thankful #438

i'm thankful for my church.  :)

i've been goin' there for a LONGGG time.. & the consistency of the spoken word is pure awesomeness..

the where & the when..

wanna watch a short video about it?  click HERE!

drastic times call for drastic measures..

i'm one of those *too* nice people..

it takes a LOT to get me to flip.. unless it's my j-boy #1 o_O

sOoo.. in times when i need to get my point across and people wanna act up, i'm thinkin' it might be a good idea to just morph on 'em & look like this

i look like this to my j-boy #1 when i'm angry..
i'm pretty sure.

just sayin'...

honestly though.. WHY is it that the people that are the closest to us feel the most of our fire & rage??  when i'm angry, i don't think twice about snappin' at my crew..

you don't start yellin' at people in the supermarket when they bump your cart, do you?  well, sum of y'all do.. i've seen you..  o_O

nevermind.. that's not my point.

& i *think* i kinda have the reason(s) why we treat family like doo doo..

it's cuz they're always around.  i mean, they're the ones who BREATHE your air.. even when you don't feel like sharing it..   AND you know they ain't goin' nowhere..

sO, it's almost like subconsciously we say to ourselves, "Self, now you KNOW he ain't goin' nowhere so you might as well go ahead & cuss him out!" even though you know you don't cuss..

whatever..

just a lil' thought..  there's peace in my crib, but a picture is worth a thousand words..

or a penny for my thoughts?  or sumthin like that..  ;)

pic credit here..

timing..

i think about creativity & i get a lil' scared.. this guy clears up the reason WHY..



**BONUS**  a good laugh.  =)

Cool pic...

Good for those times when there's nothin' really to write about, but I KNOW you deserve a lil' sumthin..

;)

And in case you had any doubts, YES.. it's a fly. Don't ask me why. I just grabbed it for your viewing pleasure.

Am I thoughtful or what!?

and of course this pic would inspire another whack haiku..

lookin' cute all wet

yet you still so, sO dirty

i never liked flies.

Nevermind... O_o

photo cred here..

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.. :)

sweet slipper shopping.

i was sO totally doin' some VERY necessary slipper shopping online when i decided to check on etsy.

now anyone who knows etsy KNOWS that etsians are VERY much a people who want to make money, (you know.. greenbacks, cheddar, dough). heh heh...

in other words, they ain't sellin' no peanuts.  O_o

but i hafta say, i found some awesomely crafted stuff..

there are some eXtremeLy creative people in the world!


look at these..

super adorable. insane, actually. (but i can't give her my 50 bucks for 'em)

and these!! 

now she KNOWS if i'm not givin' the boot girl, my $50, 

i'm certainly not gonna give her $75 for some peas.  O_o

and these!! (for when i feel like being a happy elf)

but, for 65 bucks, would i really be THAT  happy???

and these for when my feet shrink..

a LOT.

obviously, as you can tell, i am the WORST person to shop with ever. i prefer not spending over 5 bucks for ANYthing. (cheapskate)& unfortunately, i tend to have funky, but expensive taste.. cuz people who think funky, also think *show me da money*

just kidding..

but just ask me for my paypal account info if you wanna donate to my slipper fund. :D

just kidding... lol 

o__O

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.

:)

a love nest..

i am a lil' birdie.. i *KNEW* it.

i sure do need one!  this baby is ADORABLE!!  i could dream away in there.. & all my neighbors in the hood would envy me..  heh heh..

i'm not much of a napper, but couldn't you just see yourself snoozin' away in one o' these??

it's aBsOLutELy amaZing.. & you HAVE to see more pics.  honestly. 

no. seriously. take a look..

now all i have to do is find a friggin' tree..  O_o

gosh. <3

a must see..

about this guy....>

heh heh..

;)

GAP

wow.. this one is unbelievable.

i hafta admit, i would've never seen this one comin' in a million years. & i'm sure i'm not the only one to feel this way.

some things just feel right..

other things just give you the impression of someone trying a lil' too hard..

i'm honestly disappointed.. but, who am i?? these people have been through HOW MANY years of successful business venture?

nuff said.

sO, although almost 90 percent of people dislike the new logo, i'm sure GAP will survive..

unlike the lil' green alien girl.. lol

eye candy?

i think so. :D

but wait!! there's MORE...

bottles..

every now and then, i feel like i find something that makes me say to myself, "i think i've seen it ALL"... & i'm sure that's all cliche', but part of me feels that people have WAY too much free time on their hands, sO, they build houses.. out of plastic bottles.

hmm.. O_o

scary. but honestly, interesting..

i hafta say, after further research & examination, this is an aMaZing project.. i'm impressed.

and get this... it's GREEN!! We should ALL be building houses out of plastic bottles..

LOL

two funky ones..

the AWESOMEST pencil. ever.

check this one out! i think i've discovered my encourager for 2010.. i need a BIG eraser!! no.. i mean a BIGGG eraser. i foul up all the time, sO, this would be a pretty awesome one for me.. why not be honest with yourself.. by being PREPARED!!

maybe i should start working on the "just add water" model. LOL

this scale is kind of.. *ahem* intriguing.. if you REALLY care about your weight, but if you have friends who think they're fat, you might wanna reconsider.. or they may not be your friends for long.. it's like one time i had a FULL length mirror on my bathroom door.. which FACED the *cough* toilet..

NOOOOoooooo!!!

umm... i needed some serious bathroom etiquette! i had a friend who was less than enthused who managed to let me know in the kindest way.. we're still friends. LOL

anyway.. this scale is taking chances.. i think. find out more here and here..

inspiration!!

call me inspired! i can appreciate this article... it's pretty amaZing to hear a success story of someone who's still doin' it the "old fashioned" way! according to the article, she still does ALL of her crafting by hand.. unless of course, i missed something..

makes me wanna go "make" something..

=)

you can see more of her work HERE..
