Another Cookie Day

I made these for a private part at the Nature Center. Mmmmm!! I will do better next time, I learned a couple things. Maybe I could make a little extra money with cookies. Haha. I dont want to advertise though. Just word of mouth or something. :)

Another Cookie Day Part 2

This is how much I rock.....

Letter from a new fan.....

Hi,

My daughter, zyrxy, participated in the Literary Clue LTC game, and I was just admiring her cards today. I was really, really admiring your Poe cards, and I was wondering if you had any left you might be willing to trade for.


I don't usually trade through the mail individually, so I mark my cards unavailable until they are gone from gatherings and such, and then I mark them retired. So any unavailable cards are up for grabs in trade.

Your Poe cards are so beautiful, and if you would be willing to trade, please let me know.

Hopefully,

Thunderbird

...yes, I got this letter in my AQ mail today. Because my cards ROCK!!

And just so you know.....its not the first time.

People love me.

the cookie caper

The cookie nightmare. Fast version - new bird store in town. Nice lady, know her from other store. Friends with Mom. Mom and I went to store. Lady said oh would you make us some cookies for our open house, you mom said to ask you. I said yes but wanted to say NO so bad but its a new store and I like her and FUCK! Then later she called me to verify and said that my mom had told her that I should make 24 dozen. WTF!! shape sugar cookies decorated. I told her its a buck a cookie. she said of well just frost them with a knife then. I said no. I dont do it like that. So I said let me do some figuring and would get back to her. So im making cookies and frosting on my two days off in a row and im getting angry for not having any time for me and no way in hell can i make 24 dz. so i called lady Thurs morn, open house is Fri,sat,sun but they only wanted cookies for sat. So I told her no way can i do 24 dz and that is alot anyway and if she wanted I can make some choc. chop cookies also. She paused alot. I dont care and getting angry at this. but it ended ok and they get what they get I guess they can buy some from the store if they want. So i called my Mom to say not to ever suggest me again and I only got about 4 words out my mouth and she started screaming with lots of cuss words (usual mom) and I hung up on her. I WILL NEVER AGAIN FROM THIS DAY FORWARD EVER! EVER! LISTEN TO HER SCREAM AT ME AGAIN ON THE PHONE. NEVER!! ESPECIALLY WITH THAT LANGUAGE!! NEVER! So it took me awhile. she claimed she did not suggest me, nor suggested 24 doz. I belive she did not suggest me cause Dad was there with her i guess and he verifyd but not so much the 24 dz. that I do believe she said. anway back to me. so im angry i lost both my days off work. i wont get anywhere near the worth of time i put into these and doing this just made me feel ever more bogged down, I actually mailed the vacation cards today also. UGH! So again another late night baking. all cookies are done and im ONLY charging her $50 cause I want my fucking money, I want her store to make it, and I just want to have a lazy summer. Normal price what I think I should get is $100, so im going to make them a bill with the $100 price with a discounted price of $50 so they know if they ever want me to do it again....its a buck a cookie!!!!! Jordan...im making yours for free. I was thinking of making the tiedye tshirts for your and Janies visit. not the picnic just for us to eat. haha.

Summer Vacations Card

This card was so difficult to do. Its a swap that involves kids so I should have red flagged it right there. Not because I cant do cute, as we saw with Mowgli, but for t his theme I just had a shit difficult time finding something to do that wasnt already taken. My fault there waiting so long to pick what to do and I had my ideas I just didnt move fast enough in all areas. I also joined about 3/4 swaps and didnt pay good enough attention to how close the due dates were and I didnt want to drop any. I should have. I am not happy with my last two cards but they are good enough. This one is Summer Vacations. I wanted to do ghost hunting in Texas or Sasquatch but having a damn hard time finding kid friendly images. I just settled for this and quickly made it. Im taking a break from swaps this summer maybe even making LTC's until September or so. I just overloaded myself and need a break. I was looking forward to making some traditional boxes and carving for them and hiding them. I have hid two, only posted the clues for one so far. Those cards just burned me out and I ended up making an even bigger mistake by taking on a cookie job. More about that later. Anyway I just need to take a small break or at least slow down a bit and concentrate on few things I have wanted to do for a few months then get back to swaps. I want to host my own swap this Fall/Winter also. That will be fun I think.
So this card im not that happy with my carve and worse my letters, they are my first though. I need to get good at letters, Im scared of them. Haha. From now on I will just drop a swap if I feel too crazed. Its not worth it.

This is my yard in the Spring from the cottonwood tree that is our neighbors yard, she doesnt get any cause most of the tree is hanging over my yard. It gets this bad and WORSE when there isnt any wind. I missed the days where it looked like it was snowing out the window and the yard was covered in white.

Facebook

Im getting kinda bored with it. I log in and tons and tons of crap. It is a good way to keep in touch but there really should be more choices on what we want to see on our wall. I like all my friends and dont want to hurt anyones feelings but I can not stand all that gaming stuff and worse..worse...so and so became a fan of...or so and so likes...Im actually kinda shocked that adults keep clicking on these pages. I mean I know some of them are dang funny but still.

I find myself spending less and less time in there. Sometimes I log in and log right back off after all I see is junk information.

I dont know if I will post on here any more than I do but im pretty sure facebook is becoming a thing of the past for me. :( If they would let me choose what kind of information is on my wall I would probly continue. I wont leave it for good, like I said its too good of a way to contact people and stay in touch but im definatly not going to waste good crafting time or any other time scrolling through person after persons likes, games, etc.. to get to a few personal status updates that are actaully worth reading.

Its nothing personal to anyone, its just my opinion.
