Oh and the saying of "school nights", well that comes from that on most days I work at an Alternative School in the mornings so I still have school days. Now on weekends I stay up as late as I want to *okie states this with a smug smile as if she is 11 years old and there isn't a grown up alive that can tell her to go to bed* and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Although, sometimes Lucy does look at me like it is bed time.
Good news is that I have 3 more cards that will be posting this week from the Create A Critter cartridge. The animals featured are bees, a horse and an owl. My daughter actually looked at the owl and said "yeah I need one of those when you get done". Yeah right! Like she is gonna bust up a set of cards...NOT HAPPENING!! *okie wonders why her daughter thinks she can just come in and try to take things from the house when daughter doesn't live in the house anymore*. Ummm, anyone know a good locksmith?
As for a big announcement, I will be making a post this week for a really nice giveaway. But first I want to tell you that the giveaway is for something that has been gently used. So if you have a problem with something gently used then get the heel off my blog and don't enter! *okie busts out laughin thinking she sounded all nerdy gangsta there*. Anyway the giveaway will be for something I think a lot of you will want to enter even if it is used. THIS IS NOT THE GIVEAWAY POST SO DON'T COMMENT ABOUT IT NOW. I mean if you got something to say you are welcome to comment but don't think it will get you entered into the giveaway! *okie so loves being cryptic at times but knows there are some folks that know what okie is talkin about*
So I feel really weird not posting a picture of something so here is a picture of something.
This is my lil George. He came to me while I was on the cruise. He now hangs out watching my punches and ready to karate chop anyone who tries to steal a punch!!
You totally crack me up!!!

I know what you mean about needing a curfew. My problem is I often break curfew and need to be grounded! And why at 10 o'clock at night does it take 2 to 3 hours to finish something that you are sure can do in 15 minutes when it is 10?
ReplyDeleteI think the world is a much safer place with a curfew in check for you.
ReplyDeleteEMA
What? You mean I can't enter the drawing yet? Well, PHOOEY!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'm going to have to sneak in and snag myself one of those "nifty" punches instead. WHOA, Ole George is watching me. Is that an evil eye looking at me? And with a karate chop at the ready too? YIKES, looks like I can't do that either?!?!
Well HECK ... I guess I have no choice, I'll just have to wander off to my corner and pout, I mean wait ... for the drawings to begin! *wink*
Hugz,
Carol
Morning George!!
ReplyDeleteHi lil George! I have a curfew too or I"ll keep going and going and can't wake up the next morning!
ReplyDeleteLiz
Oh Okie, you are so funny... hugs
ReplyDeleteA Curfew is a great idea Okie.... Especially if you can't get your project done in the alotted time frame... I think I need one too... Cause I'll stay up wayyy late and then I have to get up early.... scrapper69 HATES to get up early! LOL :o)
ReplyDeleteLove your humor it is the best way to enjoy my morning with a nice hot cup of coffee. I have been looking for a neat way to organize my punches. Can you post a larger picture of your punch racks?
ReplyDeleteThank you
Linda in Stanwood
Okie!!! You are so funny! lol! Lil George is cousins withe Jimminey Criquet (spelling? lol)? Can't wait for the give away and to see your projects!
ReplyDeletethis world would be a darker place without you and your sense of humor!!!
ReplyDeleteOkie, you are too funny...just what I needed on a Monday!
ReplyDeleteSo I am sitting at work reading your post and let out a giggle here and there. Cuz you crack me up. Customers are looking at me as if I have lost it...if they only knew.
ReplyDeleteI also have to give myself a crafting curfew, but I do love to craft at night
A curfew? Are you kidding me? By the time I get the idea, pick the paper, technique, and embellishments, its already curfew time, I'd never get anything done, lol.
ReplyDeleteI think it is an awesome trait you have that you need to complete a project once started! I can see how it would be a problem... but I am terrible at finishing!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have never referred to it as a curfew, but love it! Totally makes sense, I love your sense of humor. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOkie, you are so funny! Does George make you go to bed? I bet he gives you a good smack upside your head when you don't listen. LOL.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a craft tease! I had to go buy the create-a-critter cart because of your posts! Now your holding back the next 3 cards? Looking forward to seeing them!

Okie, I so don't have a problem with gently used scrap items. In fact, I don't even have a problem with used a lot items if they still work. lol When you are on disability and can't buy things you want, you learn to be very thankful for anything!!!
ReplyDeleteNo need to elaborate, i totally hear you!
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny. Do you leave a mess if it gets to 10:00? I just had to ask. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a fairy godmother that came a 10:00 and cleaned up for us. LOL
ReplyDeleteMy husband enforces a crafting curfew on me and I HATE it. As he says, "There's a swarm going on in here." (that's his little way to get me out of the craftroom and into the bedroom- cute, huh? NO!)
ReplyDeleteI attempt to have a curfew too! I don't always following exactly but if I don't have one I'd stay up until 4 or 5 am trying to finish stuff & that doesn't work with a 4 year old!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!!!!! If I am ever having a bad day, all I have to do is read your blog and things are all better! BTW, what are your stamps hanging on?

George, look to your left, there are some fresh bugs for you to eat. :-) I need to borrow (I promise I will return) Okie's flower punch. It will be good and sharp when I return it, I need to make some popcan flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog, it always makes me smile. I cann't wait for your gently used give-a-way.
Have a great day!!!

But what does one do when they wake up at 2 am and keep thinking about that project. I also know about the daughter that doesn't live here anymore. She is at my house more now that she ever was before marriage and kids. ( The husband and kids come too). About the slightly used; I just spent almost $100 dollars at a local Christian schools consignment sale. Does that sound like slightly used bothers me. jls@eplus.net
