don't look back

i have this new blog- they made me switch to the new version and i did- the email said that the switch was successful...but alas on the dashboard, there was nothing. it is a miracle that i could even get back on to this one to tell you that after countless frustrating hours, i just started a new blog- so go here and see my new and not necessarily improved blog.
don't look back...

scrap a rama

so, here's the next thing you all need to buy- a punch that makes a 1.5" square- the greatest! punch out an assortment of valentine-y papers and glue the squares on a 12x12 sheet of paper-it looks good if you leave some of the bkgd. paper showing- cut the 12x12 down into atcs and voila! a fab background-easy as 1-2-3.

teen fun!

like soup and sandwich...

this work of art (!) just fell into my hands- an old photo and a piece of type from "For 2cents Plain" by Harry Golden.

part of the treasure trove.

lookie, lookie- my mother sent me these photos and a ton of others- also, i got what is no doubt the only original left of my great-grandparent's wedding invitation- they got hitched in 1910-i'm in heaven...

ooh la la~

52 ain't so bad.

weird times six~

i've been tagged by the queen for a day- see link to the right- not sure how much of this weirdness i want to put out there for all the world to see- but here are some of the more tame weird things
1. i have very odd toes. not just ugly, but as my mother would say, "we can tell you were descended from the apes." i have a very large space in between my big toe and my second toe, i am double jointed in my big toes and can flip matchbooks off my big toes (this could be a really great stupid human trick), all of my toes bend backwards and touch the top of my foot and if that isn't gross enough, i can put my baby toe on top of my fourth toe just by thinking about it-
2. i love tote bags and shopping bags and purses. i must have 100 of them and i can't stop buying them. (actually, ditto for office supplies, crafting stuff, jewelry, books...)
3. i have been told that this is weird- but to me cottage cheese, ketchup and corn mixed together are divine.
4. i used to HATE cats. absolutely HATE-now i let my own cat sleep in my personal space in the bed while my legs are all folded and crippled up so that i don't waken the little darling from his slumber.
5. when i was in 6th or 7th grade i was a nixon girl at a republican rally. the father of one of my friends was a big republican back then and he asked molly to round up some pals to greet the candidate-i actually bumped right into tricky dick while he was coming down the aisle of the convention center.
6. i love people magazine and sappy movies. just pop in a tom hanks and meg ryan-anything with a happy ending video and i am in heaven- throw in a people mag to read while the movie is playing (no need to pay attention, since i've already seen them all about 25 times) and that would be utter heaven.
angelica, how about you?

just in case you were wondering-

the arrow is pointing to the area of my kitchen floor that squeaks- a squeak indicates that there is a weak spot in the floor- this could be where the lowlife last owners of this home tried to fix the squeak and banged multiple nails into nothing rather than the floor joist which i had an opportunity to view from the basement this morning-hence, i have no new kitchen floor because they won't install it because it may crack the tile where the floor "gives"- so this is why i never do anything to my home- we all know that it is never simple-one thing always leads to another and another and another-just in case you were wondering-
