Great gifts

Are you like me and look for things that you just don’t see every day?  Well I love to get presents that people just don’t expect.  One of the best places I have found to do that is at abcdistrubuting.com.  They have some of the cutest, coolest, and unusual items on there that you have ever seen.  The prices are great too.  A friend of mine at work told me about them and I am so glad they did.

I do a lot of my gift giving from their books.  You can go to their web site and sign up to receive their catalogs or you can shop online.  I like to shop online instead of ordering from the catalog because it gets here faster.  I’m one of those ‘I want what I want when I want it, not later’.  Are you like that too?  I hate to be that way but I can’t help it.  I got it honest because both of my sisters are like that and we got it from Mom.

Oh trust me, Mom denys it everytime one of us tells her it’s her fault.  Daddy used to tell us that we were all just a little too much like her but it must have been okay because he sure loved her and loved us too.

Buster and the Scarecrows


Buster doesn’t do real well when I ask him to pose for a photo. I think he’s in the model’s union and knows I don’t have a contract.

Here’s the two scarecrows I put up. Both scarecrows were boys but I wanted to make one into a girl, so I added “lipstick” and “mascara.” Then I cut off the bow tie raffia and glued it under the hat to make “her” bangs. The pumpkins are a mix of real and plastic. I wanted to get them out before the trick or treaters come out tonight.

Buster thinks the whole project was silly but gives him something new to pee on when he goes out for his “morning constitutional.”

Yard Art

This time of year the change of seasons gets me thinking about the yard and being outside. I like to take short walks in the morning with my dogs before I have to leave for work. When I get home, the dogs are glad to see me and ready to go back outside for as long as I am willing to stay out with them. Of course they are on a leash – I would never let them risk their lives by running wild. And it is good for me to be outside anyway.

I want to put out some pumpkins and maybe a scarecrow or garland around my mailbox post. I’ll see what I can come up with.
