If the profiles of  all of these wonderful people are current, there are 2 prizes destined for the UK, 1 for Germany, 1 for Italy and 1 for Alabama USA! How cool is that? I has so much fun again this year and I want to thank everyone for their wonderful comments☺ Congratulations winners! You should  be getting an email in mere moments ☺

I honestly hoped to have photos of my "door prizes" much sooner that this.  Sometimes having a 'day job' can be so inconvenient. LOL! So here they are... (I have added them to the original post also) In honor of this being the fifth and final OWOH, I am drawing five names. The first name drawn will receive this guy He is holding a little plaque commemorating the event, but  it is removable. Then he just looks like he wants a hug☺ The second will receive this A "steampunk" heart pin and a sterling silver wire-wrapped lampwork glass ring. (Lampwork by Juls ☺) The third person chosen will receive this A little collection of polymer clay leaves and buttons. The leaves are perfect for jewelry making, scrapbooking, mixed media whatever! And the buttons are great for... well... button things. LOL! The fourth person will receive this Polymer pendant with glass beads and freshwater pearls. And last but not least, the fifth person drawn will receive L...

As usual I don't seem to be able to follow simple directions. LOL! Apparently I am supposed to announce the winners on the 17th. It shall be done. ☺ ~~ Comments are now closed. ~~ So I may draw the winners! It's here again! This is the fifth and final  One World One Heart. What is OWOH you may ask? It is one GIANT blog party hosted by the very talented, energetic and gracious Lisa Swifka of  "A Whimsical Bohemian". The idea is to travel around the blogosphere and visit new people and possibly make new friends with the added bonus of possibly winning a "door prize" from one (or more) of the blogs you visit. Click on the links above or the one on the side bar to visit the  VERY LONG list of blogs participating this year. Just a little about me... I live in Alaska with my husband and our two fur kids, Lily and Scooby Doo (They are a little on the hairy side, but the are my babies;~) I  love to create things, anything. My current passions a...

Today was definately not my day.  Considering the mood I've been in the last few weeks, I could have done without being on hold with customer support at  Quickbooks Online for 1 full hour this morning just to find out that the only people that could fix my issue, which they caused , was the Advanced Support Dept. and they only work 4 hours a day and I was told to call back this afternoon and since it involved filing my 940 form which is due by the end of this week I had no choice but to call back. At 2:35 I started holding for customer support, they picked up at 3:10 just long enough to put me on hold to wait for Advanced Customer Support to pick up, which they did at 5:15! Yep, great service there at Quickbooks Payroll. I did take the time out of my busy schedule of waiting to send them  and email reassuring them that I was using my 'hold' time constructively by spending some time researching which program  I will be using when I cancel their ...

Ever feel like life in general is just spinning out of control? I have been feeling like this for a couple of weeks now. I don't know if it all of the 'Year-end closing' I'm doing at work or  if it has to do with beginning the new year thinking about all of the things  I wanted to accomplish last year and didn't. We are also checking into a refinance, remodel, add-on thing with the house and that continues to get more and more complicated with the proposal, appraisal, building plans and proposed "as built" appraisal, etc., etc., etc. I get this feeling now and then (thankfully, not too often). I'm not a control freak by any means, I just like to know that I have a say in what direction my life is taking, and organizing something, ANYTHING, seems to help when I feel this way. I guess it's kind of a way of being in control of SOMETHING. So this weekend I spent my time organizing (and cleaning). VIGOROUSLY! I am actually quite sore but I feel a l...

Rough week. Definitely ready for the weekend.

Aside from crocheting a summer hat, because I am in  total denial of how much winter there really is left to come, I've been feeling very 'uncreative' lately. So this past weekend I decided I would just take the opportunity to clean up my 'area'. As I was putting away some of the items I had brought upstairs when I was in one of those "I could probably do something with this" moods, I had an idea. Don't you just love hoops? I love hoops☺ betcha can't guess where I got these perfectly lovely, perfectly round hoops. These even have a little texture. They are super duper lightweight and I just love them. Where did I get them you ask? TAA  DAA!!!!! Yep,  I bought several of these for stocking stuffers at  Target in the $1 bins and I had 1 leftover. I cut a section leaving about an inch overlap, curled the ends in opposite directions and then snuggled them together. I really like the way they turned out. They spin nicely and you can get l...
