~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ It’s National Child Abuse Prevention Month and I made this set of Sesame Street Felt Fuzzies to sell as a charity auction in my eBay store. 100% of the sale will benefit Prevent Child Abuse of Texas - a non-profit organization dedicated to creating “families and communities where children are free from abuse and neglect and nurtured by a loving family.” I can put either snap clips, alligator clips, or pins on the backs of these… mix and match - it’s all up to the winning bidder! Pssst, it’s hard to tell in the picture but the Count even has a little plastic monocle sewn in! Ha. Ha. Ha! ^_~
Please support this amazing charity by either bidding on or watching this item on eBay (380022290359)! Thank you so much!
I heartmeebo! For years, I sought high and low for an IM program that would actually work on my mac. Alas, I could only use the built in Apple iChat… which of course, none of my PC-slave friends had.
I saw a chem-trail plane this morning but couldn’t get to my camera in time… I must say one thing for the guys spraying the skies over Plano, TX (with God knows what) - kudos on the creative trail patterns. I like the argyle patterns you make here better than Vegas’ boring straight lines (see video). As a crafter, I’m all for creativity - I’ll remember your pretty patterns when the tumors start to develop and my children can’t breathe. *_*
My (conspiracy ) theory is that someone is trying to manipulate the weather and/or slow down global warming. The German government has already announced publically that they are spraying their skies with “harmless” bits of dirt and other stuff as part of ongoing wargame exercises. The chemicals sprayed are supposed to trick any ground radar facilities. They also admitted that they had manipulated weather satellite images to keep it from the public. Well, I guess if the Germans are doing it… our government might be practicing their wargames, too. Darn, I was hoping for weather manipulation - preferably with a mad scientist who has hair issues and a secret lair.
What I really prefer over chemically induced migraines are Pop Tarts. I can’t eat them (bad, bad, processed, toxic, ick) but I remember them as being especially delicious in the Brown Sugar & Cinnamon variety. So what better way to satisfy my desire for Red No. 40 and Pyridoxine Hydrochloride goodness than to make them out of FELT… *sigh*
Yummy, felty goodness. The glass beads might bring up some digestive tract issues but it becomes unnoticeable once the brightly colored hairballs start to come up. Enjoy!
I’m going to go drink a cup of freshly ground coffee before my sarcasm and excessive eye-ball rolling turns me into my pre-teen son.
Love and kisses,

P.S. The book I’m currently reading, Stumbling on Happinessby Daniel Gilbert, is NOT a self help book as the title implies. Yeah, I was bummed when I found out too - I’m all for self-help. It is however written by an amusing Harvard psychologist (wrap your brain around that oxymoron) and teaches you all about the human brain, why we do what we do, think the way we think, some other deep psychological insights, and all with a dose of intelligent humor. It gets technical in some places and I have yet to come across any fluffy rainbows or catchy feel-good phrases. It’s science, baby! So far, so good.
