INTERESTING DAY TODAY/MOTHER'S DAY

It's been a very interesting day in our shopping center today. #1 I've been really busy selling perfumes. That's a GREAT thing. #2 The nail shop had to call the paramedics for someone. #3 Somone sit fire to the bushes behind the shopping center. A couple of shops down from ours. The fire dept. came and put it out. Looks like it might have been a cigarette because the people in the shop where it was; goes outside to smoke and a big tall ash tray sits there. Glad it only burnt a couple of bushes. It's really close to the building. If anything else happened I don't know about it. Only reason I know about the other two happenings is because the people in the next shop to me came and told me. One more thing happened at the shop. It's good. FedEx delivered me a box and it had 2 Orchids in pots. My daughter Nicole and family sent them to me. One plant is opening up and it's yellow. The other one I don't know what color it will be, they aren't open yet. I LOVE Orchids. I have a baby vanilla one at home.

SOON it will be time to close up and go home. Then I have to go to the airport and pick my hubby up. Got to clean up the shop before closing.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL!!
My daughter Brandi, her hubby Jason and Cain our grandson are coming over for Breakfast on Mother's Day. They are going to make me Breakfast. Ken is taking me out for supper. MMMMM! Lots of good food and I'm on a diet. LOL LOL!!!

PICTURES OF MY DARK SIDE

These are pictures of the chair class I took with Jean Bernard when she was here teaching at our doll club.

REMEMBER when you look at this creation I usually do PRETTY!! Well, this time I did not do pretty. No matter what I did I couldn't do pretty. It didn't want to be a pretty chair. I really don't call it a chair now. It doesn't have a seat to sit on. :-)

My Creation isn't finished! I have lots more to do to it. It's going to be sitting on a board with sand, other bones, dried tree limbs and lots of other fun stuff. Right now I'm calling it My Dark Side but not sure what the real name of this creation will be. I'm sure it will tell me. :-)
YES! I had a lot of fun creating this piece. Jean was thrilled to see the dark side come out of me. LOL LOL!!! She knows me all to well-------I Do PRETTY!!! The other girls were shocked that I created a Dark piece. They know me all to well also. I Do PRETTY!! :-) I was shocked at myself but sure did love creating this piece and can't wait to totally finish it. My grandson Cain loves it and can't wait for me to finish it. I think I'm going to give it to him. He has a Birthday coming up in June. :-)

REMEMBER DARK SIDE IS NOT FINISHED YET!!! I WILL POST NEW PICTURES WHEN I FINISH DARK SIDE.

HELLO!! OUT THERE!!!

Hello. I know I know....I've been MIA Yet Again!! Our doll club had Jean Bernard last weekend teaching 3 wonderful fun days. I have not taken a picture of my so call chair(when you see it you will know). Well, it was going to be a PRETTY chair but IT JUST DIDN'T WANT TO BE PRETTY!! No matter how hard I tried to make it pretty in the beginning; It just wasn't going to happen!! I came out of my BOX and I DO MEAN REALLY GOT OUT OF THE BOX!! LOL!! BUT, I really had fun making this chair. It isn't totally finished yet. Maybe I'll show it in progress. I have to get batteries for my camera this evening. Hopefully Radio Shack will have the batteries I need. If I use plain batteries it will hurt my camera. Go figure??? Don't really understand that one but that's what the instructions to my camera says. The batteries my camera takes are Ni-MH.

I will take a picture in progress and post it this evening if I can find these Ni-MH batteries at Radio Shack.

And I wanted to say Hello to Everyone. I miss going to your blogs. I'll play catch up (if there's such a thing) later.
Love & Hugs
