christmas cards...

EVERY year or MOST every year, i make my Christmas cards..

it's fun.. AND i enjoy the personal touch that it adds.

i'd LOVE to receive handmade ANYthing, sOo.. why not give handmade, right?

;)

anyway..  i've been told by people for years that i should *publish* a line of handmade greeting cards..

o_O

honestly, the idea intimidates me as well as makes me mentally constipated..

i can't think of a good idea to save my life!

not good.

but, i've been doodlin' a lil' bit here & there and i thought i'd share a quick lil' doodle with you..

another lil' birdie..  ;)
should i color my doodles??
i sure could use some input..
*sigh*

i'd love some feedback.. should i make greeting cards???

leave me a comment..  let. me. knowwwww..   <3

Q is for..

quilting!!  ^.^

do i suddenly become an old lady if i have an interest in such unique works of art? one of my friends thinks so.. o_O

i BEG to differ!

i find quilting to be VERY intriguing!

not just anybody can turn a picture into a blanket..  or.. a blanket into a picture.. *heh heh*

& that's what this girl is doin'... and doin' quite well, i might add.. ;)

look how cute!

♫"God bless the fishes in the deep blue sea"♫ 

sweet lil' birdie.. & you KNOW how i feel about lil' birdies... 

i'm a sucker for bright colors.. i'm seriously thinkin' of giving this type of artistry a try.. i'm impressed..

isn't this one adorable!?  

looks like this just might be my next lil' project.. :)

sometimes..

there's really nothin' to say..

sOoo.. i found a cute pic.. cuz i'm good at finding cute pics, i guess.. lol

and that's good enough for me..

it ain't mine either.. i just grabbed it from the good ol' WWW..  go figure..

then, i thought maybe i'd share a lil' doodle with u.. cuz sumtimes that can be a fun thing to do, too..

i hope you're enjoying your weekend.. <3

emotions..

funky kinda day.. makes me wish i had an *off* button..
i'm sure i'm not the only one who goes thru stuff like this, but when i'm goin' thru it seems sOoo real.. & sOoo bleh.

ewww.

sO.. i decided to put down a haiku for you.. maybe you can relate to my yuck.

a haiku.

i need control NOW.
but i'm a girl.. and moody. o_O
what's up with this yuck??

a lil' doodle.. she's a bit moody, eh? :)

okay.. so i'm no poet.. i'm aware of that. but aren't haikus 'spoze to make a girl feel cool?  lol..

i've been trying to learn guitar forever, too.. but i'm no guitarist either. sOo.. i'll just doodle guitar-playin' babes in the meantime..  *sigh*

feelin' better, by the way.. 

don't ever end the way you began - if it's sucky. ;) 

TODAY is..

"Come & TAKE it DAY"

you can't make this stuff up. (read about it here)

all i hafta say is...

somebody's probably goin' to jail..  O_o

only good thing to come out of this holiday for me was a lil' doodle.. 

NOTE to self: you really should make up holidays that benefit EVERYbody..

but not in this way..

sure, cops are benefitting (they won't be bored).. you benefit when you take what you want.

but, if the end result is you're locked up.. are you happy at the end of your *holiday*??

i don't think so.

happy "come & take it day" lol..

just kidding.

photography love!

her work is SWEET. well, not all of it is hers, but i'm thoroughly impressed..

sweet green!

vibrant colors..

the one below is a great photographer also.. it's from this guy.. quite impressive photography.. some a lil' yuck, though..  :D

his subject matter may make you a bit *squeamish* lol

i'm lovin' the double rainbow.

:)

gotta be in a good mood...

if not, i become a grumbler.

ewwww..  O_____o

people don't like being around pain in the butts grumblers.

it's annoying. (and to think i was about to *go* there)

even Jesus doesn't like when people complain.. (Phil. 2:14 do EVERYthing without complaining/grumbling/murmuring..) 

sometimes, i just can't think of anything to write about.. then i stumble over sumthin' that basically sums up what i'd like to say but dare not cuz if i say it then i'd become a part of the masses of people that people complain about who are pain in the butts grumblers.

heh heh..  (that was on purpose)

anyway.. i found this..

I am numb--this blog is numb.
I think I'm done.

I don't have anything positive to say lately.  I don't take the time to really put together well thought out posts either.  I'm starting to not care and no one really reads it anyway.  I think it's time to let this blog go.

See ya somewhere else! 

(grumbler's credit.. not that grumblers want credit for grumbling.. but OH WELL.. shoulda thought about that BEFORE you typed. lol)

then i was like..

WOW. 

why is that girl buggin' out like that?  doesn't she know there's a reason to keep going?
not that i don't understand how she's feeling, but come onnnnn... 

pull yOself together, chicKLet!!

i'm talking to her AND myself..
READERS are worth my time. i like to share my thoughts (whether silly or slightly normal) with YOU!

but WHY? 

.

.

cuz, i said so. 

;)

sO, i decided to write a rhybloem. (rhyming blog-poem, get it??  nevermind.. lol)

Readers make me all happy self

Followers make me all joyful elf

I type & doodle & google, too..

Don't even think for a minute that i do this all for you..

but you do help me to keep going... ;)

so, thanks. :)

that's me.. when i'm all happy self. 

antiquely-inspired..

still not feeling like myself gives me plenty of doodle-time. (see last thursday's post for details)

i think the *students* took out a bit of my brain with that WISDOM tooth..

seriously.

i mean, WHY am i feeling groggy? why do i have a constant discomfort in my head & face?  & why is my face looking like sloth from the goonies?

ok.. not really, but it feels like it does.. this is NOT me, by the way..

umm.. cuz i just had a bone cut from my head. apparently, that's the part of my *procedure* that the wonderful dental students forgot to mention.

i am NOT a medical anything. i don't even like to take pills.

i felt pretty sucky this morning only to look in the mirror & find out i look how i feel.

ew.

not. attractive.

O_o

sOo.. i'm feelin' all desperate like *maybe* they really DID remove sumthin' they weren't 'spoze to.. & WHAT WAS IT??  was it really part of my brain??

i googled. google can be very kind. and patient with people like me.

google basically said, "girlfriend, they cut your bone off yO head. you might be swollen for a LOOOONG time."

thanks a lot, google. 

that's encouraging.

-_____-

sOo, here i am. feelin' somehow like that piece of my bone that's missin' had some brain attached to it.

honestly, if you felt like i do, you'd probably be thinkin' the SAME thing.

here's a doodle that i did to help ease my mind.. makes me think my subconscious mind is whispering..

vacation..

happy fall y'all!!

a lil' doodle to celebrate this rainy 1st day of autumn..

:)

more birdies..

they aren't all that special.. i just like to doodle. a LOT.

4 lil' birdie friends

i feed birdies on my fire escape.. maybe that's what makes me draw them so much.. i enjoy watching them enjoy tiny nibbles & fight due to mere greed. lol..

they're fun. :)

fun furnishings...

i found THIS blog!!  i thought it was too cool!  next time i find a stick, it's goin' on my wall, baby!!

how cute is this lil' touch to a wall? i <3 it!

i NEED modpodge!!

or something like it.. i feel sO deprived! LOL

apparently this stuff is GOLD.. and i'm missin' out! i mean.. look how amaZing this frame turned out.. you can see more here..

i bought the "spray" kind of acrylic stuff..

i get the heebie-jeebies just thinkin' of sprayin' that stuff and breathing in all of the noxious fumes..

sO.. why didn't anyone tell me sooner that i could just use modpodge and a sponge brush.. to decoupage my ENTIRE world!? is it that you just don't know... or are you like me, holding out so people don't steal your ideas?? :P

either way, i want a BIG container for Christmas.. the stuff that GOLD is made of.. ;-)
