I'm so dizzy...my head is spinning!!!! HeHe

Do you remember this song? Some of you probably don't since it was recorded in 1969 but I remember it AND before you go and be thinking "WOW....Regi sure is old". I was only 11.  Now you're also probably wondering why in the world I posted this to begin with. It's because I spent all day yesterday cutting out my tags for my jewelry and shell designs and got EXTREMELY dizzy in doing so!!! Yea Yea....I know...I'm dizzy all the time but doing all that cutting and turning of the paper well, it just made my head spin. (it also reminded me of this song)

They turned out really cute, ri iight?? It was the seahorse that had my head a spinning but it was well worth every single seasick feeling. Ohhhhh...I made a funny. Did ya catch it? Cutting out seahorses and getting sea sick...water. Ohhh never mind..hehehe   Now what was I saying...oh talking about the tags. I used recycled cardstock. I found a cute seahorse and just did the outline and then as you know, cut it out. I'm old school plus the mister won't let me buy any of the cute stamps that I could have made these with. Mean Man!!  The shell card came from an image I had saved on my computer some time back. I think it was from a card that was stamped (see..I could really use some of the cute stamps available....MEAN MEAN MAN)  I'm always looking at images and saving the ones I might use down the road.  On the back of the shell card I wrote....

This item is a true (ooak)

One of a kind

using natural shells found

on beach walks here in

Gulf Shores, Alabama

I like how they look on each piece. I'm going to take just a few items to Beach Reflections to begin with, to see how they do. I still have to get some glass containers to do the hermie habitats this afternoon and will get everything delivered to the shop by (fingers crossed) Monday.

Today is going to be a squishing of the clay day. I'm trying to decide just what or who I'm going to have coming in or going out of some shells..hehe

Until next time..........keep a shell in your pocket and some sand between your toes!!!

Whew...so happy that Mother Nature finally remembered!!!!

Happy Happy Thursday and thank you so much for stopping by to visit. I have a fresh pot of coffee on and am more than willing to share a cup or two. The more you help me drink means the less I will drink. I get a bit wacky...ummmm...ok ok...wackyER the more I drink..hehe!!

Please excuse me for there not being any post for a bit. I think it's been almost a week...YIKES  My only reason for not is that we have been dealing with some VERY uncommon weather in our part of the woods or should I say beach. My studio area is in the back of the house and which use to be the back porch that ran the length of the house so it's a fairly large room and that makes it hard to heat. Well....I could keep it warm but then I would be roasting the Chazman and the mister in the front part of the house. Can't be a doing that now can I?

As you can see in my first photo we have SUN and you won't be able to see the icicles hanging off the branches for much longer I imagine. Whew...so happy that Mother Nature finally remembered where we live. I know to most this is just how winter is but not here. Some of my friends that have grown up in the area said they can't ever remember it getting like this so ya can just imagine how things worked (or didn't) here. I will say that I'm so thankful that we do live in this area because when times get hard the community acts as a whole and does what it needs to do to help one another out. There were some places that opened up with volunteer employees that came in to fix hot meals for the emergency teams having to stay out in the weather and work. Others brought hot chocolate or coffee out to them. I'm so proud of our police, firemen, city emergency workers, utility workers and everyone involved in keeping us safe for doing their job without any complaints. It's a good place to live.

I do NOT like the cold but I have to admit that the ice made some beautiful designs that sure sent my muse into overdrive!! The trees looked like they were covered in diamonds. Ohhhh how I wish!!! Hehe

 Callie and Boo did not want to stay inside just because of the ice either. Of course I made them until they both started howling so loudly that I finally gave in and let them see for themselves.

See...these silly cats enjoyed playing in the ice...such goofs. Callie was really cute because every time they would step in a place that would crunch she would hiss and jump straight up and then back up and stalk it. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't take a photo...sorry!! They only stayed out for about 5 minutes and then wanted back in and did not ask to go back outside for the rest of the day. Imagine that!!!!

I did bundle up and came back here to work some yesterday afternoon. I mean ya'll know that my art is my therapy and a girl can only go without her therapy for so long. I mean really!! I couldn't work on jewelry or sculpt because my fingers just didn't want to work right...dang fingers...so I worked on making some cards to put on the pieces I'm making to place in the shop "Beach Reflections". I'm so excited about that...so so excited. I'm planning on making the sales tags somthing that can be kept as a souvenir too. Still in the planning phase.

I hope that YOU have had a great week without to many mishaps or temper tantrums by Mother Nature. I hope that you will stop by again soon too. I love when you come to visit!!!!

Until next time.....keep a shell in your pocket and some sand between your toes,
