This made me do the UGLY Cry!


(please be sure to turn off the music on the left hand side by hitting the pause button)

I just found this on a great blog this morning...and I watched it..listened to the words, before I knew it I was doing the UGLY CRY!! I am not sure why. I know I am emotional wreck most of the time..maybe the lack of sleep... Maybe PMS is on the horizon?

But I really think that Over 6 years of selling my "art" I feel like I hit some kind of cross road ( or perhaps a dead end?) and I am thinking "What can I create now?" "what should I create now?"
I have always loved making dolls, however some of them are very labor intensive.
When you create something and no one asks, comments, or bids or buys (sorry to sound like a winey butt, I truly am grateful that I can do this though no matter what!) on your stuff it really does effect ones self esteem. And I know that it should not, but how can one not take it personally? I mean it is something you brought to life and it would not exsist if I did not make it. The past year I had so many distractions. I have tried to stay focus on creating but it can be hard. I Find myself starting one project...having another idea, starting that one....then starting another. Before you know I have so many unfinished projects and none of them are calling my name to finish them.


I think the good part of how I feel is that I am not the only one. I recently Joined the Suzi Blu network and SOMEHOW I don't feel so alone anymore. Time after time I read the biggest distraction people had is that they could not focus. Now, I find it hard to belieive all of us have A.D.D.


I know I am just rambling..some of you may think this adds to the crazziness that is me, maybe others will feel connected..I don't know.

TGIM (Yes, Thank God it is Monday!)


















Thank God it is Monday! Now, I know must people frown down upon Mondays...I LOVE THEM! After having the kids and hubby home for the weekend I feel like I can get back to creating.
And today was no different, I was able to finish up my Spooky Time Jingle Offering!

Don't get me wrong we had a great weekend, and I got a visit 2 times in one week from my mom as well. You see shortly after we got our Washer OUR DRYER WENT OUT!! We were with out a dryer for 2 weeks. I was unsure if or when we would be able to purchase one. My Mom suprised me a BRAND NEW DRYER! It felt like Christmas all over again. Because for Christmas We received our very first GAS GRILL! OH MY GOSH..I am sooooo loving it! after years of starting fires and shoot on freezing days who wants to do that? Now, with a push of a button and a turn of a handle Grilled Chicken or burgers are a cinch.

the next couple of days a big chill will be on, I am sure I will stay in the house and not get out. I am hoping to finally get to creating some pieces for EBAY! I am having EBAY withdrawls!

While I am here chatting away I would like to thanks Kelly of Mystical Entities for bestowing me with the



'This blog invests and believes in the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers' aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes for self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!'
I normally Don't do the "award" Thing either, but I really like what this one stands for and I will for sure in the next few days be passing along this award. I like this award because there is so many awesome blogs and people out there and just through reading posts, sharing thoughts, ideas and feelings you some how feel close and connected with out feeling so alone.
Well, I have rambled long enough for one day...
Wishing you a Wonderful week ahead..
