Going to the Drive-In

We haven't been to the drive-in in such a long time. I love going. We are going to meet my cousin and his gf there and watch Slum Dog Millionaire and Taken. I love that it's only $5 and you get to see two movies. We always sit in the back of Robert's truck and eat, eat, eat while we watch the movies. It gets kinda cool at night, so we take blankets. I'll let you know if the movies were good.

Babies are a Week Old











Here are some pics I took today of the babies. Their eyes are still closed, but they crawl all over the place. They are little rolly pollies. They roll over each other constantly.

Here are some pics







Here are some pics of the babies at one day old. There are three of them.

New Puppies

My cousin Robert called me yesterday that his and Jaime's dog had her puppies. She had three of them. I now have the three plus the mom since I'm home and can take care of them. They look like little mice...lol. I can't wait to see them start to walk and open their eyes. They are half yorkie. I'm not sure if we are going to keep one or not. Our three keep us pretty busy, and they are already a handful. I know when the time comes for them to go back, it will be difficult to let them go.

Cyndi Bling Ring




I made this bling ring with my cousin Cyndi in mind. I named it after her. She loves big rings along with all sorts of big jewelry. I love the way it sparkles and shines. I made another similar to this one and my mom of course snatched it up today at lunch : )

The Phone Call

As I was trying to muster up energy to create some pieces, my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number so hesitated to answer it. I just knew it had to be "This is your second warning that your car warranty....". When I said "hello" there was a pause and then this lady began to ask me if her grandson was here. She sounded very emotional and distressed. I proceeded to tell her that she had the wrong number. She then told me that she has not seen in her grandson in over 25 years. She is searching for him and knows he lives in Texas somewhere.
She was crying as she told me the story of how his father had beaten him when he was little and other horror stories. My heart went out to her. I told her "We will find him. I will do whatever I can to help you locate him." She was so grateful and overwhelmed.
I wrote down all his information and have been searching for him on the net. I found where he lives but I can't seem to find a number for him anywhere. The number that did come up was a wrong one or so they say.
The lady is a singer/song writer and insisted that she wanted to send me a signed cd and a gift basket. I keep telling her that I don't want anything, but she doesn't take no for an answer. I am determined to help her find him. If you have any ideas on how to search for him, please let me know. I will keep you updated on the situation.

I have been making items to put up on etsy. I made this one tonight and called my mom to tell her and she immediately said "I want it" : ) . I am going to see her tomorrow so she was all excited. The bracelet is made with a sterling silver clasp, sterling silver crimp beads, and swarovski crystals and swarovski spacers.

Silly dogs

This week has been crazy busy. I have been working on custom orders and cleaning house..lol. Tonight my boyfriend and I were watching American Idol and I paused it to take the brownies out of the oven. I sat back down and Journey jumped on my lap and started growling at the television. When I had paused the tv, there was this cute dog with a robe on some commercial. Journey kept growling and growling at the dog. He then jumped down and charged. He got right up to the tv and started barking and barking. Well, of course Phoenix who copies his brother all the time decided to start barking at the dog on tv as well. Matt and I were laughing so hard. Then Shadow who I believe doesn't know how to bark, started making this hiccuping noise (his version of barking). It was barely audible which made us laugh even more. His head was barely moving and he was barely making any noise but he thought he was being vicious..lol. Later on in the evening I went back to the commercial to see what they would do and they started growling and barking at the cute dog on tv again. Im going to videotape them doing it sometime this weekend and post it because it is so cute.
