...For Me? ♥

A big Whoo Hoot to my Blogging Buddy Pammy in Texas @ Scotty's Place . I just got a package from her and this was inside.

Aren't they FABULOUS!!!!
With my job at the Deaf School, they are especially going to come in handy.  We have to walk from building to building on campus, come cold wintery snow season, gloves are a must. But it's harder to sign with my gloves on.  Now I can talk away with these lovely Fingerless gloves!
I'm so excited!
I made Annie be my hand model because she has such pretty hands.

Awe~ She is signing "I love you"♥

Aren't they scrumptious?  I am going to be the envy of everyone.

Hey... did you notice Annie's nail polish?

Here, let me show you a close up....
This is Katy Perry's OPI line.  It crackles.  You paint it over any polish, and it crackles like this.  It looks like black polish, but when you go over the other polish, it separates like this. Pretty cool.  The Easter Bunny put it in both Annie & Emily's baskets this year. That Easter Bunny has always tried to stay with current fashion trends.

So back to the Romantic Fingerless Gloves... Pammy was participating in a Pay It Forward thingy we did in Blog World a while back.  I was one of her winners! 

Which reminds me.. I haven't completed my crafts to my winners yet. 
ummmm.

I'm on it now.  I promise! So Mark over at A Pirate Looks at 50 . And Rosaria at Sixty-five, What now? . Don't give up on me!  I will get it done :)

Love to all~  Enjoy the beautiful day♥

Amigurumi World

My new adventure is to make theses cute little crochet animals. I want to make Owls for Emily (Chi Omega mascot) and Turtles for Annie (Delta Zeta mascot). I think they will be so cute in small sorority themed Christmas trees.

Thanks to my great blog friend Pam from

http://www.scottys-place.blogspot.com/ . She sent me this book and encouragement to do it. ~Love you Pam! Promise to send a critter your way!~

It looks harder than I had anticipated. I am trying to muster the courage to get started... Or at least check my supplies for the guinea pig (well not really a guinea pig more like a ball, but it might look like a guinea pig if I give it a face).

So, no more stalling... I am going in! Wish me luck!

Beautiful Blogger!

#1. Pam from Scotty's Place, http://www.scottys-place.blogspot.com/ . I love her! Love her blog! She makes me laugh all the time. I get giddy when she writes. I know I will either laugh at her humor, be hungry after hearing her cooking tales, or be envious from her crochet abilities.

#2. Brooke from Brookie's Cookie Jar, http://www.brookiescookies.blogspot.com/ Love her too! If we lived closer I would stalk her till she'd hang out with me! lol...jk. Brooke & I have enough in common that we have become good blogger friends. I find her inspiring and enchanting. She loves life and sprinkles happiness wherever she goes. She is Blessed to have wonderful family and she takes her bloggers on wonderful photo journeys on her trips.

She still comes back to me & always gives me the best comments and praises. This woman has an amazing eye for art and her photography is marvellous!

Oh there are many others... But I am going to keep this to a minimum for now.

Love you all and thank you, thank you Ms JC!

Janis' Super Freaky Things

My Blog Friend Pam over at Scottys Place http://scottys-place.blogspot.com/2010/02/shes-super-freak.html had this posted on her blog. She cracks me up. And although I am not as Freaky as she (lol), I have a few quirks some do not know about. If you want a real laugh go to Pam's Blog... she is way better at this!

Tell 6 things about yourself that your readers don’t know. Apparently they don't have to be strange, but Pam used weird things so I am following along with her!
1. I count everything. Kindof OCD I guess. Everything. Stuff going into the Washing machine, coming out. Steps. Lights. Minutes. I am always counting.
2. I sing, dance and act stupid when Home Alone... My pets fear me when this happens. I get the "look".
3. I freak out when people clip their nails outside of the privacy of their own home or Manicure Salons. It pisses me off at work. Grosses me out..
4. Also get grossed out when people pick their teeth or make weird noises after eating.
5. I choke too easily. On simple stuff like spit, water or air... Today at work, I scared everyone in a choking fit. So embarrassing..
6. I am a big fat chicken most the time, but get strangely brave when it involves trying to rescue or help animals (wild or tame) or children (again wild or tame {jk}) . Something kicks in and I just go for it.

If you want to play along and put your six things on your blog, please do so and leave me a comment so I can check it out.

Scotty's Place Blog

My favorite Blogger Friend is Pam from Scotty's Place.
http://www.scottys-place.blogspot.com/
She is fabulous! Hilarious! Smart! Witty! And she is very Talented.
You must check out her Blog. She writes very well and always brings a smile to my face. She shares wonderful recipes, dog stories, and knitting projects. She has a gift of gap and I love reading her blog.
She is a Knitting Queen. All Hail Queen Pam because this gal is the Bomb. She very generously has shared some of her ware with me. Recently, because of my jealous co-workers wanting my cup-cozies, Pam sent me a few to share with my office-mates.
This is a shot of our cozies together.
I have happy campers in my office aisle.
So, again, Pam, I thank you! I could so market these in the Mid-west for you!
