~Happy Monday~

Thursday? WOW!

Ok, the local girls are on (Take 5), that means I better get movin'... yeah, right- who am I kidding?

When I hear the local girls on TV I know that I've got 1 hour and than that ANNOYING show... with Howie (who doesn't touch people's hands-I'm totally on board with Howie on that whole grossness!  If you meet me, I will hug you, but please.... do NOT try to shake my hand cause I'll shoot you down like I'm  head of the NRA!).  Oh, what is that show... DEAL OR NO DEAL!!! that's it and don't get me started on how much I HATE that show, the long pauses, the corny jokes, the overly obnoxious contestants showing the banker who is boss by slamming down that clear acrylic box!! 

Yesterday I picked up darling daughter from school... her teacher walked her to the car, I quickly checked her face to see if her glasses were ok since the last time the teacher walked her out we had this:

 but the glasses were fine... the problem...?

have you seen this jacket?

after searching all lockers and giving every kid a cavity check- they came up empty handed. 

Last night the Mister started a war, no, not with me.... with the ground moles that haunt him!  Think 

Caddy Shack with Bill Murray!  We don't have a gopher, but the 

passion is the same!!

Carl Spackler: "License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote."

The evidence:

the solution:

  According to the Varmint Man that was out last night setting traps!  Yes, people, it's getting serious around here!!

Ok, enough of that I'm headed down to my studio to get working on more banners.... lots of ideas swirling round my brain!

this is the banner that is now for sale on etsy in my store:

papercutsarecute

the DIY version is also available!!

Check out the new shop widget at the top of my blog!
(thanks Ginger's Girl for help with this one!!)

Whewww, i cleared a space!

I'm pretty sure my work area is NOT going to show up in an issue of Sommerset Studio's or "Where Women Create"!  I work better in chaos and this is pretty clean so I'm off to trash it up!

My Hello Kitty pillow that I made in 7th grade home ec!

Have a great day... it's almost FRIDAY!!

It's Friday, thank goodness....

Hmmmm, this has been kind of a weird week for me.  

I haven't really felt like i've been on my game...

I've had appts and random coffee/chats and running to get a bucket of blue cheese chunks at Costco, so maybe that's kinda make me go all left brained?!  I guess if I don't have time to hang out down in my art room I don't get that right-brained time... I'm not really the kind of person that can utilize 15 min.  I have to run darling to the eye dr. for a re-check today at 2, it's 9:45 am now, but for some reason I can't get creative if I KNOW I have to do something later... weird, hun?!  There are some of you out there making AMAZING art with a house full of kids where you have to work in small time slots- I'm in awe of you!!  

So, I apologize if the blog is a little dull or out of sorts this week... 

My computer is moving SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow today that I'm ready to tear my hair out!!!  It took me over 1/2 hour to load 5 pictures!!!! FIVE!

Ok, deep breath.... deep breath!

these are from my new etsy store:

papercutsarecute.etsy.com

I've been working on the packaging, I still need to figure out a way to print my store name and info on the bag topper!

This is just a stamped tag I did, but it's too big and WAY too time consuming to hand stamp each one...

anyone have any cool ideas they want to share?

I have so many idea swimming in my head, but this week I just never made it downstairs... Next week seems pretty clear so far, so I hope to REALLY step it up next week!!

Look for Weiner dogs doing the hula-hoop and Matryoshka dolls and Make-Your-Own-Banner

 SOON!

and I'm going to give quilt updates on Friday (don't worry, I'll just do it on Friday so I don't give you quilt-overload!!)

This is the last update... 4 squares 

and then there were...

6

If I keep it up, we'll probably be able to actually use it next winter!! Unless, of course I can talk the mister into moving us to Hawaii and then I'll just have a blog giveaway with the quilt (don't hold your breath ladies!!).

Is anyone going to see "Alice in Wonderland" tonight or this weekend?  Darling Daughter wants to go but I'm not sure about that... I kind of want to see it 1st to see if she'll enjoy it (she's 6).  If you LOVE Alice in Wonderland, go grab a copy of:

Somerset Studio March/April

It's full of all kinds of goodies from the story!  I'd share some pics, but I don't want to waste another 9 hours uploading...

Have a GREAT weekend and come back next week for a better blog...
