Well, looks like we're going to have a tussie mussie party!

Girls have started to say yes, I will so, do that, so what are you waiting for ?? Come on....... email me and tell me your ready to join us. The more the merrier. It is time to get messy, you know glue, paper, glitter.....our favorite things in the world.

So how bout we celebrate spring.............yippee

I was thinking maybe a May 1st tussie mussie swap.....you just make one. Make it out of anything you want and any size you want. Fill it with what ever you want, flowers, seeds, candy, tea, just something to brighten someones day and welcome spring. A name will be drawn to see who the lucky recipient of your creation is and then you can wait and see what comes in your mailbox. Sound fun ?????? Let me know by March 31st....dust off you imagination and get busy.

This is the only organized thing in the whole place.

Chrissy had no idea when she made me this fabulous bag for Christmas two years ago exactly how abused and overfed it would be.

I'm going to get to it. It's just a scary pile. That's all. And none of it is junk mail.

Hey, is anything in your purse breakable?????

Well, didn't I feel just like the mad hatter? Chrissy and I had just finished lunch at the Cadillac Ranch and jumped in the car to go to the movie....when I realized her purse was under my butt....maybe I should not have had that second beer at lunch...and I bet she was wishing I had not had that BIG hamburger. Oh well, everything survived and Alice in wonderland was so perfect for me......visually outstanding. I am usually way to fidgety for movies but I was sorry to see this one end.

I also got news on my birthday I had won Wendy

Vecchi's blog give away....I never ever win anything....and it was on my birthday ! I don't know if you visit Wendy's site but she is so talented I just love her flair for distress.....be sure and stop by http://studio490art.blogspot.com/ I am sure you will like her and she has a new book out, looks pretty darn good. I am very patiently waiting on my surprise package from her to arrive and I will let you know all about it.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes. I truely do enjoy birthdays....no matter how many I have had. This 60 thing is not as exciting as 16 or 21 was but it is still good.

The other morning I met Stella for breakfast and when I arrived this package was sitting at the table. my photo skills need so work so I will describe it a paper bag....image of an old photographers studio surrounded by vintage text....then grunged "JUST enough and tied shut with string.

Well, I could hardly wait to open it and there was the most beautiful box inside. An antique photo frame surround a image of old books and a lamp. The greeting is embellished with a watch face, key and lock.....as if that isn't enough....there is something inside this treasure.......Isn't this just fabulous????? and just my style.....and not purchased, handmade, we all know how I feel about handmade, and it was handcrafted by Stella. Is she good or what??? It's like I can't wait to see what she is up to, and it is always something wonderful.

Saturday Scott, took me to amish country. We hit a few antique shops and our favorite meat market......then Chrissy,Jim, and my forever best buddy Jodey got together for supper.....we ended up at the Normandy Inn in Minerva....and had the best darn steak ever. Sure don't know what took me so long to get there.....geez, 34 years to find a good place to eat in the neighborhood....o.k. i do live in the boonies....22 miles.

Wednesday Chrissy and I are going to see Alice in Wonderland....I am really taking advantage of this 60th birthday thing, huh?

woo hoo.....I finally got outa the house and went shopping with my friend Stella....what a feeling...I had just been in here too long. we had breakfast, shopped a bit and then had lunch, shopped a bit more....it was wonderful....and I did not have to cook a thing.

So to celebrate I made you some tags to print out....just double click on the photo, so it is full size and save to your computer then print when ever you want. I hope you like it.
hugs,
jackie
