"I was reading the news and started feeling depressed about Obama's health plan, the war, the economy, home values. I called Lifeline and got a call center in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal. They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck."

That was someones status on Facebook and it made me laugh. :)

Found a recipe for pumpkin whoopie pies and two types of fillings - one with cream cheese, the other with fluff and maple extract. Plan to try both soon or even attempt to combine them - maple cream cheese anyone?

Took Eliya out shopping today. She really likes little child size chairs. If we find one and she gets to sit in it, she really doesn't like to get off. Actually raises a bit of a ruckus when I make her leave. I'm going to search for a little rocker for our home.

A cardboard box, a butter knife, markers, an old pillow = a fabulous NASCAR racer (complete with flames, wings, and a handle) for baby sister created by Mathias. . . with an accompanying pint size castle for her dolly.

It doesn't take much to amuse us around here.

Counting down the days . . .

no not until Christmas . . . but the new year. . . anxious to get started on new projects and plans. The results of the last craft show were fairly good - better for my partner than me, but I wouldn't say I'd never do another show. For now, I plan to do sewing for me and the home. The house needs some painting and repair and decor projects so that'll keep me busy as well. Taking the photo shots for the craft products sucked me back into photography mode. I'd like to get back into it and am setting up some lighting lessons. Definitely something I need - I'm more of an occasionally lucky photographer than a good one. So you can expect to see some of my photography attempts posted in the near future. Keep an eye on your mail box (and this site)the Christmas portraits should be arriving any day now.
