Since I am always blathering on about the GGG
{German Glass glitter...I'm gonna trademark that! ;}
I thought I should do a bit of blathering about a new
and fabulous source!
LOOK AT THAT BLUE!!!!!!!!
A source for which I can take no credit
whatsoever! My nephew and his fiance,
Katie, found this place and bought me the
motherload!!!
Does that look just like crushed pearls, or
what???!! LOVE IT
It's called GERMAN PLAZA and they
have so many colors...your head will spin!
{Seriously, Linda Blair style!}
And it comes in 6 oz containers for only $12.25!
That is almost free! Truly, a little goes a long way
with GGG, these could cover an ocean of starfish!
{And they will!}
WHAT???!!! You think they were crazy
enough NOT to get me PINK too?
Nope! They know better than that! ;}
(**Disclaimer** although this looks like
a yumalicious treat...a mouth full would
not be a wise idea! ;}
Kelee is our gracious hostess for today's event to help raise much needed $$ for the poor little furry guys who have fallen victim to the rotten economy! Please be sure to watch the video above (tissues in hand!) and leave a comment on KELEE'S blog... each comment made before Oct 1st is worth $1! Every Little bit helps!
As you probably figured out from the ^..^ by my name, I'm a pet person. I do now and have always run a halfway house for stay and cast-off pets (not literally, but it seems like it!) My sisters' pets were rescued too.
This is Kae's "Hero"...LOOK AT THOSE WHISKERS! He was a graduation present for her oldest son several years ago. A shelter baby, he was little and had weepy eyes and they thought he might be frail for the rest of his life...NOT HARDLY! He now weighs art least 20 lbs and has feet as big as mine! Lizards fear him!
Oreo is our bloggy doggy and spokesmodel... (just because she's the only one who will obey the "sit" command.) She was adopted by Bee... she was supposed to be a chihuahua... ;} She love to chase ice bits across the floor and sit on her dad's shoulder like a parrot!
This is my Sammy. She was adopted by a nice family after the neighborhood stray had kittens... then their house burned down and they had to move into an apt. and could not keep her. She went to live with her dad's sister who was living a glamorous life in Venice...when that got old, she moved back home to go back to school...Sammy needed a new home and since my Princess had just died the day before...she became my new girl!
This is Bee's "Jack"...he just turned 21 in June! And this is what he does most of the day! He was rescued as a newborn from the trash bin of a grocery store, with his 4 brothers & sisters. Bottle fed and the whole nine yards.
Sabrina Fair (her mother is a bit obsessed with the movie "Sabrina"!) She was rescued from LITTLE BOW WOW RESCUE , and she is a tiny little pistol, trashcan tipper overer & squirrel chaser! She loves to take daddy for a walk and will sleep like a baby in your arms.
And this is my guy, Dutch. He was a newborn rescued for the pound with his 3 brothers and sisters and was bottle fed and cared for during the entire editing process of the 2nd X Files movie. I'm very happy Chris Carter decided to only keep Dutch's brother and not him! I love my little alien!
We can't imagine our lives...
without our furry little monsters!
And we can't imagine...
being forced to leave them...
or give them up!
Please remember to leave a comment on KELEE'S blog
and give little guys like these a new lease on life!!!!
I tried to do the "pale pumpkin" look last year, you know, the look that everyone was and is doing...but I couldn't really get the hang of it. So, these ended up in a trash bag in my garage... half-painted, banged-up & yucky.
I forgot to take a real "before" picture...I got a little carried away when my Muse decided she was up for a challenge. But you get the idea... cheapo orange plastic...in a trash bag.
So, I gave them a good spray...oh, wouldn't it be nice if makeup could cover as many flaws! ;}
And then I added the bling!
Those stick-0n rhinestones...
...turned these boring little guys into
tasty treats!
Delectable!
Delightful! It's a good thing that the hefty bags I drag down to the garage...take months to actually make it into the bin...just in case they need a second chance!!
You are more than the choices that you've made...you are more than the sum of your past mistakes...you are more than the problems you create...you've been remade.
