Scrap Happy Girl

Beading alert this is as crafty as it gets today.

Not only is my dress in customs (note I don't live anywhere near Cincinnati) but this beauty of jem pops up in my feed the Post office!   Is going to be closed on Wed. ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGG! I feel like Charlie Brown I tell you. DHL generally ships to the post office for delivery. I could use a break. GOOOOOOOD Grief!

Remember all the debate and dilemma over what dress I would pick? Well Poof that was a pipe dream even though I ordered the dress almost one month before hand (there days shy of 30) its not ready and from what they are saying it's not going to be here. Y'all I dish out or rather hubby dished out 70 bucks for nothing. Maybe I"ll have an event for new year maybe not. sigh. I give to to you the dress that will never be (unless God hands me a break on this). I'm ready to start the new year hopeful a better year next year. I keep thinking Beauty for Ashes.

The Earring Tree was the name of the mall shop where my young ears were pierced and thus was my most significant outward stepp into womanhood. I'm not a huge earring wearer however I've never been re pierced so that says something. Back to "The Party Dress Post"  if you have a party dress the earrings must be perfect. I have found a few contenders however not made my final selection. Where is a good Paparazzi rep when you need her? photo crews to Amazon for making my earring journey so... silly. From the Queens Royal Jems I give you the classic dangles. Again from the Royal palace I give you the candelabras that went missing last week. I give you the tree missing its partridge.  The swans that swim. Now we question. Why only one Flamingo and why RED? Its substantially sparkly Get your Flash dance ready we are flashing back to the 80's Tall Towers of Tassel! Drip, drip, drip, drop. Dancer holding...

Its Thanksgiving day and my pre-bought meal from Bob Evans is in the frig, the dog show is over (whippet fyi) and so is the parade. A few movies have been watched and my body says go to bed but my head is up and ready to spurt out words and wordy words. We had dinner it was good and bonus I didn't cry until about an hour ago. I had sat a picture of Mom and Dad on the hutch so I could have them with me in a way.  I wasn't able to look at it while we ate but it was comforting. Its cliché to say but an old country song is running through my mind its about spending one more day with the ones you love but then then again it only leaves you wishing for one more day.  Something like that, its not legal to post the lyrics or I would have. Today I'm wishing for that one more day, one more time. Since I didn't go home this holiday I hear the good stuff second hand. Luke my very youngest nephew (not yet in school) walked into Mom's today and she wasn't sitting ...

I wish you and your family a Blessed Thanksgiving!

I really am wondering about turkey being on the menu this year after all the recalls however I'm going to do it anyway. So I ordered Bob Evans they have dinner for us, I need to pick up Wednesday I think thats better at this point since we are not traveling. I'm sure this weekend will be filled with late nights and home improvement and food. I must go clean out the frig now so I have room for the turkey feast. My favorite part of the usual meal? Cranberry sauce... it all about slathering it on everything you can. It goes with mashed potatoes, turkey and bread its a multi purpose food!  That is saying a true compliment says the lady who eats one food at a time on her plate.  Did you know cranberry's contain a natural gel or pectin? And that they are Native to the U.S.? Ok now I'm hungry off to go clean out the frig! link
