Happy Birthday to My Wonderful Aye

Today instead of a Thirsty Thursday post I will be showing off my wonderful Aye.  She is officially 10 years old today. With all the things that happened during my pregnancy and her birth I feel so blessed that she is here.  I am so very proud of her.  Aye is currently in the 4th Grade, along with being in a Gifted Class she is also in the Chess Club and Art Club.  Oh ya, there is also Girl Scouts!  

With her friends and family celebrating this weekend at s local skating rink, today I get her all to myself.  I am so excited, I have many plans for today, but can't talk about it yet, she might read this!!!  Here are some of my favorite photos of her...enjoy!

9 Tantrum Thursday

Today I wanted to take a moment and talk about something I firmly believe in

Common Courtesy while driving!

 As most of you know I have been doing a lot more driving these days.  I have suddenly remembered WHY I don't like to DRIVE in the city!  There are to many RUDE people.  I can not tell you how many times I have been on the way to drop off Aye or on the way home and someone has cut me off.  But not just pulled in front of me, actually CUT ME OFF.  This means that I have had to either hit the brakes (sometimes very hard) or swerve to miss from hitting this car.  Yes, I know that driving is a hazardous job and that you really need to be on the OFFENCE when you drive, but this is really amazing.  I actually can't believe that there are not MORE instances of ROAD RAGE or FENDER BENDERS than there are.  Between the people trying to CUT in the lane after they have RACED down to the LAST possible moment to the people who are swerving in and out of traffic trying to make it there 4 seconds faster, why aren't we just playing bumper cars?

I have taught my daughter and son to open the door for ANYONE that is in front of you and hold it for those who are behind you.  I have taught my daughter and son to say please and thank you, yes sir and call and adults by Mr. or Ms..  As Aye is only 11, I just hope that I can teach her to be a courteous driver and STAY ALIVE when I have been having trouble doing that myself - a 25+ year driving veteran.  

And as I avoid that ONE MORE DRIVER I hope that my children do not learn from my comments that yelling and using BAD words is a good thing!

I don't have anything new to list today, however, if you would PLEASE go vote for me over at the ArtFire Beadweavers Guild I would be so thankful.  My entry is #7, although I really would like for you to vote for your favorite - even if it isn't mine.

Today I want to feature this very MULTI talented artist - Butterfly-Crafts.  This wonderfully fun artist can create almost anything, in almost any medium.  There were so many beautiful things in her studio that it was hard to pick what I should feature, however, this card caught my eye!  Talk about going with our THEME for the day!?!!?   Please go check out all her sites and make sure you let her know where you found out about her.

Today I would like everyone to be curious to someone.  Their family, their friends, some random stranger driving on the road; someone.... who knows, maybe we'll start an epidemic!  ~KM

Today would like to feature a wonderful NEFA Team member, I just love these little pots.  They would be perfect for a center piece or just to put towel in on your bathroom counter for the holidays.  I only wish I could paint!! That is one of the things that I have never been able to do, so it is the one thing I have always wanted to....oh well, that just means more beads...right???  So, check out this wonderful shop, HappyMooseGardenArt and let them know what you think.  Remember to click, comment or even purchase something for your family and friends for gift....they would love these One of A Kind items!!  

Enjoy your Thirsty Thursday, I will!!!  ~KM

Yesterday I did a lot of cleaning, a lot of beading and also spent time with my Mom-In-Law.  So, over all the day was a success.  When I started look to look for my featured artist today I found many that were very nice, but none that 'jumped out at me'.  Then, way back in the listings I found this wonderful artist, Tracy Mc Evilly (ElegantWare).  These little (and they are little) cups are only 3 inches tall, but they have all kinds of personality!  I can just imagine all the beads I could put in these....

Please check them out and let her know what you think of her work.  

Enjoy your Thirsty Thursday and try not to 'drink' to much!!  ~KM

After a relatively lazy day yesterday I guess it is 'back to reality'.  Looking around Etsy I found this wonderful artist, Pate Ceramics.  I just love this pet bowl with the word THIRSTY in the bottom.  It looks very sturdy and well made.  Check them out and let them know what you think about these beautiful art.  

Enjoy your Thursday and don't forget, 

take care of your pets!!!  ~KM

Cruising around Etsy I found this wonderful shop...Julie Knowles Pottery.  I just chanced upon her mug, Carved Ladybug Lost in the Tall Grass Mug, and fell in love! 

I sure can see myself sitting on the couch on a cold night with a cup of hot chocolate or tea and feeling warm all over while using this mug.  Then, I noticed that not only are these wonderful pieces of art hand made, but she is also offering FREE SHIPPING (in the US).  WOWOWOW!!! Talk about loooovvvveeeee.... 

Enjoy your Thursday and don't get to thirsty!  ~KM

So, this morning - browsing around Etsy - I found this wonderful photo.  A annual member of my local Jacksonville Zoo, I just love to walk around and look at the animals. Tucker Imaging - "See the Beauty All around Us" (and she really does).  She is new to Etsy, but her work will speak for itself.  Please, check out her shop and maybe help her get her first sale!  This is one of my favorites.....Don't forget, Christmas is come up! 

Enjoy your day....~KM

Are your lips Thirsty this Thursday???  Amanda Jane's Creations had sent me some extra's when I ordered from her and this little pink grapefruit lip balm was one of the extras. I have used it faithfully since the day I took it out of the box!!!  It smells wonderful, feels wonderful and makes my lips softer (from hubby's mouth...I mean, they were his words)!! Please, check her shop out and let her know what you think!  Thanks and enjoy...don't get thirsty today!!!  ~KM

This Thirsty Thursday I was just thirsty for 'CUTENESS' and I found this wonderfully cute dress that is hand made by Cindy Smith for her Angel Bears shop.  I wish my daughter was still this small...this dress is just to much!  Cindy makes other dresses and does a bit of custom orders too.  Many of her items are sports team oriented...

for that little fan in your life!  

Please check out her shop, comment and maybe even buy!   Enjoy your Thirsty Thursday, hopefully I have 'quenched' your thirst for 'CUTENESS' for today!!!  ~KM

I found this wonderful water bottle holder that is not only hand made, lined and quilted, but it also has a clip for your keys and a hand crocheted holder for lip balm (which is also included)!!!  Talk about a bargain.  Now this one...the frogs...are mine, but Amanda Jane's Creations have a couple others left and many other really unique items, so make sure you check out her shop...
