Enjoyed it. Sad in parts, but perfect chick flick.

Repro Men

I think I need my head examined. I went to see Repro Men this morning and WHEW!!!!!!!!! What was I thinking. The idea is starteling to say, but a movie dedicated to reproing organs. It was bloody to say the least. What was FW thinking?

Off to paint the bedroom. A much better use of my time.

Wisteria

Yesterday we made the shopping circle. First, the Tuesday Morning Last Call on Inwood. I bought a bathroom rug for $2.00 and some kitchen towels for $4. Then the cutest lamp store on Lovers Lane. Have to go back there. Next, to the most unforgetable fabric outlet on Harry Hines--it was not good. Large, but not good. Now I know where I can get a large selection on spandex. Finally, the last stop was the Wisteria Outlet. I love this place. I've never bought anything big, but I absolutely love everything that I have bought there. I bought some pillows similar to these but in greens and turquoise for $5 each. The colors were perfect for me as was the price.

Junk Yard Madness

For the last two days I've carted my son to some bizarre junk yards. He's looking for a car hood for an art project---just the right hood. What we've found out is these junk yard guys don't want to sell their junk. I thought this would be an easy experience but no.

New Moon

Yesterday I went to see New Moon. Actually I had taken off from work because my dog, Bear, was geting fixed, and he doesn't know how to drive. Seemed like a good excuse to see the movie.

I was a little shocked by the $12 price tag for HD but well worth it. The storyline is basically true to the book, and I, a true movie freak, loved it. There were a lot of teenagers skipping school there, and what I found most surprising, quite a few adult males sitting alone very engrossed in the show. Bet they didn't read that book at lunch.

Looking forward to the third movie already. I don't know how they made great movies before computer graphics.

 

Betty's Birdies--Finches. This past summer I was in Fulton, NY for a family reunion, and my aunt Betty had tons of yellow finches eating at her bird feeder. Inspiration.

 

She sells sea shells.

 

Got some new paintings to upload. More SusieQ's

Bad Blogger--New Painting

New painting that I finished for a friend's daughter. I had a lot of think time on this one because of the brown and turquoise colors for a beach scene. I like it myself.

I am challenging myself to blog more. Today I completed 4 paintings which is really good since I've been a lazy painter too.

Estate Sales, better than garage sales

I have found a new passion-estate sales. The prices are higher but the junk has been weeded out. Last Friday we went to an Estate Sale by Help Me Rhonda in Highland Park. Don't know what happened, but Highland Park shut them down 10 minutes into the sale. Found this great site that lists the estate sales in the DFW area.

New Paintings

I have finished two new paintings and have several better pictures of the cheerleader paintings.

Country Home

I lost a friend this week---Country Home. I have read this magazine since it first was launched and am feeling a loss. On top of that, my favorite ME Home Companion, Home, and Cottage Living. What's a girl to read---the back of the cereal box! Seriously, I went to Country Home's site to email them and could not find an email address. And what about subscriptions? I received the Hallmark magazine yesterday. It is not anything I would have chosed, and I'm not sure what it is replacing. I might have to find a step program to help with my withdrawal because I am a decorating magazine addict.

With this news Blogs have become even more important. There are fresh ideas on-line, and although I enjoy my magazines, I also enjoy reading the blogs.

Cheerleader Painting

I just completed this custom painting for a cheerleader. The color scheme of the room is red and hot pink. I think it turned out cute.

Bad Ebayer

I bought a blackbery from Trojansteals on ebay on June 29 and never received it yet(Today is the 11th). I am upset about this. If you look at his recent feedback since I purchased there is alot of bad feedback. When I bought he had an 100% rating. I keep thinking he is reselling the blackberry over and over.

New on Ebay

I found some paintings I did a while ago that just listed on ebay today.
