning on having my first giveaway soon, Well, except for the One World, One Heart I took part in last Valentine's Day. I keep waiting till I have more time to make some things that I love and the problem is so many are still in my head. I have been buying supplies all year and getting more new fresh ideas, so I am going to have to quit using that excuse as I see I am never going to catch up on my other house full of things problems, I just need to make a few trips to my Charity's to let them sell my things themselves. They won't sell on eBay if I can't even get them listed.

My husband is still healing from his back surgery and Emma, our new puppy is still where I have to watch her every moment, (especially when she gets quiet). At least she loves her chewie rawhide bones and Jordan likes them when they get really gooey.
I think his teeth are bad or biting is hard, (he IS 10 years old) whatever, I noticed him eating and not biting into his dogfood. But, he will take it fine from my hand or when watery so I have been adding water and back to the RX canned only as his digestive problems are back! Poor boy, we were car riding the other day and he was acting up, really aggitated, breathing hard, and generally trying for attention. I thought he needed air or water(I keep a water bowl in car all the time). I rolled his window down more and he practically hung his whole head out. We were close to home, so I hurried. Got door open and he ran to grass and thru up and also had diarrah. Poor Baby, he was trying to tell us! I just could not read him and drive too. He loves to car ride so I leave emma in her crate at home and just take him sometimes since he is so devistated to be left home. Well, I just have to UP my watch on him more carefully and try to read more into his trying to get thru to me.

Oh Also, we got some hot dog buns at the Deli in store like homemade bread, awesome!
Bob is making us hot dogs for lunch and they smell so yummy. I do appreciate him cooking and I don't mind cleaning up. And we have catfish and hush puppies on the agenda for tonight.

See you later,

Where have I been and am going to

I finally finished watching Miss Potter, the Beatrix Potter movie of her life. I so love her stories and this will be a movie I have to own when I see it on sale on day somewhere. I have it from the Library now and I had to check it out twice to get it watched.
I got caught up cleaning up my eBay mess I live it at home. I am trying to straighten things up in my home and garage. I was so embarrassed when the charter cable folks came to install something my DH signed up for and they could not work because they could not get to the area they needed to work at. SO, I started on my small work room, (where I had no room to work, to clean it up so they can get to the Linksys materials or at least area it is located Friday and then yesterday Saturday I worked in cleaning the garage. I think I need to make a trip to the Charity spots close to me with a truckload of STUFF! Or, make up combination boxes of Stuff and sell it in eBay as junk, (you do know one person's junk, is another's treasure) and I am usually on the receiving end of this line.)
I also did some eBay store work all behind the scenes, and renewed my etsy item I had let go inactive. SO far Etsy for me has been my handmade and I have had no time to work my arts except in a few Fairy Zine exchanges I was in. I love doing that and I also have a lot for items that are vintage I believe I will put in Etsy instead of eBay or both maybe. BUT, I have been working on banners to make the buttons and I want to join the bump me up groups. I thin I will make my own banner for my new Pets Store I had a domain for. Another thing I need to get going! SO many, I need to, I need to, till I am totally overwhelmed. I can only work out one box at a time, so I am going to do the garage bump out thing and work the house fillers out to the garage.
I am also while I am re-doing this house going to make a display spot for photo taking. I have so many ideas and so little expertise and time.
My DH is out on sick leave now too as he had back surgery. His favorite line I hear, is," Can you do me a favor?" I love the ways that starts out! LOL, He has helped me so much to kind of get back on my feet as my neuropathy hit me three years ago. He did everything for me!

Also I got sidetracked when Emma (our new puppy) came in with muddy feet, so I had to get out the carpet cleaner and one thing led to another, I cleaned many much needed yards of carpet, much more that just her muddy footprints. Water I do not mind ~ mud, I do!
And, it looks like we will get a lot of rain form Gustavo, as he moves ashore tomorrow. They are busing folks from New Orleans here to Birmingham. I wish I could do more to help the animals in need. I have the perfect shelter/Bed/ Crate to transporting them and all NEW Puppies anyway need these crates for confinement as they can get into so much stiff from puppy curiosity. Emma’s sleeps in hers and gets to be in it when I cannot watch her. She is getting better; I used to put her in it even to take a shower. She is asleep now the back door to the porch now anyway, and I am going to take the daybed down there and just move the wicker chairs there as a sitting spot instead of me lying down to read. I do remember those days, loved them, but no time anymore. At least not now! I can always put it back maybe later. And for the time being, Bob would like to sit out there more if it was not in the direct sun, so mornings are perfect.
Well, got to go, I linked to something and found Mashable.com, so I started it
Going also. I need all the exposure I can get. So now I am also at:
