Bummed Out

Really got bummed out the other day.  I was all excited to start taking pictures and got things all set up.

Only to find that my camera had decided to just up and quit on me all together.  It had been acting up for a few months and just when I needed it, it let me down.

Off to Walmart I went to look at new ones.  After falling over from the prices,(I am a real tight wad) I found one that is on clearance for $149.00.  I will be going back to get it as soon as the check book grants permission.

Don't need one with all the fancy bells and whistles, just easy enough for me to operate.

Hope you have a wonderful day.  And I do PROMISE that pictures will happen here.  Just bear with me a little longer!!!!!

Time Flies When You are NOT Having Fun!!

It has been a rough  past few weeks and I am just now getting back here. 

It started when our beloved horse Scarlet went down and we lost her that evening.  We were accused of neglect of our horses by a deranged woman and thank goodness the county officials said otherwise. 

After dealing with all that,  (and believe me it was AWFUL!!!)  hubby and I both came down with the worst chest colds to hit us since in forever.  During all this I forgot to pay the cable bill so they decided to not allow me access to the Internet for a little bit.  But that problem has been corrected as you can see.

My youngest that was living with us decided to move with her sister out of town.  And I can't believe she felt the need to take my three grand babies with her!!!!  I had to take one day for a lil pity party for just me, I don't handle quiet, empty houses well at all. 

But I am happy to say that I am back and I did find camera batteries so I plan to spend the afternoon taking pics and working on getting my Esty shop ready to roll.  More on that later!

Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!

Quicky I am Back Post

Been away for a little bit.  Darn bug has been swooping thru the house like a mad man.  For a while I dodged the bullet but I guess all the hours of cleaning up poop and puke (gotta love grandbabies)  spraying enough enough Lysol to choke a horse and sanitizing any thing that wasn't nailed down caught up with me.

Fully recovered and excited to get busy.

New batteries are being bought TOMORROW!!!!!  And I got some cool antiques and vintage items from my folks to show you.  You'll get to see alot of before pictures and a few after!  Most of my after pics will have to wait till warmer weather so I can get outside to paint them.  But still very excited!!!

I am also in the process of opening an ESTY store.  That is work in progress.  Right now thinking of selling vintage items for other peoples crafts.  I thought about doing EBay but every time I do, I run into it costing be more in fees then it is worth it to me.  I might change my mind on that later.

I hope you all have a wonderful day and I will be back in a few!!!!

Positive Thinking

Today is the beginning!  I am trying very hard to think positively. 

I feel that this will be a banner year here on the farm.
No, I do not live on a farm, grew up on one though!  I am trying to decorate my home like an old farmhouse and I figured with 2 dogs, 2 cats,2 horses(they don't live here) and the container garden I am going to put out this Spring, I can call it what ever I want..lol

I bet you are all saying, "when is she gonna post pictures?!"  Answer:  As soon as I find those batteries!!  If not found by next payday, I will get them then.  I PROMISE!!!!

Back to my banner year....For some reason it just feels better.  Hubby might be getting a chance to do all mechanic work for a company here.  I feel really good about my job and the direction it is going.  And my daughter that lives here (TEMPORARY!!!) stated college a couple of  days ago and just got a phone call to start a job at one of our local factories.

Not much to post about today folks.  I believe my Cleaning Fairy moved away and left no forwarding address.  So I have to do it my self.  

Have a wonderful day!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful and safe holiday season.  I know we did and I can honestly say that I am glad it is over and am looking forward to the rest of the year.

We stayed in last night and I wasn't even awake to see the new year come in but it was here with no trouble when I woke up. 

Still working on getting things organized like I wanted.

And guess what!  I at least found the charger for my camera batteries.  That is one step closer!  See, I told you was gonna do it.....
