many different things

it's been too long since i last posted! i am sorry for that. i have a cold today. sneezing, headaches, runny nose, stuffiness - the whole shebang. i've spent the day on the couch, covered in blankets, drinking tea, listening to pandora & reading the historian with the cat on my lap & watching city island. not a bad movie! worth a check out : )
anyways, the photo is of my cellphone today at 11:11am when there were all ones in the date - wooo hooo! lol.
so the mini getaway with my sister was good : ) very relaxing. we actually stayed in most of the time all cozy in bed watching movies (vampires suck, scott pilgrim vs. the world, the book of eli, going the distance)....yeah. oh & we got tattoos from the quarter machine & made rice crispy treats from marshmallows & frosty flakes from the dollar store. oh yes, big spenders here! hehe.
once we returned home, i was greeted by wendy bearing gifts:
isn't it cute?? she said she saw it & thought of me : )
she rocks. i mean, look at her! well, she came to visit our grandmother in the hospital. she's not doing so well... : ( keep her in your prayers!backing up a little to christmas - petunia gave me the most adorable little gifts! she crocheted a yellow bow hair clip (isn't it so cute?!), & gave me bird tape & a zine (with a game). the zine is from this awesome site that encourages kindness : )also, backing up to when i last went thrifting - here is what i found: a vintage suitcase for more mini getaways, a fish bowl for felix (or maybe a new goldfish?? : )), a large vintage dress to alter for myself, & two tote bags to sew pockets on. many new projects to keep me busy!one last thing! i added more new things to my shop!! including cute plastic dinosaurs : )
whew! that was a long post. sorry about that! but now i get to look at all of your blogs! i haven't in a while now...
