Ugh...I have eaten way too much the last two days. Turkey dinner with all the trimmings last night, along with pumpkin pie and cheesecake! Today for lunch a turkey sandwich with cranberry relish and mayo. Dinner tonight another full blown turkey and all the trimmings. I feel like a whale, but it's sooo good!! Shall I have dessert? No...no....and NO!!

************************

Shop is under way...black Friday wasn't so black for me but we did have some visitors. I'm dying to see how the pottery sale at Roberson is doing. I stopped by early this morning and couldn't get in to the room due to no key around. Oh well, maybe I'll stop on Sunday morning and check out how the inventory is. On another note, I ventured out this morning early to get a couple of good deals. If anyone out there loves to shop on Black Friday, let me just tell you you're NUTS!!! I was about to loose my mind in Target. The lines literally wrapped around the store. I started up to the front of the store with hopes that I would run into someone I knew but to my un-luck...nobody. Something told me to turn and head towards the jewelry counter and to my surprise...there were only about 10 people in line. Yeah me!!! Score!!

In and out, got what I wanted and outta there!

I laughed out loud for this one!! A turkey for a turkey!

I found some funny turkey photos online so I thought I would share them!

They actually took tin foil and make this design and cooked it this way.

Can you imagine serving this!

Funny!

Love this kitty...go get'm tiger!!

Wintery images from Tuesday. Graydon had an hour delay in school so he had fun throwing snowballs at Todd and Callie. The snow was so beautiful hanging on the tree limbs. I do have to say that I like winter when it is like this.

The freezing cold and slushy snow I can do without!

Graydon was exhausted by 9:00 last night he fell asleep with Callie close by. Before I took this photo, Callie was sound asleep and they looked so cute together.

A boy and his dog...what could be better!

Upcoming Show(s)

I am currently working on two separate shows in the next few weekends. First of all starting tomorrow night (Tuesday) we will be having our annual pottery show at Roberson Museum and Science Center. Directions are pretty easy for all you locals who might want to come. It is a great show with some wonderful potters including my fellow artist friend, Nancy http://therabbitmuse.blogspot.com/. I just checked out her table at the show and she had some incredible jewelry for sale. I will be setting up my table hopefully tonight. The show runs tomorrow night from 5-8PM and then the next three weekends in a row. Look above for the dates and times.

Stop by and say hi!

Next is my show that started this past weekend, and it runs every Friday and Saturday from now until December 20th. It is hard to read the direction on the above postcard. Please google my address and if your local stop on by. Lots of great gift ideas as well and another fellow artist friend Michelle of Hodge Podge Creations. We have everything from handmade soap, jewelry, pottery, fabric, cards and more! Make a wish list for your honey to buy you!! We also will be having baked goods such as biscotti, various cookies and Cinnamon rolls in the upcoming weeks.

No rest for the wicked I say!

Wow, I just realized I have not had a post in a long time! These past two weeks have been a little crazy for me. I have been creating and trying to get my little shop ready for this past Friday and Saturday opening. Also, I have been working on a wedding for our neighbor/friend, which happened to be yesterday! Do I sleep...yep, but I go like a bat out of hell when I am awake. So this photo above is what my car looked like on the way to the reception hall yesterday...full of table arrangements that I did. On top of the 20+ arrangements, I created the brides ball which is shown below, a calla lily on top of her mother of pearl bible she carried, 13 bridesmaids, 13 ushers, the grooms boutonniere, 2 nosegays for the mom and grandma, 3 wrist corsages, boutonnieres for the dads and grandpa, a throw away bouquet and some miscellaneous stuff. Plus I set up everything once I go to the reception (Todd helped as well!). Whew!!!

Here is the brides ball she carried hanging off her arm as she walked down the aisle.

I need to get a better photo of it...

Table arrangements at the end of the evening.

They look much better than what this photo reveals.

Another arrangement for the table when you enter the reception.

And yet another arrangement with the bridesmaids calla lilies....

**************

I do have to say it was yet another great experience

I have under my belt.

Thank you Grady/Kazmark family for

allowing me to be a part of the wedding!

Congrats!!

I don't know if any of you out there in blog land have been hooked on these Webkinz. Well let me tell you that in our household there are over 30. Graydon loves stuffed animals as well as myself. I even have 2, Graydon gave me a black cat and a chickadee! Well now the new ones are out for December and I want all of them!!! The hedgie is so cute as well as the otter. The otter reminds me of one that my sister use to have when she was little. She use to carry it al over the place with her wrapped in a mexican blanket. Sorry D'Lynn!

**************

Well, I'm off to work and then home to get some stuff done.

I have things in the works so I'll post them soon!

Twilight Fans only 10 more days til the movie....

******************

Well, if you haven't figured out yet...I am hooked, 10 days til the movie. Unfortunatly I will not be able to go to this movie the day that it airs. I have so much going on that weekend...oh well, it will be exciting when I do see it! Here is a suggestion from me...try and read the book before you see the movie. I just watched the trailer for the movie and oooooooooo it looks so good. They really did a great job matching up the characters to my ideas. Bella looks exactly how I envisioned her and Edward....huh need I say more!!! Edward for all you Harry Potter fans was Cedric in the movies and books. He is much more mature looking now and play a wonderful vampire. If you haven't had a chance, check out http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/, it is her official website. Find the video and play the song...

************

The above book is the 2nd in the series and I have gotten half way through it. Not quite as good as the first but I am plugging away at it. Don't get me wrong it is still holding my attention quite well but Edward is not in it that much.

***********

Well...if you haven't, pick up Twilight and read it!!!
