“New Jersey: You Got a Problem With That?”
“NJ: How You Doin’?!”
“Most of Our Elected Officials Have Not Been Indicted.”
~LOL~ I found a neat blog called Wastedblog.com and they mentioned about NJ looking for state slogans . Now I almost live in NJ and my brother and his family live there, so I can poke fun at them. ; )
Here’s my suggestion:
“Got a nest egg? Crack it open at Caesars!”
Check out my link over there on the left.

I might as well make a little moola off of this. I can make you a header in the dimensions shown or to your preference. Let me know what you like: colors, graphics, lettering. Please be specific. I will make three different headers for only $10! (I have a paypal account). If you are interested, leave me a message or contact me by email (found at the bottom of my blog-mouse over my name). And if you have been following my blog, you know I am particular about graphics, etc.
Thank you…thank you very much.

This morning I just retracted all the bids on one of my eBay items. It was a stuffed tiger from 1995 that looked a heck of a lot like Hobbes from the Calvin and Hobbes comics. It was Brian’s idea to email the toy company because the tag didn’t say who he was. To my delight, the bids got up to over $27! But unfortunately, it was Topper Tiger, not Hobbes as stated by the lady from the company in a reply email to me last night. Bummer. Hopefully someone will bid on it because they like tigers. To tell you the truth, I don’t think there was ever a stuffed Hobbes toy, thus the excitement over my auction-there were over 200 views.
Sean and Brian said not to say anything and be dishonest to my bidders. I just couldn’t do that. Mom and my brother Don said to tell them. So I did and I feel sad, but my consciousness is clear.
~Update-I have a new bid on ‘Topper’! ; )

My mom went to her doctor yesterday because she still isn’t feeling great. He told her it was ‘ok’ to take the pain pills as needed. He also recommended she see a nerve specialist or whatever they are called. He asked if she was depressed. Wouldn’t you be if you hurt all the time?
I think a person hurting should try different alternatives to healing their bodies. Mom had massage therapy for her sciatica and that helped a bit. I was thinking acupuncture and Holistic treatment. I have told her a zillion times that people into herbs say to consume large amounts of garlic. She didn’t buy the gel ones. So, if she decides to try something other than the western medicine approach, I think she may find some relief. Herbs have been around a lot longer than meds.
I speak from experience-Milk Thistle helped my elevated liver enzymes restore to normal. I’ve been taking it for over 3 years.

Tonight I made some little Christmas gifts. I can’t list them here as I don’t know who reads this blog.
I was a bit depressed when my mom called and said ‘she was on her way out.’ My brother called me and said mom has always wanted to be the center of attention and was coddled her entire life. As an old lady, she can’t handle it because her kids have a life that isn’t centered around her. I love her dearly, but she needs to be more thoughtful about remarks she makes.

I am sure you have heard about the 18 yr guy who allegedly killed his 14 year old girlfriend’s parents and fled with her over the weekend. They are from Lititz, PA, about 40 or so miles from here.
I have to commend the Amber alert as they were caught and apprehended in Indiana.

I made this fella back in 1994. I remember because the OJ Simpson trial was going on. It was one of those years I was making autumn goodies like stuffed pumpkins (which aren’t that hard to make and they last for a long time).
I may have had him on my blog around this time last year, but isn’t it funny how I remember what I was watching on tv when I was stitching him up?
The poor guy has a floppy head. I should put a stick up his neck. I also finished the bench he is sitting on (the spindles are painted Colonial red or something like that). The cats have ‘added’ their signature to it in claw marks.
I guess I did him in honor of the scarecrow from ‘The Wizard of Oz’, one of my favorite flicks.

So I thought this order didn’t go through! I’ve been waiting a few weeks. (Nordic Needle online)

These are the last three headers that I have made. Click to enlarge. Which one do you like the best? Are there elements from one that are better than the others?
#1-Pink lettering
#2-Night sky
#3 Aqua sky
Let me know. I’m always open for suggestions.
~Update~
I forgot how many neat photos and graphics that they have over at Corbis.com. So I found the cute graphic plus the photo of Diana-Goddess of the Moon. I think the lettering explaining the blog looks better too.
I may not be finished yet though. ; )

I gathered a bunch of hydrangeas before the cool weather hit.
I love the pink bunch on the top.
