This weekend I have a bag of goodies to abandon. Im just going to hit places around Spirit Lake, inside and out. Keep your eyes open and you might find a fun little treat. :)

I put a basket in my book store area of Courtyard Gardens and have put some Free Art/craft in it. Girls survival kits right now. Stop in a grab one for yourself. Check out Art Abandonment on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/groups/ArtAbandonment/

Art Abandonment. Completed my first art abandonment today at the same time my first challenge. http://www.facebook.com/groups/ArtAbandonment/ Check it out. Join. Have fun. Sophia and I took my little bags of craft art and hung them on a tree on the bike trail to McDonalds, then we ran away real fast cause some people were coming and we didnt want to get caught. :) We went back a bit later but it was all still there but its super hot out and I figure tonight and tomorrow morn when its cooler and the trail is being used more some will be picked up. I will let you know. :)

Finishing up a few LTC's then moving back into scrapbooking for summer. I might slip and LTC in there now and then but trying hard not too since I NEED to get some scrapbooking done. And then I can get new paper so its all good!! Will post pics soon of LTC's ive put out lately.

Dang it! I hate internet change so much!! I like the old blogger so much better, so much easier. Oh well I will learn this one too I guess. So...last night Facebook wouldn't let me load pictures and not so much today either so look where I am. Heh! Heh! I have been completing projects and it feels good to get them done and free up space. Im almost caught up with LTC's and am going to bring out the scrapbooking again for summer. Last night I made Sophia's tooth fairy pillow. I love it. Im thinking of making more and putting them in my bookstore also. They will look great with the reading pillows. That was the big surprise from my last post. Reading pillows. They are turning out great and my Mom LOVES hers. She uses it every day. She says its great, and eases her hands, that is a great thing for any elderly people with hand problems. I dont have any pics of my reading pillows yet but I have them on display in the book store. They are $30 each. The tooth fairy pillows will be $13 each. Let me know what you think. :) The scissors are to give you an idea of size, The ribbon loop is to hang it on a doorknob if you would like.

My poor poor unused blog. I love blogging and hate Facebook for ruining it. I do have a job, went back to an old job. It works. Also have my 5 year old granddaughter living with me and need I say more about why I dont blog anymore. Love her, hate not blogging. :( I still havent even sewed up my last giveaway to giveaway. How sad. And its all still sitting right here because I have every intention of completing that. Along with a ton of other projects. All sitting here. < Heavy Sigh > One day at a time, one project at a time. So in amongst all this I have started a little side business. Past Pages Used Books. I am located in Courtyard Gardens in the old restaurant part. I am so excited about this. I have always always wanted a used book store and this is the beginning. Right now im just 'renting' space from Courtyard but I hope someday it leads into my own store. Boy, do I have visions and daydreams...ahhhhh...they make me happy though. Im just so amazed I have actually started towards this goal and not just dreaming of it all the time. Im starting small and just working out of my paychecks so its not that grand right now but it slowly will work its way there, more reason to keep stopping in to see whats new. I plan on adding books on a regular basis to keep that always refreshed also. And lots of good sales on already priced down books. Then soon I hope to have some pos items like bookmarks and such. If I can find someone to make very nice homemade ones I will carry those instead of mass produced ones. And last but not least I will have some of my homemade items in there. One already is on display but its a surprise for right now. Heehee!! I will let you in on that very very soon!!!

Unemployed...

Now that im unemployed again I should have more time to keep this blog updated. Its going to be my new home after Facebook changes so I really need to play here more often.

So when I last left off I had a couple LTC's to show off and I will do that here in a day or two but first im pretty sure I had some craft to give away. And I do. :)

So im going to put it out there one more time....anyone want a practice piece from my Pinterest crafting adventures please leave me a comment saying Yes, please with your name and one will on its way shortly. :) Janie and Liz, you are already going to be receiving packages very very soon.
