BlahBlahBloggerhood - Summer Bucket List

Summer Bucket List
This prompt is making me think, because I didn't have anything planned out for this summer, but now that I am thinking about it there is a few things I would like to see done this summer.

House Repairs
I would like to finish repairing the main hall way, and get it painted up nicely.
Along with finishing work on the up stair steps and the down stair steps.
I really want to repaint my bedroom/studio, a blueish grey. I'm getting tired of the orange walls and think it will be a nice change.
Get the one room cleaned out and turn it into a game room/hang out area for the kids. (that way hubby and I can reclaim our living room back, lol) ;)

Trips
Would love to take a few trips with my family up to the mountains. I'm not really a beach kind of girl anymore and would rather go up into the mountains and enjoy myself camping.
Would love to go to a few art shows and galleries.

Art
I want to work on and perfect my spray paint art.
Create some big pieces of art.
Work on a couple project with my girls and husband.
Work on some digital art.

Learn
I want to learn soft pastel and pastel pencils.
I want to learn French.

I think that is about it. That should keep me plenty busy. :)

Blah, Blah, Blah.......

BlahBlahBloggerhood - Five Things You Didn't Know About Me

This week's prompt for the Bloggerhood is "Five Things You Didn't Know About Me",.....Let's see if I can come up with five odd or quirky things about me(this shouldn't be to hard,* winks*)

1. I do not eat the ends off of french fries!!!!! I don't know why, but I started doing this when I was pregnant with my first born back in 1994. There is just something about the pointy ends/hard ends, that I don't like. So yes, at the end of a meal, I have a pile of french fry tips(my eldest daughter, eats them most of the time, fitting beings I started doing it when I was pregnant with her, lol) Oh, and after all these years of doing it, my hubby even does it know with his fries. Goes to show, if your with someone long enough, you start to pick up their habits.

2. I collect teapot houses. You would not know it by looking around my house, and not many people that are close to me know this. Started collecting them not long after I got married. On day we were shopping, and I seen this cute little house and Hubby got it for me and it started from there. I will have to see if I can dig them out of storage and take a picture of them.

3. I love to write!!! I was even published when I was in school. I love to write poems, stories and songs, even though I don't let anyone read them expect of my husband(and a few of the kids have come across a few of the notebooks and read a few things before I noticed) Started writing to deal with my life when I was young, and a lot of it was morbid and about death and dying because that's how I was feeling. My writings now, still have a dark & morbid feel, but also follow along with with the paranormal and erotica.

4. Shoes!!! Love to collect and shop for shoes, but...........I hate wearing shoes. I hate, hate, hate wearing them with a passion. You can always find me barefoot, unless I have to have shoes on to go someplace. I also always have to have nail polish on my toe nails(and most of the time on my finger nails, unless I working with something and I afraid that the nail polish will chip off.)

5. I'm a trained Multi-Medical Tech and Commercial Baker, but I have never worked in either field. My job has been raising my kids. We have an old fashion way of thinking and wanted one of us to always be there for the kids and to raising them, making sure they didn't get into trouble. Don't know what I'm going to do with myself in 3 years when the last one graduates high school. Maybe I will go back to school for art, who knows...

Till Next Time -
Blah, Blah, Blah.........

Happy New Year 2014

Happy New Year, Everyone!!!
I'm starting 2014 off with a nasty cold. In fact, my while family has it, so everyone is just laying around taking it easy. Did start on my first creation of 2014. I still have some work to do, like add feathers and a few things, but I am loving it!!!

I also got a bunch more wrapped so I can make up more once I am feeling better.(well also get better pictures once, I'm feeling better too)
