Crafty at Work Part II

When we craft at work, we call it Art Therapy.  Doesn't that sound fun?  Aren't you just a little bit jealous?  :)

I saw this Sharpie ad that created fun ornaments out of simple colored ball ornaments and silver Sharpies.  If you are interested, check out their website...they actually have lots of photos that people submit of things they....well...sharpie-afied.

So I brought ornaments (colored and clear), fun markers, paint, etc.  provided some ground rules and let them go to it.

I think they turned out pretty darn adorable...but around work we focus on the "process not the product." 

Happy Creating!
 
 
 
 
 

I love you iPhone but....

So it turns out that my computer hates typepad. :( Everytime I create a post ( and I mean everytime) it freezes and I lose all of my work. So I have to save the draft every three words and when it freezes I have to restart my computer and repeat. Sigh....

I am currently typing this post from my iPhone and as exhausting as it is typing with one finger, it also turns out that I cannot add photos, hence the photos from yesterday's post (done on my iPhone) showing as img.blahblah. To fix I will now start the fun game of freeze and repeat. :)

Happy Fall!

I hope that you are some where enjoying chilly and wonderful fall weather.  Here in Southern California....I spend hours (not really) starring longingly at all my pretty sweaters.  Some of which still have tags on them and are anxiously awaiting some love.  It is officially November and still 85 degrees.  Sigh...  I am not, and have never been a California Girl.  Fall is my favorite season... but I don't ever really get a Fall.  Unless I travel of course.  Why then is it my favorite?  Hmmm???  Maybe it's that I know that it's Fall somewhere, and instead I settle for the pumkins, apples, and warm colors that I see on decorations, cards, and clothes?

So I get my fill of Fall where I can.  A couple of weeks ago, I took a day trip to Oak Glen to go apple picking...or rather purchase apples that someone else picked...and home made apple butter...and eat yummy apple pie.  I usually love to have fresh, hot apple cider, but on this particular Saturday it was 99 degrees and for some reason I was just not feeling like Hot Apple Cider.  Weird huh?  Oak Glen is one of the closest places to travel where you can actually see the colors change.  This year was a little different, but still a great day.

Here are a few photos of a great little farm.

 
Looking at the pictures, it is making me want to go back....I'll cross my fingers that the weather will cool down enough to warrent another trip, so that I can actually have cider this time.  :)
 

My New Niece

Once again...I'm just gonna catch up on all the posts that I have been creating in my head...and we'll just ignore the date of when they were posted.

Meet my new niece Sydney.  Isn't she adorable?  These are pics of Sydney and Hannah's first meeting.  Once again, I think it's doggy karma.  This little one has A LOT of energy...and I'm pretty sure Hannah has forgot that just a couple of years ago she used to torture all other dogs she came in contact with. 

"play?  play??? plllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Like I said...Doggy Karma.

 

Wishing you a wonderful day spent with the ones you heart.

Pampered Pooch

Don't you love the 2 times a year that your favorite pooch sheds ALL of their hair.  Well maybe not all of their hair...but enough that you could make another smaller version of your dog.

Here are some pics from our latest brushing adventure.  I should be on a FURminator infomercial.  And as you can tell...Hannah doesn't hate the attention.  

Did I do that???

 

I'm hoping that she's almost done with this most current shed-o-palooza.  She can't possibly have much more to lose...or can she...? 

Hannah Sweetie, I think this is what they call doggie karma...

"Hannah, remember when you've tortured your brother Kobey? Or stolen his toys? Or knocked him out of the way when he was being pet? Or hogged the food bowl? Or stalked visitor searching for attention?  Or jumped in our friends' laps?

I think this is doggy karma":

And...in case you were wondering:

When you give a 6 year old a camera...she's gonna want backlighting and a small work crew.  (Extra points if you get that reference)  :)

 

 

So what do you think?  Does my niece have a career in photography ahead of her?

You should see the ones I didn't include!
