I heard...

..that my grand kids expect me to bring an original gift

when I visit them at Thanksgiving.

(I think I have set a bad precedence)

I have not had a creative thought for months so this task was challenging.

To make it more difficult, I am not equipped to be

creative when it comes to BOYS..

This is what I made for Farren who is now 5 yrs. old.

This is a pillow for her bed, the colors will match

her bed room color scheme.

I used fabric, appliques, and felted wool, buttons

(notice the bee buzzing around).

The flower pots are pockets,

so she can hid her little treasures.

I think this will make her SMILE. :)

Now, what to create for FINN..?

It's Beginning to....

I am putting on my

and dusting off my

and

some ideas for my

Christmas

Omniture Halloween

For the past several years, Omniture, now an

Adobe Company

has it's annual Halloween Event.

It's a private party with family and friends of

Omniture employee's.

Last year was fun but this year was really great!

My daughter Katlin's executive office were "Smurfs"

Each dept within Omniture, dresses up and decorates

their area with their own theme.

Some of the themes were:

Las Vegas, Never, Neverland,

PAC MAN, Care Bears

Here I am with this "Betelgeuse"

from the movie Beetlejuice

this guy was really acting the part which gave me the "creeps"

The very last was the best display of creativity,

it was 3-D of space travel,

we put these on

and walked thru a really cool 3-Dimensional maze.

Thanks Omniture/Adobe!

The Gray Thing Again...

I guess I need to go talk to my "hair dresser-shrink" again,

(she must not be giving me the therapy I need)

or

Maybe...

I am beginning to like the color or should we

say the "NON" color of my hair.

To make my statement about going gray I recently

submitted my photo's

to Anne Kreamers book site

She has a page of women with

Before & After pictures

you can see for yourself

click here.

It's not my best look, but never the less you can

start to see the slow down of my

“melanogentic clock”

Here is my "new mantra,"

I just joined the Left handers Group on FB

I felt as though I needed to join a group of people that I can relate too.

It is difficult for "right handers" to feel this way,

"lefty's" are more sensitive and have a

keener insight into how others can and do overcome

life's challenging obstacles.

I borrowed these images

from my FB group.

Thanks
