The mini gnome, his mini book, and a tag a lagga ding dong






Look at that little rock star would you?

Yeah, he's a B.A. and he knows it...quite a little party animal. He was returned safely to Kristy and her family along with this story of his adventures...

**Hubby suggested this traveling music for this post. Holy poo, it's killing me*!* : )
(Now that I think about it, "Sparky" would be a good gnome name!)












Ok, so I added him in this pic with the grabby Mr. Cook. I initially brought the gnome ("Little G") to get photos with the AI crew but y'all, he's made of cast iron and well, I wasn't going to lug him around in the 90-something degree weather all over downtown Tampa.

And yes, I'm ill. That is a copy of Delaney's signed program (every page) shrunk down to thumbnail size. That's just sick.



Please don't be offended by the "cheap Greeks" comment.

I'm married to a Greek so I have a sort of silent permission. It's all good.

































And there will be a next time...

Oh yes, there will be a next time.



Yippe ~ A TAG *!*

Love these...don't know why.

I was tagged by the AWESOME, totally talented, SO talented by the way, I think someone should be paying her... No joke. I have NEVER seen one piece of work the chick didn't do that wasn't perfection. Go check her stuff out~you will be BLOWN away*!* ~Oh yeah, and we share a love of the HOT Mr. Johnny Rzeznik... OOOOOH baby ; )

Here's the tag from the rockin' Miss Glenda.


7 strange things about myself:
(I'll try to narrow it down...sheesh)

1. I am a freak about posture. I don't think people realize how horrible bad posture can make you look and how your poor guts just function better when you are standing/sitting up straight. It kills me when women get dressed up in a sassy little dress with the cutest pair of heels only to roll their shoulders forward and have their torso assume the "C" position. Stand up straight people*!*


2. My side of the bed has to have a hospital corner fold...HAS to.


3. I can't stand a bland colored plate of food.


4. I LOCK EVERYTHING. I love the outdoors but I will NOT sleep outside. If I can't safely lock myself up, it ain't gonna happen.


5. The llama thing and the nun thing are true.


6. I wear mostly black and white...not sure why.


7. I don't do water parks.


6 Random facts about me:


1. I have zero tattoos.


2. My face is COVERED with freckles.


3. I LOVE 80's music. I was only in grade school during the 80's but for some reason, that music did something to me. Now the clothes, make up, etc...I pray that cr*p NEVER comes back in style.


4. I secretly wish I was a B.A. (ex: see #1)


5. I HATE for people to be embarrassed or scared.


6. I love blogging and all of my bloggy buddies. How cool is this that we can all check in on each other, see how each other is doing and share creative inspiration? I just love that. Thank you by the way to all of you for popping in on me, giving encouragement (I don't have too many crafty people in my life so your input is invaluable to me), and just saying hi.
You just rock in other words :)


Good Lordy...I'm knee deep in sappiness.

Gotta clean this cr*p up...

Love the Gnome book, it is so darn cute, and what a great adventure Mr. Gnome had, he is one lucky B.A. Gnome.
