I {Heart} GGG!!!



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! ;}

GO GLITTER SOMETHING!

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!!!!










THANK YOU!!!!!

MEOW!!!

RUFF!!!!

Tealightful!

Several weeks ago, my sisters gave me
some tealightful treats so, I figured
"Tea Things Tuesday" would be the
perfect time to share them!

A set of dessert plates with beautiful
Redoute roses from Bee.





A lustre-y gold teapot (reminds us all of our
great grandmother) from Kae. The gold is
amazing!





You can't get rosier than a rose shaped
teapot! A picture just does not do this
justice, it's one of the prettiest pinks I
have ever seen.



And how cute is this lid? I want to
wear it as a pin! Would people stare? ;}



And this is just plain cute! A birdfeedery
dish thing...surely not food safe but I can
usually find a way to adapt most anything
to me needs!



Be sure to stop by KIM'S to find more tea-licious treats!

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Pumpkin...

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!!

Blue Plate Special!

I caught myself lying again...
going through some dishes and
discovering just how much blue is
in them!





This kind of thing totally wrecks my
"pink girl" street cred!





Maybe is all in your perception?
Maybe the "Bluebelles" see the blue
and the "Pinkies" see the pink?






Or maybe I'm just making things up
and I need a shrink??!!




What ever my "problem" is...I have a house
full of blue...and I never even knew it!
