From my sister Toni




She just got back from England and sent me these gifts. For Rick she sent him the metal double Decker bus.....what she doesn't know is that I have now taken it and can't wait to alter it. I have some amazing England stamps..that would go perfect with this as a background. I have the phone booth, the guards, the cars etc.....so I will stamp them make them stand up right and use the bus in my scene. I will keep it on his side of the office...lol
Now onto what she bought me first a leather Beatrix Potter bookmark. Now I read every single day during my lunch hour. I take my book go into the breakroom and read while I eat my lunch. I just love to read.
She also sent me this awesome Chatsworth coaster. I don't want to use it as it is awesome. The soap smells like lavender.
Thank you so much Sis I love it.........
Our lovely mother and Toni went to England without me. Now I ask you where is the equality in that????
hummmmmmmmmmmm
Oh perhaps I should add that I have never met Toni nor our lovely mother. I have just been adopted by them and I have also adopted them.
Toni and I have been friends for almost seven years now via the internet. Molly Toni's mother adopted me a year or two ago. Since my mother disowned me....


My life in six words

A while ago I was challenged to describe my life in six words.
Here is where I posted my answer
http://artbyveronica.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-life-in-six-words.html

And while I stick by that I think our lives do change and therefore I would like to change my six words and would love to hear how you describe your life in six words.
So, with that said
Today I would describe my life in six words by saying this

Blessed to call Rick my husband

and if I only had a few more words I would have said... my husband my friend my life partner the one I want to grow old with and finish my life with.
But then that would be cheating... so how would you describe your life in six words?

Pretty cool mail day and a little treat

Yesterday Rick's Ipod fried and I mean fried. So, what does he do? Buy himself a new IPOD ?nope he buys me one and takes my old one. And he bought me lime green!!!! my favorite color.


I received this in the mail from Marilyn she belongs to my crop stop group. I love it. thank you so much. OH MY GOD I just realized that seriously my birthday is in just a couple of weeks. And if you must know I will be 28 yep that is my story and I am sticking to it. Then I got this from Elaine again from my crop stop group. I love it you should see the ATC she made using a Hershey chocolate wrapper. too funny

But did you see those flowers she made? oh my gosh beautiful. and she enclosed a full size Hershey bar. I think that was gone in under a minute.

So, I have my new lime green ipod on right now listening to John Mayer. Jimmy Buffet was just playing so now it is John's turn.
Have a great Saturday and tomorrow I plan on posting some new art with all those Tim Holtz stamps I bought.
So, while John sings waiting on the world to change I think I shall think about fixing dinner. I am going to guess Rick might be hungry.
love to all
Veronica

Boy do I feel stupid

I guess you need to read the fine print and then re read it and then maybe have your attorney look at it.
Case in point I received a beautiful ATC mini art canvas and thought oh my gosh I must have more. So, I search the Internet and find a sale for six bucks quantity 10 so I am thinking I am going to receive ten for six bucks awesome deal....
Duh Duh duh...it is six bucks for each tiny canvas. I could have went to dick blick and bought four for that amount of money.
And stupid stupid me..... bought another from her thinking oh how cool I will have TWENTY. duh I feel so stupid right now
