GET ME OUTTA HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHEN DID LIFE GET SO HECTIC. I KNEW I WAS ALWAYS BUSIER THAN MOST & COULDN'T HAVE IMAGINED THAT I COULD BE BUSIER; THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH OF ME TO GO AROUND. WITH MY SON BUYING A HOUSE, IT'S LIKE I BOUGHT ONE & HAVE TO MAKE IT PRESENTABLE. TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, IT WAS ALL READY PRESENTABLE, BUT HE'S HIGH MAINTENANCE & WON'T ACCEPET LESS OF ME FIXING UP HIS HOUSE. I TOLD HIM HE GOT THE WRONG GIRL, BECAUSE I MAKE DO IF I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT, BUT WITH HIM I METICULOUSLY PAINTED, THAT'S NOT MY STYLE, BUT FOR HIM IT WAS :) SO NOW I'LL BE DOING LANDSCAPING, PAINTING TRIM ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE, REDOING A SUNROOM HE SAYS HE WANTS TO TEAR OFF. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, SUNROOMS ARE ESSENTIAL TO WELL BEING LOL. SINCE HE LIVES LIKE A HERMIT, HE WILL BE THE BEST NEIGHBOR ANYONE COULD ASK FOR. WHY SUCH A BIG HOUSE THEN. I THINK HIS BIOLOGICAL CLOCK IS GOING OFF & IT'S TIME TO FIND MS. RIGHT, NOT MS. RIGHT NOW; TALK ABOUT PICKY; IF HE PICKS GIRLS LIKE HE PICKS PAINT, CURTAINS, FURNITURE, THEN IT'LL BE AWHILE LONGER BEFORE HE WALKS DOWN THE AISLE.

BUSYNESS........THIS IS HOW IT ALL STARTED













SO,WHEN DID I START TO GET BUSY: IT WAS THE SPRING OF 1990, WHEN MY LIFE CHANGED IN AN ODD WAY. THEY WERE FILMING A MOVIE NEARBY & WHEN THEY WENT TO LOOK FOR PROPS, THEY WENT TO AN ANTIQUE SHOP THAT I SOLD TO & BOUGHT MY ITEMS, THEY WANTED MORE OF MY "STUFF" SO THE OWNER CALLED & WANTED ME TO TAKE PICTURES, I DID, BUT BY THE TIME "HOLLYWOOD" SAW THEM, THE ITEMS WERE GONE. SO I MADE HER A DEAL; I WILL MAKE STUFF FOR YOUR SHOP IF YOU GIVE ME THE INFO FOR THE STUDIO, AS THEY WERE BACK IN HOLLYWOOD BY THE TIME THEY GOT THE PICTURES :( SO I CALLED THE STUDIO, THEY SAID WHAT THEY NEEDED, I QUOTED A PRICE, THEY SENT A CHECK, IT CLEARED, I SHIPPED & HAVE BEEN STARSTRUCK EVER SINCE. SO MY NAME HAS GOTTEN OUT THERE & WHEN I TRY TO SLOW DOWN I GET BUSIER. SO THAT TRIP TO FRANCE WILL BE A WELCOME RELIEF WHENEVER.I'M GOING TO KIDNAP MY DAUGHTER :)

VIVA LA FRANCE


SONS HOUSE & PRETTY SOON ME HANGING FROM THOSE SHUTTERS


THIS IS ANOTHER STORY WITH MY "STUFF"


WHOOPI,WHAT A RIOT, MY FOLK ART DOLL IS THE WHOOPI DOLL, LOOKS JUST LIKE HER, SHE THOUGHT SO TOO, THAT STORY AT A LATER TIME :)

THE RELAXING BATH OR "CALGON" TAKE ME AWAY!





BATHROOMS TODAY ARE BEING PLANNED FOR STYLE AS WELL AS FUNCTION. IF YOU HAVE A LARGE REMODELING BUDGET, THE SKIES THE LIMIT, BUT FOR MOST PEOPLE ON A SMALLER BUDGET YOU CAN STILL GET THE LOOK OF RICHNESS WITH A LITTLE CREATIVITY.
A LESS COMPLEX MAKEOVER WITH PAINT AND WALLPAPER, FLOORING AND LIGHTING CAN OFFER BONUSES WITHOUT DISORGANIZATION AND MAJOR EXPENSE. IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, ONCE YOU START A JOB YOU WANT IT FINISHED YESTERDAY! PAINT IS THE QUICKEST FIX FOR ANY ROOM AND THE BATH IS NO EXCEPTION. WALLPAPER HAS THE SAME EFFECT AS PAINT AND IS MY METHOD OF DECORATING, AS I HAVE HORSEHAIR PLASTER AND I WALLPAPER EVERY SIX MONTHS AND MY WALLS ARE LIKE SWISS CHEESE FROM CHANGING MY WALL DECOR SO OFTEN, (NAIL HOLES).IF YOU HAVE A STEAMY BATHROOM WITH NO VENTING, WALLPAPER MAY NOT BE SUITED FOR YOU.
COVERED BOXES, BASKETS AND OTHER CATCHALLS CAN
BE DISPLAYED OR HIDDEN IN A CUPBOARD, BUT IF THE CONTAINERS ARE PLEASING TO LOOK A T I WOULD LEAVE THOSE OUT.
REPLACING AN OUTDATED VANITY WITH A PEDESTAL SINK WILL MAKE A HUGE IMPACT IN A SMALL BATHROOM BUT YOU WILL LOSE YOUR STORAGE FOR TOWELS AND OTHER ITEMS. WITH THE FREED UP SPACE YOU COULD ADD A SMALL CUPBOARD IN THE CORNER OR HANG ONE ON THE WALL.
SIMPLY SWITCHING YOUR TOWEL COLOR, SHOWER CURTAIN AND WINDOW TREATMENTS CAN ALSO MAKE THE QUICKEST DECORATING IMPACT IN A SINGLE AFTERNOON.
A PLAIN SHOWER CURTAIN CAN BE MADE TO LOOK PRICEY WITH TASSELS, BEADED TRIM OR RUFFLES DEPENDING ON YOUR DECOR STYLE. BE SURE TO PUT A LINER BEHIND IT TO PROTECT THE CURTAIN FROM SPLASHES.
IF YOU HAVE A LARGE EMPTY WALL YOU COULD DISPLAY ASSORTED SHAPES AND SIZES OF MIRRORS ON IT.
FOR A TINY BATHROOM:
* ATTACH A NARROW SHELF HIGH ON THE WALL FOR AN OUT OF THE WAY DISPLAY SPACE FOR COLLECTIBLES.
*INSTALL WALL HUNG OR OVER THE DOOR SHELF UNITS.
*MAXIMIZE STORAGE IN A LINEN CLOSET BY INSTALLING ROLL OUT DRAWERS AND ADD MORE SHELVES AND
LIGHTING.
*INEXPENSIVE REPRODUCTION LIGHT FIXTURES OFTEN LOOK MORE REFINED THAN CHEAP MODERN STYLES.
* TO VISUALLY EXPAND THE ROOM, PUT A PATTERN ON THE FLOOR ON THE DIAGONAL WITH TILES OR PAINT A CHECKERBOARD.
DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH TOWELS:
*A WINE RACK WILL STORE TOWELS.
* PROP A LADDER FOR TOWELS.
* PILE FOLDED TOWELS IN A VINTAGE BASKET.
* HANG THEM ON GLASS DOORKNOBS OR METAL COAT HOOKS.
WINDOW TREATMENTS CAN BE AS SIMPLE AS FROSTING YOUR WINDOW FOR MORE PRIVACY. YOU CAN PURCHASE ETCHING CREAM OR DO AS I DO AND BUY FROSTED SPRAY IN A CAN; IT'S MUCH SIMPLER. SHUTTERS AND CAFE CURTAINS AND PULL DOWN SHADES ARE A GOOD IDEA. YOU COULD ALSO USE BITS AND PIECES OF OLD LACE,
WHILE YOU'RE AT IT RENEW YOUR DRAWER PULLS WITH REPRODUCTION ONES OR THE REAL THING!
IF YOUR TUB CANNOT BE REPLACED, YOU CAN BUY SPRAY ON ENAMEL FOR THE OUTSIDE OF IT OR WALLPAPER THE SIDE AS I DID ONCE. I ALSO BUILT MY TUB IN WITH AN OLD DOOR; IT NOW HAS A LEDGE WHERE MY CAT SITS AND WATCHES ME!
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ITEMS PERTAINING TO THE BATH, LIKE OLD CURLING IRONS, SHAVING MUGS, SOAP CONTAINERS, OLD TINS, OR PERFUME BOTTLES.

ADDING VINTAGE CHARM






















* ADD RETRO KNOBS AND DRAWER PULLS
* KEEP THE SIZES OF THE ROOMS ORIGINAL; SMALL ROOMS ADDS TO THE CHARM REMINISCENT OF OLD HOMES
* USE SMALL OR OCTAGONAL TILE INSTEAD OF A SOLID SURFACE OF LAMINATE
* CHOOSE VINTAGE COLORS SUCH AS PINKS, GREENS AND GRAYS. * INSTALL AN OLD LOOKING SINK FOR A FARMHOUSE LOOK.
* WHEN ADDING NEW WINDOWS, BUY SMALLER PANE ONES TO REFLECT THE AMBIENCE OF AN OLD HOME.
* TO REPLICATE THE LOOK OF OLD CUPBOARDS, USE DIFFERENT TYPES SUCH AS GLASS DOORS AND SOME WITHOUT DOORS.
* ADD TRIM AND BRACKETS TO DOORWAYS AND CUPBOARDS.
* ADD PERSONALITY AND COLLECTIBLES THAT ARE WITHIN KEEPING OF YOUR HOMES ERA.

TO CREATE A SOOTHING RETREAT LIKE ATMOSPHERE, SOFT PASTEL HUES ARE TRADITIONAL BEDROOM COLORS, BUT THEY CAN MAKE A ROOM FEEL COLD. MIX WARM SHADES OF RED AND ORANGE WITH WICKER ACCENTS. THIS IS ALSO A GOOD IDEA FOR A SUNROOM.
* TO MAKE YOUR CUPBOARD DOORS LOOK OLDER, LEAVE THE HARDWARE IN PLACE WHEN YOU PAINT THEM AND IT WILL LOOK LIKE YEARS OF BUILT UP PAINT.
* BY PAINTING WALLS AND CEILINGS NEUTRAL AND GOING WITH FURNITURE, RUGS, PILLOWS, FLOWERS AND TABLETOP ACCESSORIES IN BRIGHTER COLORS, YOU CAN SWITCH OUT COLORS EASIER THAN BUYING NEW FURNITURE.
* BY USING AS FEW LARGE FURNITURE PIECES AS POSSIBLE, WILL CREATE VISUAL SPACE, BUT WHEN LOOKING FOR FURNITURE CHOOSE ONES WITH INTERESTING SHAPES.
* USE NATURAL LIGHT IF YOUR WINDOWS ARE CHARMING THEN YOU CAN GO FROM USING NOTHING AT ALL TO BAMBOO BLINDS.
* A HOUSE WITHOUT CLUTTER LOOKS AND FEELS LIGHTER. IF YOU HAVEN'T USED SOMETHING FOR A YEAR AND IT HAS NO SENTIMENTAL VALUE, SELL IT OR THROW IT AWAY.
* RESIST BUYING FURNITURE FROM ONE PERIOD, OR YOUR ROOM WILL APPEAR STORE BOUGHT. MIXING PIECES WILL GIVE THE ROOM A SENSE OF YOUR STYLE BY PUTTING IN PIECES THAT REFLECT YOUR TASTE.
* USE FURNITURE WHERE YOU NEED IT, NOT WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
* SPLURGE ON ONE GREAT PIECE FOR EACH ROOM AND PLAY UP THE NOT SO VALUABLE PIECES.
* THE SPARKLE OF METALLIC ACCENTS, BRIGHT OR ANTIQUED, GIVES A HIGHER STYLE TO A CLASSIC COUNTRY INTERIOR.
* CREATE A TABLE FOR A FOYER BY ATTACHING TWO DECORATIVE BRACKETS TO THE WALL AND TOPPING THEM WITH A PIECE OF GLASS.
* RUN A ROD THROUGH THE HEM OF A PRETTY PAIR 0 FLAT SHEETS, THEN USE TIEBACKS TO ADJUST THE LENGTH.
* A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS: QUILTS- YELLOW W ARE- HOOKED RUGS-
PILLOWS- BASKETS - WOODEN BOWLS- LINENS- FLEA MARKETS THOUGHT YOU
MIGHT WANT TO KNOW!

WORDS TO PONDER


Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Monday, April 6, 2009

DESTRESSING POINTERS:


* KEEP THE CLUTTER OFF THE NIGHTSTAND, INSTEAD KEEP A PHOTO OR FRESH FLOWERS ON IT AND WHEN YOU WAKE UP YOU WON'T BE FACED WITH A MESS.
* TO CUT DOWN ON PAPER BULK JUST KEEP THE "CLIPPING" OF INTEREST INSTEAD OF THE WHOLE PAPER.
* FLEA MARKETS AND GARAGE SALES ARE A GOOD PLACE TO FIND CARRIERS, WOODEN BOXES AND OLD DRAWERS TO STORE MAIL AND BILLS IN.
* DON'T TRY TO KEEP UP ON DECORATING TRENDS; THAT IN ITSELF IS STRESSFUL!
INSPIRATIONS FOR COLOR:
* START WITH A PATTERN TO CREATE A COLOR PALETTE FOR YOUR DECOR.
* HUES THAT MAKE YOUR SKIN GLOW ARE TARGET COLORS.
* LOOK THROUGH DECORATING MAGAZINES, BOOKS AND CATALOGS TO SEE WHAT THE SEASONS NEWEST COLOR TRENDS ARE.
* VISIT DESIGNER SHOW HOUSES.
* LOOK THROUGH YOUR CLOSET AND CHANCES ARE YOU'LL FIND YOUR FAVORITE COLORS.
* LOOK AT THE SEA AND SKY TO GET YOUR COLORS OF BLUE.
* PEBBLES AND ROCKS CAN GIVE YOU THE MUTED SHADES OF GREY WHITE AND PINK; ALSO A BUCKET 0F SAND AND SHELLS.
* CHECK OUT SHADES OF SHERBET ICE CREAM AND GET A CONE TO MULL OVER YOUR COLOR CHOICE!
* VISIT THE COSMETICS COUNTER FOR ARRAY OF COLORS. * TAKE A LOOK AT GREETING CARDS AND PAINTINGS.
* VISIT A RESTAURANT AND CHECK OUT THEIR COLOR DECOR. * VISIT A FRIEND WHOSE STYLE AND COLORS YOU LIKE.
* CHECK OUT THE COLOR OF GEMSTONES.
* RUGS CAN PROVIDE A VARIETY OF COLOR SUGGESTIONS.

STORAGE SOLUTIONS MADE SIMPLE :
* USE MESH BAGS TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR CHILDREN'S SOCKS AND UNDERWEAR, JUST THROW IN THE WASHER AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO RE-SORT EVERYTHING AFTERWARDS.
* USE EMPTY CARDBOARD PAPER TOWEL ROLLS TO STORE UNUSED APPLIANCE CORDS AND CABLES. THE CORDS WON'T GET TANGLED AND YOU CAN LABEL THE ROLLS.
* IF YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT OR BILL PAYMENT, LEAVE YOURSELF A MESSAGE ON YOUR ANSWERING MACHINE, AND THE FLICKERING LIGHT WILL REMIND YOU OF WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.
* CLEAR OFF COUNTERTOPS AND LEAVE ONLY WHAT YOU USE AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK. THE KITCHEN WILL LOOK BIGGER AND FREE UP SPACE.
* UNCLUTTER DRAWERS BY TOSSING OR STORING GADGETS YOU USE LESS THAN ONCE A MONTH.
* WHEN DOING LABORIOUS WORK, STOP AND SWITCH GEARS; SUCH AS WEEDING OR PLANTING, IT HELPS TO LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE AND TO GET BACK TO THE NOT SO PLEASANT JOB AT HAND.
* USE ROLLING SUITCASES OR CLEAR PLASTIC CONTAINERS FOR UNDER THE BED TO STORE LINENS OR OUT OF SEASON ITEMS.
* DOUBLE YOUR CLOSET SPACE BY ADDING A HANGING CLOSET ROD FROM THE EXISTING ROD.
* STORE OUT OF SEASON CLOTHES IN VACUUM SEALED PLASTIC BAGS. I'VE JUST DISCOVERED THESE AND I DON'T KNOW WHY I DIDN'T TRY THEM SOONER!
* HANG A BUCKET STUFFED WITH BASIC CAR CLEANING EQUIPMENT ON THE WALL.
* RECYCLE JARS FROM THE KITCHEN TO STORE SMALL ITEMS LIKE NAILS OR BOLTS.











 



MORE MOMISMS!!!!!!


It doesn't matter what you accomplish, I'll always be proud of you.

I hope that when you grow up, you have kids "Just Like you"! (Also known as the "Mother's Curse")

Because I'm your mother that's why.

This is why we can't have nice things.

If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times.

Eat your vegetables, those children in China (Africa, Vietnam) would be happy to have some broccoli to eat!

If you fall out of that tree and break your leg , don't come running to me.

"Cheer up, the worst is yet to come." Usually said in advance of grounding.

MOMISMS..CAN YOU IDENTIFY :)


SINCE MOTHERS' DAY IS AROUND THE CORNER HERE ARE SOME MOMISMS THAT I'M SURE WE CAN ALL IDENTIFY WITH :) I WILL THROW SOME MORE IN FROM TIME TO TIME, LET ME KOW WHAT YOUR FAVORITE ONE IS, MAYBE I HAVE FORGOTTEN IT :)


Money does not grow on trees.

Don't make that face or it'll freeze in that position.

If I talked to my mother like you talk to me....

Always change your underwear; you never know when you'll have an accident.

Be careful or you'll put your eye out.

What if everyone jumped off a cliff? Would you do it, too?

You have enough dirt behind those ears to grow potatoes!

Close that door! Were you born in a barn?

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Don't put that in your mouth; you don't know where it's been!

Be careful what you wish for, it might come true.

Don't eat those, they will stunt your growth.

If you don't eat those, you will stunt your growth.

What's meant to be, is meant to be. (Mom only used this when something bad happened
