Puppet Show on a Blog

HooRay! The doorway puppet show that I recently painted is featured on a blog; go check it out http://riskybeads.blogspot.com/ . Update on products; I'm finishing up a really cool kid's Art Gallery. You can hang it on the wall and display your kids art. I will have a picture soon. Next on the agenda is recreating Lucy's help desk from Charlie Brown's Christmas. It's on of my faaaavvvorite Christmas cartoons. Although, I love many cartoon's, Christmas cartoons are my absolute favorite.

Peggy Hilling it Today - Alice.com

Ok, I often look to Peggy Hill for her confidence even when she is filled with useless knowledge. But I promise you, this knowledge is not useless if you have kids, career, some type of social life, etc. I was watching the Today Show one morning and they were mentioning useful websites for those with very little time, money or memory (I forget things constantly). I ran to my computer to see what all the hype was about and Bammm I found Alice.com. Alice is the errand runner for your home (at least grocery shopping). If you're like me you make a once a month grocery shopping trip in which you try to stock your home with all of the necessities. I don't look forward to this trip because it involves planning. Someone keeps the kids (don't dare bring them or it will be a long trip), check to see what all you need to buy, make a list, search for coupons, blah blah blah. You get the picture. Once you set up an account with Alice.com, she will ask you questions on products you use and how often you will need to replace them. Then (bonus) it will offer you all the available coupons; SWEET! On top of that, there is FREE SHIPPING always. Alice will remind you when you might be low on items via email. I purchased $235 worth of products and there were $35 coupons taken off the total. I bought everything from baby food, diapers, medicine (OTC), hair color, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, etc. and it was delivered to my door. From now on, I love Peggy Hill, but I''m loyal to Alice. Give it a try.

Pirate on a Scooter

Howdy folks, this is my first post. Recently my family and I decided to take a voyage, heehaw! Sometimes you have to get out of the house on the weekends before the kids take over. My husband, a great and entertaining man (aren't they all), said "Let's go to the renaissance festival." It's alway a people watching experience. Floating fairy's, knights in shining armor, owls, magicians, and of course PIRATES. Now, I love pirates almost as much as my 3 year old does. Arrrggghhhhh, I sees me a pirate sitting on his scooter about to light up his cigarette But, perhaps it was a sign of how wonderful the Ren Fest is; everyone is welcome to come out and party. Snap! Took a photo and now there's my memory that I still giggle about "The Ren Fest pirate on a scooter." That's how I want to be when I grow up; enjoying life no matter what.
